ESRS Webinar: Reconciliation in Canada Today
The tragic news surrounding the discovery of the unmarked graves of hundreds of Indigenous children has somehow affected each one of us. To a larger extent, to those of us who are Indigenous, but also to those who have established friendships and/or working relationships with Indigenous peoples. We are struggling to process this information and are left wondering how can we move through this as industry professionals and as Canadians who really do care about our country? Now more than ever, reconciliation has become a poignant topic.
On July 22 at 1:00 PM (EDT), join ESRS, Lana Eagle (Lana Eagle Consulting) and Nathan Stubina (Sherritt International) for a frank discussion about reconciliation in Canada.

CIM Academy: This week's highlight
Community Engagement Strategies and Case Studies
This session on community engagement features three presentations that were originally to be presented at the 2020 CIM Convention. It is now available on CIM Academy.
- Nick Hawley of BBA Engineering speaks about the engagement approaches used, relationships built, and opportunities realized through work with Indigenous peoples across nine traditional territories for construction of the Northwest Transmission line. The powerline supports mining operations in northern British Columbia.
- Zorigtkhuu Bat-Erdene of the University of British Columbia elaborates on his research for creating opportunities for land-connected culture and businesses using a combination of quantitative and qualitative data analysis and interviews. His work focuses on a case study of a Canadian mining company in the Gobi region of Mongolia.
- Aviva Silburt of the University of Waterloo talks about practical tools to help incorporate complex systems thinking into policies and strategies for navigating the mining-related conflict. Aviva will illustrate the tools through in-depth examination of two mines in Guatemala.
