New Prosperity Mine hearings begin Monday Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The long-anticipated Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency’s panel hearings for the proposed New Prosperity Mine begin on Monday, July 22 in Williams Lake at the Gibraltar Room. Pencils are being sharpened as individuals and groups prepare to make presentations explaining why the project should or should not go ahead. It’s no secret there will be different camps setting up tents during the hearings, while some people are banking on attending the hearings to make
decisions of their own. Two community events are planned for 11 a.m. before the opening session — drumming and singing in Boitanio Park with First Nations leaders and a Chamber of Commerce community barbecue in the parking lot behind the complex. The hearings will go until Aug. 23, with sessions scheduled for Williams Lake, Xeni Gwet’in, Tsi Del Del, Yunesit’in, ?Esdilagh, Tl’esqox, Tl’etinqox-t’in, Dog Creek, Canoe Creek and Alkali Lake. There will also be panel site visits to Fish Lake on Friday, Aug. 9 and Canoe Creek and
