  • As a former Community Organizer with the Indigenous people, Aetas, in the Philippines after the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in the early 1990s, I made as my personal mission to advocate for the needs of Indigenous Peoples wherever I can. As a healthservice organization our goals and mission are aligned with the Reconciliation's 94 Calls to Action, particulalrly Action 18-24 which is healthcare. Our philosophy is grounded in science where we believe that a healthy community and its people only flourishes when their environment is healthy. Which translate to the universal reality, regardless of community affiliation, that in this day and age and real threat of Climate Change, it is imperative that every community should have the necessary tool to ensure that they are calamity (pandemic)- ready to meet those climate-induced challenges. In this case, the Indigenous communities that are or will be projected to be "affected" with the Lake Manitoba and Lake ...

We have had minimal contact with proponent on this project and feel that our location, downstream of the project and concerns about the project, translate into a much deeper level of consultation than experienced so far. Our main concern is the water quality downstream of the project. The EIS temporal and spatial boundaries and surface water assessment and cumulative effects assessment do not go far enough to take into account our concerns. Fully consult with Tataskweyak Cree Nation and where it is necessary change the EIS boundaries and analyses used in the ...

  • May 28, 2020 Alex Nisbet and John Harvie Myers LLP Regarding: Review of Lake Manitoba and Lake St. Martin Outlet Channels Project Environmental Impact Statement Dear Mr. Harvie and Mr. Nisbet Attached please find an executive summary and my technical review of the Lake Manitoba and Lake St. Martin Outlet Channels Project Environmental Impact Statement. The review is in support of the interests of your clients from Pinaymootang First Nation, Sagkeeng First Nation, and Sandy Bay First Nation. You will see from my summary and review that I found the Environmental Impact Statement to be deficient in many areas, including errors made at the scoping stage. I do not believe that remedial work by Manitoba Infrastructure and its consultants will be able to correct the deficiencies in the environmental assessment. My recommendation is that the assessment process should be started again from the beginning. I would be happy to discuss these documents and my ...
