One can emphatically question the pertinence of associating this expression with a technocratic agenda conceived to engineer social, economic, and ecological progress for Québec society. Yet it is possible to ascertain elements of continuity with previous generations of policy-makers who gazed northward and nurtured bold dreams of resource exploitation in 169 the subarctic hinterland.2 Through repeated invocations of the necessity for renewal in a changing and more competitive world, the provincial government hoped that “the scope of the Plan Nord will make it in the coming decades what the [hydroelectric] development of La Manicouagan and James Bay were to the 1960s and 1970s.”3 In the realm of northern development, innovative visions for the future thus meet the aspirations of yesteryear; for proponents of the resource industry, past megaprojects are always lurking, never fully erased or forgotten yet often simplified and reformatted to accommodate contemporary priorities. Subarctic Québec is once again at the heart of a treasure hunt for the control of its “blooming iron ore scene.”4 Targets for the exploitation of major deposits in the Labrador Trough (Fig. 1),5 a geological region “set to transform into a major force in the iron ore sector” worldwide,6 point to the revival of a decisive episode in the history of large-scale resource de- velopment in the province, a period that in fact predated the harnessing of Québec’s most powerful rivers. This new iron ore rush is stimulated, not unlike the first round of mineral activities of the postwar period, by the developing needs of emerging world powers. Known around the globe for their impressive size and good ore content, the vast iron formations of northern Québec on which China and India are hoping to “feast”7 could comprise the long-term strategic reserves that these countries need in order to meet increasing domestic demand for finished steel. As com- petition for the control of iron deposits heightens globally, Québec pro- poses, once again, to hand over its best mineral reserves in the North to interests located outside of the region. At the same time, government administrators aim to integrate—on paper, at least—the virtues of prof- itable subsurface exploitation with improved environmental protection and substantial economic benefits for local indigenous communities and the province more generally. This chapter argues that a retrospective synopsis of mineral activ- ities in the Labrador Trough, at Schefferville in this particular case, can and should inform Québec’s present ambitions for industrial growth in the north. Plan Nord, the province’s latest twenty-five-year northern de- velopment plan, was formulated without comprehensive citizen engage- ment (and while bypassing the process of seeking approval from many in- digenous communities) in a region that the government continues to treat 170 6 | THE REVIVAL OF QUÉBEC’S IRON ORE INDUSTRY Figure 1: The Québec-Labrador peninsula, with the geological formation of the Labrador Iron Trough. Map by Charlie Conway. Jean-Sébastien Boutet 171 primarily as a “bank” of natural resources where few benefits are derived for the rural peripheries and their inhabitants.8 The first section adopts a state-corporate historical approach as it recounts the opening of the Ungava region to industrial interests through iron ore exploration (mid- 1930s) and the beginning of operations at the Schefferville mine (1954). In the second section, the story of the mine closure shifts the perspective toward Innu and Naskapi individuals, who remember how indigenous and mining worlds ceased to interact after 1982 at Schefferville. Finally, the third section explores the contemporary context and provides an overview of the development projects that currently define the renewed quest for iron ore extraction in the Québec-Labrador borderlands. The diverse, multi-layered interpretations of the mining past (section 2), understood in conjunction with the historical context that confirms the supremacy of state and corporate interests throughout the period (section 1), show the asymmetrical yet complex nature of the relation- ship of indigenous groups living in the area with industrial modernity. This relationship continues to be marked, informed, and shaped by the region’s deeply contested mining history, a stark reminder for contem- porary developers and policy-makers (section 3) that, despite mining’s instability and apparent ephemerality, the mining past of the region lives on. Amidst these unresolved legacies, this analysis suggests that mining proponents’ assertive guarantees of a durable, prosperous, and equitable industrial future for societies inhabiting the provincial north and the rest of Québec ought to be met with equal scrutiny and skepticism. 172 6 | THE REVIVAL OF QUÉBEC’S IRON ORE INDUSTRY THE FIRST PHASE OF IRON MINING IN THE LABRADOR TROUGH Les Américains possèdent les capitaux qui nous manquent. Ils mettent nos ressources naturelles en valeur, réveillent une richesse endormie. —Robert Rumily9 During the late interwar years, Québec politicians sought to extract wealth from what they considered to be the subarctic hinterland’s dor- mant mineral assets. In the Ungava region, the provincial administration subjected the geological formation known as the Labrador Trough to a certain preferential treatment, notably by granting exploration permits and large mining concessions to outside interests. However, this bold redefinition of geographical space in favour of foreign corporations col- lided heavily with the indigenous populations’ prior occupation of their homelands. In 1939, Québec conferred to McKay (Quebec) Explorers (MQEC) an impressive exploration concession of more than 10,000 square kilo- metres

  • Spring Survey of Caribou in the Vicinity of Schefferville May 2009
    SPRING SURVEY OF CARIBOU IN THE VICINITY OF SCHEFFERVILLE MAY 2009 Prepared for: NEW MILLENNIUM CAPITAL CORP. AND LABRADOR IRON MINES LIMITED FINAL REPORT – WITHOUT PREJUDICE Natalie D’Astous, Groupe Hémisphères Perry Trimper, Jacques Whitford Stantec Limited November 2009 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY During May 2009, Labrador Iron Mines Limited and New Millennium Capital Corp. partnered to complete an aerial survey for caribou in consultation with the Newfoundland and Labrador Wildlife Division. Both companies are undergoing environmental reviews for mining projects located in the vicinity of Schefferville, Quebec. Working under the regulatory direction of the Provincial Wildlife Division in Newfoundland and Labrador and the ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune du Quebec, consultants for these proponents (i.e., Jacques Whitford Stantec Limited (JWSL) and Groupe Hémisphères (GH), respectively) worked together to assess the presence/absence of sedentary caribou in the area surrounding these proposed iron ore developments. The survey was a requirement of the Newfoundland and Labrador environmental assessment process. Prior to field investigations, a literature search was conducted to identify a Study Area of 50 km in radius centred on each proposed development. Letters explaining the objectives and other aspects of the survey were sent to the leaders of the local First Nations concerned, namely the Innu Nation, Innu Takuaikan Uashat mak Mani-Utenam, the Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach and the Nation Innu Matimekush-Lac John. Given the presence of staging waterfowl, a portion of Attikamagen and Petitsikapau Lakes was avoided to reduce potential effects on the goose hunting activities being conducted at the time, at the request of these leaders.

  • St Lawrence Saga: the Clarke Steamship Story
    ST LAWRENCE SAGA: THE CLARKE STEAMSHIP STORY © Kevin Griffin 2013 CHAPTER 10 The s.s. North Coaster, one of three “B” Type coasters owned and operated by Clarke THE QUEBEC NORTH SHORE, NEWFOUNDLAND AND CHARTERING While the 1950s would bring an economic boom to the Quebec North Shore, the fleet now serving this coast consisted of the North Shore, North Pioneer and North Coaster, and the North Gaspé by winter. Clarke was well placed to participate in this growth. Equally, with Newfoundland having become part of Canada in 1949, the Gulfport and Novaport formed the core of the company's service to Canada's tenth province. But Clarke ships alone would not be able to satisfy the demand. Clarke ships had always carried both passengers and cargo, but the latter was now becoming increasingly more important. In addition to general cargo, project cargo would flow to the mining and power developments springing up in Quebec and Labrador and consumer traffic would grow to Newfoundland, while backhaul cargoes would be loaded for delivery to Port Alfred, Quebec, Trois-Rivières and Montreal. To serve these markets, more ships would soon have to be chartered in to supplement the core fleet. While the late 1940s had often seen Clarke chartering its ships to others, the 1950s would turn out to be Clarke's biggest period by far for chartering ships from other owners. From early days the company had been active in chartering vessels as required for its various scheduled and non-scheduled services. These ships were normally paid for on the basis of a negotiated amount of charter hire per day, called time charter, although there were occasions when the company would engage ships for a lump sum for delivery of a certain cargo on a voyage charter.

All results apply to both jurisdictions simultaneously, with the exception of the Air Quality component. For this, unless otherwise noted, the results presented/discussed refer to the federal guidelines. A unique subsection (7.3.2.2.2) is provided which presents the Air Quality results in compliance with the EPR guidelines. 7.5.1 Regional and Historical Context The nearest populations to the Project site are found in the Schefferville and Kawawachikamach areas. The Town of Schefferville and Matimekush-Lac John, an Innu community, are located approximately 25 km from the Howse Property, and 2 km from the Labrador border. The Naskapi community of Kawawachikamach is located about 15 km northeast of Schefferville, by road. In Labrador, the closest cities, Labrador City and Wabush, are located approximately 260 kilometres from the Schefferville area (Figure 7-37). The RSA for all socioeconomic components includes: . Labrador West (Labrador City and Wabush); and . the City of Sept-Îles, and Uashat and Mani-Utenam. As discussed in Chapter 4, however, Uashat and Mani-Utenam are considered within the LSA for land-use and harvesting activities (Section 7.5.2.1). The IN and NCC are also considered to be within the RSA, in particular due to their population and their Aboriginal rights and land-claims, of which an overview is presented. The section below describes in broad terms the socioeconomic and historic context of the region in which the Howse Project will be inserted.

  • Fermont: the Making of a New Town in the Canadian Sub-Arctic1
    FERMONT: THE MAKING OF A NEW TOWN IN THE CANADIAN SUB-ARCTIC1 Adrian Sheppard, FRAIC Emeritus Professor of Architecture McGill University, Montreal Canada NOTE: This paper is based on a lecture delivered on July 11, 2007 at the Ion Mincu School of Architecture and Urbanism, in Bucharest, Romania The text was revised in march 2012 ABSTRACT A significant number of new towns were built in the Canadian north since the turn of the century, most of them after 1950. The vast majority are one-industry towns created to service mining companies, government agencies, or utility corporations. Without exception, these new settlements were conceived as straightforward and pragmatic solutions to a housing need for workers and their families. Essential planning issues were bypassed in the interest of speed of construction, savings in costs, and matter-of-fact attitudes about company workers. The concern for the actual buildings (architecture) always mattered more than the design of the town (urbanism). Planners as well as their clients neglected to address important climactic, social, and aesthetic realities related to conditions of the North. The author’s former office was commissioned in the early 1970’s by Quebec Cartier Mining Corporation (QCM) to design the new town of Fermont. The town was to house 5,000 to 6,000 people and include all the essential facilities for normal northern living. QCM was a wholly owned subsidiary of US Steel Corporation, which at that time was the world’s largest steel company.2 The vast majority of the residents of the new town were employees of the Corporation.

  • Schefferville Area Iron Ore Mine Western Labrador
    Schefferville Area Iron Ore Mine Western Labrador ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT August 2009 REVISED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT 4.2.2 Wildlife 4.2.2.1 Caribou Labrador’s caribou (Rangifer tarandus) can be classified into two main groups, the migratory and sedentary (also known as woodland) ecotypes, which are distinguished by their use of calving grounds or fidelity to specific calving sites. Migratory caribou travel large distances, occupy large home ranges, and aggregate during calving periods. Conversely, sedentary caribou display limited movements, occupy smaller home ranges, and tend to disperse during the calving period (Schaefer et al. 2000; Bergerud et al. 2008). The Project occupies a portion of Western Labrador which overlaps with the range of the George River (GR) Herd. Straddling the Québec-Labrador peninsula, the GR Herd is one of the world’s largest Rangifer populations, with population estimates peaking at almost 800,000 individuals in the 1980’s (Couturier et al. 1996; Russell et al. 1996, Rivest et al. 1998). This area of western Labrador overlaps the GR Herd as a portion of their winter range (Jacobs 1996). In addition to the GR Herd, there is another migratory ecotype that is recognized on the Ungava Peninsula and known as the Rivière-aux-Feuilles (‘Leaf River’) (RAF) Herd. Existing and recognized sedentary populations include the Lac Joseph (LJ) Herd located south of the Assessment Area, and the Red Wine Mountains (RWM), the Joir River (JR), and the Mealy Mountains (MM) Herds all much further to the east. The Mealy Mountains act as a geographic barrier separating this herd from the other herds of Labrador, but the lack of a geographic barrier between the other three sedentary herds results in an overlap of herd ranges (Schmelzer et al.
