April 18th, 2011 - Aboriginal and Public Involvement Program – See the Reports

author: AREVA

One of the principles of AREVA’s Corporate Social Responsibility is to engage with the leadership of Aboriginal people, municipal representatives and the general public in a manner that recognizes their interest in AREVA’s business, to understand how AREVA’s operations may potentially affect their interests, and how their interests may be accommodated by AREVA. We are committed to working with the general public and Aboriginal people who are interested or may be potentially affected by our projects, so their rights are respected.  To do this we are committed to interact with the public and Aboriginal people in a transparent manner, with mutual respect and honesty.

In keeping with the above commitments, we are pleased to provide our Aboriginal and Public Involvement Program (APIP) Strategy document as well as the related reports describing the content and results of our APIP during the first three phases of our public engagement efforts between Spring 2009 and Fall 2010.  The APIP strategy and the reports can be reviewed and downloaded on this blog right in the download section.

If you have any questions and/or comments about these documents don’t hesitate to send them to us using the contact section on this blog.

author: AREVA-admin

On January 10, 2011 we submitted our Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Receipt and Processing of McArthur River Ore at the McClean Lake Operation to the federal and provincial regulators.  This EIS was prepared in response to the regulators’ Project-Specific Guidelines, as well as the feedback we received while travelling across Saskatchewan’s North last year.  You can find a copy of the EIS main document and appendices as well as the Project-Specific Guidelines here.  The EIS is now undergoing technical review by the regulators, and will also be sujbect to a formal public comment period.  We will let you know on this blog as soon as the public comment period dates are made available by the regulators.  In the meantime, we continue to welcome your input and feedback on this document and would be pleased to answer your questions.

You can post comments/questions here, email mcarthurtomcclean@areva.ca, or call the regulatory coordinator, Carolanne Inglis-McQuay at 306-343-4555.
