Objectif(s): Imperial Oil Resources, CONOCO Canada Resources Limited, Shell Canada Limited, and ExxonMobil Canada initiated a number of Baseline Studies during 2001 as part of a feasibility study for the Mackenzie Delta Gas Opportunity. These studies are being continued in 2002. Local knowledge and technical/scientific research, in combination with a synthesis of existing technical information, is being used to develop a suitable knowledge base for planning, assessment of impacts and development of environmental protection plans. TERA Environmental Consultants (TERA), in association with Kavik-AXYS Environmental Consulting Ltd., AMEC Earth & Environmental Ltd., and Golder Associates Ltd., has been retained to conduct the baseline studies. The proposed project will consist of socio-economic studies to be conducted in 2002 in the Deh Cho Region. The primary focus of these studies will be to identify, collect, and verify existing socio-economic baseline information. Traditional knowledge, including information on the local/regional wage and subsistence economies, population, labour force, community facilities, services, accommodation, infrastructure, community health and wellness, and social indicator data will be gathered and validated through participative, community driven research methods.
