UNDERSTAND YOUR OBLIGATIONS, EXPECTATIONS and
BEST PRACTICES for ENGAGING with LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS

Western Canada is a hotbed for energy production including the oil sands, shale production, mining and power projects. All of these projects will have an impact on the environment and therefore a potential impact on the communities surrounding them. Due to this, consultation to some degree is necessary.
Although, technically a Crown duty, it is equally important for companies to engage with local communities to ensure acceptance and success for their project.

The Canadian Institute’s Aboriginal Consultation and NegotiationWestern Canada conference will deliver the essential information you need to keep up with this ever evolving field. Discover best practices and guidelines from Aboriginal communities, industry and government to ensure a successful outcome.
Benefit from timely information, including:

  • Alberta’s Consultation Policy update
  • Understanding the connection between land designations and the ‘duty to consult’
  • Realizing initiatives underway for responding to environmental impact concerns
  • Hear ‘stories from the field’ from industry, government and Aboriginal groups on relationship building
  • Get clarification on the duty to consult and accommodate from recent court decisions
