Ring of Fire Nickel Mine Environmental Assessment

under environmental assessment

The federal government of Canada is continuing its environmental assessment process for the Ring of Fire mining development, despite Ontario's request to have the province solely lead the environmental assessment. The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada will lead the federal environmental assessment involving input from 15 First Nations. The assessment aims to make recommendations regarding anticipated development impacts and inform future assessments by identifying and managing issues upfront. The federal assessment excludes the proposed network of community access roads called the 'Corridor To Prosperity' by Ontario.
