Public safety notice: stay safe near the Giant Mine site
The Project team reminds land users that the Giant Mine site, including the townsite, is contaminated. Public access to the site is prohibited at all times due to health and safety risks. The Project team monitors the site 24 hours a day to ensure security and protection of the public.
For the next several years, public access to the public parking area, the Yellowknife Historical Society, the Giant Mine Boat Launch and Great Slave Sailing Club will not change. Temporary, short disruptions in access to the public boat launch area may occur due to certain remediation activities. The Giant Mine Remediation Project's goal is to maintain public access to the water at all times during the open water season.
When enjoying activities outdoors, including off-road and boating activities, please:
- respect in-water clearance procedures during blasting activities
- respect property boundaries and posted warning signs
- stay off the Project site
- stay on the roadway or dedicated pull-outs when driving the Ingraham Trail
- use caution when near the site
