Media Alert
Who: Donna Dillman, on her 47th (as of Fri. Nov 23) day without food What: Arriving at Queen's Park to continue her protest against uranium exploration and mining. Where: At the corner of University and Orde (one block south of College, at Princess Margaret Hospital) on a march to Queen’s Park When: Tues, Nov 27th, 2007 at: 11:00 am Why: To keep the pressure on Premier Dalton McGuinty to call a moratorium on uranium exploration and mining in eastern Ontario.
Donna Dillman moved into a tent-trailer on the site, on October 8th. She has not eaten since, in an attempt to effect a moratorium on uranium exploration and mining in eastern Ontario. Her argument is not with the exploration company, but rather with the Ontario government. After 45 days without food and feeling threatened with contempt charges if she does not remove the tent-trailer, she has decided to leave the side of the road and, instead, take her protest to Queen's Park. After Frontenac Ventures staked 30,000 acres for uranium exploration upriver of Ottawa, the Ardoch First Nation and the Shabot Obaadjiwan First Nations Blockaded the mine site entrance at Robertsville. Supported by a large contingency of non-native community members from Peterborough through to Ottawa, the FN remained behind the gate for 101 days, until they were successful in their demand for negotiations with the Provincial and Federal Governments.
