Highlands East supports moratorium on uranium mining!

After months of discussion between council and community members, Highlands East Municipal Council has passed a resolution supporting a moratorium on uranium mining and exploration in Highlands East!

Reeve Dave Burton has agreed to take this resolution to county council and FUME planning to take this resolution to the three other surrounding municipalities that make up Haliburton County. We hope that the surrounding municipalities will join with Highlands East and 12 other municipalities in Ontario and pressure the Province of Ontario to call a moratorium on uranium mining and exploration.

FUME would like to take this opportunity to thank the council of Highlands East for their consideration, concern and support. We look forward to continuing the positive working relationship we have developed with council in the future. We would also like to thank the many concerned citizens who have been voicing their opposition to uranium mining and exploration in Haliburton County. Your voices are being heard!
