Dr. Helen Caldicott speaks in Saskatoon on November 1, 2012. Her topic: "Our Toxic Nuclear Legacy: Let's END Saskatchewan's Growing Radioactive Footprint"
She will be speaking at Third Avenue United Church at 7:30pm. We look forward to Dr. Caldicott setting the whole issue in a global context.
The summer of 2012 has seen a group of dedicated activists from Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario begin working to revive resistance against the nuclear industry’s persistent efforts to entrench its economic objectives in Saskatchewan.
Perhaps the most pressing issue is the continuing attempts by the industry-driven Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) at finding a “willing” community in northern Saskatchewan to host a nuclear waste disposal site. Northern communities are divided between the need to alleviate desperate poverty and unemployment and the very real concern for the long-term environmental and personal impact of toxic radioactive wastes.
