March 6, 2025
The federal government has appointed a former BC minister to a new position designed to advance reconciliation over Giant Mine’s toxic legacy.
Murray Rankin, who was BC’s minister of Indigenous relations and reconciliation from 2020 until 2024, will now become a ministerial special representative responsible for Giant Mine.
From 2012 to 2019, Rankin was the NDP MP for Victoria.
He is now tasked with “assessing the impacts of the legacy of the Giant Mine on historical Treaty rights and exploring potential pathways to resolution,” Ottawa said in a Thursday news release.
