| Abstract / Description | In 2004 MiningWatch Canada partnered with the Labrador West Status of
Women Council and the Femmes francophones de l'Ouest du Labrador on a
joint effort to explore community women's own perceptions of the effects
on their health from living in a mining town. The final report for this
project, in both official languages, was launched in Wabush/Labrador
City on February 15, 2005. The results provide insight into specific
areas of concern for women regarding their health, but clearly also
point to potential impacts from mining on community health that need to
be better understood. There is a significant amount of data that has
been and is being gathered by Federal and Provincial governments and the
mining companies themselves (IOC and Wabush Mines, owned by Cleveland
Cliffs Inc.) that needs to be shared with the community. |
