Oilsands mine in public interest despite ‘significant adverse’ effects, panel says | CBC News
Vancouver-based Teck Resources Ltd. aims to build the $20.6-billion Frontier mine near Wood Buffalo National Park in two phases.
Its total capacity would be 260,000 barrels of oil a day and Teck has said it aims to start producing oil in 2026.
The panel’s report includes several dozen recommended conditions for Teck and the federal and provincial governments.
They include mitigating harm to wildlife, monitoring pollutants and taking feeback from nearby First Nations into account.
The federal cabinet has until the end of February to make a decision.
