TORONTO — A proposed mine in Ontario’s Ring of Fire region has cleared another regulatory hurdle despite a First Nation’s protest.
The federal government has decided not to designate Wyloo’s Eagle’s Nest project for an impact assessment, which examines the possible environmental, health, social and economic impacts of a project.
There are other means to address concerns about the proposed mining project, including several federal and provincial laws and their corresponding legislative mechanisms, said Terence Hubbard, president of the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada.
