APPENDIX B Part 3 Community Baseline Report and EIS Integration Summary Table - Duncan’s First Nation Site C Clean Energy Project Volume 3 Appendix B First Nations Community Baseline Reports Part 3 Community Baseline Report and EIS Integration Summary Table – Duncan’s First Nation 1 1 INTEGRATION OF COMMUNITY BASELINE REPORT 2 INTO EIS: SUMMARY REVIEW TABLE – DUNCAN’S 3 FIRST NATION 4 Duncan’s First Nation prepared the “First Nations Community Baseline Profile: Duncan’s 5 First Nation” for inclusion in the Site C Clean Energy Project (the Project) Environmental 6 Impact Statement (EIS). The report is presented in its entirety in this Appendix. A 7 Summary Review Table (Table 1) was prepared to specify where in the Duncan’s First 8 Nation Community Baseline report certain topical information is located, and where this 9 information was considered within the EIS. 10 The information in Table 1 is presented by baseline information category (e.g., 11 Traditional Use of Lands and Resources, Community Demographics, Services and 12 Infrastructure, Economics, Community Health, and Non-Traditional Use of Lands). 13 Where Duncan’s First Nation reserves are not included in the spatial boundaries of a 14 VC, and where Duncan’s First Nation has not identified an interest or concern with the 15 Project in relation to a particular VC, the information from the baseline report is not 16 linked to a VC in Table 1. Where Duncan’s First Nation has identified an interest or a 17 concern regarding a particular VC, but where Duncan’s First Nation’s reserves are not 18 included in the VC spatial boundaries, the interest is discussed in Volume 5 Section 34 19 Asserted or Established Aboriginal and Treaty Rights, Aboriginal Interests and 20 Information Requirements, as identified in Table 1. For example, Duncan’s First Nation 21 identified interests and concerns regarding Project procurement. As the Local 22 Assessment Area for the Economics VCs (Labour Market and Regional Economic 23 Development) does not extend into Alberta, Duncan’s First Nation’s interest in 24 procurement is discussed in Volume 5 Section 34 Asserted or Established Aboriginal 25 and Treaty Rights, Aboriginal Interests and Information Requirements. 26 While the baseline profile focuses on social, cultural and economic information, to the 27 extent that the baseline mentions concern with other VCs (e.g. environmental), this is 28 captured in Table 1.and the Duncan’s First Nation community baseline report were 29 shared with environmental, social, economic, land use and health Technical Leads to 30 guide them to relevant sections of the baseline report for review and consideration in 31 their VC, as appropriate.

The Project will be subject to environmental review pursuant to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act and BC Environmental Assessment Act and its scope and range of potential effects will trigger consultation and accommodation duties of the Crown pursuant to common and constitutional law principles and directives. The Duncan‟s First Nation (DFN) has prepared this “Community Baseline Profile” to facilitate the assessment of the Project‟s potential socio–economic effects and impacts on the DFN community. The DFN is a host community with the Project falling within lands historically and currently utilized by the DFN community.
