West Kitikmeot / Slave Study Society - Development of an Interim Plan for Cumulative Effects Research and Monitoring in the Slave Geological Province (NWT and Nunavut) (2001 - 2002)
DPRA developed an interim plan for cumulative effects (CE) research and monitoring in the Slave Geological Province (SGP) for the West Kitikmeot / Slave Study Society (WKSS). The plan was to be implemented during the transitional period between completion of WKSS' 5-year baseline research program, and prior to implementation of a regional CE assessment and management mechanism. Background information was collected during a review of relevant literature/documents; interviews were conducted with almost 30 individuals in Nunavut and the NWT representing a range of organizations; and a workshop in October 2001 was with researchers who had completed projects for WKSS. A workshop in November 2001 with technical representatives from a range of organizations with an interest in CE research and monitoring in the SGP resulted in advice and guidance that were used to prepare a synthesis paper and options with respect to management of the interim research and monitoring plan. The findings and recommendations were reviewed with the WKSS Board in October 2002.
