Letter of supprt for Fish Lake (Teztan Biny) from artists Monica and Barry Shelton

Vancouver-based artists Monica and Barry Shelton wrote a poignant letter to the CEAA Panel, and included some of their moving photographs and paintings.  They love the lake, the region and the Tsilhqot'in people and state: "All the copper and gold in Canada is not worth the loss of FIsh Lake. If a proposed mine can not be economically viable without draining and then filling a pristine lake with toxic tailings waste, then it should not even be considered environmentally  and/or socially acceptable."

Please take a moment to read the Shelton's brief but well-penned statement to the environmental review panel and look at their incredible pictures.
