The Shore Gold Star-Orion South Diamond Mine project is a major development that has the potential to employ Saskatchewan people and generate considerable wealth for the province. An important part of the approval process is ensuring that First Nations and Métis communities have the necessary resources to fully participate in the Environmental Assessment (EA) process.
Participation in the EA process will provide the communities with the opportunity to provide valuable input regarding any potential impacts the proposed development may have on Treaty and Aboriginal rights and traditional uses.
"This is an exciting project for all Saskatchewan people and I am pleased the province is able to provide financial support to the communities in order for their voices to be heard during this important Environmental Assessment process," Minister of First Nations and Métis Relations Ken Cheveldayoff said. "This will help ensure any development of the Star-Orion South Diamond mine proceeds with interests of the First Nations and Métis of Saskatchewan addressed."
The funds, totaling $673,000, are being provided to the Métis Nation - Saskatchewan Eastern Region II and Métis Nation - Saskatchewan Western Region II, James Smith Cree Nation and Muskoday First Nation. All the funds are coming from the Consultation Participation Fund of the Ministry of First Nations and Métis Relations.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for our province to continue to build and diversify our economy," Cheveldayoff said. "It is critical that we meet our responsibility to review the environmental impact, including any impact on the rights of First Nations and Métis people."
