Environmental assessment needed
Page 27
The Innu Nation and the Labrador Inuit Association won a court decision that will delay the construction of a temporary airstrip and road at Voisey's Bay, Nfld., until a full environmental assessment is done on the site. On Sept. 22, the Newfoundland Court of Appeal overturned an earlier decision by the Newfoundland Supreme Court that would have allowed the Voisey's Bay Nickel Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Inco, to build the airstrip and road without the environmental assessment.
