Millions of Canadians rely on the Ottawa River as a source of drinking water, and we believe in protecting the future of the Kichi Sibi for all Canadians.
 

In Algonquin territory, Chalk River Laboratories Ontario Canada has contaminated groundwater, lakes, and the Ottawa River without Algonquin Anishinaabeg people's consent since the 1950s. Kebaowek First Nation has recently brought a judicial review on grounds related to both the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007) and the United Nations Declaration Act (2021). The application seeks review of a January 2024 decision of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission which approved a license amendment for Canadian Nuclear Laboratories’ Near Surface Nuclear Waste Disposal Facility next to the Ottawa River. The decision of the Commission violates Kebaowek's rights as recognized by the UN Declaration - particularly Kebaowek's request for free, prior, and informed consent regarding hazardous waste storage on Algonquin unceded territory.

"This nuclear waste facility will damage the water and we all know that. Conscientious people are rising. We must rise together, we are all in that medicine wheel. No matter our colour, our creed or our title, we are all related in the human family andwe must stand together."

 

We cannot stop the thunder. We cannot stop the rain from falling. We cannot stop the lightning from shining. We cannot stop the rivers from flowing. But together as human beings, as brothers and sisters, we can certainly stop thenuclear waste facility from coming here on the Ottawa River."

NSDF-STORY-KARTE

NSDF stieß bei
der letzten behördlichen Anhörung auf Widerstand

Am Donnerstag, den 10. August 2023, legten drei Algonquin-Gemeinschaften – Kebaowek First Nation, Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg und Barriere Lake First Nation – ihre letzten Argumente vor zwei Mitgliedern der Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) vor. Den Algonquins war es nicht gestattet, sich persönlich vor den Kommissaren zu präsentieren.
