3 Update on Community Engagement and Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit

4 Phase 2 Community Engagement
March – April 2019 March 30: Baffin Region Mayors Forum Provided project update to all Baffin region mayors March 30: North Baffin Mayors Meeting Discussed recent NPC request for information related to the Steensby rail line Benefits of the Mary River Project. Mayors expressed a desire for increased direct project benefits April 11: Meeting with Hamlet of Pond Inlet, MHTO, and Hamlet of Igloolik following Technical Meetings Discussed outstanding issues – community engagement, IQ and contract benefits. Baffinland was requested to work directly with the communities to resolve outstanding issues and continued engagement. April 30: Follow up with Hamlets of Igloolik and Pond Inlet on commitments from Technical Meetings All requested documents provided April 30: Meeting with MHTO and QIA Discussed 2019 marine monitoring programs, food security as related to narwhal abundance and the 2018 harvesting numbers. Established that an additional meeting was necessary to further discussions on harvesting Follow-up on development of community based monitoring programs for MHTO consideration and approval (Facilitated by BIM, led by Golder) Confirmed list of upcoming community meetings 1. Summary of upcoming consultation opportunities 2. How does Baffinland envisions long term partnership/ community feedback with North Baffin communities?

5 Phase 2 Community Engagement
May 2019 May 1-2: NIRB Marine Monitoring and Marine Mitigation Workshop Session focused on Baffinland’s current marine management, which would apply to Phase 2, should it be approved NIRB released a recommendation report on May 6; Baffinland believes its programs and methods already support the recommendations and will demonstrate this through official response May 14-16: Qikiqtaaluk Socio-Economic Monitoring Committee and Mary River Socio-Economic Monitoring Working Group Meeting (CIRNAC, Baffin Region Mayors, GN, QIA) Discussed 2018 Socio-Economic Monitoring Report Discussed the development of food security indicators for the project MRSEMWG – discussed establishment of socio-economic monitoring thresholds May 22-23: Pond Inlet Harvesting Meeting (MHTO, QIA, Hamlet) Session focused on data available to understand harvesting trends of marine wildlife, and the impacts of low harvest years on hunters, families and communities Assessed currently available programs to support harvesting, food security and cultural activities; Identified that running these programs was important but a gap exists specifically for support to hunters and that the IIBA Wildlife Compensation Fund does not provide access to funds to account for years of lower abundance. Also identified that compensation for loss of activities and funds is desired Follow-up meeting planned for June 24. Review of all information and Baffinland to present ideas on support for hunters and the HTO 1. Summary of upcoming consultation opportunities 2.
