  • 1 Introduction
    Webequie Supply Road Environmental Assessment Draft Terms of Reference 1 Introduction The purpose of this document is to present the Terms of Reference (ToR) for the Webequie First Nation Supply Road Project (“Webequie Supply Road”, “WSR”, “the Project”) to meet the requirements of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (EA Act). The ToR is a document that establishes the framework for the planning and decision-making process during the Environmental Assessment (EA) and is submitted by the proponent to the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) for review and approval. Alongside the ToR document, material to be submitted for the public record includes the Record of Consultation, which is a stand-alone written record that documents the engagement of and consultation with Indigenous (First Nation and Métis) communities, government agencies, the public, and stakeholders during the development of the ToR, including feedback received (comments, concerns, questions) and project team responses. The proposed Webequie Supply Road is a new all-season road of approximately 107 km in length from Webequie First Nation to the mineral deposit area near McFaulds Lake (also referred to as the Ring of Fire). A Location Plan for the Project is shown on Figure 1.1. The preliminary corridor for the road consists of a northwest-southeast segment running 51 km from Webequie First Nation to a 56 km segment running east before terminating near McFaulds Lake. A total of 17 km of the corridor is within Webequie First Nation Reserve lands. Based on the scale and complexity of the Project, and the potential for significant environmental effects, an Individual Environmental Assessment must be completed for approval under the EA Act.

  • Fish and Wildlife Harvest Areas in the Hudson and James Bay Lowland, Ontario F
    ARCTIC VOL. 48, NO. 1 (MARCH 1995) P. 81–93 The Persistence of Aboriginal Land Use: Fish and Wildlife Harvest Areas in the Hudson and James Bay Lowland, Ontario F. BERKES,1 A. HUGHES,2 P.J. GEORGE,3 R.J. PRESTON,4 B.D. CUMMINS4 and J. TURNER5 (Received 17 August 1994; accepted in revised form 5 December 1994) ABSTRACT. The question of the extent and importance of contemporary aboriginal land use in the Canadian North remains controversial, despite more than 20 studies undertaken since the mid-1970s to document Native land claims and to assess impacts of development projects. In planning a community and regional development strategy that takes into account traditional land use and economy, methodologies were developed for a computer-based, integrated land use and wildlife harvest study that could be applied over large geographic areas. Wildlife harvesting areas used in 1990 by the aboriginal people of the Mushkegowuk region, Hudson and James Bay Lowland, were documented by interviewing 925 hunters from eight communities (Moose Factory, Moosonee, New Post, Fort Albany, Kashechewan, Attawapiskat, Peawanuck and Fort Severn). Results show that geographically extensive land use for hunting and fishing persists in the Mushkegowuk region, some 250 000 km2. However, the activity pattern of Omushkego (West Main) Cree harvesters has changed much over the decades; contemporary harvesting involves numerous short trips of a few days’ duration instead of the traditional long trips. Although the First Nations control only 900 km2 (0.36% of the region) as Indian reserve land, they continue to use large parts of their traditional territory.
