  • Detour Lake Power Project; DLPP)
    1.0 Introduction and Purpose of Undertaking The DLPP proposes to re-connect the Detour Lake site to the provincial electrical grid. 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE OF UNDERTAKING 1.1 Introduction Detour Gold Corporation (Detour Gold) has been exploring the previously developed Detour Lake mineral property since 2007. The Detour Lake property is located approximately 185 kilometres (km; by road) northeast of Cochrane in northern Ontario (Figure 1-1). The Detour Lake deposit was discovered in 1974 and was operated by another mining company from 1983 to 1999. Power was provided to this mine by a 115 kilovolt (kV) transmission line connection to the Ontario electrical grid at Island Falls. Detour Gold proposes to construct, operate and eventually close a new open pit gold mine, the Detour Lake Project at the site. Detour Gold has completed a positive pre-feasibility engineering study for the Detour Lake Project and is nearing completion of a feasibility study. Engineering work to date indicates that the Detour Lake Project will require approximately 120 megawatts (MW) of power for construction and operation. The Detour Lake site is no longer connected to the electrical grid and activities are constrained by the current availability at site of less than 1 MW of diesel generating power. A dependable power supply is required to construct and operate the proposed open pit gold mine. 1.2 Purpose of the Undertaking Detour Gold is proposing to re-connect the Detour Lake site with the Ontario electrical grid (the Detour Lake Power Project; DLPP). Detour Gold is not in the business of power generation or power transmittal and the transmission line is intended solely to meet the needs of the proposed mine.

  • Targeted Residential Fire Risk Reduction a Summary of At-Risk Aboriginal Areas in Canada
    Targeted Residential Fire Risk Reduction A Summary of At-Risk Aboriginal Areas in Canada Len Garis, Sarah Hughan, Paul Maxim, and Alex Tyakoff October 2016 Executive Summary Despite the steady reduction in rates of fire that have been witnessed in Canada in recent years, ongoing research has demonstrated that there continue to be striking inequalities in the way in which fire risk is distributed through society. It is well-established that residential dwelling fires are not distributed evenly through society, but that certain sectors in Canada experience disproportionate numbers of incidents. Oftentimes, it is the most vulnerable segments of society who face the greatest risk of fire and can least afford the personal and property damage it incurs. Fire risks are accentuated when property owners or occupiers fail to install and maintain fire and life safety devices such smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in their homes. These life saving devices are proven to be highly effective, inexpensive to obtain and, in most cases, Canadian fire services will install them for free. A key component of driving down residential fire rates in Canadian cities, towns, hamlets and villages is the identification of communities where fire risk is greatest. Using the internationally recognized Home Safe methodology described in this study, the following Aboriginal and Non- Aboriginal communities in provinces and territories across Canada are determined to be at heightened risk of residential fire. These communities would benefit from a targeted smoke alarm give-away program and public education campaign to reduce the risk of residential fires and ensure the safety and well-being of all Canadian citizens.

  • The K-Net Broadband Governance Model: Intersecting Views from Government, Community, and Industry
    The Kuh-Ke-Nah broadband governance model: How social enterprise shaped internet services to accommodate indigenous community ownership in Northwestern Ontario, Canada (circa 1997 to 2007) by Adam Paul Fiser A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto© Copyright by Adam Paul Fiser 2010 The Kuh-Ke-Nah broadband governance model Adam Paul Fiser Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2010 Abstract This thesis articulates how the Kuh-Ke-Nah network (K-Net) shaped broadband development in remote indigenous communities. K-Net operates under the not-for-profit stewardship of Keewaytinook Okimanak (KO) Tribal Council. Located in Northwestern Ontario, KO brought K-Net to life amongst its six member First Nations in the mid 1990s. As K-Net evolved and expanded its membership, KO established a governance model that devolves network ownership and control to community networks in partner First Nations. This governance model reflects KO’s use of social enterprise to organize K-Net’s community-based broadband deployment amidst necessary partnerships with government programs and industry players. K-Net’s social enterprise has rapidly grown since 1997, when its core constituents fought for basic telephone service and internet access in Northern Ontario. In the space of less than a decade, K-Net communities have gone from a situation in which it was common for there to be but a single public payphone in a settlement, to a point where over thirty now have broadband internet services to households. Technologies now under K-Net control include a C-Band satellite transponder, IP videoconferencing and telephony, web and email server space, and a variety of terrestrial and wireless links that effectively connect small, scattered First Nations communities to each other and the wider world.
