OTTAWA, ON, May 11, 2026 /CNW/ - The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) is conducting a federal impact assessment of the proposed Crawford Nickel Project, an open-pit nickel-cobalt mine and on-site metal mill, located 42 kilometres north of Timmins, Ontario.

IAAC invites Indigenous Peoples and the public to comment on the:

• Draft Impact Assessment Report, which includes IAAC's conclusions and recommendations regarding the adverse effects within federal jurisdiction along with the recommended mitigation measures and follow-up programs to mitigate and monitor these effects;
