Objectif(s): Imperial Oil Resources Ltd., Aboriginal Pipeline Group, ConocoPhillips Canada (North) Ltd., Shell Canada Limited, and ExxonMobil Canada is continuing a number of baseline studies begun in 2001 as part of the Mackenzie Gas Project. 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. The primary focus of the socio-economic study in the Jean Marie River region is to identify, collect and verify socio-economic baseline information using participatory community driven research methods. The traditional knowledge study will involve gathering documented and new knowledge and producing a report that will provide for the specific information needs of the Mackenzie Gas Project, facilitate meaningful community participation and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements for the use of traditional knowledge in the environmental assessment. This study will proceed under the guidance of a steering committee that includes community representation.
