I sincerely believe that one of the most important things we do at E-Learning is to afford students the opportunity to sometimes discover, devel- op, maintain and nourish their dignity through cultural pride. With dignity comes a profound understanding of destiny.” “The importance of cultural pride and its attending impact on dignity and destiny of the individual student is critical. Having students attend events where there is pride in culture and a sense of belonging encourages them to reach their full potential.

This is our 2nd conference using a virtual platform in this time of change in the energy-sector and during a global pandemic. REDEVELOP brings people together to work across disciplines, distance and cultures. Our collaborators from industry, government and Indigenous communities may have noticed that we rebranded last year, from a focus on the responsible development of low-permeability hydrocarbon resources to that of low-carbon energy resources; an adaptation to change. This week, you will hear from four innovative, multi-university teams of graduate students who will ask you to consider how this next generation of science, engineering and policy leaders will think about energy. Since 2017, we have trained 83 students at the graduate and undergraduate levels.

    Canada’s oil sands and local First Nations: A snapshot Canada’s oil sands and local First Nations: A snapshot “Fort McKay is now a thriving modern community with all the amenities and infrastructure in place to run a modern community due to oil sands development.” – Jim Boucher, Former Chief, Fort McKay First Nation A CEC Research Brief Mark Milke and Lennie Kaplan | March 2020 - 1 - Canada’s oil sands and local First Nations: A snapshot About the Canadian Energy Centre The Canadian Energy Centre’s mandate is to promote Canada as the supplier of choice for the world’s growing demand for responsibly produced energy. It is an independent provincial corporation that is primarily supported by the Government of Alberta’s industry-funded Technology, Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) fund. CEC Research Briefs: A ‘snapshot’ Canadian Energy Centre (CEC) Research Briefs are contextual explanations of data as they relate to Canadian energy. They are statistical ‘snapshots’ and released periodically to provide context on energy issues for investors, policymakers, and the public. The source of profiled data depends on the specific issue, necessary context, and each brief. Sources are given in a manner accessible for a non-academic audience. A note on language and descriptions The data in this Brief are derived from Statistics Canada (2018), Aboriginal Population Profile, 2016 Census. For ease of reference to source data, the term ‘Aboriginal’ is used to correlate with the original Statistics Canada census terms. First Nations is also used to identify both individuals but also communities, i.e., a specific First Nation community such as Fort McKay First Nation.

The Fort McKay First Nation (FMFN) furnishes an important case study of commun- ity capitalism. As a result of its remarkable success, its characteristic features stand out in sharp relief. Its wholly owned and joint-venture business enter- prises generated an annual average of $506 million gross revenue in the five-year period from 2012 to 2016. But FMFN does not just have an impressive business portfolio; it has also succeeded in raising the standard of living of its members, as measured by the Community Well-Being Index. FMFN has achieved prosperity by participating in the economy of the Alberta oil sands, which is important because the best hope for prosperity of many First Nations in remote locations is involvement in nearby resource plays.
