Petition to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change

Whereas:
  • The Northvolt battery plant is to be built on a highly contaminated site along the Richelieu River;
  • Toxic substances in the soil could seep through during construction and contaminate the Richelieu and St. Lawrence rivers, causing serious harm to the species that live there, including the copper redhorse and beluga whale - two protected species; and
  • It is essential to protect our rivers and ecosystems by conducting a proper environmental assessment of this project.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Minister of Environment and Climate Change to:
1. Initiate public environmental assessment hearings to ensure transparency and protect our precious natural resources;
2. Not blindly trust a large, private company to protect the public’s interests; and
3. Undertake a thorough environmental assessment of the Northvolt project to prevent potential negative impacts on our precious environment.
