ENGO News Release: Government Disregards Own Guidelines to Fast-Track Policy Review

April 8, 2002

News release by AWA, Pembina Institute and Toxics Watch Society. “Environmental public interest groups charge that in order to allow open pit oilsands mining in a sensitive wetlands ecosystem the Government of Alberta is ignoring its own process guidelines and rushing through an amendment to existing policy.”

When citizens and their representatives in government fail to place a high value on wilderness as a resource in itself, then its disappearance – especially in reasonably accessible locations – is swift and certain.
