  • Doug Wilson's
    Doug Wilson’s - Submission to the New Prosperity Mine Review 21 September 2012 Douglas W. Wilson September 21, 2012 Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency 22nd Floor, Place Bell 160 Elgin Street Ottawa ON K1A 0H3 Dear Commission Re: Submission Regarding the New Prosperity Mine Project Although retired, as a long term resident of the Cariboo/Chilcotin Central Coast area of British Columbia I have a great interest in the economic opportunities that the development of the New Prosperity Mine would have within the Cariboo/Chilcotin Central Coast area of British Columbia. I see this mine development providing long term employment directly and indirectly for hundreds and possibly thousands. While I support the New Prosperity project, I believe it is our responsibility as Canadians to insure that such development meets and maintains stringent environmental standards. If these standards can be maintained and enforced, couple this with the actual record of Taseko Mines, and the Gibraltar/ McLeese Lake operation, in existence since the early 1970’s, Taseko Mines have shown great respect for the environment, and it is with this experience also coupled with Federal and Provincial environmental regulations that I support the development of the New Prosperity Mine Development. Regarding those that are against the development of this mine, I find the people called Xeni Gwet’in and the people called Chilcotin to be truly wonderful people with reasonable dreams and aspirations. It is cultural differences and community life styles where conflict seems to rest between dreams and aspirations. The world is in a continual state of change young Xeni Gwet’in and Chilcotin native people; in an increasing awareness of the things of the world are also having an increasing desire to have the things of the world.

  • Schedule of Indian Reserves and Settlements
    Schedule of Indian Reserves and Settlements Schedule of Indian Reserves and Settlements Preface 1. This schedule contains lists of Indian Reserves and Settlements in Canada by Provinces and lists of Indian Bands by Regions taken from information filed with the Indian Land Registry as of June 1, 1972. 2. Indian Settlements are shown in the "Reserve" columns of Parts 1 and 2. These are not Indian Reserves within the meaning of the Indian Act and occupation of settlements is not restricted to a particular Band. 3. Part 1 of the schedule lists Indian Reserves and Settlements alphabetically by Provinces. Settlements follow after the alphabetical list of Reserves for each Province. This section also states the names of the Indian Bands for whose use and benefit the Reserves have been set apart, the approximate geographical location and the approximate acreage of each Reserve. 4. Map designations are given in the location description. The N.T.S. abbreviation means the "National Topographical Systems" of maps covering the Reserves and adjacent land. Maps can be obtained by writing to the Map Distribution Office, Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, Ottawa, Ontario. When ordering maps the complete N.T.S. designations must be quoted. To assist in locating Reserve location, approximate degrees and minutes latitude and longitude have been given. 5. Acreage includes all lands in which the Band has a recorded interest. Acreages are shown as APPROXIMATE because in most cases they are based on old data which have not yet been verified. Research and surveys to establish accurate acreage are being carried out and the acreage shown may be changed in the future.

Requesting community comments on geographical naming proposals is to ensure that the proposed name reflects the heritage values of the area and is supported by a broad section of the community; it is a cornerstone ofthe provincial naming policy. Before considering changing or adopting these names, may 1 have your advice and comments? In particular, is there any reason why changing or adopting these names would not be suitable? For more information about the proposed names and location ofthe geographical features, please refer to the enclosed copy of the letters and maps. Adoption of these names would not prejudice legitimate claims to the land. Thank you in advance for any comments you would like to provide. Your response before 31 January 2018 would be appreciated.
