Webinar #1: Indigenous Resistance to Uranium Mining
Please note that we will be broadcasting this webinar series in the Saskatchewan time zone.
Everyone is welcome to attend this webinar series that will help you know more about what is happening with uranium mining in Northern Saskatchewan. While many people have been busy in survival mode and exhausted from the pandemic, wars around the world, and the extreme rising cost of living, uranium mining lobbyists and governments have been taking advantage, passing industry-favourable laws that will further degrade and threaten freshwater systems already desperately overburdened by farming and mining use and wastewater byproducts.
No registration is required. We will broadcast live from our Facebook Event Page;
