  • TITLE: Cameco Corporation: Uranium Mining and Aboriginal Development in Saskatchewan[1]
    This case was written by Saleem H. Ali for the purpose of entering the 2000 Aboriginal Management Case Writing Competition. TITLE: Cameco Corporation: Uranium Mining and Aboriginal Development in Saskatchewan[1] The Setting The topic of Bernard Michel's speech was general in nature, yet quite specific in substance: "Corporate Citizenship and the Saskatchewan Uranium Industry." He had been invited by the Uranium Institute in London, UK to share his company's experiences in negotiating agreements with Native communities in Northern Saskatchewan. As the President and Chief Executive Officer of Cameco, the world's largest uranium mining company, his speech was much anticipated by the audience. The Uranium mines of Saskatchewan are an interesting laboratory for the study of corporate community relations......The community relations programme's first action was to listen through public hearings to the communities' expressed concerns.......Today 80% of Saskatchewan's residents, compared with 65% in 1990, support continued uranium mining. This reflects the industry's community relations initiative. Cameco's shares also trade at 3.5 times their 1991 issue price. Only a small segment of anti-nuclear activists takes a negative view. Relationships with local communities, like uranium ore, are a valuable resource needing competent development.[2] Originally from France, and a graduate of the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris, Michel, had spent the past two decades in Canada working for various mining interests. Having served as Senior Vice President, Executive Vice President and President for a subsidiary of the French nuclear conglomerate Cogema, Amok Ltd, Michel had eminent credentials to join Cameco in 1988.

  • Razing Athabasca: Bitumen Extraction and the Industrial Colonization Of
    Razing Athabasca: Bitumen Extraction and the Industrial Colonization of North-eastern Alberta, 1967-1983 by © Hereward Longley A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of History Memorial University ofNewfoundland March 2013 St. John's Newfoundland ETHICS The oral history component of this project has been reviewed by the Interdisciplinary Committee on Ethics in Human Research at Memorial University of Newfoundland and granted approval in accordance with the Tri-Council Policy Statement on Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans. ICEHR number 20 12-311-AR. ABSTRACT This thesis shows that oil price increases and supply threats associated with the Cold War and the OPEC Crisis caused the Alberta and Canadian governments to prioritize the development of the oil sands industry. By taking equity in the Syncrude project the Alberta government emerged with conflicting mandates as both developer and regulator of the resource. By the mid 1970s, the Alberta government' s position produced a policy dynamic that contributed to the marginalization of government concern for the environmental impacts of oil sands development. Oil sands development physically colonized Indigenous land and had significant adverse environmental impacts on proximate ecosystems. The degradation of natural resources relied on by fndigenous peoples made affected communities increasingly desperate for employment in the oil sands economy from which they were largely excluded. Indigenous peoples were forced to fight for environmental protection and employment in the industry. II ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would not exist were it not for the excellence and dedication of my supervisor, and principal investigator of the SSHRC funded project Abandoned Mines in Northern Canada, Dr John Sandlos.
