Indigenous Engagement. The Saskatchewan government has a duty to consult with First Nations and Métis communities about the impact of this operating plan on their ability to exercise Treaty and Aboriginal rights, before approving the plan. The people Sakâw solicited input from on drafts of this plan included known First Nations and Métis community leadership in and adjacent to the PA TSA for which the province’s duty to consult is triggered by this proposed project. Information about the opportunity to review draft forestry plans reached all areas within and adjacent to the PA TSA through mailings and various forms of advertising, including known indigenous communities. Feedback received has enabled Sakâw to adjust the plan to avoid, mitigate or minimize adverse impacts on the ability of indigenous communities and individuals to xxxx, fish and trap for food on unoccupied Crown lands, gather plants for food and medicine, and carry out traditional ceremonial and cultural practices. Information about discussions and adjustments made to harvesting plans during the development of this operating plan is provided to the Government of Saskatchewan with the submission of this operating plan. It includes communications, commitments and changes made that help inform the government’s consultation process. There is also ongoing engagement with individual trappers and trapper associations, committees or boards, and band members throughout the year that continues to be effective in avoiding or minimizing adverse impacts on traditional land uses. Potential impacts from the proposed forest operations (harvesting, constructing, maintaining and reclaiming roads, and renewing the forest) on the ability to xxxx, trap, fish and carry out traditional uses, and steps that are taken to avoid negative impacts, are described below. - The harvest disturbance impacts the availability of vegetation for different wildlife species. The forest growth cycle is reset to the beginning, and a young forest starts to grow back. Measures to mitigate the impact on trapping activity include keeping high value trapping habitat within and between proposed cutblocks, maintaining traditional access to trails and cabins used for trapping, adjusting harvest areas or the timing of harvest, and leaving green tree retention in strategic locations such as valuable habitat or sensitive sites. - Building roads and carrying out some types of mechanical treatments to promote forest renewal can impact archaeological or culturally sign...

Indigenous Engagement. It is Goal 1.1 of the Cultural Respect Implementation Plan (CRIP) to ‘Xxxxxx cooperation and better coordination of health service delivery across the ACT Government and ACT Aboriginal community. This will include the following outcomes: Health service delivery planning takes into consideration all input from community groups and relevant government agencies; Health service delivery planning is inclusive of the Aboriginal and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Islander community, rather than an exclusive process’. • It is Goal 1.2 of CRIP to ‘Facilitate participation by the Aboriginal and Xxxxxx Strait Islander community in policy development’. Engagement with Aboriginal and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Islander communities will be ensured through working with the Aboriginal and Xxxxxx Strait Islander Health Forum, ACT Aboriginal and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Islander Elected Body and the United Ngunnawal Elders Council. Additionally, other Aboriginal and Xxxxxx Strait Islander organisations will be engaged as necessary.
