MATAWA FIRST NATIONS FILE JUDICIAL REVIEW, CONTINUE CALLS FOR JOINT REVIEW PANEL ON RING OF FIRE EA

OTTAWA, ONTARIO - NOVEMBER 7, 2011 – First Nation leaders from Northern Ontario gathered in Ottawa on Monday, sending a strong message to the Government of Canada about resource development in their territory.

Matawa First Nations - a group of nine First Nation communities in Northern Ontario have filed a Judicial Review regarding the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency’s (CEAA) failure to implement a Joint Review Panel Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Cliffs Chromite project in the Ring of Fire area.  The CEAA has opted for a Comprehensive Study EA with no realistic opportunity for First Nations to participate. The Matawa Chiefs insist that a Comprehensive Study EA will fast track the EA process for government and the resource company, but put First Nation communities at serious risk.
