  • Staff Reports Prepared for the Board, the Board Has Decided That in Its Opinion
    January 21, 2015 Mr. James Wilson File: MV2014X0027 President Gwich’in Tribal Council 1-3 Council Crescent Box 1509 INUVIK NT X0E 0T0 Fax: (867) 777-7919 Dear Mr. Wilson: Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) - Department of Finance Mackenzie Valley Fibre Optic Link Project - Land Use Permit MV2014X0027 Thank you for your letter received on January 16, 2015 regarding condition 78 of Land Use Permit (Permit) MV2014X0027. In response, the Board wishes to clarify the purpose of condition 78, which relates to the manual clearing of vegetation. In the Application for the Permit, the GNWT – Department of Finance indicated that vegetation will be cleared utilizing D7 caterpillar dozers or an equivalent, which would be equipped with a low ground pressure undercarriage to cut vegetation above the root mat. Vegetation in steep terrain or in environmentally sensitive areas, such as riparian zones, would be cut by hand. The Board included condition 78 in the LUP to address the removal of vegetation in these environmentally sensitive areas. For other areas that were identified in the Application to be cleared, condition 11, which requires bulldozer blades to be equipped with “mushroom” type shoes or other similar devices, applies. The Board also included additional conditions in the Permit to ensure that impacts to the environment from the use of machinery and equipment are minimized. These conditions can be found throughout the Permit, specifically under 26(1)(c) Type and Size of Equipment and 26(1)(d) Methods and Techniques. Please also note that the use of equipment for clearing land has been screened.

  • Northwest Territories Community Wellness in Action: 1999-2000 Summary Report of Community Wellness Initiatives
    Northwest Territories Community Wellness in Action: 1999-2000 Summary Report of Community Wellness Initiatives March 2001 Community Wellness in Action 1999/2000 Minister's Opening Remarks I would like to offer my congratulations to NWT communities on the success of their community wellness programs in 1999/2000. This document outlines these community-based prevention and promotion initiatives, and provides an overview of projects so that communities can take pride in their work and share their success stories. Many communities showed ingenuity by combining funds from various sources to support large initiatives. Communities continue to work to effect change in important areas, including early childhood development, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome/Effect prevention, and community mental health. Despite the challenges that often accompany development and integration of programs, communities rose to the challenge by integrating programs to create meaningful change.This kind of resourcefulness is commendable and will continue to be important as we look to the future. I encourage communities and governments to continue working together to address the social issues that effect the well being of our children, families, and communities. We look forward to continuing to support this partnership in the future. Honourable Jane Groenewegen Minister, Health and Social Services Executive Summary Healthy people building healthy communities was the vision shared by many organizations who undertook community wellness initiatives throughout the Northwest Territories in 1999/2000. More than $6 million in community wellness funds were accessed to help communities provide support for and increase awareness of the importance of healthy families and healthy communities. With the emphasis on communities identifying their own issues and solutions, many communities put their energy into programs involving early childhood development, FAS/FAE and community mental health.
