Geodex Backgrounder on Sisson Brook Development
Hi everyone
I wanted to bring this deadline (Oct 3) for providing input to the proposed mine at Sisson Brook. The terms of reference published at the link below will determine what gets studied for consideration in the Environmental Impact Assessment so I encourage you to check to see if concerns you raised previously have been reflected in this document and to re-iterate them if necessary and to add new concerns as you may see fit.
Last time this project generated the most public input of any project in NB, please keep up the effort, it is needed now more than ever. Just because others may be raising your concerns is not a reason to be silent yourself, the more times things are brought forward by additional individuals the harder it is for Government to ignore.
I will be reading this document and responding, I will share my thoughts with you if you like, just ask.
Please feel free to distribute this message widely.
