LIBERAL GOVERNMENT BAN' S URANIUM MINING IN PROVINCE

EarthCare is extremely pleased that the government of B.C. has put a ban in place that controls the exploration and mining of Uranium and Thorium in the province. This may provide certainty for the mining industry but more important establishes a precedent to protect the health and safety of all British Columbian's. Please send a letter in our 'Take Action Section' thanking the province for doing this.

To send a letter to the BC Legislative assembly, please fill out the electronic form below. It will be sent instantly via email to the Premier, Environment ministry, MLA's and local and regional governments in the Okanagan Shuswap Region. There is a template letter available to you, but more information regarding uranium mining can be found here, here, and here , so you can make changes as you like to reflect your own personal views.

Re: Placement of ‘no registration reserve’ on the mining and exploration of Uranium and Thorium in the Province of B.C.

Dear Premier and MLA’s,

I am writing to thank your government for responding to the public’s concern about the exploration and mining of Uranium in this province.  The placement of “no registration reserves” in areas of the province that contain Uranium and Thorium will go a long way to stopping the potential exposure to these hazardous materials.

Amending the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code regarding to ensure that incidental exposure is minimized is an important step in ensuring that exposure to radioactive substances by workers and the public is decreased.

Not disturbing uranium will eliminate contamination of the groundwater and also prevent the release of radon gas into the environment. Radon gas is extremely hazardous and exposure to it will be reduced as a result of your actions.

Thank you again for taking this important and wise step to ensure the health and safety of the public from exposure to radioactive elements. This important measure will also protect the environment.

Respectfully,
