I urge the Government of Ontario NOTto approve this proposal. Wolf Lake area is the largest known old growth red pine forest, and mineral exploration would be devastating for this fragile ecosystem, including the proposed mechanized stripping, pitting and trenching, and line cutting. Wolf Lake is also a beloved recreational space in the Temagami area that would be lost to the public if the activities linked to mineral exploration were to go ahead.

The proposed activity is putting private sector financial gain over conservation of environmentally and culturally significant lands, also to the detriment of public enjoyment .
