Summary of Issues
York Factory First Nation Ten Shilling Aerodrome Project
Document reference number: 16
The Summary of Issues outlines the key issues that the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) considers relevant for the federal impact assessment process for the York Factory First Nation Ten Shilling Aerodrome Project (the project). The proponent's response to the Summary of Issues will support decision-making by IAAC on whether an impact assessment is required under section 16 of the Impact Assessment Act. If an impact assessment is required, the key issues outlined below and the proponent's response will inform the scope of the impact assessment, and the development of the Tailored Impact Statement Guidelines and plans, as appropriate.
IAAC was informed by input from federal authorities, Indigenous groups, and the public received to date on the proponent's Summary of the Initial Project Description. The proponent is encouraged to read all submission on the Canadian Impact Assessment Registry Internet site for the project (Reference Number 89488).
The proponent is required to describe how it intends to address the key issues identified below as part of the development of its project. A high-level description is sufficient. Where relevant, the proponent is encouraged to identify if the key issues will be addressed through existing legislative and regulatory frameworks (i.e. legislation or regulation), by proponent commitments to best practices, policies or standards, or both.
Key Issues
Indigenous engagement and consultation
- Potential gaps in meaningful engagement and consultation with Indigenous Peoples potentially affected by the project, including Manitoba Métis Federation and nearby Indigenous communities.
Project design
- Potential negative effects of the project located along Ten Shilling Creek on fish and fish habitat and migratory birds and their habitat, due to potential disturbance to the existing trail which is the proposed route for transporting equipment and workers to the project site. Briefly describe proposed mitigation measures to address any potential effects.
