In preparing the Webequie Supply Road Project (the Project) Environmental Assessment Report/Impact Statement (EAR/IS), the effects of the Project on Indigenous Peoples and impacts to the exercise of Aboriginal and Treaty Rights were considered, pursuant to requirements of the Provincial Terms of Reference (ToR) (Webequie First Nation, 2020; Appendix A-2) and the Federal Tailored Impact Statement Guidelines (TISG) (IAAC, 2020; Appendix A-1).

The EAR/IS assessment approach is supported by studies that characterized the existing conditions of Indigenous communities to identify and assess the effects of the Project on Indigenous Peoples and impacts to the exercise of Aboriginal and Treaty Rights.

We have created this easier to understand visual and written version of the introduction with links to the source material, to ensure that not only scientists and policy personnel can understand this, but lay people as well.
