Aboriginal communities study mining impact. (Fednor Update).A unique research study funded through FedNor is now under way in 10 Aboriginal communities throughout Northern Ontario Northern Ontario is the part of the province of Ontario which lies north of Lake Huron (including Georgian Bay), the French River and Lake Nipissing. Northern Ontario has a land area of 802,000 km² (310,000 mi²) and constitutes 87% of the land area of Ontario, although it .

Sudbury-based Gezhtoojig Employment & Training and the Canadian Aboriginal Minerals Association (CAMA (Central Automatic Message Accounting) See AMA. ) are spearheading the project. CAMA President, Hans Matthews, stressed the importance of gaining first-hand knowledge of the needs of Aboriginal communities throughout the North and of the issues and opportunities they face. "This project's uniqueness is that individual communities and their members are driving the process," says Matthews. "Issues of land-use planning, environmental protection and management of resources vary from region to region and community to community." A local coordinator, selected by the Chief and Council, has been hired in each of the 10 communities to gather the data including a community profile, a recap re·cap 1 tr.v. re·capped, re·cap·ping, re·caps 1.

Once this information is analysed and presented to the communities, it will be shared with representatives of the mineral industry and government to develop a strategic plan to address key issues, fill gaps, and explore new partnership opportunities for economic development in Aboriginal communities across Northern Ontario.

La strategie vise a accroitre la participation des communautes autochtones a l'industrie des mineraux nordontarienne et a favoriser l'etablissement de partenariats a long terme entre ces communautes, tous les ordres du gouvernement et l'industrie des mineraux. L'organisme sudburois Gezhtoojig Employment & Training et la Canadian Aboriginal Minerals Association (CAMA) menent le projet. Le president de la CAMA, Hans Matthews, a souligne l'importance d'acquerir une connaissance directe des besoins des communautes autochtones du Nord, des problems qu'elles affrontent et des possibilites qui s'offrent a elles. Ce qui permet a ce projet de se distinguer, c'est qu'il est dirige par des communautes individuelles et par les membres de celles-ci, explique M. Matthews. Les questions portant sur la planification de l'utilisation des terres, la protection de l'environnement et la gestion des ressources varient d'une region l'autre, voire d'une communaute l'autre. Dans chacune des dix communautes, on a embauche un coordonnateur local, choisi par le chef et le conseil. Sa fonction sera la collecte de donnees, savoir un profil communautaire, un sommaire du niveau d'activite miniere et de son impact, les questions, les besoins ou les preoccupations des gens gens (jĕnz), ancient Roman kinship group. It was the counterpart of what is known in other societies as a patrilineal clan or sib, and the word has been used in social science as a generic term for such groupings. concernant l'industrie miniere et La facon dont la communaute peut s'engager davantage dans le processus.
