Duncan's First Nation APPENDIX B Part 3 Community Baseline Report and EIS Integration Summary Table - Duncan’s First Nation Site C Clean Energy Project Volume 3 Appendix B First Nations Community Baseline Reports Part 3 Community Baseline Report and EIS Integration Summary Table – Duncan’s First Nation 1 1 INTEGRATION OF COMMUNITY BASELINE REPORT 2 INTO EIS: SUMMARY REVIEW TABLE – DUNCAN’S 3 FIRST NATION 4 Duncan’s First Nation prepared the “First Nations Community Baseline Profile: Duncan’s 5 First Nation” for inclusion in the Site C Clean Energy Project (the Project) Environmental 6 Impact Statement (EIS). The report is presented in its entirety in this Appendix. A 7 Summary Review Table (Table 1) was prepared to specify where in the Duncan’s First 8 Nation Community Baseline report certain topical information is located, and where this 9 information was considered within the EIS. 10 The information in Table 1 is presented by baseline information category (e.g., 11 Traditional Use of Lands and Resources, Community Demographics, Services and 12 Infrastructure, Economics, Community Health, and Non-Traditional Use of Lands). 13 Where Duncan’s First Nation reserves are not included in the spatial boundaries of a 14 VC, and where Duncan’s First Nation has not identified an interest or concern with the 15 Project in relation to a particular VC, the information from the baseline report is not 16 linked to a VC in Table 1. Where Duncan’s First Nation has identified an interest or a 17 concern regarding a particular VC, but where Duncan’s First Nation’s reserves are not 18 included in the VC spatial boundaries, the interest is discussed in Volume 5 Section 34 19 Asserted or Established Aboriginal and Treaty Rights, Aboriginal Interests and 20 Information Requirements, as identified in Table 1. For example, Duncan’s First Nation 21 identified interests and concerns regarding Project procurement. As the Local 22 Assessment Area for the Economics VCs (Labour Market and Regional Economic 23 Development) does not extend into Alberta, Duncan’s First Nation’s interest in 24 procurement is discussed in Volume 5 Section 34 Asserted or Established Aboriginal 25 and Treaty Rights, Aboriginal Interests and Information Requirements. 26 While the baseline profile focuses on social, cultural and economic information, to the 27 extent that the baseline mentions concern with other VCs (e.g. environmental), this is 28 captured in Table 1.and the Duncan’s First Nation community baseline report were 29 shared with environmental, social, economic, land use and health Technical Leads to 30 guide them to relevant sections of the baseline report for review and consideration in 31 their VC, as appropriate.

The Project will be subject to environmental review pursuant to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act and BC Environmental Assessment Act and its scope and range of potential effects will trigger consultation and accommodation duties of the Crown pursuant to common and constitutional law principles and directives. The Duncan‟s First Nation (DFN) has prepared this “Community Baseline Profile” to facilitate the assessment of the Project‟s potential socio–economic effects and impacts on the DFN community. The DFN is a host community with the Project falling within lands historically and currently utilized by the DFN community.

The majority of the population lives on #151A.1 The two reserves comprise a total area of 2426.1 ha.2 According to Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, as of December 2012, DFN has a registered population of 269, with 142 members living on DFN reserves.3 DFN has a Chief and two Councillors, and uses a custom electoral system.4 In the 1970s, DFN joined the Lesser Slave Lake Indian Regional Council. But in 1998, DFN transferred to and formed the Western Cree Tribal Council along with Horse Lake First Nations and Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation.5 DFN is also a member of the Treaty 8 First Nations of Alberta.6 Historical Background DFN are Woodland Cree and are part of the Algonquian Cree linguistic group.7 DFN adhered to Treaty 8 on July 1, 1899.8 Reserves for DFN’s use and benefit were surveyed and established in 1905, but the reserves were not confirmed by Order-in-Council until May 3, 1907, for the first eight of the reserves, and June 23, 1925 for the last two reserves.9 In the mid-1920s, Canada sought to obtain surrenders of reserve lands belonging to DFN, the Beaver Band, and the Swan River Band, the three Bands in the Lesser Slave Lake Agency.10 Between 1925 and 1927, negotiations with the Bands were conducted 1 Duncan’s First Nation.

Executive Summary Profiling a local economy is one of the key economic analysis tools for economic development planning. An area profile provides a fundamental description of a region’s economy – its system or range of activities related to the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services – which serves as a basis or starting point for other regional economic analyses. An area profile may inform investors and entrepreneurs to consider business opportunities in the region, attract visitors, and brief the citizenry and governments on the structure, state, developments, and outlook of the local economy.

  • The Arrival of Euro-Canadian Homesteaders and the Emergence of an Agricultural Sector
    The Arrival of Euro-Canadian Homesteaders and the Emergence of an Agricultural Sector Chapter 7 Prepared by Brad Stelfox, David Leonard, and Bob Wynes Contributors Diana Brierley Cal Clark Blair English Dave Gibbons Summary Points • Agriculture has been a foundational landuse practice in northwest Alberta since the early 1900’s and its history is largely the history of European settlement in this region. • The agricultural potential of the “Peace” region was clearly exaggerated by early advocates in an attempt to encourage settlement of the region and attract regional rail and road infrastructure. • Agricultural practices are largely, but not entirely, confined to the white zone of northwest Alberta. This zone amounts to 16.1% (2,447,300 ha) of northwest Alberta and is distributed primarily along the Peace River mainstem from the British Columbia border to the Fort Vermilion region. The white zone does extend away from the Peace River mainstem north of Keg River, south of Fort Vermilion, and east of High Level. • Although agricultural crops are a common feature of the white zone of northwest Alberta, tree cover remains the largest cover type. In order of descending rank, cover types are trees, croplands, forage crops, shrublands, wetlands, water, and grasslands. • Alberta Agriculture has expressed a commitment to significant growth in primary and secondary sectors of the agriculture sector of northwest Alberta. This growth would be most likely accomplished through intensification of existing farmlands (fertilization, fencing, rotational grazing, improved agricultural phytovars), by importing forage crops from other regions, and by expansion of agricultural practices within the white zone. • Early and late season frosts continue to be a major limiting factor to cereal crop production in the white zone regions of northwest Alberta.
