Withdrawing Values for Protection

Presented by:
Edward Sutherland, Kashechewan First Nation

This session will discuss how Kashechewan First Nation has been withdrawing their values from resource development, and in particular, their withdrawal from mineral claim staking using the Sites of Aboriginal Cultural Significance (SOACS). Edward Sutherland will take you through Kashechewan First Nation’s process of identifying and mapping the area of protection, to having it withdrawn under the Mining Act.
