The health studies listed are well covered. However as we live in an aging community as tidy on geriatrics should be considered. As well, with this new industry coming to Ignace another topic of study to consider would be work place injury & rehabilitation.
Income, education, employment & housing are all listed in Social determinants. Where do the social revives fit in amd is that considered and studied.
on page 169 is states that there is a disparity in infrastructure & services between communities, which may necessitate travel to other communities. I think the following is missing and should be studied: increased pressures on the services & the impact it will have on neighbouring communities, increased highway travel to access such services. What's being done to alleviate this? How is something like this studied?
If labour force characteristics, income, education & training, business opportunities, municipal finances and cost of living are being studied...are they " drilling" down on the host community(Ignace) to provide specific data? How will NWMO help Ignace ensure it's has all the economic conditions ready as the host community.
