Temporal trend studies of trace metals and halogenated organic contaminants (HOCs) including new and emerging persistent compounds, in Mackenzie River burbot, Fort Good Hope, NWT (2024-2025)
Principal Investigator: Stern, Gary
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5906. Short-term goals are to determine if burbot contaminant concentrations: • Are above or below Health Canada guidelines (i.e. <0.5 ppm mercury per gram fish). Annual data will be provided to NWT Health and Social Services for evaluation; • Are associated with dietary indicators, i.e. stable isotope ratio data (15N, 1...


Community-based Bird Harvesting Workshops in the Sahtu for PFAS analysis
Principal Investigator: Laird, Brian D
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5530. to evaluate the current PFAS level in birds harvested in the Sahtu region, and to estimate the human exposure patterns to PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) through game bird consumption. 1) The research team will do a series of community-based bird-harvesting workshops to build local capacity and facilitat...

Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5414. The short-term goals are to determine if burbot contaminant concentrations: 1) Remain below Health Canada guidelines (i.e. <0.5 ppm mercury per gram fish). The research will provide annual data to NWT Health and Social Services for evaluation; 2) Are associated with dietary indicators, i.e. stable isotope ratio data (...


Hydrogeological investigation of the treatment performance of subsurface wastewater treatment systems in the NWT
Principal Investigator: Jamieson, Rob
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5413. The overall objective of this study is improved understanding of wastewater effluent transport within permafrost environments in the NWT. The proposed study aims to answer the following questions: 1) What is the potential for contamination of groundwater and receiving waters through active layer transport of effluent...


Contaminants (PAHs, mercury) in the Mackenzie River and fish health assessments: implementation of classic and new molecular screening tools for environmental monitoring and stressor assessment
Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5333. This study will determine the concentrations of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in small-bodied fish in the Norman Wells/Imperial area near nature oil seeps and industrial activities with comparisons to be made with upstream (Tulita area) and downstream (Fort Good Hope) areas. The research team will also asses...


Hydrocarbon-derived compounds (anthropogenic and natural) in water bodies in the Sahtú
Principal Investigator: Gurney, Kirsty E.
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5262. The research team are proposing to work with community partners to collect samples and analyze data describing concentrations of Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds (PAC’s) in the Mackenzie River and in other water bodies, along a gradient of environmental disturbance. Specifically, the program will evaluate the relative co...


Investigating Lead Exposure in the Sahtú region
Principal Investigator: Skinner, Kelly
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5204. This project proposes to continue investigating the determinants of lead exposure in humans and to assess health risk in the Sahtú region. This project will provide knowledge on potential strategies to reduce the lead exposures in Dene and Métis communities. The research team propose to: 1) Implement the previously...


Temporal trend studies of trace metals and halogenated organic contaminants (HOCs), including new and emerging persistent compounds, in Mackenzie River burbot, Fort Good Hope, NWT.
Principal Investigator: Stern, Gary
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5111. The short-term goals are to determine if 2020, 2021 and 2022 burbot contaminant concentrations: a) remain below Health Canada guidelines (i.e. <0.5 ppm mercury per gram fish). The research team will provide annual data to NWT Heath and Social Services for evaluation; b) are associated with dietary indicators, i.e. sta...


Spatial and long-term trends in persistent organic contaminants and metals in fish from the Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5031. The study is continuing to investigate whether contaminant levels are changing in fish in the Northwest Territories with a focus on Great Slave Lake which we have been studying since the early 1990s. The research team plans to collect lake trout from Great Slave Lake (Hay River area and Lutsel K’e area and also plans ...


Pilot study: Investigating Lead Exposure in the Sahtú region
Principal Investigator: Skinner, Kelly
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4902. This project is a preliminary project, mainly based on literature review, to investigate what is currently known about lead exposure and lead sources in Northern Canada. In parallel, some work would be done to engage and prepare for a following project monitoring lead in the Sahtú region. These findings will support t...
