Paul Jenkinson, spokesperson for SuNNS notes, “the Petition makes the
Provincial government aware that a large part of the local population is
opposed to placing a gold mine in the French River Watershed/ Warwick
Mountain area, the sole source of water for the town of Tatamagouche”.
Additionally, Jenkinson notes, “the Municipality of Colchester County
has initiated a process whereby the Minister of the Environment will be
asked to grant Protected Status to this sole water source specifically
closing the area off to gold mining”.
