Statement in Support of the Ardoch Algonquin First Nation’s Blockade of the Proposed Frontenac Ventures Corporation Uranium Mine near Ardoch, Ontario
We the undersigned groups and individuals would like to express our strong support of the Ardoch Algonquin Nation’s nonviolent direct action protest of the proposed Frontenac Ventures Corporation Uranium Mine near Ardoch Ontario on land to which they still hold aboriginal & jurisdictional title.
Their groundwater will be severely affected if this project is allowed to go forward resulting in disastrous health problems for residents and other serious environmental impacts.
We support their right as a sovereign First Nation to determine the use and protection of their territory.
We endorse the statement of the Ardoch Algonquin First Nation.
