  • Resources and Development
    resources and development On August 25, 1920, the first oil gusher was hit at Norman Wells, bringing a rush of fortune seekers into the area. The discovery of pitchblend and gold marked another turning point in the economy of the Mackenzie District in the 1930s. The opening of the Sômba K’e (Port Radium) uranium mine on Great Bear Lake in 1933 created a new home market for oil. Production of petroleum at Norman Wells increased, especially with the additional demand created in 1937 by the opening of gold mines in Yellowknife. Imperial Oil built a new refinery, and drilled two new wells. Production went from 910 barrels per year in 1932 to over 22,000 in 1938. For the first time, mineral production exceeded fur production in value for the first time in the north. 59 Petroleum exploration With the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbour in 1942, the United States Government planned to ensure a supply of fuel from Norman Wells via There is one thing I would like to say about the oil in Åe Gohlini (Norman a refinery at Whitehorse to Wells).

  • 1 Preliminary Screening Report Form
    PRELIMINARY SCREENING REPORT FORM PRELIMINARY SCREENER: Sabrina Sturman EIRB REFERENCE NUMBER: REFERENCE / FILE NUMBER: S15J-002 TITLE: Regulatory Specialist APPLICANT: AANDC-CARD ORGANIZATION: Sahtu Land and Water Board DATE: July 16, 2015 Type of Development: (H) Fuel Storage Site Type of Development: New Development (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY) Amend, EIRB Ref. # Renew, EIRB Ref. # Requires permit, licence or authorization Does not require permit, licence or authorization Project Summary: Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development – Contaminants and Remediation Directorate (CARD) is the custodian of the Canol Trail, which has been identified as a Federal contaminated site. Activities proposed by CARD are intended to reduce the physical hazard associated with wire strewn along the entire length of the Trail (372 km). Community consultation has identified this project as priority due to the entanglement hazard for antlered wildlife (with documented animal loss) and tripping hazard for trail users. The Sahtu Land Claim Agreement allows for but does not require the establishment of a Territorial Park along the Canol Trail and Dodo Canyon. The Sahtu Land Use Plan has identified the area as Zone 39: Do Et’Q (Doi T’oh Territorial Park and Canol Heritage Trail Reservation). CARD is applying to the Sahtu Land and Water Board for a Type A LUP permit for establishing campsites outside of a territorial park for more than 400 person-days (11 to 15 people for 3 to 6 week collection periods) Camp locations have yet to be finalized and will move along the Trail as the project progresses. Due to logistical constraints the project has been proposed to occur over multiple years (4) and only during summer months with no over winter storage of equipment or fuel.
