Mi'kmaq Matters

Millions of dollars flow into rural Newfoundland communities each year from the outfitting industry, which draws hunters and anglers to the area from across the United States and around the world. One of the biggest draws is the world's only non-resident hunt for woodland caribou. Now, many outfitters—and the revenue they bring into the province—are threatened by the proposed Valentine Lake gold mine. This week, we speak with Cory Foster, executive director of the Newfoundland and Labrador Outfitters Association.You can view a recording of our December 14 virtual public meeting about the impacts of the Valentine Lake gold mine on our Facebook page.
