CAMPAIGN

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:

 

  1. Stop the proposed Gold mine on Cochrane Hill.

  2. No Gold Mining within 8 km corridor of the St Mary’s river water shed.

  3. Create an independent committee to review all mining proposals and projects in the province of Nova Scotia.

  4. All gold mining companies in NS pay into an environmental disaster fund.

​

Here are some ways you can help support the NOPE campaign.
