STATEMENT / ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Assessment of Potential Environmental Effects on Traditional Land and Resource Use June 2017 18.0 ASSESSMENT OF POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS ON TRADITIONAL LAND AND RESOURCE USE Traditional land and resource use (TLRU) includes activities related to the harvesting of resources such as hunting, fishing, trapping, gathering plants for food and medicine, areas where teaching or transfer of knowledge regarding cultural practices occur, ceremonial sites, travel routes, and sacred sites. TLRU was selected as a valued component (VC) for assessment because of the potential for the Project to affect traditional activities, sites and resources identified by First Nations and Métis (herein referred to as Aboriginal communities). “Aboriginal”, in the context of this Final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Assessment (EIS/EA) is taken from the usage in section 35 of the Canadian Constitution Act, 1982. Aboriginal community locations in the region are illustrated in Figure 18-1. Métis people live throughout the region including citizens of the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) (“Métis Nation of Ontario - Traditional Knowledge and Land Use Study for the Hardrock Project: Lakehead/Nipigon/Michipicoten Traditional Territories” [MNO TKLU Study; Appendix J3]) and Red Sky Métis Independent Nations (RSMIN; RSMIN 2016). Project-specific traditional knowledge (TK) studies by Aroland First Nation (AFN), Eabametoong First Nation (EFN), Ginoogaming First Nation (GFN), Long Lake #58 First Nation (LLFN), MNO, and Pays Plat First Nation (PPFN), as well as Project consultation activities, land use survey results from LLFN, and existing literature confirmed the potential for Project effects on TLRU. The objective of this chapter is to understand and document Aboriginal people’s TLRU, describe potential Project interactions, identify mitigation strategies, and characterize anticipated Project residual effects.

MFFN is committed to creating and sustaining constructive dialogue and relationships with interested persons including MFFN community membership, neighbouring Indigenous communities, government agencies, the public, industry, non-government organizations, and local and regional stakeholders, to support the environmental, social and economic sustainability of the proposed CAR. To honour the traditional lands that the CAR is proposed to be developed on and to respect MFFN traditional teachings5, the Guiding Principles presented in Figure 10-1 will be followed throughout all Project-related consultation activities and the full EA process; from preparation of the ToR to preparation of the EA and implementation of the CAR.

A hydrologic budget approach was used to assess precipitation, streamflow, baseflow, and potential and actual evapotranspiration in seven major basins in the study area on a monthly, annual and long-term basis. The report is intended to provide basic information that can be used for the wise management of the groundwater resources in the study area. Toronto, July 2002.

    MAMOWENCHIGE ‘WORKING TOGETHER’ October 22-25, 2019 Boozhoo Welcome to the Mamowenchige “Working Together” Conference. This conference has been developed through the G’minoomaadozimin initiative. G’minoomaadozimin means We are Living Well. It is a Health and Safety program that envisions communities where all people are safe whether they are at home, in the workplace or in the community. Over the next four days we will be discussing ideas that improve the health, safety and wellness within our communities. For the first two days, conference presenters will speak on how communities can address lateral violence and harassment as well as the importance of cultural safety at work and for the overall safety for our community members. The final two days will be training for Spirit Builders. Our Spirit Builder Training has become a positive force of traditional values and teachings, knowledge exchange and has brought an awareness forward that can only be described as a healthy and honest conversation. We pride ourselves on the content of the Our Journey Away from Lateral Violence Training Program and look forward to sharing this inspiring knowledge with as many people as possible. Through the Mamowenchige “Working Together” Conference, Nokiiwin hopes to bring forward ideas and best practices from across Canada from an Indigenous perspective that will help everyone to live well in their own way. Thank you for taking the next four days to learn and to share this journey with us. 01 Floor Map Event Rooms Second Floor Balcony Pointe Du Meuron First Floor Room Amethyst Room Catering Admin Washrooms Office Office Elevator Banquet Office Storage Room Elevator Kaministiquia Room Wash Wash Mc Gillivrary room room Kitchen Room Sundeck Rock Garden Café & Bar McKenzie A McKenzie B Fire Balcony 02 Day 1 October 22, 2019 Kamanistiquia Room Amethyst Room Pointe Du Meuron 7:30 a.m.
