FORT WILLIAM FIRST NATION — The Ring of Fire is at the centre of a research project looking at human rights and the mining sector.
Ongoing research being done by the Anishnawbe Business Professional Association and the International Human Rights Program at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Law is aiming to show the mining sector, and the business world at large, the financial implications of focusing on human rights when dealing with Indigenous communities.
The project includes reviews of roughly 20 to 25 mining companies that are operating in northern Ontario, specifically the Ring of Fire.
