Loving Our Lakes!

IMG_2785

Lakes and other water bodies hold a special place in the Canadian identity. They are important to all Canadians in some way.
What comes to mind when you hear the words: lake, river, or wetland…?
Do you recall memories of swimming, fishing, paddling, camping, boating, or just relaxing by the water?

Wasting Lakes?

How are Canada’s lakes and other water bodies being wasted? They’re being used as toxic waste dumps by the mining industry.
And this isn’t being done in secret.… In fact, it’s perfectly legal.
Did you agree to this wasting of lakes and other water bodies?

Wasting lakes – An appropriate practice?…
Nature Canada and other organizations are growing increasingly concerned that wasting natural water bodies is becoming a normal part of business for metal mining companies, period.
Canadians have observed significant expansion of the Schedule 2 list since it was first created in 2002 – even though it was never supposed to grow beyond 5 water bodies!
