We work with communities to assess impacts of past, current, and future development to opportunities for Indigenous land uses such as the harvest of wildlife, fish, and plants. Assessments typically span very large regions to encompass traditional territories, and impacts are interpreted relative to natural baselines. We have worked with Indigenous communities in Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, and Saskatchewan on cumulative effects assessments.
An assessment completed with the Fort McKay Metis Nation was presented at the 2025 Conference of the International Association for Impact Assessment in Bologna, Italy, and was recently published in the journal Environmental Management.
