The process of addressing Rayrock’s contamination is being done in collaboration between the Tlicho and Federal Governments. The remediation work will help make the site safe, shrink the “avoidance area” – the zone around the Rayrock mine that Tlicho people currently avoid – and involve the local community in all aspects, from employment to communications. The cleanup project will also tackle former satellite exploration sites around Rayrock, an old barge landing at Marian Lake, and a disused power line between Rayrock and the Snare hydro facility at Big Spruce Lake. “This is another major environmental project for ALTRA | SANEXEN and are we extremely proud to be contributing directly to a more sustainable future for Canada,” says Savoy. “And more importantly, our people’s know-how and expertise in the field is being recognized directly by communities. Kwetı̨ı̨ɂaà (Rayrock) is an important area to the next generation of the Tłı̨chǫ people and the process of addressing its contaminations will provide lasting benefits. Our number one priority of the Kwetı̨ı̨ɂaà remediation project is to make the area safe again for the community.” The project is done in complete collaboration 41 AUG 2023 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
