Referendum Press Release
Mark and Andy officially announce the details of our referendum vote, giving residents a say if they support Sio mining in the same aquifers we drink from, before hearing more information.
Mark and Andy – Referendum / GoFundMe Launch
Councillors Mark and Andy introduce the referendum – the opportunity for the community to have a voice, and the launch of the GoFundMe campaign
By calling 204 515 1252 (Starting Aug 13/23), residents will be able to phone in their vote (YES or NO) for the project. We cannot afford a full voting day type election referendum but we feel this is the next most accurate way to allow the PEOPLE have a say in this very critical issue. GoFundMe link coming soon.
