Summary of the task force meeting of September 14, 2022

The 14^th meeting of the Wasamac task force was held on September 14, 2022. The meeting had originally been convened so that members could attend the vibration modelling tests. But a blasting test done a good distance from the residential area, in preparation for the actual tests, was inconclusive from the standpoints of effectiveness and safety (more details here)

In the end, the meeting turned into a BBQ on the site of the future primary surface facilities of the Wasamac underground mining project. The change in plans was explained to the group, which was nonetheless able to watch a driller in action on the Wildcat site. Manon Garant, Exploration Superintendent, and Martin Duclos, Director of Health & Safety, Environment, and Permits, along with the RJLL drill operators, were on hand to field questions.

Kiosks were set up to present the results of community project discussions at the neighbourhood meeting of June 14, 2022. During that meeting, a consensus was reached on two main ideas: upgrading the park on chemin du lac Hélène and protecting and enhancing lac Hélène.

A video summary of the meeting was posted on the Wasamac Facebook page:
