The Cultural Heritage and Archaeological Resources valued component (VC) was identified during the VC scoping and selection process as part of the Environmental Assessment / Impact Assessment (EA/IA) process. This section
describes and assesses the potential effects that the Project may have on the Cultural Heritage and Archaeological Resources VC. Potential effects that the Project may have on other aspects of the cultural environment, from the
perspective of the Webequie First Nation and other Indigenous communities, including Aboriginal and Treaty Rights and interests, land resource uses, such as hunting, gathering, fishing and trapping, and socio-cultural character of remote
communities (i.e., language, traditions, etc.) are assessed in Section 19 of the Draft EAR/IS (Assessment of Effects on Aboriginal and Treaty Rights and Interests).
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.
