British Columbia. Royal Commission of Inquiry -- Health and Environmental Protection, Uranium Mining

The series consists of unedited footage on 58 video cassettes and were made by Fred Easton and the B.C. Legal Education Project, a project funded jointly by the Federal Department of Justice and the Legal Services Society. The project's purpose was to record the community hearings of the British Columbia Royal Commission on Uranium Mining, and to produce a one-hour video documentary. The video material includes footage of commission members making on-site inspections of active uranium exploration sites (V1988:50/44-48), and of the September 1979 press conference at which the commission released its first interim report (V1988:50/58). There are also interviews with commission chairman David Bates (V1988:50/23), Environment minister Rafe Mair (V1988:50/52-53), and Health minister James Hewitt (V1988:50/49-51).
