From: David and Cindy Lou [cldbrooks@sympatico.ca] Sent: December 9, 2008 9:45 AM To: lpayette@nirb.ca Subject: Beverly caribou herd It has come to my attention that an application [by Uravan Minerals] is being considered to develop uranium property on the calving ground of the Beverly caribou herd. It is also my understanding that this caribou herd has experienced a 98% reduction in its population over the past decade & a half. Please do not further jeopardize the well-being of this herd by approving this application! Sincerely, David Brooks 16 - 40 Judge Ave North Bay, Ontario P1A 1B4 The landscape requires understanding, not control.
