Vote favours nuclear dump in the North


 

Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation members have voted in favour of continuing negotiations to host a nuclear dump on nearby land.


The site is competing with another in Huron County where residents recently narrowly voted in favour of continuing negotiations.


“This is just the beginning of a long process, and our Nation will be leading every step of the way,” said Chief Clayton Wetelainen in a prepared statement.


Ignace municipal councillors earlier voted unanimously to move forward as a potential host of the $26 billion project.
