Aboriginal Engagement

Background and Objectives

Canada’s Mines Ministers unanimously agree that engagement between governments, Aboriginal peoples, communities, industry, and other interested parties is essential to ensuring the long-term sustainability of Canada’s mining sector. As a result, it was directed that approaches be explored, including the development of best practices involving government, industry, and Aboriginal peoples.

Case Studies  

Lessons learned and cases studies were collected and identified significant critical success factors for Aboriginal engagement, as well as key challenges. A compendium of 16 case studies on Aboriginal engagement in the mining and energy sectors illustrates the mutual benefits of investing in stronger relationships and partnerships between governments, Aboriginal peoples, and industry.
