Friend,

On August 4, 2014, the tailings dam failed at the Mount Polley mine, dumping billions of litres of toxic mining waste into Quesnel Lake and the Fraser River. An investigation found Imperial Metals’ faulty engineering caused the dam to collapse. To date, taxpayers have paid $40 million to clean up the mess.

A combination of weak and outdated mining laws, lax oversight and close ties between industry and politicians has created a climate for poor mining practices in B.C. But it doesn't have to be this way.

That's why I signed this petition to demand the province of B.C. implement polluter pay laws -- so people like you and I won’t be left with the bill. Will you join me?

Help us clean up the mining industry

Companies like Imperial Metals have exposed the weakness of B.C.’s antiquated mining laws. After the Mount Polley mine disaster, the public was left subsidizing the cleanup while the company went back to full operation — with no charges, fines or penalties. That is unacceptable in the 21st century.

Thank you for joining the call to hold mining companies accountable!

For too long corporations have treated B.C. as a dumping ground for toxic waste — and our politicians have let them get away with it.

Mining companies take the wealth out from under our feet. Then taxpayers are left to clean up their mess. We’re getting sick of it.

Together we can pressure the whole industry to clean up its act.
