About Northern and Aboriginal Policy Northern and Aboriginal Policy is an interdisciplinary practice under The Conference Board of Canada’s Public Policy division. It is dedicated to advancing collaborative policy research within strategic areas of concern to Northerners and Aboriginal Peoples. The Northern and Aboriginal Policy team also works directly with clients to develop custom projects that address their particular issues and concerns. Current areas of focus include: • community resilience and community-readiness based strategic planning; • labour market development and entrepreneurship; • infrastructure and major projects development; and • health and wellness. CHAPTER 1 Introduction Chapter Summary • Chapter 1 presents an overview of the socio-economic profile and forecasts presented in this resource. This resource document is intended for readers who would like an in-depth look at the results of The Conference Board of Canada’s briefing, entitled Northwest Territories Labour Market Forecast and Needs Assessment. • The socio-economic profile in chapters 2 and 3 and the forecasts in chapters 4 and 5 are derived from information provided in a series of appendices, B through G. In total there are over 200 charts and over 170 tables. To fully capture the analysis, the reader should follow the data presented in the appendices. Find Conference Board research at www.e-library.ca LaboUR MarKet Information ResoUrce Northwest Territories Labour Market Forecast and Needs Assessment The Northwest Territories (N.W.T.) is opening a new chapter in its history. With the onset of devolution and progress in Aboriginal self- governance, alongside increased global trade and strong national interest in the North and its natural resources, the N.W.T. economy has substantial growth potential. Yet, with increasing socio-economic change and pressures to be more competitive and innovative come an urgent need to boost workforce readiness and skills development. Recognizing these opportunities and challenges, the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) launched Skills 4 Success, an initiative to improve employment success for N.W.T. residents, close skills gaps for in-demand jobs, and develop education and training programs that more effectively respond to employer and industry needs. In 2015, the GNWT engaged The Conference Board of Canada to develop a Labour Market Forecast and Needs Assessment (LMFNA) for the territory as part of the GNWT’s Skills 4 Success Initiative. It has two main objectives. • to help the GNWT and its stakeholders better understand the characteristics of the N.W.T.’s current labour market and resident labour force; • to help the GNWT and its stakeholders anticipate employer hiring needs under current market conditions and reasonable alternative scenarios up to the year 2030. The main findings of the LMFNA are presented in a separate briefing, Northwest Territories Labour Market Forecast and Needs Assessment (www.conferenceboard.ca/e-Library/abstract.aspx?did=7512). This companion resource provides a more detailed analysis of the Find Conference Board research at www.e-library.ca 2 Chapter 1 | The Conference Board of Canada contemporary N.W.T. labour force, along with forecasts of general economic activity and occupational demand in the territory under different scenarios. The first objective of the LMFNA, captured in chapters 2 and 3, is to provide an overview of current and historic labour market characteristics in the Northwest Territories. To this end, Chapter 2 of the resource presents a socio-economic profile of the territorial population and its resident workforce. The profile reviews key demographics, industry activity and occupational classification, and labour supply characteristics. Chapter 3 then focuses in on the state of education and skills attainment in the territory. The profile pays careful attention to the territory’s Northern economic characteristics and to the socio-economic differences between its resident Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal populations. The analysis draws on the 2014 NWT Community Survey,1 and whenever available data allow, it breaks out into regional profiles of the territory’s six census divisions. The second objective of the LMFNA, captured in chapters 4 and 5, is to provide a set of economic forecasts and related occupational demand scenarios for the N.W.T. up to 2030. This work is based on The Conference Board of Canada’s Territorial Forecasting Model. Three separate forecasts (base case, medium case, and high case) and occupational demand scenarios

  • Working Group Report
    Working Group Report Prepared by the Dinàgà Wek’èhodì Candidate Protected Area Working Group March 2016 Dedication This report would not have been possible without the support and vision of protecting Dinàgà Wek’èhodì by many Elders involved with this project. We would like to acknowledge the contributions of Edward Camille, Isadore Willen, Francis Williah, Moise Rabesca, Annie Apples, Dora Migwi, Melanie Lafferty, Jimmy B. Rabesca, Joe Zoe (Gameti), Louis Zoe, Jimmy Kodzin, Joseph Judas, Louis Franki, Michel Louis Rabesca and Charlie Apples. We would like to honour the memories of the late Harry Apples, Harry Mantla, Robert Mackenzie and Joyce Rabesca. This report is dedicated to all their hard work and wisdom towards protecting Dinàgà Wek’èhodì. ii Words from the Elders Elder’s messages on the importance of protecting Dinàgà Wek’èhodì candidate protected area: “We want [the] land protected for animal habitat and to protect burial sites. It’s [a] good hunting and fishing area, there is lots of woodland caribou, moose and fishing. We love the land, elders said in past time to protect the land. Not for the land to be destroyed, and once it’s destroyed, it will be hard to reverse and fix the land. It takes many years before the land heals and to fix the problem.” - Elder Michel Louis Rabesca “The land looks after us. I grew up with traditional food, as young man we lived on the land for long time, lots of good timber. Later, I fought fire on that land surveyed all burnt areas. Used dog team in that area, fished, hunted and trapped in that area.” - Elder Louis Franki “Across from White Beach, at Whǫ̀ sìıwekǫ̀ ǫ̀ (Blackduck Camp) my parents had a cabin, it is all sand, very beautiful, sandy ground (Whagwee) everywhere.

  • 03 Thor Lake Project DAR Description of Local Communities and Socio-Economic Conditions
    May 2011 344 3.0 DESCRIPTION OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDITIONS 3.1 LAND USE Avalon‘s Nechalacho Mine site is located at Thor Lake in the Mackenzie Mining District of the Northwest Territories, within the North Slave Region, about 5 km north of the Hearne Channel of Great Slave Lake and approximately 100 km southeast of the City of Yellowknife (Figure 3.1-1). The proposed TLP has two site components: an underground mine and flotation plant (Nechalacho Mine and Flotation Plant site) at the Thor Lake Property; and a hydrometallurgical plant (Hydrometallurgical Plant site) at the brownfields site of the former Pine Point Mine. The former Pine Point Mine site is located 85 km east of Hay River, NWT and 102 km west of Fort Resolution on the south shore of Great Slave Lake, within the South Slave Region. This area comprises the largest brownfields site in the NWT, estimated at approximately 3,425 ha using digital image analysis, of which approximately 1,771 ha are located within the Hydrometallurgical Plant local study area. The two Project sites are within the Akaitcho Dene asserted traditional territory and are subject to the comprehensive land claim negotiation between the Akaitcho Dene First Nations (Yellowknives Dene First Nation (Dettah), Yellowknives Dene First Nation (N‘Dilo), Lutsel K‘e Dene First Nation, and Deninu Ku‘e First Nation) and the federal government. The Akaitcho Dene First Nations (ADFN), the Government of Canada, and the Government of the Northwest Territories are currently working to achieve a lands, resources and governance agreement (INAC 2007a).
