How has public input influenced recent decisions made about Giant Mine?
A. INAC’s Giant Mine Remediation Project team has worked diligently to engage the communities of Yellowknife, N’Dilo and Dettah and listen to their concerns. When the public told the team it wanted more information, INAC extended its communications efforts by four months and participated in 20 additional public sessions. The majority of residents said they did not want a “take it out” alternative due to high worker health and safety risks, among other reasons. The public is now telling INAC that it is time to move forward with remediating the site, and INAC has submitted its Remediation Plan for Giant Mine to the regulatory process.
