Agenda
Against a backdrop of recent high-profile controversy and litigation surrounding major Canadian resource and pipeline projects, indigenous-led independent assessment processes have emerged and gained increased importance on major projects proposed in traditional territories, including the Stk’emlupsemc te Secwepemc Nation’s assessment of KGHM's Ajax Mine Project and the Tsleil-Waututh Nation's assessment Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain Expansion Project.
Please join us for a discussion with counsel on the experiences, perspectives, and lessons learned on the indigenous-led independent environmental assessment processes on these two BC projects, as well as a presentation on West Coast Environmental Law's RELAW project, which pairs indigenous nations with researchers and lawyers to incorporate indigenous laws into land and resource management.
Registration opens at 12:15. Talk starts at 12:30.
