Caring for our environment. Creating economic opportunity.
Aboriginal Partnerships
Building New Partnerships with Aboriginal Groups
Enbridge has a long history of working with Aboriginal groups and has put in place a detailed Indigenous Peoples policy that identifies paths to mutual success. We have embraced a new relationship with Aboriginal peoples across Canada and recognize Aboriginal rights.
Northern Gateway is committed to working with First Nations and Métis groups along the pipeline route to create meaningful economic opportunities and to incorporate traditional knowledge into the planning and operations of the project. A measure of our success will be our ability to accomplish these goals.
To achieve this high level of respectful and meaningful involvement, Northern Gateway is seeking to develop:
• Aboriginal equity ownership in the Kitimat terminal and pipeline operations
• Protocol Agreements that provide funds to support a dialogue between Northern Gateway and Aboriginals groups
• Additional agreements that cover specific opportunities such as employment, training, business procurement and environmental protection
• A coastal community strategy to build upon the local knowledge and skills of coastal First Nations
