From the standpoint as an Ontario citizen and recreational user of provincial land this mining proposal will be incurring irreparable damage to a sensitive ecosystem thereby impacting the public health and safety to users of this forest reserve including Wahnapite First Nations.

Exploration activity in this area will have unacceptably high disturbance to the ecology and social value of this endangered forest. Four campsites are at risk under this application.

Wolf Lake is the largest known old growth red pine forest, a globally significant ecological area and the missing link in the Chiniguchi Waterway Provincial Park.
It is proposals like this that highlights it is past time to fulfill the promise to protect Wolf Lake as a provincially designated park.

This application should not be approved.
