Support Rally for New Prosperity

Yesterday - 40 people in 100 Mile House braved cold weather to rally in support of a new application for Prosperity Mine, west of Williams Lake.  Read more here.  Meanwhile - a rally that was supposed to take place yesterday as well in support of the Friends' of Fish Lake's fundraising dinner cancelled over safety concerns for the participants that were set to participate in the walk to the fundraising dinner for Friends of Fish Lake - read more here

Finally - watch a 7 minute YouTube video which captures the rally of those in favour of a 3rd application by Taseko Mines for Prosperity Mine:



The New Prosperity mine application was rejected by Ottawa in late February over environmental and First Nations concerns while Taseko Mines is currently in litigation over the 'New Prosperity' Federal Review Panel's final report which Taseko Mines argues led to Ottawa rejecting its' New Prosperity mine proposal.

No official word when the matter will be deliberated in Court...
