West Quebec Coalition Against Mining Uranium

The West Quebec Coalition Against Mining Uranium (WQ-CAMU) has just started up. It is a community-based, citizen's group that is concerned with the large amount of uranium exploration going on in West Quebec (14 exploration companies and counting between Fort-Coulonge and La Peche). Its first meeting will be in January 2008.

WQ-CAMU is modelled after the Community Coalition Against Mining Uranium (CCAMU) in the North Frontenac region of eastern Ontario and the Ottawa Coaltiion Against Mining uranium (OCAMU) in the City of Ottawa.

Stay tuned for more information.

WQ-CAMU / COQCEU

We are a community group that works to protect our human, environmental, and economic health from the risks associated with uranium. Our goal is to obtain a permanent moratorium on uranium exploration, mining, and processing in MRC du Pontiac and MRC des Collines de l'Outaouais. To meet this goal our group advocates, educates, and builds coalitions.

Nous sommes un groupe communautaire travaillant à la protection de la santé humaine, environnementale et économique des risques associés à l'uranium. Notre objectif principal est d'obtenir un moratoire à long terme sur l'exploration et l'exploitation d'uranium dans la MRC du Pontiac et dans la MRC des Collines de l'Outaouais. Afin d'y parvenir, notre groupe défend, éduque et bâtit des coalitions.
