[Indigsol] Frontenac Ventures Corp. attending Nuclear Science Discussion

[Angela Schleihauf]

Hello,

Below are details about an event this Friday discussing nuclear science.
Indigenous Peoples will not be formally represented according to the
information below. The president of the Frontenac Ventures Corporation (the
company disturbing Ardoch and Shabot Algonquin Land) will be attending. Don
Wiles (Carleton Chem Prof) will be moderating the discussion.  John Kittle
is a member of CCAMU. Mississippi Conservation Authority was only able to
talk publicly about the effects of exploration, the last time I checked.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to go, but I thought I would pass this
around.

I'll be dropping off paper products for the info-display tomorrow morning. I
have an 8:30 class, will the OPIRG office be open by then?

Have a good night!
Angela

THE MISSISSIPPI MILLS RESIDENTS' ASSOCIATION (MMRA)
TALK: NUCLEAR RIVER OR BAD SCIENCE?
INFO: ARNIE FRANCIS *arnie at istar.ca* <arnie at istar.ca>
Date/Time: Friday, October 12, 2007, 7:30 pm
Location: Almonte United Church Social Hall, Elgin Street, Almonte
Cost: No admission charge – free-will offering gratefully accepted.
This is a moderated information session which will include three
perspectives as well as a chance for questions and answers. This uranium
mining issue is proving to be a complicated and emotionally-charged debate
in which many residents of Mississippi Mills are deeply engaged. The topic
has been the subject of several news items of late. This moderated session
will allow audience members to clarify their understanding of the issues and
pose questions to the speakers.
Speakers:
Mr. John Kittle MSc has 2 years experience in nuclear physics research at
Carleton University. As a resident of North Frontenac he will present his
understanding about the dangers and consequences of proposed mining
operations on the health of the Mississippi Watershed.
Mr. George White, President of Frontenac Ventures Corporation, the company
that is seeking to proceed with uranium mining operations, will provide
arguments that support FVC's position that this uranium mining project is a
legally- and environmentally-defensible corporate pursuit.
Mr. Paul Lehman, General Manager, Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority
will provide the Conservation Authority's understanding of the proposed
mining project and discuss the possible environmental issues.
Prof. Don Wiles, of Carleton University's Department of Chemistry, will
moderate the discussion.
