  3. Socio-Economic Monitoring Committee Meeting • Purpose of Presentation • To describe the Jericho Socio-Economic Impact Statement • To provide my own observations about the EIS and how it may fit into a monitoring program

  4. Socio-Economic Monitoring Committee Meeting • Jericho EIS: baseline VSECs • Baseline information is provided for the Kitikmeot Region and all 7 (5+2) communities. • The following VSECs are described: • Demography • Employment opportunities • Contract and business opportunities • Education and training • Crime • Community health (and wellness) • (Economy) • (Housing) • (Community services and infrastructure) • (Government)

  5. Socio-Economic Monitoring Committee Meeting Jericho EIS Predictions: Summary • Employment opportunities • Education and training • Contract and business opportunities • Community health • Crime • Demographic impact Moderate Moderate Moderate Moderate Moderate Minor

  6. Socio-Economic Monitoring Committee Meeting • Jericho EIS Predictions: Employment • Residents of the Kitikmeot will fill: • 50% of management positions • 60% of skilled positions • 90% of the semi-skilled positions • 60% Inuit employment by 2009

  7. Socio-Economic Monitoring Committee Meeting Jericho EIS Predictions: Workforce After Robert Hornal & Associates Ltd 2003

  8. Socio-Economic Monitoring Committee Meeting • Jericho EIS Predictions: Workforce • Jericho will attract employees from the communities • Full time employees from communities will be reluctant to leave their current jobs • The permanent positions in the plant and on the catering team will be the most attractive

  9. Socio-Economic Monitoring Committee Meeting • Jericho EIS Predictions: Workforce • 72 jobs represent 4% of the workforce of the Kitikmeot, therefore the magnitude of the impact will be medium • Duration of some of the jobs will be 3 to 9 years or long term • Skilled and semi-skilled positions account for 95% of the jobs to be filled

  10. Socio-Economic Monitoring Committee Meeting • Jericho EIS Predictions: Workforce • Impact on the workforce will be moderate and: • Certain • Continuous • Medium in magnitude • Year round • Regional • Medium-term duration • Reversible

  11. Socio-Economic Monitoring Committee Meeting • EIS Predictions: Education and Training • The majority of skilled and semi-skilled positions will come from the Kitikmeot • Additional training programs will be necessary in the communities • It will take longer to train the Nunavummiut employees in the plan

  12. Socio-Economic Monitoring Committee Meeting • EIS Predictions: Education and training • Training and education are certain and: • Continuous (mine site) / intermittent (community) • Year round • Medium in magnitude • Will likely involve residents from all Kitikmeot communities • Non-reversible • Moderate in impact

  13. Socio-Economic Monitoring Committee Meeting • EIS Predictions: Contract and Business Opportunities • The probability of providing contracts and business opportunities is certain and will be: • Year round • Medium in magnitude ($34 million operating costs) • Long term • Reversible • Moderate in impact

  14. Socio-Economic Monitoring Committee Meeting • EIS Predictions: Community Health • Availability of jobs adds to youths’ self worth and can reduce the potential for suicide • New money can provide families with snowmobiles and hunting equipment • New money can increase the consumption of store bought alcohol

  15. Socio-Economic Monitoring Committee Meeting • EIS Predictions: Community Health • The physical health of Kitikmeot residents should be little impacted by the development of the mine • “Consultants hope that some of the revenues flowing to government will be directed towards health delivery” • New money can provide families with snowmobiles and hunting equipment

  16. Socio-Economic Monitoring Committee Meeting • EIS Predictions: Community Health • New money can increase the consumption of store bought alcohol • The cash flow from the new jobs may help some families purchase a new home in their community • In migration should not be a factor in increasing the number of units required

  17. Socio-Economic Monitoring Committee Meeting • EIS Predictions: Community Health • There will be little impact on traditional hunting, fishing and trapping activities • Advantages and disadvantages of fly-in/fly-out jobs is found under Tab 6 of your binders • Community leaders believed it was better to have the choice to work for the mine than not to have the choice

  18. Socio-Economic Monitoring Committee Meeting • EIS Predictions: Community Health • Impacts to community health will be moderate and: • Infrequent (family, not community impacts) • Low in magnitude • Year round • Regional • Reversible with support from community and company

  19. Socio-Economic Monitoring Committee Meeting • EIS Predictions: Crime • The probability that incidents of crime may increase with increased disposable income is moderate. • The increase will be: • Medium in magnitude • Year round • Regional • Reversible • Moderate in impact

  20. Socio-Economic Monitoring Committee Meeting • EIS Predictions: Demographic Change • In-migration may occur • Increased population may stress services (e.g housing, schools, medical) • Impact due to in-migration is not likely to occur • Intra-regional migration will be negligible

  21. Socio-Economic Monitoring Committee Meeting • SEIA: Observations • Impact assessment: • fair synopsis of potential impacts • gives us clues about possible information sources • includes potential positives • no link to baseline information • weak rationale for significance • difficult to judge relative significance of impacts
