This Update outlines engagement activity during the period and summarizes the comprehensive information provided and feedback received during the three-month reporting period following the submission of the Application to the National Energy Board (NEB) pursuant to Section 52 of the National Energy Board Act (NEB Act) for the Project. Detailed information on engagement activities conducted to date with each Aboriginal community, group, association, council and tribe can be found in Appendix A of this Part. 1.2 Identification of Aboriginal Communities, Groups, Associations, Councils and Tribes Trans Mountain has taken an open, extensive and thorough Aboriginal engagement approach for the Project along the Project corridor between Strathcona County, Alberta (AB) and Burnaby, British Columbia (BC), as well as the marine corridor. Since filing Consultation Update No. 1 in March, 2014, using a consultation reporting period of January 1, 2014 to April 30, 2014, the consultation set has grown to 120 Aboriginal communities, two non-boundary specific Aboriginal groups, and nine associations, councils and tribes. 1.2.1 Identification of New Communities, Associations, Councils and Tribes As a result of expressing an interest in the Project or Aboriginal interests potentially affected by the Project and receiving Intervener status in April, 2014 by the National Energy Board (NEB), the following communities were added to the Aboriginal consultation list: Aboriginal communities: • Asini Wachi Nehiyawak Traditional Band; • Sucker Creek First Nation; and • Whitefish (Goodfish) First Nation. Additionally, upon a recommendation from the NEB to add Tsuu Tina Nation to the Aboriginal consultation list, Tsuu Tina Nation was added in April, 2014. 1.2.2 Aboriginal Communities, Groups, Associations, Councils and Tribes Trans Mountain has organized its Aboriginal Engagement Program into the following five regions, based on the location of Aboriginal communities along the pipeline corridor: • Edmonton, AB to the Alberta/BC border; • Alberta/BC border to Kamloops, BC; • Kamloops, BC to Hope, BC; • Hope, BC to the Burnaby Terminal-Burrard Inlet, BC; and • Marine transportation corridor from the Burrard Inlet to international waters. Trans Mountain is engaging with 120 Aboriginal communities in proximity to the pipeline corridor and marine transportation corridor (Tables 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3, 1.2.4, 1.2.5, 1.2.6, 1.2.7) that might have an interest in the Project or have Aboriginal interests potentially affected by the Project. As stated in Section 1.2, Trans Mountain is also engaging with two Aboriginal non-land based groups, the BC Metis Federation and the Metis Nation of BC (Table 1.2.5) and nine Aboriginal associations, tribes and councils. This list is intended to be inclusive and Trans Mountain will engage with additional Aboriginal communities, groups, associations, councils and tribes who express an interest in Project engagement.
