Environmental Assessment and Management Training
for First Nations Lands Managers
Indian and Northern Affairs Canada
Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) provides
training in lands management, environmental management, and environmental
assessment to its staff, First Nations' lands managers, and others
through its Lands Management Training Program (LMTP).
ESSA has been engaged since 1996 to deliver LMTP
courses in environmental management and assessment. The environmental
management course (updated in 2000) introduces the concepts of environmental
site assessment, environmental audits and environmental assessments,
and compares and contrasts how and when each would be applied. The
environmental assessment course introduces basic EA concepts, outlines
respective roles and responsibilities of First Nations and others,
and provides examples and practical experience in how to fulfill
those responsibilities. Workshops typically are delivered with a
First Nations co-instructor.
