From: Bblair Richardson [blair.richardson@sympatico.ca] Sent: December 8, 2008 4:20 PM To: lpayette@nirb.ca Subject: Protection of the Beverly Caribou Herd Calving Grounds Dear NIRB, I am writing to express my opposition to Uravan’s plans for mineral exploration on the calving grounds, particularly since the survival of the once-large herd is clearly in question. Thank you for the opportunity to express a view on this important topic. Yours truly, Blair Richardson 2997 Swansea Drive Oakville ON L6L 6H9
