Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, 30 Oct — The Green Party of Saskatchewan (GPS) stands behind anti-nuclear activist Dr. Helen Caldicott’s call to action on Uranium Mining. Caldicott says there should be no more Uranium mines opened in Saskatchewan until all previous radioactive mine tailings in the province are cleaned up and contained. Caldicott is referring to an Oraclepoll survey of 800 Saskatchewan respondents, where two-thirds of those surveyed do not want more Uranium mines opened in the province until the tailings are dealt with. Caldicott is scheduled to speak in Saskatoon on this subject on 31 October and 1 November. GPS Leader Victor Lau supports Caldicott’s call to action on Uranium mines, “Everybody in Saskatchewan is being harmed by the mine tailings that Dr. Caldicott speaks of. It makes no sense for this radioactive mess to be ignored any longer.”
