Objectif(s): This study is a continuation of baseline studies conducted from 2001 to 2004 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 key components of this study will include collecting existing knowledge, gathering new knowledge and producing a report in a manner that will provide for the specific information needs of the Mackenzie Gas Project. The Mackenzie Project Environment Group will be subcontracting the Katlodeeche First Nation to collect and document traditional knowledge for this project. The Katlodeeche First Nation will determine content to be studied, determine study area boundaries, recommend methods for community participation, identify holders of traditional knowledge, and review maps and reports produced during the study.
Description du projet: The Mackenzie Project Environment Group has sub-contracted the Katlodeeche First Nation, who will be responsible for collecting and documenting traditional knowledge during the project. The study will involve documenting data related to wildlife, birds, fisheries, vegetation, historical/cultural/spiritual sites, climate, soil conditions, hydrology and hydrogeology, human health, cumulative effects and other relevant social, economic and environmental issues. Secondary sources will be used to identify relevant traditional knowledge. If gaps exist in the secondary source information, interviews with holders of traditional knowledge (identified by KFN) will be conducted to fill data gaps. Confidentiality of all interviewees will be maintained and informed consent will be obtained. Data collected will be stored by KFN, MPEG and Imperial Oil Resources. Local researchers and companies will participate in the study. Regular updates and a non-technical report will be provided to community organizations.
