Welcome to the website of FARE.

Let's work together to end radioactive pollution in the Port Hope area.

We are a group of 1570 concerned residents of Port Hope who are monitoring the activities of the nuclear industry in our town, applying the lessons we learned in a successful 16-month campaign against the plans of Cameco Corporation to introduce enriched uranium to our community.

Faced with unprecedented scrutiny and questions, Cameco withdrew its license application a month before a Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission hearing. Our story is one not often told anymore -- that ordinary citizens can still make a difference.

We will post all the latest news and events along with updates, reports and letters right here...so visit regularly and then get involved in any way you can - it's our town and it's our right to ensure we are safe.
