Society for Applied Anthropology in Manitoba Inc. Aboriginal Engagement in Resource Development: Industry Leading Practices Darcy McGregor
Date: Thursday, Feb.5, 2009 Time: 6:30 p.m. Increasingly, mining companies, hydroelectric companies and other resource developers have had to find ways of involving Aboriginal people in their projects. The nature of these efforts depends on a number of factors, from Aboriginal tenure over land and resources to legal considerations and cultural and environmental aspirations. Within this context, the intent of the discussion is to highlight industry leading practices and the drivers behind them from the perspective of a practicing socio-economic consultant. Darcy McGregor (MA 2002) is employed as a socio-economic consultant with InterGroup Consultants of Winnipeg. He is involved with major national and international resource development corporations in helping to develop and refine their Aboriginal participation programs/policies. Regions of particular interest currently include Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alaska. _______________________________________
