Please join us this Tuesday to gather together for a dinner and
opportunity to hear from Barriere Lake community members about their new
efforts to prevent mining in their territory, and how you can support
these efforts.

In late October, the Algonquins of Barriere Lake (ABL) set up a camp to
defend their territory from new threats of the various companies that
have mining claims there. The Quebec government has recently begun
unilaterally lifting multi-year moratoriums on mining in the area,
despite this being against the Trilateral and Bilateral Agreements of
the 1990s.
