Widespread opposition persists in southeastern Manitoba to an Alberta-based company's proposed plan to mine for pure silica sand in the rural municipality of Springfield, two local councillors say.
Opponents of a proposed silica sand mining operation scored a win after a motion before council in the rural municipality of Springfield was defeated Monday, though it remains unclear how the decision will impact development moving forward.
A special meeting of council in rural Manitoba over a controversial silica sand project came to an abrupt end after the mayor cut the meeting short and had the police called.
