    TD 187-19(2) TABLED ON OCTOBER 19, 2020 October 16, 2020 MS. LESA SEMMLER MLA, INUVIK TWIN LAKES OQ 274-19(2) Support for Residents Impacted by Flooding This letter is in follow up to the Oral Question you raised on June 2, 2020, regarding support for residents impacted by flooding in the Beaufort Delta. I committed to providing an update on the resources available for residents of the Northwest Territories (NWT) in dealing with floods. In the NWT, flood risk is considered to be one of the most destructive natural hazards, second to wildfires. There are nine communities considered flood risk areas; including Hay River, Fort Simpson, Fort Liard, Nahanni Butte, Tulita, Fort Good Hope, Fort McPherson, Aklavik, and Tuktoyaktuk. As part of its mandate, Municipal and Community Affairs (MACA), through the Emergency Management Organization (EMO), works with communities to mitigate, prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies including flooding events. Starting in April each year, the EMO monitors seasonal breakup and high-water conditions across the territory and advises communities of high-risk conditions. MACA Regional staff work with flood risk communities to ensure community awareness and the updating of emergency plans to support community preparedness activities. When flood situations occur, the local emergency plan is enacted, and the EMO activates the community’s NWT Emergency Plan, at the level required to provide the support and resources required. Should the event cause wide spread damage to a community, the Government of the Northwest Territories’ (GNWT) Disaster Assistance Policy may apply to assist the recovery of residents, businesses and the community.

This Implementation Plan is the next step of the Action Plan and will be used by Environment and Natural Resources to implement the actions in cooperation with the Tᰯch Government, Wildlife Management Boards and other stakeholders. In the future, annual status reports will be provided detailing the progress of the actions undertaken and implemented by Environment and Natural Resources. Implementation of these 21 actions will contribute to the national recovery effort for boreal woodland caribou under the federal Species at Risk Act . Implementation of certain actions will be coordinated with Alberta as part of our mutual obligations outlined in the signed Memorandum of Understanding for Cooperation on Managing Shared Boreal Populations of Woodland Caribou. This MOU acknowledges boreal caribou are a species at risk that are shared across jurisdictional lines and require co-operative management. J.

  • Negotiating the Dehcho: Protecting Dene Ahthít’E1 Through Modern Treaty-Making
    TD 541-18(3) TABLED ON AUGUST 22, 2019 Negotiating the Dehcho: Protecting Dene Ahthít’e1 through Modern Treaty-Making *Don Couturier This memo is a high-level summary of my research. It is not a full account of my argument or recommendations. I simply introduce my topic and survey its main points and themes. The full report will be available in October, 2019 through the Gordon Foundation’s Jane Glassco Northern Fellowship website. Please refer to the full report for comprehensive context and recommendation development. Thank you to my mentor, Larry Innes, and my cohort of Fellows—without their support, encouragement, and thoughtful teachings this research would not be possible. Introduction The Dehcho Dene, Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) and Canada must harmonize their competing visions of law and governance through nation-to-nation partnership and treaty federalism. This research modestly describes the positions of each party, identifies areas of mutual understanding, and analyzes potential compromises and opportunities going forward. Three primary sources inform my analysis: the spirit of Treaty 8 and 11; lessons from the success of Edéhzhíe, the first Indigenous Protected Area in the Dehcho region; and Canada’s Principles Respecting the Government of Canada’s Relationship with Indigenous Peoples.2 Background Context Negotiations began in 1999.3 The 21 Common Ground Principles and subsequent Dehcho First Nations Framework Agreement established the overarching goal of recognizing a Dehcho “government based on Dene laws and customs, and other laws agreed to by the parties”.4 The Dehcho First Nations Framework Agreement sets out the guiding principles, objectives, roles, and other negotiating specifics.

    D. Mackenzie Valley Highway Extension D.1 Consultations An initial Stakeholder Workshop was held in Norman Wells on June 8, 1998. The workshop was attended by approximately 60 stakeholders and generated considerable discussion on the need-for, and benefits-of, an all-weather road. A meeting with the Sahtu Secretariat and the Sahtu Regional Land Corporation Presidents was held on November 12, 1998. The group reviewed the Terms of Reference for Environmental Scoping and Benefit Cost Studies. The Terms of Reference were also sent to other stakeholders invited to participate on the Advisory Committee. In December the Department established an Advisory Committee for this project consisting of 25 individuals representing a wide variety of interest groups and organizations. The Department has kept this committee informed of the status of projects, and held a meeting on March 17, 1999 in Norman Wells. A list of the committee members is provided below.
