    Northern Projections Kenora District Human Capital Series Dr. Bahktiar Moazzami northernpolicy.ca Huskie the Muskie, McLeod Park, Kenora, ON Northern Policy Institute / Institut des politiques de Nord Kenora District | August 2019 3 Who We Are Northern Policy Institute Northern Policy Institute is Northern Ontario’s independent think tank. We perform research, collect and disseminate evidence, and identify policy opportunities to support the growth of sustainable Northern Communities. Our operations are located in Thunder Bay and Sudbury. We seek to enhance Northern Ontario’s capacity to take the lead position on socio-economic policy that impacts Northern Ontario, Ontario, and Canada as a whole. About the Series This Human Capital Series is an update of an earlier series published in partnership with Northern Ontario Workforce Planning. Workforce Planning Ontario is a network of 26 Workforce Planning Boards covering four regions across the province. Workforce Planning Boards gather intelligence on local labour market supply and demand, and work in partnership with employers, employment services, educators, researchers, economic development, government and other stakeholders to identify, understand and address labour market issues. This includes supporting and coordinating local responses to meet current and emerging workforce needs. Given the unique geography and labour market issues that impact Northern Ontario, all 6 planning boards in the north have collaborated to form Northern Ontario Workforce Planning. They include: Algoma Workforce Investment Corporation (AWIC); Far Northeast Training Board (FNETB); The Labour Market Group (LMG); Northwest Training and Adjustment Board (NTAB); North Superior Workforce Planning Board (NSWPB); and Workforce Planning for Sudbury & Manitoulin (WPSM). FNETB and NSWPB are currently pilot sites for Local Employment Planning Councils (LEPC).

As set out in further detail below, Wabauskang believes assessment and remediation work on and around the site must be undertaken quickly and is concerned that the proposed Order could result in further delay in this regard. Greater transparency and clear parameters for First Nations community oversight are needed. Finally, if the order is issued against Domtar, its requirements should be strengthened to ensure protection of the environment and human health now and in the future consistent with the purposes and requirements of the Environmental Protection Act. These strengthened requirements, as well as timely completion of the assessment, are also needed to ensure respect for and protection of the rights of Wabauskang community members under section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982 and sections 7 and 15 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

  • Beyond Neo-Extractivism: Challenges and Opportunities for Active International Insertion in Latin America
    ANALYSIS Beyond Neo-Extractivism: Challenges and Opportunities for Active International Insertion in Latin America Klaus Bodemer We are at present witnessing changes happening at breakneck speed in the inter- national arena, the contours of which are not yet clear. The global power center of gravity is moving from West to East. The lack of any alternative beyond the horizons of capitalism has brought to the fore the question as to which strain of capitalism is the best to guarantee welfare, political stability, security, and social harmony. Latin America’s position in this new order is ambivalent. Over the past 15 years, the region has, on the one hand, gained a foothold on the international stage, albeit with its growth capacity and insertion in the global economy subject to certain conditions; on the other, the region has been shaped by its longstanding role in the international division of labor, external constraints, limitations on financing investment, and recurring balance-of-payments crises. Understood as a springboard to the international market, Latin American integra- tion, starting in the 1980s, has shifted profoundly. Nowadays, it is more heteroge- neous than in the past, and the region more fragmented than ever before. Nor do Brazil and Mexico, as the key power brokers in the region, have at their disposal the political and economic resources they need to wield regional or subregional leadership or project themselves dynamically beyond the region. Looking at the avalanche of new trade agreements, it is increasingly obvious that they must be compatible and tied to other policy frameworks in the international sphere, first and foremost, to the broader debate on development strategies, as has been dis- cussed in a series of recent documents published by the United Nations.

CHENG ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND REPORTING BRANCH MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT TORONTO ONTARIO 2002 KK PREFACE This report provides a regional assessment of the groundwater resources of areas draining into Hudson Bay, James Bay, and the Upper Ottawa River in northern Ontario in terms of the geologic conditions under which the groundwater flow systems operate. A hydrologic budget approach was used to assess precipitation, streamflow, baseflow, and potential and actual evapotranspiration in seven major basins in the study area on a monthly, annual and long-term basis. The report is intended to provide basic information that can be used for the wise management of the groundwater resources in the study area. Toronto, July 2002.

  • INDIGENOUS LIFE PROJECTS and EXTRACTIVISM Ethnographies from South America Edited by CECILIE VINDAL ØDEGAARD and JUAN JAVIER RIVERA ANDÍA
    INDIGENOUS LIFE PROJECTS AND EXTRACTIVISM Ethnographies from South America Edited by CECILIE VINDAL ØDEGAARD and JUAN JAVIER RIVERA ANDÍA APPROACHES TO SOCIAL INEQUALITY AND DIFFERENCE Approaches to Social Inequality and Difference Series Editors Edvard Hviding University of Bergen Bergen, Norway Synnøve Bendixsen University of Bergen Bergen, Norway The book series contributes a wealth of new perspectives aiming to denaturalize ongoing social, economic and cultural trends such as the processes of ‘crimigration’ and racialization, fast-growing social-economic inequalities, depoliticization or technologization of policy, and simultaneously a politicization of difference. By treating naturalization simultaneously as a phenomenon in the world, and as a rudimentary analytical concept for further development and theoretical diversification, we identify a shared point of departure for all volumes in this series, in a search to analyze how difference is produced, governed and reconfigured in a rapidly changing world. By theorizing rich, globally comparative ethnographic materials on how racial/cultural/civilization differences are currently specified and naturalized, the series will throw new light on crucial links between differences, whether biologized and culturalized, and various forms of ‘social inequality’ that are produced in contemporary global social and political formations.

  • 1 Neo-Extractivism, Development Pathways and Contestation in Recent Years There Has Been, What Commentators Call
    RAPOPORT CENTER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS AND JUSTICE READING GROUP NATURAL RESOURCE GOVERNANCE, INEQUALITY AND HUMAN RIGHTS Neo-extractivism, Development Pathways and Contestation In recent years there has been, what commentators call, "a global surge in raw materials and the resulting dynamics of development"1 where "due to international demand for raw materials, a resource-dependent development path is gaining momentum in ... regions of the global South".2 In particular, the electronic sector is driving new demand for metals and minerals that were previously much less exploited. The term "(neo-)extractivism" (or even "extreme extraction"3) is becoming more widely used to describe growth-orientated development paths that are "economic models and sectors such as mining that revolve around the extensive extraction of raw materials and their export".4 The readings for this week examine a recent discussion of (neo-)extractivism in Latin America, and a discussion of the ways in which the extraction and export or raw materials may provide revenue to improve living conditions. • Burchardt, Hans-Jürgen and Kristina Dietz, '(Neo-)extractivism – a new challenge for development theory from Latin America' (2014) 35(3) Third World Quarterly 468. • Thea Riafrancos “Beyond the Petrostate: Ecuador’s Left Dilemma” Dissent, Summer 2015, https://www.dissentmagazine.org/article/riofrancos-beyond-petrostate-ecuador-left-dilemma Human Rights and Climate Change Climate change is increasingly recognized as raising multiple human rights concerns. This week, we look at this question, whilst also interrogating the representational problems in grappling with problems--such as climate change--that have multiple diffuse causes, where causality cannot be directly determined, and the violence of its effects is often naturalized.
