Online Participative Workshop on Land Use
Thank you for participating in the participatory workshop and online activity. We have collected the results that will be considered in the Environmental Impact Assessment. The online interactive tools are now closed.
In-person workshop held on December 1We thank everyone who participated in our activity last December 1 to identify the different uses of the land around the Wasamac underground mining project. You pointed out your favourite places for cycling and family walks, hunting grounds, and even vacation spots. To find out more about the process, read the presentation.
Your input was greatly appreciated! We entered the information on the map below (titled “Workshop”). People who were unable to participate or want to share different information have two ways to do so online:- By pinning an activity on the map: click on the activity of your choice and drag the pin to the desired location. The pin can represent an area; you won’t need to reveal your favourite secret spots!
- By telling your story, or the story of a loved one! You can even record the scene and post it online.
Why is participation important?
Documenting current uses of the land as part of the environmental impact assessment is an exercise with two important objectives:
- To integrate the project as seamlessly as possible into the neighbourhood.
- To preserve, showcase, and contribute to the local outdoor activities that are meaningful to the people as the project progresses.
Your participation is important. Without effective information-gathering at this stage of the project, it would be more difficult to balance recreational land use with development of the underground mining project. To participate, you must first register.
You can also make an appointment by phone to share your information with us in person at the Community Relations Office, situated at 14 rue d'Évain, Rouyn-Noranda. Call us at 1 833 510-0330.
Every bit of information is useful and relevant!
Land Use Mapping
We gathered comment at the in-person workshop held on December 1, 2021 and you can see them on the map on the French site, as the workshop was conducted in French. All comments from Atelier 12/01 are from the in-person workshop. The comments were made by participants during the workshop, not by Yamana. Now, it’s your turn to pin the map!
- Choose a place of interest and drag it onto the map where you want to pin it (+). This will create a marker on the map, but it can represent an area.
- Optionnal; : add a photo to the marker.
- Optionnal: insert a comment to add more information. Tell us what you pick or hunt in this spot, for example.
- Optionnal: answer the questions. This is the type of information that will be useful to us.
You can also participate on your cell phone directly from the location of your choice. Click on the diamond in the upper right corner and you’ll see your location on the map.
Your participation is subject to moderation by a neutral third party in accordance with our Moderation Policy.
