New partnerships bridge the gap between industry and community
Canada’s mining sector has an extensive history, with minerals playing a vital role in day-to-day life going back thousands of years. Since then, much has changed and the industry has experienced innumerable advancements, including in technology, safety, and sustainability. More recently, one of the most significant developments has been the official recognition of the traditional lands of Indigenous communities that many Canadian mines are located on.
As minerals continue to play a critical role in day-to-day life, including to support the energy transition with electrification and low-carbon technology, it becomes increasingly important to support our Indigenous communities with their stewardship action plans that are based on traditional knowledge since time immemorial. National Resources Canada states that “Indigenous representation in the minerals sector has increased in the last decade, especially in the mining industry.
Right to consent has been instrumental in ushering in meaningful engagement between those who are proposing a project and those whose traditional livelihoods could be impacted by that disturbance. With new legislation and rulings placing FPIC in the forefront, there have been significant changes that genuinely see collaboration and the resulting benefits in working with Indigenous communities.
