Public safety is extremely important to the Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada – Contaminants & Remediation Division (CIRNAC-CARD). We want to take this opportunity to inform the Tłı̨ chǫ Ndek’àowo and its citizens of potential ice hazards at the Colomac mine site and in particular, on Tailings Lake (located at the end of the mine property).

All hunters and trappers travelling in the area during winter months are advised that travel on these lakes should be avoided at all times. Ice warning signs have been posted around Tailings Lake at potential access points to help steer travellers clear of the lake. In addition to the ice hazards, there are a number of other hazards that could cause harm and for this reason, CIRNAC-CARD restricts site access to authorized personnel only.

If you have any questions regarding this, please contact me at (867) 446-3494, or [email protected].
