Dear Minister, As a lifelong resident and settler of Northern Ontario, a mother, a partner to an Anishinaabe person who is a caretaker of this land, and someone who deeply values this land, I ask that you do not approve new and damaging mineral exploration in Wolf Lake old growth forest. Read more

This area is recreational camping area and a unique and sensitive ecosystem. Do not open it up for exploration. Yes, exploration and mining are a very necessary part of our economy but Ontatio is vast and full of resources. Some places are worth saving. Thank you

This is a unique ecosystem and its loss to commercial interests would be incalculable. Preservation of this space is key, and this means considering prior work done to date and balancing that against what damage additional, future work would do to this space.

I am opposed to development of any kind in this area that will inevitably affect the skyline, Water flow or air/sound quality. The canoe and trail routes thru the proposed area are important to the health and enjoyment of many generations of people past, present and for the future. Read more

I am against this proposal for many reasons. I have grown up in the area and have spent 40 years enjoying its natural beauty. The area hosts a substantial old growth forest, beautiful granite outcroppings and is a very popular canoe and recreational area. Read more

Wolf Lake must be protected. Do not allow mining interests to ruin our shared heritage and future. Once gone, the old growth pine can't simply come back into existence. And for what? Near-term gains that sacrifice our health and that of our children. Protect Wolf Lake.

Please do not allow any mining exploration or development here. Old growth Red Pine and connection to a culturally significant waterway that connects Sudbury to Temagami is far more valuable to the greater public than a mine. Allowing this exploration to take place would be devasting. Read more

I apose any mining exploration in the Wolf Lake area! This is such a natural asset that no amount of minerals could justify destroying it. My family has been canoeing and hiking this area of the Temagami water shed for more than a decade and will be heartbroken if this if allowed to proceed.
