Canada: Victory! Canadian government must report pollution from mines and mills

April 29, 2009: Environmental groups in Canada have won a victory in federal court that will ensure the Canadian government can no longer conceal pollution from its mines - including uranium mines. Millions of kilograms of carcinogens and heavy metals have been released from Canadian mines into the environment, accumulating in tailings ponds and waste rock piles. The suit was brought by Great Lakes United, Ecojustice and Mining Watch Canada.
