An environmental group is calling for a ban on all industrial activities in Manitoba's provincial parks. The Wilderness Committee is making the call after it says it discovered extensive new mineral exploration destruction in Nopiming Provincial Park, about 155 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg. "There's a reason a park exists, and it's not for mining," said Reder. "The industrial operation in this sensitive area of Nopiming is going on 24 hours a day right now," said Reder. "It's outrageous they're permitting this in a provincial park and that this government is being so secretive about it."
