Dan Perrins, Chair of The Future of Uranium in Saskatchewan consultation process, today announced locations, dates, and times of public meetings for northern communities:

These meetings are in addition to the ten community public consultations being held around the province (Yorkton, Estevan, Swift Current, Regina, Prince Albert, Buffalo Narrows, Lloydminster, North Battleford, Saskatoon, and La Ronge). Perrins noted that it was important to provide northern communities the opportunity to get directly involved in the consultation process.

“While there are various opportunities, we wanted to ensure that as many citizens as possible have reasonable access to the public meeting element of our entire consultation process,” Perrins said. “We look forward to the tour through our far north.”

All citizens continue to have additional ways to get informed and get involved:

• www.saskuranium.ca - the consultation website contains the full UDP report, presentation materials, online input opportunities, and ultimately, the results of the public input;
• those who want to provide input but don't want to attend a meeting or don't have internet access can send written submissions to: The Future of Uranium in Saskatchewan P.O. Box 7, Regina, SK, S4P 2Z5; and,
• individuals and stakeholders can call toll free (1-877-791-4667) to request a copy of the Uranium Development Partnership Report or Executive Summary. Stakeholder groups can call the same number to register for a one-on-one presentation to the Chair at one of the scheduled stakeholder meetings in Regina June 22nd and 23rd.

Written submissions either online or by regular mail will be accepted until July 31st.
