Iqaluit residents at a peaceful protest Monday, Feb. 8, outside the elders residence. Attendees say they want wildlife to be protected from a mine expansion on north Baffin Island.
The Qikiqtani Inuit Association says its decision to not support Baffinland's Phase 2 expansion came down to a lack of trust among communities, and uncertainty about whether new proposed mitigation measures will actually work with a larger mining operation.
Baffinland is requesting to double its shipping of iron ore from its Milne Inlet port to 12 million tonnes a year, and build a 110-kilometre railway the port. Public hearings on the proposal resumed this week in Iqaluit.
