Objective(s): Imperial Oil Resources Ltd., Aboriginal Pipeline Group, ConocoPhillips Canada (north) Ltd., Shell Canada Limited, and ExxonMobil Canada are continuing a series of baseline studies they have been working on since 2001. 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, assessing impacts and developing environmental protection plans. The traditional knowledge study will involve collecting existing knowledge, gathering new knowledge, and producing a report that will provide 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. The Mackenzie Project Environment Group will be subcontracting the Pehdzeh Ki First Nation to collect and document traditional knowledge for this project. The Wrigley Traditional Knowledge Working Group will determine issues to be studied, determine study area boundaries, recommend methods for community participation, identify people who have traditional knowledge, and review the maps and reports produced during the study.
