  • Targeted Residential Fire Risk Reduction a Summary of At-Risk Aboriginal Areas in Canada
    Targeted Residential Fire Risk Reduction A Summary of At-Risk Aboriginal Areas in Canada Len Garis, Sarah Hughan, Paul Maxim, and Alex Tyakoff October 2016 Executive Summary Despite the steady reduction in rates of fire that have been witnessed in Canada in recent years, ongoing research has demonstrated that there continue to be striking inequalities in the way in which fire risk is distributed through society. It is well-established that residential dwelling fires are not distributed evenly through society, but that certain sectors in Canada experience disproportionate numbers of incidents. Oftentimes, it is the most vulnerable segments of society who face the greatest risk of fire and can least afford the personal and property damage it incurs. Fire risks are accentuated when property owners or occupiers fail to install and maintain fire and life safety devices such smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in their homes. These life saving devices are proven to be highly effective, inexpensive to obtain and, in most cases, Canadian fire services will install them for free. A key component of driving down residential fire rates in Canadian cities, towns, hamlets and villages is the identification of communities where fire risk is greatest. Using the internationally recognized Home Safe methodology described in this study, the following Aboriginal and Non- Aboriginal communities in provinces and territories across Canada are determined to be at heightened risk of residential fire. These communities would benefit from a targeted smoke alarm give-away program and public education campaign to reduce the risk of residential fires and ensure the safety and well-being of all Canadian citizens.

  • Horse Lake First Nation
    Appendix A.12 – Horse Lake First Nation I – Background information Horse Lake First Nation (Horse Lake) is part of the Athapaskan Dane-zaa or “Beaver” peoples, who are generally accepted to have been living in portions of northern and central Alberta from the pre-contact period until current times. The Dane-zaa means "those who live among the beaver“. Horse Lake states that their traditional territory is situated in present-day northwestern Alberta and northeastern British Columbia (BC). This assertion includes a portion of central Alberta from roughly Hinton to the BC border. They assert that from an ancient past they have utilized and inhabited the lands, waters and resources within this area for numerous different purposes, including hunting, fishing, trapping, and the exercise of cultural and traditional modes of life. The Horse Lake people continue to speak their traditional language, also called Dane-zaa. Horse Lake (at that time, the Beaver Band at Dunvegan) adhered to Treaty Eight on July 6, 1899, and its first reserves were allotted after 1906. There was much re-arranging of reserve land allotment in subsequent years and the final arrangements were not made until 1959. They are a member of the Western Cree Tribal Council along with Duncan’s First Nation and Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation. Horse Lake is also a member of the Treaty 8 First Nations of Alberta. Historically, the Crown has referred to Horse Lake people by various names, including the “Beaver Indians of Dunvegan”, the “Beavers of Grande Prairie”, and the “Dunvegan Band”. Currently Horse Lake holds two reserves: Clear Hills 152C and Horse Lakes 152B.
