2.0 DESIGN AND SCOPE

The Aboriginal engagement program was developed and is continuously adapted according to the nature, location and potential effects of the Project, and the interests and concerns of First Nation and Métis communities and organizations. While the underlying principles remain the same, the purpose, scope and degree of engagement vary according to the potential for effects and interests of each Aboriginal group.

Factors that influenced the Aboriginal engagement program design include the:  Project components  geographic location of the Project  First Nation and Métis communities and organizations that could potentially be affected by or interested in the Project

The Aboriginal engagement program respects and, to the extent practicable, follows the traditions and protocols specific to each Aboriginal group. Although Energy East typically engages with First Nation and Métis communities individually, some Aboriginal groups prefer to be represented by a tribal council1 or a provincial-territorial organization.2 When directed to do so, Energy East communicates directly with the identified organization.

The Aboriginal engagement program is designed to provide First Nation and Métis communities and organizations with opportunities to:  provide information relevant to the Project  receive and discuss Project information  ask questions and request more detailed information in areas of interest  identify and communicate interests and concerns

Energy East works collaboratively with First Nation and Métis communities and organizations to address Project-related concerns through Project design or operational changes where practicable, and provides information on how their input influenced Project design changes. Energy East discusses with First Nation and Métis communities and organizations proposed measures to avoid, mitigate, or otherwise manage potential effects of the Project.

1 Tribal Council is defined as: A group of with common interests who have voluntarily joined together to provide services to member First Nations.

2.1 SCOPE

Spanning six provinces, the Project is a substantial undertaking. Numerous First Nation and Métis communities and organizations have expressed an interest and a desire to learn more about the Project’s scope, routing, facilities and potential environmental and socio-economic effects. The Aboriginal engagement program is designed to foster productive dialogue and exchange of information with the communities and organizations with an interest in the Project.

While many of the engagement activities are similar in the different provinces and overall Project information is consistent, specific regional information is provided to each First Nation and Métis community and organization describing the applicable Project components – either conversion, or new pipeline and associated facilities. Newsletters, email messages, materials, displays and open house materials are provided in English or French, depending on preferences.

2.2 INITIAL DETERMINATION OF POTENTIALLY INTERESTED ABORIGINAL GROUPS

To identify an initial list of First Nation and Métis communities, Energy East conducted desktop research to assess the proximity of the Project area to:  reserves under the Indian Act, Métis settlements or Métis communities  lands publicly identified as or associated with treaties, treaty land entitlement (TLE), comprehensive or specific claims, or other lands to which a First Nation seeks reserve designation under the Policy on Additions to Reserve and Reserve Creation3  areas previously identified by First Nation and Métis communities or organizations as lands used by their members for traditional activities such as hunting, fishing or harvesting activities, or potential areas of sacred and spiritual importance

Energy East also identified the Métis regional boundaries of the areas crossed by the pipeline.

Further research was completed by reviewing publicly available reference materials, and federal and provincial government maps, and discussing the preliminary findings with TransCanada’s experienced and established network of regional contacts.

The Project crosses a number of treaty territories from Alberta to eastern Canada, and Assiniboine 76 (Carry The Kettle First Nation) in along

the conversion segment. The Project also crosses a number of Métis regions throughout the country.

Energy East identified First Nation and Métis communities located in an approximate 200 km zone and organizations with an interest in the 200 km zone along the Project (see Figure 2-1). First Nation and Métis communities within 50 km of either side of the Project (or 100 km zone) were identified as potentially affected communities. The process of identification and organization of neighbouring, proximate and notified First Nation and Métis communities and organizations is ongoing and will continue throughout the Project. The following sections outline the rationale and criteria for initial identification of First Nation and Métis communities and organizations.

2.2.1 Neighbouring Aboriginal Groups

Neighbouring First Nation and Métis communities are defined as communities located within 25 km of either side of the Project (or 50 km zone). This zone includes First Nations reserves, TLE lands, and where known, asserted traditional territories, geographically located in the 50 km zone. Métis regions crossed by the Project were included in this category.

Some First Nations and Métis communities and organizations geographically outside the 50 km zone were classified as neighbouring Aboriginal groups because they have asserted traditional territories or established interests in the 50 km zone. Some neighbouring Aboriginal groups on the outer limits of the 50 km zone could be reclassified as proximate Aboriginal groups, depending on the anticipated extent of Project-related effects and known areas of exercise of rights and interests.

Neighbouring Aboriginal groups are actively engaged by Energy East regarding the Project. Project representatives strive to meet face-to-face with these Aboriginal groups frequently (and on request) and closely monitor, track and respond to their requests, questions, comments, interests and concerns.

Regular Project update presentations to Chief and Council or the relevant governing body of the Aboriginal group include one-on-one, face-to-face meetings with designated representatives and community meetings.

Neighbouring Aboriginal groups have received and will continue to receive Project information packages and materials, and have been and will be offered resources to support their participation in the engagement process, including the opportunity to gather traditional knowledge.

2.2.2 Proximate Aboriginal Groups

Proximate First Nation and Métis communities are defined as communities or organizations located beyond the 25 km distance from the Project to an approximate distance of 50 km on either side of the Project (or 100 km zone). These First Nation and Métis communities are not in the neighbouring zone, subject to potential reclassification as a neighbouring Aboriginal group.

This Aboriginal engagement zone includes:  Aboriginal groups with First Nation reserves, TLE lands, Métis communities, asserted traditional territories and treaty lands in the 100 km zone  organizations, agencies and delegated engagement authorities with established Aboriginal interests in the 100 km zone

The engagement approach with proximate Aboriginal groups is generally consistent with neighbouring Aboriginal groups during early stages. Proximate Aboriginal

groups are actively engaged, and Project representatives strive to meet face-to-face with these groups frequently (and on request) and closely monitor, track and respond to their requests, questions, comments, interests and concerns.

Regular Project update presentations to Chief and Council or the relevant governing body of the Aboriginal group include one-on-one, face-to-face meetings with designated representatives, and community meetings. These Aboriginal groups have received and will continue to receive Project information packages and materials, and have been and will be offered resources to support their participation in the engagement process.

2.2.3 Notified Aboriginal Groups

Notified Aboriginal groups are defined as communities or organizations not likely to be affected by the Project by virtue of their distance from the pipeline or the absence of known interest in the Project area. Geographically, these Aboriginal groups are located beyond 50 km from the Project to an approximate distance of 100 km from either side of the Project (or 200 km zone). These Aboriginal groups are not in the neighbouring or proximate zones.

This Aboriginal engagement zone includes:  Aboriginal groups with First Nation reserves, TLE lands, Métis communities, asserted traditional territories, in the 200 km zone  organizations, agencies and delegated engagement authorities with established Aboriginal interests in the 200 km zone  provincial, political or treaty organizations that might be affected by or have an interest in other TransCanada assets, projects or operations

Notified Aboriginal groups have received and will continue to receive Project information, as requested. At the outset and on occasion, as determined appropriate, these Aboriginal groups are contacted by telephone or email to confirm that they are aware of the Project or Project developments and milestones, and to determine if they have questions or concerns. Contact with these Aboriginal groups is tracked, although these Aboriginal groups are not monitored as intensively as neighbouring or proximate Aboriginal groups.

After the initial identification phase, some Aboriginal groups were subsequently added as notified Aboriginal groups as they self-identified, or in response to Project route and scope changes. The process of identification and classification of neighbouring, proximate and notified Aboriginal groups is ongoing and will continue throughout the Project.

2.3 CONFIRMATION OF ABORIGINAL GROUPS FOR ENGAGEMENT

The initial determination of potentially affected Aboriginal groups resulted in the identification of 198 neighbouring, proximate and notified First Nation and Métis communities and organizations. That initial list was used to confirm potential interest in the Project.

Throughout March 2013, Energy East contacted First Nation and Métis leaders and representative organizations in person, by telephone and by email to respectfully inform them of the upcoming announcement of the open season process, to introduce the Project team, exchange contact information and confirm their interest in the Project. This process helped validate and update the initial list of contacts and Aboriginal groups.

In August 2013, Energy East sent a letter, which included the initial list of First Nation and Métis communities and organizations and a map, to key organizations and government departments, including:  Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada  Major Projects Management Office (MPMO) through Natural Resources Canada (NRCan)  Alberta Ministry of Aboriginal Relations  Saskatchewan Minister responsible for First Nations, Métis and Northern Affairs  Department of Aboriginal and Northern Affairs  Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs  Québec Secrétariat aux Affaires Autochtones  New Brunswick Minister responsible for Aboriginal Affairs

Contact was made primarily with departments and agencies responsible for matters pertaining to Crown consultation, environment, land and economic development. Some federal and provincial agencies provided general resources to assist in the research and determination process. This further identification process was intended to:  provide the Project team with updated information about Aboriginal groups that might be affected by, or have an interest in, the Project  seek guidance on the accuracy of the initial list of Aboriginal groups identified as potentially affected by or interested in the Project  help identify other Aboriginal groups potentially affected by or interested in the Project

Throughout the pre-application phase, Energy East continued to make changes to the initial engagement list and refine the Project corridor. Following a route and scope

Energy East Pipeline Ltd. Consolidated Application Section 2 Volume 10: Aboriginal Engagement Design and Scope

change in Québec, in December 2013, the Project identified four additional First Nations in Québec and added them to the initial engagement list.4

Following Energy East’s submission of the Project Description to the NEB in March 2014, NRCan reviewed the list of Aboriginal groups and provided input and guidance to assist Project engagement efforts. In accordance with the Crown’s assessment protocols, 70 additional First Nation and Métis communities and organizations were identified as potentially having Project-related interests.

Energy East reviewed each additional First Nation and Métis community and organization and, as per the initial determination process outlined in Section 2.2, found that many of these additions were properly identified as notified Aboriginal groups.

In accordance with the engagement protocol for notified Aboriginal groups, Energy East sent a letter in June 2014 to each of the 70 First Nation and Métis communities and organizations to notify them that NRCan, through the MPMO, had issued a list of First Nation and Métis communities and organizations, which included a number of communities and organizations not included in Energy East’s initial notification and engagement program (see Appendix 10-158: June 2014 Project Description Letter).

The letter included a copy of the Project Description and a link to the NEB website for more information. It also requested that recipients respond within 21 days if they wanted to learn more about the Project or to present information that would show potential for effects that would warrant further engagement. Two Aboriginal groups in Ontario and one community in Saskatchewan were identified for engagement through this process. For further details regarding confirmation of Aboriginal groups for engagement during the period from April 19, 2014 to December 31, 2015, see section 2.3.1.

Energy East is collaboratively working with many communities and organizations in relation to the Application. A few have refused to engage with Energy East on the basis that they oppose oil pipelines in principle or believe that consultation is exclusively a Crown duty that cannot be delegated to the proponent. Some identified communities have not yet indicated if they wish to be engaged by the Project.

Energy East will continue to provide information and outreach to those communities and organizations that have not responded to Energy East’s engagement efforts until notified that contact is not necessary.

4 The additional communities identified in December 2013 were Mi’gmawei Mawiomi Secretariat, La Nation Micmac de Gespeg, Listuguj Mi'gmaq Government, Micmacs of Gesgapegiag.

2.3.1 Communities and Organizations Identified for Engagement — Update

The following Aboriginal groups were identified for engagement from April 2014 to December 2015.

2.3.1.1 Saskatchewan

Poundmaker Nation was included on the June 2014 list of potentially affected Aboriginal communities received by Energy East from the Major Projects Management Office (MPMO) of Natural Resources Canada. was contacted by Energy East in accordance with the MPMO notification process but had not requested further engagement with Energy East on the Project at the time. At the request of the community, Energy East resumed engagement with Poundmaker Cree Nation in November of 2014. Poundmaker Cree Nation has been identified as a proximate community on the Project based on the community’s proximity to the Project.

2.3.1.2 Manitoba

Keeseekoowenin First Nation had been engaged by Energy East on the Project since April 2013. During the last quarter of 2014, Keeseekoowenin First Nation notified Energy East of its preference to continue engagement through Anishinaabe Agowidiiwinan Territory.5

2.3.1.3 Ontario

Based on the responses received to the June 2014 MPMO notification letter, both Dokis First Nation and Wahnapitae First Nation were identified as proximate communities.

In late August 2014, Antoine First Nation and Algonquins of Greater Golden Lake First Nation, initially engaged on the Project through the Algonquins of Ontario Consultation Office (ACO), notified Energy East of their intent and decision to be engaged on the Project directly, and outside of the ACO.

Prior to the last quarter of 2014, Aroland First Nation, Constance Lake First Nation and Ginoogaming First Nation were working collectively through Matawa First Nations Tribal Council for both engagement and administrative purposes. Since that time, Energy East was advised by these three First Nations, that they are engaging on the Project collectively through an independent consultant. Energy East will refer to these three communities collectively as the “Aroland, Constance Lake, and Ginoogaming First Nations Collective”.

2.3.1.4 New Brunswick

In the last quarter of 2014, Energy East began direct engagement with Tobique First Nation at its express request, outside of the Assembly of First Nations’ Chiefs of New Brunswick (AFNCNB) collective. Energy East also became aware of potential changes to the representation of both Oromocto First Nation in the second quarter of 2015 and Kingsclear First Nation in the third quarter of 2015, by the Assembly of First Nations’ Chiefs of New Brunswick. Also in late 2015, Energy East was advised that the AFNCNB would operate under the name of Mi’gmawe’l Tplu’taqnn Incorporated (MTI) beginning November 2015. For the purposes of the Consolidated Application, the Assembly will be referred to as the “AFNCNB”. Any future engagement updates will refer to this organization as “MTI”.

2.3.1.5 Nova Scotia

Based on the responses received from the June 2014 MPMO notification letter, four communities in Nova Scotia were identified as proximate communities. Energy East began engaging with four proximate communities (Acadia First Nation, Annapolis Valley First Nation, Glooscap First Nation, and Bear River First Nations) in accordance with the Mi’kmaq Rights Initiative on behalf of the Mi’kmaq of Nova Scotia.

2.4 ABORIGINAL GROUPS IDENTIFIED FOR ENGAGEMENT

2.5 ENGAGEMENT PROCESS

The Aboriginal engagement program is iterative and is employed throughout the duration of the Project.

The iterative process consists of these elements:  sharing Project information  gathering input, offering resources and establishing agreements to support the engagement process  identifying opportunities and developing programs to support project-related benefits or community-based initiatives  responding to comments and questions  identifying concerns and developing measures to avoid, mitigate or otherwise manage potential effects

The intent of the iterative engagement process is to:  determine and refine the scope of the engagement process and provide opportunities for information exchange  support engagement with identified communities and organizations by providing capacity funding for engagement activities so that their leadership and members can understand the Project, share information about their concerns with the Project and how it might affect them  develop communication methods to seek and consider comments about the proposed pipeline corridor and associated facility sites, potential environmental and socio-economic effects, and other areas of potential concern  support efforts to gather and document traditional knowledge (TK) information on current use of land, water and resources by First Nation and Métis communities and organizations  review and discuss the results of the TK or other community-based studies  gather information on community interests to identify capacity development or community investment opportunities  develop strategies for contracting and employment, and other economic opportunities  document and record Project-related issues according to potential effects  report back to First Nation and Métis communities and organizations with updated Project information as it becomes available and as questions and concerns can be answered or addressed

 provide information and updates to First Nation and Métis communities and organizations to ensure understanding and support for proposed mitigation  where possible, seek to resolve Project-related issues through Project design or operational changes  address outstanding interests, issues or concerns through regulatory hearing proceedings or other means

2.6 PARTICIPATION IN THE NEB PROCESS

Information about Energy East’s intent to file an NEB application and the regulatory process is contained in the Project engagement materials, including letters, information packages, newsletters and website pages. The NEB pamphlet, A Proposed Pipeline or Powerline Project: What You Need to Know, was provided to Aboriginal groups in initial mailouts and at open houses in 2013.

Additional materials were provided in 2014 and 2016. The NEB brochure Information for Proposed Pipeline or Power Line Projects That Involve a Hearing is being provided at open houses, and has been and will be distributed on request. As well, three NEB videos were shown at the 2014 open houses. The NEB sent notification letters to Aboriginal groups in May 2014 to inform recipients that the Project Description had been filed on March 4, 2014, and information about the NEB regulatory process continues to be included in newsletters and website pages.

Energy East will ensure that all Aboriginal groups and communities identified for engagement on the Project are provided with the NEB brochure, Information for Proposed Pipeline or Power Line Projects That Involve a Hearing in the first and second quarter of 2016.

Between November and December 2015, the NEB held Oral Traditional Evidence hearings for Energy East in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. Sunchild First Nation, , and participated in these hearings and presented oral traditional evidence.7

2.7 ABORIGINAL ENGAGEMENT TEAM

For the Project, the Energy East Aboriginal engagement team facilitates engagement with First Nation and Métis communities and organizations from initial engagement

7 Energy East notes that Sunchild First Nation and Keeseekoose First Nation were not identified by the Project for engagement. While no engagement occurred with these communities prior to December 31, 2015, Energy East is working towards further understanding the nature of interests brought forward by these communities. While Energy East has not engaged Seine River First Nation on an individual basis, the community has been engaged on the Project through Grand Council Treaty #3 since April 2013.

and logistics, to assisting with field work activities, reviewing and summarizing collected data, consultation on compiled data, completion of summary reports, reviewing reports for inclusion in the environmental assessment and review, finalization and submission of the environmental assessment. This team is supported by TransCanada’s broader corporate structure, long history of engagement with First Nations and Métis communities and organizations, and gathering and incorporating project-specific TK in project design and environmental and socio- economic assessments.

The Energy East Aboriginal engagement team is organized by region – Prairies (consisting of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba); (conversion); southern Ontario (new pipeline); Québec; and New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The regional teams are assigned to conduct engagement on Energy East’s behalf, to build and enhance relationships, to provide information, to agree on a number of engagement activities, including project-related TK activities and capacity funding to conduct them, and generally to receive and address comments and concerns expressed by First Nation and Métis communities and organizations in the respective regions.

Regional teams are responsible for information gathering, coordinating community TK studies and facilitating discussions related to Project information, potential economic opportunities and measures to avoid, mitigate or otherwise manage potential effects.
