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.
