Current Projects
Depot Harbour Remediation
Dillon Consulting Limited
Dillon Consulting Limited (retained by Public Works and Government Services Canada, on behalf of Indigenous Services Canada) are completing a Data Gap Analysis for the known environmental conditions of Depot Harbour. These results will be used to develop a detailed work plan to fill the gaps in our current understanding of the environmental conditions of this area. The ultimate goal of this study, and any following investigations and remedial programs, is to remove the legacy environmental concerns.
Data Gap Analysis
Objectives of the Data Gap Analysis include reviewing available environmental studies that have been completed to date and identifying any data gaps in regards to scientific and engineering practices as well as any relevant regulations; and to make recommendations for any additional work to further assess the environmental condition of this site.
Desktop Ecological Land Classification
LGL Limited
With the assistance of LGL Limited, an ecological land classification (ELC) study is being conducted for Wasauksing First Nation, strictly from aerial imagery. ELC is a geographic system that is used to identify areas of the landscape and characterize them. Once complete, the layer can be useful for a wide variety of land management and planning tasks.
Upcoming Projects
Traditional Fisheries Monitoring Program
Traditional Fisheries Monitoring Program
Wasauksing First Nation, with assistance from Shared Value Solutions, and funding from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, will be conducting the first phase of the Traditional Fisheries Monitoring Program. The first phase is a planning phase to include extensive community engagement to gather traditional knowledge of local fish species and critical habitat (e.g. spawning areas), understand community concerns of impacts to traditional fisheries and identify areas for future fish and fish habitat monitoring activities. This phase will include the development of a detailed work plan for studying the potential impacts to fish and fish habitat.
