ABOUT
NOPE.
NOPE stands for "No Open Pit Excavating".
​
Since August 2019, our NOPE campaign has been active gathering information and educating community members about risks associated with the proposed Cochrane Hill gold mine project.
​
Goals of the NOPE Campaign include:
-
Stop the proposed Gold mine on Cochrane Hill.
-
No Gold Mining within 8 km corridor of the St Mary’s river water shed.
-
Create an independent committee to review all mining proposals and projects in the province of Nova Scotia.
-
All gold mining companies in NS pay into an environmental disaster fund.
​
Here are some ways you can help support the NOPE campaign.
