Summary: The major objective of this proposed 2015 fieldwork is twofold. Firstly, the principle investigator (PI) aims to conduct a comprehensive literature review of the mining- and environment-related materials held at the Déline Land Corporation in order to enrich their understanding of this history as it is understood by the community. Secondly, the PI wants to assist in the creation of a real archive ...

Summary: The research team will work closely with members of four NWT communities to identify the historical and continued impacts of abandoned mines adjacent to their communities. The research team will ask how mineral development impacted the social life, economic prospects and local environments of Northern communities throughout the twentieth century, considering carefully the connections between socia...

Summary: The objective of the work is to assist INAC with its ongoing work to clean up the abandoned mine sites, and to insure that remediation efforts are performing as planned. SENES will be carrying out the sampling for the Contaminants and Remediation Directorate (CARD) of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC). INAC CARD has the responsibility to manage the abandoned Great Bear Lake mine sites i...

Summary: Objectives of the aquatics studies are to determine fish presence/absence, characterize habitat and add to data collected in a similar programme in 2006. The objective of the water-quality sampling is to continue collection of data in streams and tributaries which flow through the project area. Hydrometric monitoring will enhance the flow history of streams down-gradient of the site. The objective...
