More Nova Scotians add their names to petition calling for return of uranium ban

  • More than 10,000 people have signed a petition urging the Nova Scotia government to reinstate a ban on uranium mining in the province.
  • The opposition Liberals and NDP plan to present over 2,000 new petition signatures as the legislature resumes.
  • Premier Tim Houston's government lifted the ban on uranium mining in March 2025, but no uranium mining operations have started in Nova Scotia.
  • Cervin stated that the previous ban required stopping mining activities if uranium levels exceeded 100 parts per million, and this protection is now lost due to the repeal.
