JUST RELEASED: Our new guide developed for the Outdoor Research Council of BC can help citizens prove a public right to access wild places and green spaces they are locked out of but often have a legal right to use https://t.co/vI7dlVyOjo #unlocknature#provingpublicaccess
Mt Polley's expert panel recommended that BC reduce the number of mine tailings facilities by half in order to get toward a path to zero failures. Instead, BC is adding volume with new mines proposing some of the tallest tailings dams in the world. #bcpoli https://t.co/rmzIAtrdpP
In B.C., there are at least 172 dams holding back wet #minewaste, or #tailings, putting our communities and watersheds at risk of toxic contamination. With @SkeenaWild we've created an interactive map with information on each of these dams. Learn more at https://t.co/yNpJHAyaac
We've endorsed the updated version of "Safety First" by @earthworks@miningwatch and @londonmining with 17 guidelines to improve the management of mine waste disposal facilities to keep communities and ecosystems safe. Read more about the updates at https://t.co/wMu8DU5cf9
