It was noted that the northern curriculum blended content with the social and cultural heritage of the native peoples and took into account differences between the various regions in determining additions to the basic core courses. Recruiting of teachers was facilitated by the excessive number of applications received. All teachers selected were fully qualified, usually possessed teaching experience, and were adaptable to a variety of environmental conditions. During the school year, several construction projects were completed, adding classroom space, and plans were completed or work was begun on a total of 46 more classrooms throughout the region. In addition, a total of 854 residents participated in vocational education courses. Grants, awards, and scholarships were made available to students, and adult education programs were provided in a wide variety of subjects. The report closes explaining that the educational system is the joint responsibility of the Canadian Federal Government and the Government of the Northwest Territories.

In schools and communities throughout theNorth, Centennial projects flourished. Groups of highschool students made exchange visits with studentsfrom the provinces under the Centennial YouthTravel Pro- gramme; a Centennial library was built at Hay River; Territorial students and adults participatedat the Quebec winter games; the Centennialcaravan visited communities around Great Slave Lakeand the Cen- tennial barge sailed the Mackenzie. From the provinces came a flood ofrequests for Cen- tennial projects centredon the North. A number of organizations awarded scholarships; the generosityof the IODE gave Fort Resolution childrena day trip to visit the Centennial caravan at Hay River;and families in Hillcrest, Ottawa, playedhost for a week to 100 Eskimo children from Frobisher Bay. Inso many ways Centennial events and happenings, for northern children particularly, broadenedhorizons and deepened their sense of identity with therest of Canada. It was the year too, when planswere made to expand Territorial Government services and giveresidents increased autonomy in Territorial affairs. The creation of the Territorial Department of Educationwill mark the beginning of a new stage in the historyof north- ern education. D.W.

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.

  • Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories 2014
    Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories 2014 www.nwtresearch.com This publication is a collaboration between the Aurora Research Institute, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre. Thank you to all who submitted a summary of research or photographs, and helped make this publication possible. Editor: Ashley Mercer Copyright © 2015 ISSN: 1205-3910 Printed by Aurora Research Institute Foreword Welcome to the 2014 Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories. This year marked a special anniversary for the Aurora Research Institute and northern research. Fifty years ago, the Inuvik Research Laboratory was built and has served as a hub for research in the western arctic ever since. The Lab, as it was known, was first built as an initiative of the Canadian federal government in the newly established community of Inuvik. It remains on the same site today, but in 2011, a new modern multi-purpose facility opened to continue to support research in the north. We have included a brief history of the Lab and its impact in this edition of the Compendium to mark its long lasting importance to many researchers and community members. As part of the 50th anniversary celebration, the Aurora Research Institute team undertook a full set of NWT-wide celebrations. We celebrated the history, capacity and growth of research in the NWT that touched all corners of the territory and beyond. We honoured the significant scientific contributions that have taken place in the NWT over the past 50 years, and the role of NWT researchers, technicians and citizens in these accomplishments.

  • Mackenzie Highway Extension, for Structuring EIA Related Field Investigations and for Comparative Assessment of Alternate Routes
    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.

It is expected that the field will restart in October. Enbridge replaced a section of the pipeline that runs under the Mackenzie River near Fort Simpson as a precaution. Construction was completed in August, with testing and final start-up work completed through September. “The Norman Wells operation is restarting after a nearly two-year shutdown,” said Kevin Gant, operations superintendent. “During this time, we worked to maintain the safety and integrity of these facilities. I am very proud of the dedication and hard work by our employees and contractors to achieve this goal.” A community celebration is being planned after the restart to mark this milestone. Over 100 employees and contractors are working at the facility, a return to Wade Charney and Brad Menacho, Northern Development Program trainees from the Sahtu, are supporting the normal levels for day-to-day operations. Imperial has hired three Northern Norman Wells operation. Development Program trainees from the Sahtu to support the operation. “We appreciate the support of the local community and Sahtu groups during this extended shutdown,” said Gant. “During this time, Imperial has maintained community investment and scholarship programs and the return to regular operations will increase local economic benefits, including suppliers and service industries.” National Indigenous Peoples Day Imperial was a proud sponsor of National Indigenous Peoples Day in Norman Wells on June 21.

Department of The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 DE-6 (3/81) ABSTRACT This paper discusses community resistance to the imposition of an external industrial socio-economic system and the destruction of a distinctive land-based way of life. It shows how historically Inuvialuit independence has been eroded by contact with the external economic system and the assimilationist policies of the government. In spite of these pressures, however, the Inuvialuit have struggled to retain their culture and their land-based economy. This thesis shows that hunting and trapping continue to be viable and to contribute significant income, both cash and income- in-kind to the community.
