Community Meetings

Over the past years more than 40 community meetings have been organized and hosted by Mount Polley management and environmental staff. Meetings have been held in the communities of Likely, Quesnel, Horsefly, Big Lake and Williams Lake. These meetings provided an opportunity for local residents to learn about the activities and progress of the remediation work and research programs being conducted, and the opportunity to engage and ask questions. Guest speakers have included consultants and representatives from provincial Ministries.

Public Liaison Committee Meetings

The Mount Polley Mine Public Liaison Committee (PLC) is comprised of representatives from the local communities of Likely, Big Lake, Horsefly and Williams Lake, local First Nations, government ministries, consultants and mine staff. Meetings are held on a quarterly basis, with the purpose to share information about activities at the mine site with the PLC members, who are there as representatives of their communities. The agenda for each meeting includes updates on mine operations, environmental monitoring, and remediation. There is also a roundtable discussion at each meeting for all participants to pose questions and discuss any community concerns.

Site Tours

Mount Polley staff have provided numerous site tours of the mine and areas impacted by the 2014 breach. Participants have included local residents, First Nations, school groups, government and community group representatives and media.
