Water and Effluent Quality Management Policy”
April 29, 2010 To: the Mackenzie Valley Combined Distribution List (see attached list) Re: Request for review of “Water and Effluent Quality Management Policy” Attached is a draft of the “Water and Effluent Quality Management Policy” (the Policy) for your review and comment. This Policy was developed by one of the Standard Procedures and Consistency Working Groups that were created in 2008 as a joint initiative of the Gwich’in, Sahtu, Wek’èezhìi and Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Boards. Like all the Working Group products, this Policy is intended to provide greater clarity, consistency and certainty to all parties involved in the Boards’ regulatory processes. The purpose of this Policy is to describe the Boards’ approach to setting limits, called effluent quality criteria (EQC), on the amount of waste that can be discharged from a project into the environment. By describing a standard, transparent approach to setting EQC, the Policy will address some of the concerns raised in several audits of the NWT regulatory system including the McCrank Report (2008), the 2005 Auditor General’s Report, and the first NWT Environmental Audit (2005). In addition to the Draft Policy, we have attached an information package containing a one-page Plain Language Introduction to the Policy as well as answers to “Frequently Asked Questions”. The information package is meant to provide context, promote understanding and to aid in the review of the Policy. Comments on the Draft Policy are requested by July 5, 2010. Comments or questions can be sent by email, fax or mail to the Working Group chair, Kathleen Racher, at the addresses listed below. -
Northwest Territories Housing Corporation Annual Report 2012
TABLED DOCUMENT 16-17(5) TABLED ON NOVEMBER 7, 2013 Northwest Territories Housing Corporation Annual Report 2012 - 2013 Northern Solutions for Northern Housing MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER The title of this year’s Annual Report of the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation (NWTHC) “Northern Solutions for Northern Housing” is one that clearly encompasses the activities that have been undertaken this past year under the strategic plan Building for the Future – Northern Solutions for Northern Housing. Introduced on April 16, 2012, Building for the Future – Northern Solutions for Northern Housing, is the strategic plan for the NWTHC that resulted from the Shelter Policy Review. The strategic plan provides a long-term strategic framework for housing. This strategic framework renews the NWTHC’s commitment to residents to build and strengthen housing programs and services. Building for the Future is built on the advice and input of Northerners. We were told by residents that they want the NWTHC and the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) to work in partnership with residents where appropriate and to support housing in a way that is fair and sustainable. Thank you to all those residents that provided input. We heard you and your participation helped guide the NWTHC in identifying its priorities. The NWTHC has been hard at work implementing several key initiatives under the strategic plan. In 2012, we saw the implementation of a new Public Housing rent scale. The new rent scale helps address many issues with Public Housing rents such as making rents simpler, increasing fairness, and addressing the disincentive to work. Additionally, the NWTHC introduced the Transitional Rent Supplement Program (TRSP) which is designed to provide supports to people facing affordability problems in private market rentals. -

Wekweeti Wind Energy Pre-Feasibility Analysis Summary
Wekweeti Wind Energy Pre-feasibility Analysis Summary Summary of Wind Study • Since 2005, the Aurora Research Institute (ARI) has been researching the potential for wind energy project in several communities in the Northwest Territories. • In 2009, ARI chose the community of Wekweeti for a desktop pre-feasibility study to assess the wind climate and the economics of building a wind project in the community. • Wekweeti ’s electrical load is powered by a diesel-electric plant. The community has an average electrical load of 116 kilowatts (kW) and a reported peak load of 137kW. • A hill directly northwest of the hamlet was identified as an ideal location for a wind project if one were to be proposed. • Public wind maps, nearby weather station data, and wind modelling reveal that the wind speeds are around 6 m/s (22 km/h) on the hilltops next to the hamlet. • An economic study of a wind project in Wekweeti found that wind energy would cost about $0.60 to $0.70 per kilowatt hour (kWh) to produce, and that subsidies would be needed to make it competitive with present diesel fuel prices. • When the cost of diesel climbs to over $2/litre the cost of electricity from a wind project will become cheaper than diesel-electric generation. • A two-year wind monitoring program is recommended for Wekweeti. • A meteorological tower with wind sensors are recommended for installation on top of the hill by the hamlet. Assessment of Wind Speed • Two hills near Wekweeti were identified as suitable sites for evaluating wind energy (Figure 1).
