Meetings of this Council are held monthly. couNciL MeMbers Councillor Kris Desjarlais Councillor Jeff Fawcett The BUAPC meets monthly to discuss items of attention with ref - erence to their annual Strategic Plan. In the past year we have seen how the implemented actions from this Council have started to form the needed Aboriginal Economic Strategic Plan. With the assistance of the Aboriginal Community Coordinator the BUAPC have been able to actively engage with the Aboriginal community and hear from the citizens at a grassroots level. The forums and community meetings have been the fuel in iden - tifying the needs and barriers as seen from the Aboriginal com - munity. It is through these outlets that the Aboriginal Community Coordinator has been able to reflect an action plan that has been presented to the BUAPC for review and guidance as the AESP is put in place for the City of Brandon and for the Aboriginal com - munity within. As seen through this document, the actions and items of attention will not only need to be guided by the BUAPC but also by the Aboriginal community. It is through the strategic plan that this Council will be able to keep the administration of the City of Bran - don on board with directives that will benefit both the municipal government and the Aboriginal citizens of Brandon through the following years. 6 Aboriginal Economic Strategic Plan 2015-2018 the steps oF eNGaGeMeNt The Aboriginal Community Coordinator under the direction of BUAPC worked in identifying the barriers to success amongst our Aboriginal community. In looking at the barriers or gaps in services offered to our Aboriginal population accessing the directives to suc - cess; it was determined that we could not only look at the direct re - lationship from a job seeker to an employer but we needed to acknowledge that there was much more needing to be looked at for succession within economic developments – the social factor. The social factor within the support services has helped identify the main reasons why we don’t see economic success within the Aboriginal community and is partly due to other social factors that fit into one’s life setting. As BUAPC engaged the community through a con - Together towards tomorrow – building partnerships for success conference ference consultation titled Together Towards Tomorrow – Building Partnerships for Success, we were able to identify through the attendants’ of the conference that there was much more to the “big picture”. Social standpoints and succession of individuals was often based on the supports that they each had not only in the em - ployment spectrum, but also on the social spectrum of family and essential self needs. The follow up from the conference was leading to community con - sultations based on continuing the engagement of action planning. BUAPC took an integral lead in communicating with the community on the needs to develop supports for youth and to support the ef - forts among other areas including housing, education & training, so - cial developments and building a community working in partnerships.

  • 5 Traditional Land and Resource Use
    CA PDF Page 1 of 92 Energy East Project Part B: Saskatchewan and Manitoba Volume 16: Socio-Economic Effects Assessment Section 5: Traditional Land and Resource Use This section was not updated in 2015, so it contains figures and text descriptions that refer to the October 2014 Project design. However, the analysis of effects is still valid. This TLRU assessment is supported by Volume 25, which contains information gathered through TLRU studies completed by participating Aboriginal groups, oral traditional evidence and TLRU-specific results of Energy East’s aboriginal engagement Program from April 19, 2014 to December 31, 2015. The list of First Nation and Métis communities and organizations engaged and reported on is undergoing constant revision throughout the discussions between Energy East and potentially affected Aboriginal groups. Information provided through these means relates to Project effects and cumulative effects on TLRU, and recommendations for mitigating effects, as identified by participating Aboriginal groups. Volume 25 for Prairies region provides important supporting information for this section; Volume 25 reviews additional TRLU information identifies proposed measures to mitigate potential effects of the Project on TRLU features, activities, or sites identified, as appropriate. The TLRU information provided in Volume 25 reflects Project design changes that occurred in 2015. 5 TRADITIONAL LAND AND RESOURCE USE Traditional land and resource use (TLRU)1 was selected as a valued component (VC) due to the potential for the Project to affect traditional activities, sites and resources identified by Aboriginal communities. Project Aboriginal engagement activities and the review of existing literature (see Appendix 5A.2) confirmed the potential for Project effects on TLRU.

This is followed by a section on the existing ecological environment, which discusses: • Fish habitat and resources; • Vegetation; • Terrestrial invertebrates; • Reptiles; • Amphibians; • Mammals; and • Birds. The socio-economic environment section then provides information on: • Population; • Infrastructure and services; • Employment and economy; • Property and residential development; • Agriculture; • Other commercial resource use; • Recreation and tourism; • Health; 5-1 • Traditional land and resource use; and • Heritage resources.

The generally low relief and soils in the area were formed through retreating glaciers and Lake Agassiz, and are generally very fertile. Relief in the region is primarily as a result of large rivers such as the Assiniboine and its tributaries, which have eroded deep valleys and ravines in some areas.

HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN IN RIGHT OF CANADA As represented by the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development Respondent RESPONSE Pursuant to Rule 42 of the Specific Claims Tribunal Rules ofPractice a11d Procedure This Response is filed under the provisions of the Specific Claims Tribunal Act and the Specific Claims Tribunal Rules ofPractice and Procedure. TO: Gambler First Nation As represented by: Stephen M. Pillipow TheW Law Group Barristers and Solicitors 300-110, 21 51 Street East Saskatoon, SK S7K 086 Telephone: (306) 244-2242 Facsimile: (306) 652-0332 E-mail: spi11ipow@wlaw£roup.com Overview I. The Gambler First Nation, also known as the Gamblers First Nation (the "Claimant") alleges a surrender of a portion of Indian Reserve 63 ("IR 63") in 1898 was improperly done and that there was an unlawful lease or disposition of those reserve lands. The contested surrender in this claim is one of three occurring between 1881 and 1898. They arise in a context of the movement of interrelated or overlapping groups of Treaty 4 signatories between several reserve locations in this period. In respect of the 1898 surrender directly in issue in the present claim, the Claimant claims that the Crown incurred a legal obligation and must now compensate the Claimant for the lands taken. The Crown denies any outstanding lawful obligation is owed to the Claimant. The Crown says that in assessing the claim, the Tribunal will have to consider whether at the material time, the Claimant should be considered to be part of Waywayseecappo First Nation ("Waywayseecappo"), or regarded as a separate band.

    Assiniboine-Birdtail Integrated Watershed Management Plan 2 Assiniboine - Birdtail Integrated Watershed Management Plan A Word from the PMT Chairman Greetings, As the chair of the Assiniboine-Birdtail Watershed Project Management Team, I am pleased to present the first Integrated Watershed Management Plan. It is my hope that this first step may be the beginning of a more thoughtful approach to land use planning. Decisions will address not only the desire to maximize economic profitability, but also the long-term needs and hopes of the broadest segment of this region’s inhabitants, bird, fish and animal as well as human. In this time of climate uncertainty, I am confident that decision makers moving forward will use lessons learned from the past, along with information in the IWMP to guide their decisions, resulting in perpetually sustainable economic activities, and high standards of health and quality of life. My sincere thanks to all who contributed time and knowledge to this project, which would not have come to be without them.
