CA PDF Page 1 of 92 Energy East Project Part B: Saskatchewan and Manitoba Volume 16: Socio-Economic Effects Assessment Section 5: Traditional Land and Resource Use This section was not updated in 2015, so it contains figures and text descriptions that refer to the October 2014 Project design. However, the analysis of effects is still valid. This TLRU assessment is supported by Volume 25, which contains information gathered through TLRU studies completed by participating Aboriginal groups, oral traditional evidence and TLRU-specific results of Energy East’s aboriginal engagement Program from April 19, 2014 to December 31, 2015. The list of First Nation and Métis communities and organizations engaged and reported on is undergoing constant revision throughout the discussions between Energy East and potentially affected Aboriginal groups. Information provided through these means relates to Project effects and cumulative effects on TLRU, and recommendations for mitigating effects, as identified by participating Aboriginal groups. Volume 25 for Prairies region provides important supporting information for this section; Volume 25 reviews additional TRLU information identifies proposed measures to mitigate potential effects of the Project on TRLU features, activities, or sites identified, as appropriate. The TLRU information provided in Volume 25 reflects Project design changes that occurred in 2015. 5 TRADITIONAL LAND AND RESOURCE USE Traditional land and resource use (TLRU)1 was selected as a valued component (VC) due to the potential for the Project to affect traditional activities, sites and resources identified by Aboriginal communities. Project Aboriginal engagement activities and the review of existing literature (see Appendix 5A.2) confirmed the potential for Project effects on TLRU. The NEB also requires detailed information regarding effects on TLRU when proposed projects cross Crown land (NEB 2014), which is the case for this project and was therefore another trigger for the inclusion of this valued component. This TLRU section provides information regarding potential Project effects on Aboriginal groups’ current use of lands, waters and resources for traditional purposes. The objective of the TLRU assessment is to understand and document current use of land and resources for traditional purposes by Aboriginal peoples, identify mitigation strategies and characterize anticipated project effects. Activities associated with construction, operation, decommissioning and abandonment phases of the Project have the potential to affect current use of lands and resources for traditional purposes by Aboriginal peoples. Information regarding Energy East’s Aboriginal engagement program and the parameters for community inclusion in TLRU studies can be found in Consolidated Application Volume 10. 1 The term “traditional land and resource use” or TLRU is conceived broadly in its use throughout this Environmental and Socio-Economic Assessment (ESA) to include all aspects of terrestrial and marine environments, in recognition of the inextricable link between the environment that supports traditional land and resource use, the use activities themselves and Aboriginal culture.
