Premier Doug Ford and Greg Rickford, Minister of Energy, Northern Development and Mines and Minister of Indigenous Affairs, were joined by Chief Bruce Achneepineskum of Marten Falls First Nation and Chief Cornelius Wabasse of Webequie First Nation at the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention today for a signing ceremony. The government is delivering on its promise to move forward with the development of the Ring of Fire with willing partners, including Indigenous groups and Northern communities. After 15 years of delay by the previous government, we said we would build a road to the Ring of Fire, and we are working with our incredible partners in the Marten Falls First Nation and Webequie First Nation to do just that and make sure we do it right said Premier Ford Together, we can bring jobs and prosperity to communities across the Far North. Promises made, promises kept. marks a new partnership between the government, Marten Falls First Nation and Webequie First Nation to advance planning of critical road infrastructure that would provide reliable, all- provincial highway network. government is proud to partner with Marten Falls and Webequie First Nations to support the development of reliable, all-season road infrastructure and move forward with our shared goal of bringing economic prosperity partners, we are creating a clear path forward to unlock unprecedented social and economic The all-season road project would also improve access to health and social services and put in place improved infrastructure, such as high-speed Internet and reliable cellular service, for the First Nations and other communities nearby.

Both First Nations are firm in their resolve to meet all regulatory requirements and fulfil their role as environmental stewards. The use of traditional knowledge will guide business and environmental decision making. Ontario continues to be committed to meeting its duty to consult for all road infrastructure development. Current estimates on the Ring of Fire, located approximately 500 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay and covering about 5,000 square kilometres, suggest multi-generational potential for chromite production, as well as production of nickel, copper and platinum. In October 2019, Ontario announced an investment of $30 million in the Matawa broadband project to provide modern and scalable telecommunication services to five Matawa-member communities: Nibinamik, Neskantaga, Eabametoong, Marten Falls and Webequie First Nations. Modern broadband infrastructure will provide these communities with improved access to social, health, education and training resources as well as support economic development opportunities, including Ring of Fire development. -30- MEDIA CONTACTS ontario.ca/newsroom Disponible en français Ivana Yelich [email protected] Sydney Stonier [email protected] BACKGROUNDER Office of the Premier Moving Forward with Road Access to Ring of Fire BACKGROUNDER March 2, 2020 Map of proposed road infrastructure in the Ring of Fire region: MEDIA CONTACTS ontario.ca/newsroom Disponible en français Ivana Yelich Premier’s Office [email protected] Sydney Stonier Minister’s Office [email protected] D1.2 Letters D1.2.1 Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks Ministry of the Environment, Ministè Conservation and Parks la Protection de la nature et des Parcs Species at Risk Branch Direction des espèces en péril 40 St. Clair Avenue West 40, avenue St. Clair Ouest 14th Floor 14e étage Toronto ON M4V 1M2 Toronto ON M4V 1M2 May 28, 2019 MEMORANDUM TO: Qasim Saddique Project Director Marten Falls Project Team FROM: Nikki Boucher A/Species at Risk Specialist Species at Risk Branch RE: Request for advice regarding Species at Risk criteria for consideration of alternatives for the Marten Falls Supply Road Environmental Assessment As per your request, assembled below you will find information to inform the development of criteria to support the assessment of project alternatives with respect to impacts to species at risk and their protected habitats. Caribou Information and Data Sources Legislative Basis for the Protection of Caribou Endangered Species Act, 2007 (ESA) identifies and provides protection to species at risk (SAR). Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) (Boreal population), is listed as a threatened species on the Species at Risk in Ontario (SARO) List (O.Reg 230/08 under the ESA). As a threatened species, caribou receive both species protection under Section 9 and general habitat protection under Section 10 of the ESA. In Ontario, the majority of caribou are broadly distributed across the boreal forest, with the exception of animals occupying the Lake Superior shoreline and a number of adjacent islands. The continuous distribution of caribou within Ontario is divided into a number of ranges. Ranges serve as the ecological and spatial basis for evaluating 1 caribou population and habitat states and managing cumulative effects at the landscape scale. Caribou depend directly and indirectly on the entire range as habitat. All proposed activities occurring in the continuous and discontinuous distribution of caribou must undergo an assessment to determine if the activity is likely to kill, harm or harass caribou or damage or destroy caribou habitat. Policy Framework for Caribou the recovery of caribou, provides broad policy direction and identifies actions the Ontario government intends to take to conserve and recover caribou in Ontario. to maintain self- sustaining, genetically-connected local populations of Woodland Caribou (forest dwelling boreal population) where they currently exist, improve security and connections among isolated mainland local population, and facilitate the return of caribou to strategic The CCP identifie to plan and make resource management decisions consistent with caribou conservation and prescribes adoption of a Range Management Approach as the primary method that sets the spatial and ecological context for planning and management decisions within an adaptive management framework. The Range Management Policy in Support of Woodland Caribou Conservation and Recovery (Range Management Policy or RMP) provides direction to conserve and recover caribou in Ontario through the development and implementation of a Range Management Approach. The objective of the Range Management Policy is or move towards a suffic The RMP has three principles: Principle 1 Cumulative Disturbance: Ranges will be managed such that the amount of cumulative disturbance remains or moves towards a level that supports a self-sustaining caribou population. Principle 2 Habitat Amount and Arrangement: The amount and arrangement of habitat within a range will be managed consistent with the level that has been estimated to occur in natural landscapes. Principle 3 Sub-range Habitat Features: Within a range, forest composition, pattern and structure will be managed to promote the maintenance of the ecological function of sub-range habitat features for caribou in the context of range condition. Section 6.3 of the Range Management Policy provides direction on integrating range condition into activity review and assessment in the context of species and habitat protection under the ESA, which informs planning and decision-making. 2 The Delineation of Woodland Caribou Range in Ontario documents the delineation of 14 ranges within Continuous Distribution, and the delineation of the Discontinuous Distribution in Ontario. It includes detailed description of the specific range boundaries. The Integrated Assessment Protocol for Woodland Caribou Ranges in Ontario describes the process for conducting an Integrated Range Assessment and the preparation of and Integrated Range Assessment Report. An Integrated Range Assessment Report (IRAR) has been completed for each of the seven southern caribou ranges in the Continuous Distribution (with the exception of the Lake Superior Coast Range) and one report for the six ranges in the Far North of Ontario. These reports document the data, analyses, interpretation and results from each of the Integrated Range Assessments, and document range

  • Cultural Preservation and Self-Determination Through Land Use Planning: a Framework for the Fort Albany First Nation
    CULTURAL PRESERVATION AND SELF-DETERMINATION THROUGH LAND USE PLANNING: A FRAMEWORK FOR THE FORT ALBANY FIRST NATION by DANIEL PAUL MINKIN A thesis submitted to the School of Urban and Regional Planning In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Urban and Regional Planning Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2008 Copyright © Daniel Paul Minkin, 2008 To Ezra who shone in the world briefly and brilliantly while I was writing this. ii ABSTRACT The Fort Albany First Nation (FAFN) in Ontario’s western James Bay region is interested in undertaking a community-based process of land use planning for its traditional territory, in order to respond to increasing resource development pressure within the area. To construct a framework for such a process, semi-structured interviews were held with 12 members of the FAFN and two staff members of the Mushkegowuk Council, which represents the FAFN at the regional level. Interviews focused on the substantive values that community members see as worthy of protection or management through the land use plan, and on the procedural values that ought to guide the process. In addition, three group discussions on valued ecosystem components were observed, to supplement interview data on substantive values. The results indicate that the community is concerned with preserving their way of life in the face of resource development pressure and social change, by protecting subsistence resources and strengthening the transmission of culture. Substantively, this means that the land use plan needs to protect wildlife and its habitat, navigable waterways, and water quality. Procedurally, this means that the planning process should engage the entire community in discussions of its cultural identity and connection to the land, in order to build a genuine consensus on appropriate land uses.
