Join the movement to reject
Uranium Mining
The Council of Canadians has long opposed uranium mining. Extracting uranium leaves behind toxic waste, pollutes water, and harms ecosystems and human health. It has no place in a just, sustainable energy future.
We believe Canada must move away from destructive resource extraction and invest in renewable energy that benefits workers and communities. That includes keeping uranium in the ground.

Join the movement to reject uranium exploration and mining in Nova Scotia.
The Houston government lifted the ban on uranium exploration and mining without public or Indigenous consultation—an undemocratic move that undermines years of environmental progress.
We can change this. Join the movement to reject uranium exploration and mining and we’ll send you ways to take action and connect you with other opportunities to get involved.
