Artists fight for mountain

Over the past year the works of 45 artists have been circulating throughout Northern Ontario to serve as a voice for a landscape that may have otherwise had none. This project is known as the Willisville Mountain Project.

Posted on Sunday, August 15 2010.

Dedicated to the protection of the the natural beauty of Willisville Mountain and the La Cloche Mountains.

'As the current Lawson Quarry will meet VALE's needs for the next 80 years, a period of time longer than the life of the company's current estimated ore reserves in the Sudbury Basin, we request areas B,C and D from the aggregate license #20568 be surrendered by VALE so there will be no future mining or quarry operations.'

- This motion was presented to VALE and the MNR at the June 2 public information meeting by the Sudbury Condominium Corporation #5, the governing body of the Village of Willisville, and supported by the La Cloche Mountains Preservation Society.

On April 15, 2011 Vale surrendered areas B, C and D from Aggregate License #20568.

It is a historic day for Canada and Vale must be sincerely congratulated for its decision.
