December 20, 2022 – Indigenous Services Canada has determined that the proposed Caldwell First Nation - Subdivision Development Project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.

The determination was based on a consideration of the following factors:

  • There will be positive impacts on rights of Indigenous peoples, which will result in adequate housing in the community, and;
  • Mitigation measures proposed for the project during construction activities have been prepared and review by Indigenous Services Canada.

Implementation of mitigation measures is required for the project to address:

    • Water quality, including erosion and sediment control;
    • Migratory birds and their habitat; and
    • Species at risk.

Indigenous Services Canada is satisfied that the carrying out of the project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.

Therefore, Indigenous Services Canada may carry out the project, exercise any power, perform any duty or function, or provide financial assistance to enable the project to be carried out in whole or in part.
