Waste Rock and Water Management at the Tio Mine. Summary of the Project Description. Report produced for Rio Tinto Fer et Titane. 25 p. SUMMARY 1 GENERAL INFORMATION Rio Tinto Fer et Titane inc. (hereinafter “RTFT”) has operated, since 1989, the Havre-Saint-Pierre mine, consisting of a hemo-ilmenite deposit, at its Lake Tio mining property, located 43 km north of Havre-Saint-Pierre (see Figure 1). However, the mine has been in operation since 1950. The most recent data from the mining plan provides for the site to be in operation beyond 2050. According to this plan, the total amount of waste rock which will be generated exceeds the storage capacity available under the current mining leases, which will be reached by the end of 2017. RTFT would therefore like to obtain new land lease agreements for the disposal of waste rock to be generated until the end of the mine’s life. -
It Was a Minute to Midnight: Quebec Crosses the Threshold of 17 % of Protected Areas
PRESS RELEASE For immediate release It Was a Minute to Midnight: Quebec Crosses the Threshold of 17 % of Protected Areas Montreal, December 17, 2020 – The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, Quebec chapter (SNAP Québec) is very pleased that the Quebec government is now protecting 17 % of its territory, a significant step forward in favour of conservation in Québec. Today’s announcements add 66,000 km2 of protected areas, an area equivalent to 12 times Prince Edward Island. “We applaud the government’s will to achieve international protected area targets and play a leading role in terms of conservation. Quebec is only the second province in Canada to reach the 17 % target and occupies the first place in terms of total surface area protected with more than 257,000 km2, a surface area larger than the United Kingdom,” highlights Alain Branchaud, executive director of SNAP Québec. Protecting the Territory to Protect a Way of Life SNAP Québec congratulates the Cree Nation Government for its impressive leadership in conservation and is very pleased with the more than 39,000 km2 of newly announced protected areas in Eeyou Istchee. These are the result of extensive consultations with the communities conducted by the Cree Nation Government, notably with Cree trappers and hunters. The sites thus identified therefore represent territories of high biocultural significance for these communities. It is now 23 % of Eeyou Istchee that is protected from industrial development. “This region having been impacted by hydroelectric, mining and forestry activities, this network of protected areas will allow for the conservation of territories used since a time immemorial by the Cree. -

Under Embargo Until February 23Rd 2021, 11:59 AM Eastern Time
Under embargo until February 23rd 2021, 11:59 AM Eastern Time For the first time, a river is granted official rights and legal personhood in Canada Quebec, Canada, February 23, 2021 - The Muteshekau-shipu Alliance today announced the granting of legal personhood to the Magpie River, through the adoption of two parallel resolutions by the Innu Council of Ekuanitshit and the Minganie Regional County Municipality (RCM). The river is thus assigned nine rights, as well as potential legal guardians responsible primarily for ensuring that these rights are respected. This is the first such case in Canada. The announcement was made in partnership with the International Observatory on the Rights of Nature (IORN), based in Montreal, Canada, which drafted the resolutions in collaboration with the Alliance. The two resolutions, more than ten pages each and crammed with references, rest on multiple legal bases in national and international law and will help protect the river. The initiative is part of a global movement – particularly active in New Zealand, the United States and Ecuador – to recognize the rights of Nature. The Magpie River (Muteshekau-shipu in the Innu language) is an internationally renowned river nearly 300 km long. The river is recognized worldwide for its rapids and for whitewater expeditions, most notably by the prestigious National Geographic magazine, which ranked it among the top ten rivers in the world for whitewater rafting. The river’s protection has received regional consensus, but the plan to declare the river a protected area has been thwarted for years by state-owned Hydro-Québec, due to the waterway’s hydroelectric potential. -
Origine Des Saumons (Salmo Salar) Pêchés Au Groenland Et Influence Sur La Mortalité En Mer
MARIKA GAUTHIER-OUELLET ORIGINE DES SAUMONS (SALMO SALAR) PÊCHÉS AU GROENLAND ET INFLUENCE SUR LA MORTALITÉ EN MER Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des études supérieures de l'Université Laval dans le cadre du programme de maîtrise en biologie pour l’obtention du grade de Maître ès sciences (M.Sc.) DÉPARTEMENT DE BIOLOGIE FACULTÉ DES SCIENCES ET DE GÉNIE UNIVERSITE LAVAL QUEBEC 2008 © Marika Gauthier-Ouellet, 2008 Résumé L’identification de l’origine des captures dans une pêcherie mixte, de façon à prendre en considération le statut démographique des populations exploitées dans les mesures de gestion, est un défi majeur. L’objectif du projet était d’identifier l’origine de 2835 saumons pêchés au Groenland sur une période de 11 ans (1995-2006) et à trois localités le long de la côte ouest, à l’aide de 13 microsatellites. L’étude incluait 52 populations de référence, regroupées en neuf régions génétiquement distinctes. Notre habileté à identifier la rivière d’origine des saumons a aussi été testée à l’intérieur de deux régions. Les contributions régionales moyennes ont varié de moins de 1% à près de 40%. Des variations temporelles dans les contributions régionales ont aussi été observées, notamment une diminution de contribution pour les régions du sud du Québec (-22.0% de 2002 à 2005) et du Nouveau- Brunswick (-17.4% de 1995 à 2006) et une augmentation pour la région du Labrador (+14.9% de 2002 à 2006). Les fortes corrélations entre le nombre de rédibermarins produits régionalement et les niveaux de capture obtenues pour 2002 (r = 0.79) et 2004 (r =0.92) pourraient expliquer ces variations temporelles. -

A Major Effort to Harmoniza Communities
30th Annual Meeting – IAIA – April 2010 Environmental Impact Assessment Studies at Hydro-Québec: A Major Effort to Harmonize Communities’ Energy, Economic and Social Development Louise Emond Background By their very nature, environmental impact assessments prompt us to pay a great deal of attention to the impacts of building and operating new power generation facilities. Given the basic concern for applying caution and due care, these assessments tend to look at the ―worst-case scenario‖ in order to induce the proponent to plan appropriate mitigation measures. While they may shed light on the negative effects associated with projects, assessments underplay the extensive work devoted to ensuring that projects are harmoniously integrated into the environment. Here, I would like to focus on the procedures in use at Hydro-Québec and present a review of the methods we favor to help foster the transition to a greener economy and accentuate the positive environmental effects of hydropower development. This will be an opportunity to show an often overlooked aspect of environmental impact assessments: namely, the considerable efforts made to inform the communities affected by our projects, and to implement mitigation measures designed to limit their impacts and maximize their beneficial effects. My demonstration will be based on a recent undertaking, the hydropower complex now being built on the Romaine River. This project is the largest of the current decade in Québec, and the largest infrastructure project in Canada. The impact assessment for the Romaine complex is an in-depth evaluation that runs to 10 volumes totaling nearly 2,500 pages. This assessment is backed by about 60 component studies in over 20 fields of expertise, carried out between 2004 and 2008. -

Comparison of Autoregressive Moving Average and State Space Methods
Comparison of Autoregressive Moving Average and State Space Methods for Mean Monthly Time Series Modelling of River Flows in Labrador and South East Quebec By Carissa Sparkes, P.Eng. A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Engineering Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science Memorial University of Newfoundland May 2017 St. John’s, Newfoundland Canada ii Abstract Time series data such as monthly stream flows can be modelled using time series methods and then used to simulate or forecast flows for short term planning. Short term forecasting can be applied, for example, in the hydroelectric industry to help manage reservoir levels at storage dam facilities as well as energy supply throughout the year at run of river facilities. In this study, two methods of time series modelling were reviewed and compared, the Box Jenkins autoregressive moving average (ARMA) method and the State- Space Time-Series (SSTS) method. ARMA has been used in hydrology to model and simulate flows with good results and is widely accepted for this purpose. SSTS modelling is a method that was developed in the 1990s for modelling economic time series and is relatively unused for modelling streamflow time series. The work described herein focuses on modelling stream flows from three selected basins in Labrador and South-East Quebec, the Alexis, Ugjoktok and Romaine Rivers, using these two time series modelling methods and comparing results. The ARMA and SSTS models for each study basin were compared for fit of model, accuracy of prediction, ease of use and simplicity of model to determine the preferred time series methodology approach for modelling the flows in these rivers.
