Community Workshop: Mining Law in Manitoba (Winnipeg)

We want to hear your opinions on the law, critical minerals, environmental protection, and public health, as related to the mining industry. WINNIPEG: We want to hear your opinions on the law, critical minerals, environmental protection, and public health - as related to the mining industry! WHAT WE’LL TALK ABOUT: • How is the mining industry in Manitoba regulated? • How is the public currently involved in mining decisions? • How should communities be involved in the future? • What mining innovations or legal reforms from other places could be adopted here? This project examines how Manitoba can modernize the provincial laws that govern mining and critical minerals, to support a more environmentally responsible and socially-just future for the province. We want to hear from communities across Manitoba about their experiences, their ideas for law and policy reform, and help communities participate meaningfully in the governance of the mining sector. This workshop will review mining practices and ask communities about their priorities for reform.
