Discover the gripping, true story of Giant Mine—a saga of immense wealth, devastating violence, and the creation of a toxic legacy that will last for 10,000 years. While living in Yellowknife I sounded the alarm as a Journalist. For over five decades, Giant Mine was the golden heart of Yellowknife, NWT, transforming the frontier into a thriving Canadian city. But beneath the prosperity lay a dangerous reality: the relentless pursuit of gold left behind a catastrophic environmental debt. This book explores the explosive history of the mine, delving into: The Gold Rush and the Boom: How Giant Mine shaped the North, generating vast fortunes and fueling the region's economy. - The Human Cost: The chilling narrative of the 1992 labour dispute and bombing that killed nine men, a pivotal moment of violence in Canadian industrial history. - The Invisible Poison: The devastating health and social studies confirming the long-term impact of 13,500 tonnes of highly toxic arsenic trioxide—enough to contaminate the Great Slave Lake—and the disproportionate burden placed on the Yellowknives Dene First Nation. - The Perpetual Responsibility: An in-depth look at the complex, multi-billion dollar Giant Mine Remediation Project, where engineers must essentially freeze the poison for perpetuity, creating a challenge unprecedented in Canadian history. Giant Mine is more than a history book; it's a critical examination of corporate accountability, environmental justice, and the profound intergenerational responsibility required to clean up the toxic remnants of the resource economy. Read the full story of one of Canada's most notorious environmental disasters and the ongoing struggle to safeguard the future of the North.
