FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 17, 2020 Métis Nation – Saskatchewan and Meadow Lake Tribal Council commit two months of food to the North West. June 17, 2020 – Saskatoon, SK – Métis Nation – Saskatchewan (MN-S) with the Chiefs of the Meadow Lake Tribal Council (MLTC) are distributing enough critical food supports in North West Saskatchewan for all households in all communities for two months. MN–S has been proactive to provide support to the North West of the province hit hard by COVID- 19. MN–S took action by supplying 37 self-isolation units to northern communities, housing those affected as well as front-line workers in remote regions. MN–S has secured and been distributing Personal Protective Equipment, home sanitation kits and food. Before any collaborations, MN-S addressed food security by providing over 340 thousand dollars worth of food to La Loche, Jans Bay, Cole Bay, Patuanak, Beauval, Buffalo Narrows, Michel Village, St. George’s Hill, Ile-a-la-Crosse and Pinehouse. To date, with its inter-nation partners, Chiefs of the Meadow Lake Tribal Council (MLTC) and municipal leaders, critical food supports have been sent to La Loche, Turnor Lake, Bear Creek, Lac Point, Dore/Sled Lake, Green Lake, Birch Narrows Dene Nation, Buffalo River Dene Nation, Canoe Lake Cree Nation, Clearwater River Dene Nation and English River Dene Nation. MN-S and MLTC stand with community leaders to ensure we meet the needs of all residents as we see our way through this pandemic. We are also hard at work on the emergency response plan to be triggered immediately in the event a second wave hits. MN-S is proud of the partnerships formed and the subsequent work to make sure citizens are safe, protected and fed. The North West partnership will continue to be active for the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and active for up to six months after. -30- FOR MEDIA INQUIRIES: Julia Burns – MN-S Communications Director 306-850-1670 .

It is located in a relatively undisturbed area of the boreal forest about 4 km off of Highway 914 and approximately 35 km north-northeast of the Key Lake uranium operation. Wheeler is a joint venture project owned by Denison Mines Corp. (Denison) and JCU (Canada) Exploration Company Ltd. (JCU). Denison owns 90% of Wheeler and is the operator, while JCU owns 10%. Denison is a uranium exploration and development company with interests focused in the Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan, Canada with a head office in Toronto, Ontario and technical office in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Historically Denison has had over 50 years of uranium mining experience in Saskatchewan, Elliot Lake, Ontario, and in the United States. Today, the company is part owner (22.5%) of the McClean Lake Joint Venture which includes the operating McClean Lake uranium mill in northern Saskatchewan. To advance the Project, Denison is applying an innovative approach to uranium mining in Canada called in situ recovery (ISR). The use of ISR mining at Wheeler means that there will be no need for a large open pit mining operation or multiple shafts to access underground mine workings; no workers will be underground as the ISR process is conducted from surface facilities.

Abstract Recently northwest Saskatchewan has seen a rapid push towards large-scale development corresponding with a shifting political economy in the province. For the rights- bearing Métis people of northwest Saskatchewan this shift significantly influences provincial environmental governance, which affects the agency of Métis people to participate in natural resource management and decision-making in the region. To examine the agency and power of Métis communities in provincial natural resource management and decision-making, qualitative methods and a comparative case study of three Métis communities were used to analyze and interpret the social spaces that Métis people occupy in provincial environmental governance.

Final Report
Recovering Scrap Metal from Northern Communities in Saskatchewan Final Project Report Prepared by Saskatchewan Waste Reduction Council March 31, 2007 A project funded by Government of Canada Climate Change Mitigation Program Northern Saskatchewan Scrap Metals Project 2 Background Metal recycling in the southern half of Saskatchewan is fairly well established. Most municipal landfills have a designated area for scrap metals. Some recycling programs include household metals. The collection and recycling of scrap metal from northern communities is hampered by transportation distances and lack of infrastructure. There are metal stockpiles in Saskatchewan’s north, but their locations and volumes have not been systematically catalogued. In addition, there is currently no plan in place to address either the legacy piles or the ongoing accumulation of such materials. Project Objectives The objectives of this project were: • to locate and quantify the extent of metals stockpiled in northern Saskatchewan communities • to conduct a pilot to remove scrap metal from selected communities in order to determine the associated costs of scrap metal recovery in northern Saskatchewan • to investigate potential transportation options, including transportation corridors and backhaul options, to move scrap metals from northern communities to southern markets • to develop an implementation plan for the province that will include recommendations and creative ways of overcoming the barriers to increased recycling of northern/remote scrap metal • to seek the commitment from partners to embrace the scrap metal recovery plan with a view towards ongoing support Results Steering Committee The first task of the project was to bring together a steering committee composed of those knowledgeable about northern communities and those knowledgeable about scrap metal issues.
