City council called Monday night for the province to suspend uranium exploration — the same day the provincial government announced it would build two new nuclear reactors at its Darlington station.
John Kittle, with the Community Coalition Against Mining Uranium, urged council to pass the resolution calling for the moratorium.
Allowing mining companies to explore for uranium in Ontario watersheds is a recipe for disaster, Kittle said.
“They’re not good neighbours,” he said. “The province should treat uranium as a high priority special case.
“We need to make it crystal clear to the province that we don’t want this.”
In addition to the environmental impacts, Kittle said the mining legislation allows companies to stake claims without permission from property owners or municipalities.
“It’s a throwback to the Wild West days and it’s still on the books,” he said of the legislation. “The McGuinty Liberals are determined to allow uranium exploration in Ontario.”
Council unanimously approved the resolution to ask the province for a moratorium untilall environmental and health issues related to uranium mining are resolved.
The gallery erupted with applause after the vote.
