GRENVILLE-SUR-LA-ROUGE | A spike in mineral exploration has prompted Grenville-sur-la-Rouge to impose interim controls in an attempt to head off any problems that could be caused by min- ing operations. The goal is to ensure that the environ- ment and roads are not adversely affected by any future mineral extraction, noted Mayor John Saywell. “We are not sure what we are getting into,” he remarked. Until ramifications can be properly assessed, “It is best to put a brake on it.” Some obvious concerns about min- eral extractions are possible impacts on ground water.
