  • Social Access to jobs for community members is far from the project site, so there would be limited job opportunities for Temagami First Nation community members. Training opportunities that took place in the community might allow a greater access to jobs. We would recommend considering that indigenous communities be directly involved in environmental monitoring throughout the entire project. We would like to see the positive economic effects clarified and specified. We would be interested in understanding what economic benefits the region will experience, and how long these economic benefits will last. There is a potential for this project to impact the section of highway 11 which cuts through our traditional territory. The transportation of heavy-duty equipment for mining or mine construction, or gold doré, would add to the presently dangerous conditions of this highway, making life more difficult for local residents.

  • My understanding is that a hydro-electric plant would be built at the water pypass to the pit. I think it would be a good idea, if it isn't in the current plans, to build a second plant at the site of the dam on the Victoria creek where the infrastructure already exists and I think was built for the original mine. Both of these should be given to Dobbie and/or Beaverhouse after mining ceases and any excess power given to them for free.

  • The following are comments regarding the Upper Beaver Gold Project, in response to the invitation for comments on the Public Engagement Plan, and the Tailored Impact Statement Guidelines. Our overall takeaways were that the guidelines were thorough and provided good direction about data collection. We appreciate the clear articulation of GBA+ applications throughout the guidelines and the instructions with respect to impacts on Indigenous rights and livelihood. We do note however that how the information collected would be applied to the context of the project is left to the discretion of the proponent, including standards of research and methodology of data collection and presentation. This leaves an overall suggestion of independence to choose project impacts mitigation standards that best reflect the needs of proponent. We also would like to note instruments such as the departmental formatted word document being filled out by other departments is an accessible way to help folks ...
