This week’s #IndigenousMonitor (IM) and Regulatory Inspection Officer (IO) Gathering kicked off in a good way with an opening prayer by Elder Ernest Arcand, followed by a song by Métis singer-songwriter JJ Lavallee. Welcoming words came from #IAMC_TMX Committee member Carleen Thomas, Acting Indigenous Co-Chair Raymond Cardinal, Federal Co-Chair Tracy Fleck, and federal regulatory representatives Chris Loewen (CER) and Michael Engelsfjord (DFO). Throughout the day, over 60 participants engaged in activities focused on strengthening cross-cultural understandings and knowledge sharing. Building relationships between IM’s and IO’s is key to creating change in oversight of the #TMX project.
The @IAMC_TMX is seeking proposals from consultants who are qualified to support the finalization of Indigenous Community Profiles and develop an associated mapping application. Closing date: August 22, 2021. Click the link for full details: ow.ly/mgzw50FBYlI
