A field trip to a nearby site will further expand on the EA scenario, adding real-life considerations to the assessment process. Participants will gain hands-on experience with various environmental monitoring techniques, including the collection of water and soil samples, and conducting baseline assessments of plant and water life. Discussions will occur throughout the workshop surrounding the challenges and realities of EAs and environmental monitoring in northern Ontario’s First Nation communities, including the challenges and frustrations of navigating government-regulated processes surrounding potential developments on your traditional homelands.
