This training session aims to illustrate meaningful approaches to consultation between Indigenous Peoples and Industry and demonstrate some tools that can be used for engagement.
Participants will be made aware of diverse values and ways of thinking, the importance of developing relationships, and identify ways of bridging the gap between TEK and western science.
This workshop is designed for Environmental Practitioners in the mining and pulp and paper industry to understand how to plan for emergency response drills under federal and provincial requirements (E2, SPCP, and MDMER/PPER).
As a group, participants will develop a drill, then go through the process of conducting and debriefing a table top drill.
Learn why breeding bird surveys and nest searches are performed, the legislation that enforces these studies, and the protocols that guide these activities. Gain insight into the Migratory Birds Convention Act (MBCA) and learn how to how to identify nests with eggs and how to protect those nests from activities like tree clearing.
Learn to effectively navigate the permitting & compliance requirements for mining & exploration projects in Ontario. Receive a comprehensive overview of the environmental responsibilities that exist within the framework of a modern-day mining operation. Among the topics covered are a discussion of the federal and provincial legislative frameworks and their application to the resource industry, environmental permit requirements and the permitting process, the role of Indigenous consultation on the permitting process, and an introduction to environmental management and compliance programs.
Common to most construction projects and industrial sites, fuel storage is an area of high risk for spills and potential harm to the environment.
This session will review the regulatory requirements in detail for fuel storage, and best practices for managing fuel storage. Participants will also practice what they have learned by auditing virtual fuel storage scenarios using the training materials provided.
Internal environmental auditor training helps environmental practitioners to determine whether their operations are in compliance with Federal and Provincial environmental regulations.
This two-day workshop provides a review of environmental regulations in Canada and Ontario, as it applies to each participant’s site, and then provides hands-on exercises to practice auditing and identify gaps that need to be addressed.
