  • Request for Initial Comments   FFN members are aware that there will be environmental impacts of the project, and many anticipate that it could affect their land use—especially hunting, fishing, and plant/medicine harvesting. With current TLU documented in proximity of the Project, there is potential for direct and indirect Cumulative project effects on FFN land use because of land disturbance and disruption of land use resources (such as wildlife, plants, fish, and water). Impacts also occur because of increased numbers of non-FFN members in the area and changes to land access (via new land access created by the Project or traffic on roads that impedes FFN land access).     Thank you  Lois Duke

  • My apologies for the delay, Enoch Cree Nation Consultation department has identified a few concerns with this project. Currently, Enoch Cree Nation is faced with many challenges stemming from development in and around our nation; as a result, our nation members have been pushed to harvesting on crown land within our territory (limited, as there is only 2% of crown land intact within our territory boundaries). With this great impact, any and all development drastically impairs our Treaty right to harvest. Additional to this, Enoch Cree Nation is a small nation comprised of approximately 2750 band members with a diminishing land-based culture due to the impacts of colonization & urban sprawl, as well as industrial and residential development surrounding the borders of our nation. Due to this impact, our knowledge holders and elders who have experience on the land is rapidly declining, as well as impacting the transfer of knowledge to our youth to carry on our land-based ...

  • Good day Tony,   Please find below comments on the Initial Project Description (IPD) for the Cando Sturgeon Rail Terminal West Expansion Project. I would also like to thank IAAC for coordinating the virtual information sessions which were useful in better understanding the project.   The Cando Sturgeon Rail Terminal West Expansion Project is situated in St. Albert Métis District 11 which is home to over 5,800 registered Métis Citizens of the Otipemisiwak Métis Government (OMG).   The expansion of the railyard raises several environmental questions about the extent to which it will contribute to habitat fragmentation, air and water pollution, noise and light pollution, soil and water contamination, and how it will impact water resources. Of primary concern is the potential disruption of traditional land use practices, such as hunting, fishing, and berry harvesting, which are integral to ...
