In 2020, the Sipekne’katik First Nation (SFN) enacted the Sipekne’katik Governance Initiative (SGI) into its law. This community-based consultation process is composed of 6 phases. It affirms the inherent authority of the SFN to manage their lands, waters, and resources by regulating the industrial activities of foreign governments and proponents on their traditional territories.
The SGI office is in direct contact with governmental, provincial, and private organizations to review the projects and ensure the adequate implementation of the SGI protocol. As our team grows, we are looking for a motivated and flexible Junior Environmentalist to work alongside the SGI team and report to the Consultation Manager and Marine Biologist.
