RELEASE: No more new bitumen mines!

Written By Beverly Andrews

We have many unacknowledged environmental and human health impacts from existing bitumen mines, with currently over a billion cubic metres of toxic tailings. Keepers of the Athabasca is one of the intervenors working hard to stop a proposal for the biggest bitumen mine yet. KoA cross examined Teck Resources Inc.'s team on September 27 and 28, and gave direct evidence on October 4, 2018 in Fort McMurray. This media release has quotations from KoA's Expert Witnesses and concerns about the way the Joint Review Panel views their mandate.
