Abstract:
One of the main problems in defining strategies for the real estate market (whether in terms of planning and, therefore, in public administration, or whether of a considerably more speculative nature, and therefore, in the private sector) lies in the operator’s less than perfect knowledge of the aspects of supply and demand, due to the real estate market’s characteristics. The prerequisite to starting or sustaining virtuous dynamics in territorial development is knowledge of the real estate market, an area that has now been widely studied, in terms of the potential for economic, social and territorial development. This paper proposes the application of a synthetic index, the Housing Affordability Index (HAI), which was developed in detail at the municipality level to identify areas where housing is inadequate. The territorial scope includes Northwest regions of Italy, Liguria and Lombardy. HAI describes what happened and must then be understood conducing multi-disciplinary examinations, intended to explain why it happened.

Abstract:
The delivery of housing programs in the Northwest Territories in the post—World War II era was part and parcel of government's newly defined northern mandate. Often described as the "northern vision", the northern mandate was a wide ranging initiative that provided for government-orchestrated, northern expansion. Precipitated by both the federal and the territorial governments, the housing programs as delivered under the auspices of the northern vision, more readily provided for the expansionary needs of government than for the shelter needs of the northern residents.

Abstract:
Abstract Unintentional injuries are one of the leading causes of death worldwide, yet they are predictable and avoidable events. Community-based approaches to injury prevention are those where researchers and/or injury prevention specialists work alongside the target population to identify injury prevention issues and then co-create strategies that are relevant to the population. Community-based strategies differ from other approaches as they strive to conduct research with, rather than on marginalized groups. A community-based approach to social marketing, injury prevention and risk messaging was applied in Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada, to examine and address men’s boating safety behaviours. Community participants identified the need for northern-based safety resources and a community-wide education campaign. As demonstrated through this example, community-based strategies should be considered for injury prevention, as the involvement of local community members may lead to more effective risk messaging that reflects the needs, culture, and experiences of the target group, while promoting healthy behaviours.

Abstract:
In the Asian mini-city-states of Hong Kong and Singapore, massive public housing programmes, far more extreme in density and height than their European and North American predecessors, have played an unexpectedly prominent role in development policy since the 1950s. This article explores some of the ways in which the original conventions of public housing were transformed and “densified” in these territories, and argues that the key influences in this process were not so much avant-garde modernist architectural discourses as the organisational mechanisms and political pressures within late British colonialism and decolonisation.

Abstract:
The practice of public associations entering various spheres of activity in the territories of the state shows that many associations do not fulfill their missions to ensure a comfortable stay for the citizens of the territories, but are engaged in consumer extremism. They solve their consumer tasks and systematically do not participate in the processes of constructive interaction between the authorities, producers and consumers of services. In this article, for the first time, the issues of interaction of public associations in the housing and communal services system with all the elements available in it are considered. The existing structure of the housing and communal services system is shown, which includes such elements as: federal, regional authorities, resource-supplying, related organizations, regional operators in the field of housing and communal services, performers of housing and communal services, public associations and homeowners and tenants. The stages of the organization of public associations are defined, a block diagram of the algorithm of state registration and registration of a legal entity for public associations is constructed. The internal organizational and managerial structure of associations is shown, their functions and their place in the housing and communal services management system are considered. It should be emphasized that the influence of public organizations is carried out through internal and external management in the housing and communal services system to solve the tasks of promoting the formation of housing self-government as an important institution of civil society and an effective tool for improving the housing and communal industry. It is revealed that an essential tool in the management of the housing and communal services system is the presence of public microstructures in the majority of its elements, interaction with which makes it possible to exert a controlling influence on the entire system as a whole, thereby obtaining positive results in protecting the rights of consumers of housing and communal services.

Abstract:
Students’ privacy expectations in university housing have increased, a change that has been reflected in universities shifting from traditional units to increasing numbers of apartments and suites. This study examines privacy and territories in student university housing architecture, using architectural plans of 76 residences, relating the socialization of university students to their academic success by bringing together various literatures—student development, student development practice, and architecture of student housing—to address positivesocializing forms of architecture and effects of crowding and isolation in residence design. The proposed Hierarchy of Isolation and Privacy in Architecture Tool (HIPAT) is a tool for measuring and analyzing levels of privacy and the impact that control mechanisms in the built environment of student university housing have on them. The HIPAT addresses the need to analyze student interactions in residences from an architectural lens that applies a robust privacy literature as well as visualizing primary, secondary, and public territories in student university housing.

Abstract:
For many years, social housing policy in Canada has relied upon supply-side programs. Recently, these programs have come under criticism for failing to serve the needs of poor households, precipitating a philosophical shift toward income supplement programs. While evaluations of past programs support this shift, most studies have been done at the national level and may not reflect the housing needs of specific regions or communities in Canada. This study evaluates a supply-side housing program for one community in northern Canada - Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. Drawing upon the tools of welfare economics, the study evaluates the Public Housing Program in Yellowknife in terms of economic efficiency and equity. The study analyses the program from the viewpoints of the Canadian public and the residents of the N.W.T. In both cases, the Net Present Value, calculated from measurable costs and benefits, is negative suggesting the program is not economically efficient. Non-tenant benefits of between $446,082 and $966,955 per year are required to justify the program from the national perspective and between $123,724 and $320,304 from the territorial perspective. The analysis suggests the program is promoting a small degree of equity. Benefits from the program are greater for households with lower incomes and decline by approximately $11 for every $100 increase in annual household income. The program supports horizontal equity with respect to age of household head, but there is some inequality with respect to sex as female-led households receive significantly greater benefits than their male counterparts. The results of the study are consistent with the economics literature. As expected, justification of the Public Housing Program in Yellowknife must appeal to notions other than economic efficiency. Advocates of the program may find support in the equity achievements of the program or in recent research suggesting that public housing programs have smaller work disincentive effects than programs of cash transfers.

Abstract:
This study identifies and describes three institutional impediments to state-sponsored community development in Canada's North. Community development is defined as both the process and product of purposive social action aimed at community empowerment. The central premise of the study is that community development initiatives offer promise for overcoming the pernicious effects of colonialism in the North. Dominant modes of northern economic and political development are described and are shown to have resulted in few lasting benefits for northern communities and to have contributed to a pervasive alienation and sense of powerlessness. Recent theory on community development and the state is used to demonstrate that state agencies can be expected to adopt community development objectives in response to conflict or community demands — not out of the benevolence of liberal policy makers. Similarly, the study argues that if community demands for empowerment wane, institutional impediments may undermine state-sponsored community development initiatives. Impediments to state-sponsored community development are illustrated through a case study of community development in the North. The study examines the factors which led to the adoption of a community development mandate by an agency of the territorial government — the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation — and it describes the forces which ultimately undermined its community development efforts. Three institutional impediments to state-sponsored community development in Canada's North are identified and described: government-imposed limitations on the independent actions of territorial agencies; shifting political priorities which stem, in part, from the unique form of electoral politics in the Northwest Territories; and intransigence and personnel changes within the bureaucracy. The principal implication of the findings is that practitioners and theorists alike must recognize that community development is an activity concerned with power and politics. In accordance with this recognition, community interests must not expect the state to adopt meaningful community development objectives unless it is in response to effective community demands, and must anticipate that institutional impediments may appear and undermine such efforts if these demands subside. These realizations must inform strategies for community empowerment before the promise of community development can be met in Canada's North.

Abstract:
Homelessness is generally regarded as a recent phenomenon in the Northwest Territories (NWT). Since the late 1990s, emergency shelters in Yellowknife and Inuvik have reported a steady increase in use, representing a rise in absolute, or 'visible', homelessness. Significantly, the vast majority of homeless men and women in both communities are Aboriginal. In response to community-identified research needs, and through a desire to address gaps in the literature on northern homelessness, the primary aim of this doctoral research project is to understand how homelessness in the urbanizing regional centres of Inuvik and Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, is produced and/or reproduced. My study includes data gathered in Inuvik and Yellowknife from 2007 to 2009. Drawing on 150 in-depth interviews, six focus groups, and over eight months of participant observation with homeless people, my dissertation brings together a conceptual framework grounded in theories of housing insecurity and homelessness, sociocultural upheaval, social exclusion, uneven development, and dependency with feminist research methods and a community-based approach to articulate a critical geography of northern homelessness. In my thesis, I address four specific research objectives. The first is to understand what factors comprise housing (in)security in a northern context and how they relate to northern homelessness. Through my analyses, I found that northern housing (in)security stems from a series of structural and individual factors that have challenged various elements of 'home'. These challenges result from sociocultural changes that have taken place in the Canadian North throughout the 20th century, such as: social and material exclusion; breakdowns in family and community; detachment from cultural connections; trauma; institutionalization and loss of independence; violence and gendered experiences of housing insecurity; economic insecurity; and, the emergence of chronic housing need. My second objective is to examine individual pathways to homelessness in order to better understand why certain individuals are vulnerable. My findings illustrate that among northern pathways to homelessness, there are common vulnerabilities present in seven key areas, demonstrating 'compounded disadvantage' as a concept of relevance in homeless peoples' lives. These key areas include: 1) education, training and employment; 2) work histories; 3) housing histories; 4) corrections histories; 5) child welfare system; 6) loss of social networks and dysfunctional relationships; and, 7) addictions and mental health. My third objective is to comprehend how policy and economic factors affect housing insecurity and homelessness in the Northwest Territories. I found that contemporary policy and practice for both public and private rental housing, combined with shifts in employment policy and practice, have significant impacts on the homelessness pathways of northern men and women. These policies and practices coalesce around the notion of 'deserving' and 'undeserving' poor, casting certain characteristics and people as 'deviant'. I argue that the perception of dependency as a 'deviance' lies at the heart of much contemporary northern social policy. My fourth objective is to understand the role of rural-urban dynamics in pathways to homelessness in Yellowknife and Inuvik. My investigation revealed that homelessness in the northern urban centres of Yellowknife and Inuvik is rooted in factors that emerge through urban spaces as well as rural ones. These factors are shaped by colonial legacies and contemporary forms of government paternalism that are, at once, social and spatial. Four main themes framed the rural-urban movements of homeless research participants: 1) the draws of opportunity in larger centres; 2) core housing need in the settlements; 3) settlement-urban institutional flows; and 4) disintegrating social relationships in the settlements.
L'itinérance est généralement considérée comme un phénomène récent dans les Territoires du Nord-Ouest (TNO). Avant les années 1990, les signes visibles d'itinérance dans les communautés des TNO étaient rares. Or, depuis la fin des années 1990, les hébergements d'urgence à Yellowknife et Inuvik ont signalé une augmentation constante de leur utilisation, correspondant à une croissance de l'itinérance absolue ou «visible». De façon significative, l'immense majorité des hommes et des femmes sans-abri dans ces deux communautés sont des Autochtones. Le principal objectif de ce projet de recherche doctoral est de comprendre comment l'itinérance dans les centres régionaux d'urbanisation d'Inuvik et de Yellowknife, TNO, est (re)produite.Mon étude comprend des données recueillies à Inuvik et à Yellowknife entre 2007 et 2009. S'appuyant sur cent cinquante entrevues, six groupes de discussion, et plus de huit mois d'observation participante avec des personnes sans-abri, ma thèse articule une géographie critique de l'itinérance dans le Nord à partir d'un cadre conceptuel fondé, d'une part, sur les théories de la précarité du logement et de l'itinérance, des bouleversements socioculturels, de l'exclusion sociale, du développement inégal et de la dépendance, et d'autre part, sur les méthodes de recherche féministe et une approche à base communautaire. Mon étude répond à quatre objectifs de recherche spécifiques. Le premier consiste à comprendre quels sont les facteurs de l'insécurité du logement dans un contexte nordique et comment ils se rapportent à l'itinérance dans le Nord. Mes analyses révèlent que l'insécurité du logement découle d'une série d'éléments structurels et individuels qui remettent en question les divers éléments du «chez soi». Ces défis résultent des changements socioculturels qui ont eu lieu dans le Nord canadien tout au long du vingtième siècle, tels que l'exclusion sociale et matérielle; les ruptures familiales et communautaires; l'effritement des liens culturels; le traumatisme; l'institutionnalisation et la perte de l'indépendance; la violence; l'insécurité économique; et le besoin de logement. Mon deuxième objectif est d'examiner les parcours individuels à l'itinérance afin de mieux comprendre pourquoi certaines personnes sont plus vulnérables que d'autres. Les résultats montrent que parmi les voies vers l'itinérance, il existe des vulnérabilités communes dans sept domaines clés: 1) l'éducation, la formation et l'emploi; 2) les antécédents de travail; 3) l'histoire personnelle relative au logement 4) les antécédents correctionnels; 5) le système de protection de la jeunesse; 6) l'effritement des réseaux sociaux et l'existence de relations dysfonctionnelles; 7) la toxicomanie et la santé mentale. Mon troisième objectif est de comprendre comment les facteurs politiques et économiques affectent l'insécurité du logement et l'itinérance dans les TNO. À ce sujet, je démontre que les politiques publiques et la pratique contemporaines relatives aux logements locatifs publics et privés, combinées à des changements dans les politiques et la pratique de l'emploi, avaient des impacts significatifs sur les trajectoires vers l'itinérance des hommes et des femmes dans le Nord. Mon quatrième objectif est de comprendre le rôle des régions rurales et urbaines dans la dynamique de l'itinérance à Yellowknife et à Inuvik. Mon enquête a révélé que l'itinérance dans les centres urbains nordiques de Yellowknife et d'Inuvik est enracinée dans des facteurs propres autant aux espaces urbains qu'aux zones rurales. Quatre thèmes principaux encadrent les mouvements ruraux-urbains des participants: 1) l'attrait des opportunités présentes dans les grands centres; 2) le manque de logement dans les zones rurales; 3) les flux institutionnels ruraux-urbains, et 4) la désintégration des relations sociales dans les communautés rurales.

Abstract:
Using a cross-national comparative approach, this thesis examines the Native housing crisis in the Northwest Territories, Alaska, and northern USSR from 1980 to 1990. The affordability, adequacy, and suitability of public and private sector housing is analyzed, as well as their structural and cultural limitations in a northern context. This study found that many low and moderate-income Natives in these regions are unable to afford expensive market rental housing, are ineligible for government or company accommodation or sheltered in overcrowded public housing. Premised on non-Native values and market assumptions, public and private sector housing is exclusionary and discriminates against a Native way of life, and has created the conditions in which people are polarized based on income and tenure. Given the failure of public and private sector housing to meet the shelter requirements of Natives, this thesis argues that there is a need for community-based housing alternatives. Housing co-operatives have the potential to increase security of tenure as well as the stock of decent and affordable housing, and to reduce cultural cleavages and socio-tenurial polarization through meaningful social and income-mixing. By responding to Native housing needs in such a culturally-sensitive manner, co-operatives have the potential to reduce dependencies on housing agencies and the private sector by effectively shifting control of housing to the community as a whole. Given the potential of housing co-operatives, however, this tenure has made relatively few inroads into the Northwest Territories, Alaska, and northern USSR. This study concludes that problems of implementation and affordability, privatism and inertia in housing policy, and a dependency on public and private sector housing have impeded the wider development of northern co-operatives.

Abstract:
Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) is the most important cause of serious invasive bacterial disease in young children in many countries, particularly industrialized countries. A 1986 study using PRP-D vaccine among Aboriginal infants in the Northwest Territories (N.W.T.) reported that all ethnic groups responded poorly, but the proportion of Inuit (44%) who responded with protective anti-PRP antibody levels of $\geq0.15\ \mu$/mL was smaller than that of the Dene (60%). This study was undertaken to explore possible reasons for the poorer results of the Inuit infants. Results. The results suggested that the difference between two vaccine lots and sex, and possibly age and region, were implicated in the difference between the groups. Conclusions. The research did not entirely achieve a resolution of the part which ethnicity and other factors played in Inuit response to PRP-D vaccine. The importance of the study, however, was that, by examining the data in more detail, factors other than ethnicity were identified as potentially having an effect on the poor immune response of the Inuit infants in the 1986 N.W.T. study.

Full text
Abstract:
In the late 1990s, several areas in Northwest of England were identified as suffering from social and economic deprivations with low housing demand, abandoned neighbourhoods, where local people and services have moved out. To address these problems, the HMR initiative was introduced by the Department of Communities and Local Government in 2003. Nine Pathfinders supported by the HMR Funds were established aimed at rebuilding communities through creating places where people want to live and work for the present and for future generations. This puts local communities at a centre of the programme and they should act themselves as agents for HMR. The Government has recognised that community engagement is vital to the success of the HMR process. What little written guidance is available from the Government for community engagement in the HMR process is inaccessible or unused in HMR. However, the local protests on the way that the HMR is being delivered suggest that local communities are not fully engaged, and highlights that the Pathfinders need the necessary skills for improving the engagement with local communities in the HMR process. The Egan report (which is further supported by the professionals in built environment) has recognised the need for considering new skills and ways of working in delivering sustainable communities. However, the report does not specifically address how these skills need to be allocated among different stakeholders. It also fails to describe the skills necessary to improve engagement with the communities. This study aims to critically appraise Government policies for community engagement practice in the HMR process, and investigate the skills needed for attaining the full level of community engagement in the HMR process. It explores the roles of key stakeholders and their levels of involvement in the community engagement process; barriers for attaining the full' level of community engagement; and the stakeholders' expectations from the engagement process that leads to the skills needs for improving the engagement of communities. The study applies qualitative research within a nested research methodology with two phases of case study design (an exploratory study at Elevate East Lancashire Pathfinder, Blackburn Borough Council and Bank Top; and a detailed case study in Bank Top, Blackburn). Rigorous data collection and analysis using Nvivo is employed. Research findings from the exploratory study confirm that local communities were poorly engaged in the HMR process. This stimulated a definition of the research questions. A framework for identifying the skills needed for attaining the full level of community engagement was further developed and applied for a new play area in Bank Top. Findings from the case study identify the skills needed for attaining the full level of community engagement in the HMR process aimed at consulting young people and show some engagement, but this did not really empower the community. This study generates new knowledge about the skills needs for attaining the full level of community engagement in the HMR process. This study also offers a methodological contribution that could be applied to a similar study for different community groups and different Pathfinder areas.

Abstract:
Between territories: Incremental changes to the domestic spatial interface between private and public domains. Agnieszka Wir-Konas¹, Kyung Wook Seo¹ ¹Department of Architecture and Built Environment, Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne. Newcastle City Campus, 2 Ellison Pl, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 8ST. E-mail: agnieszka.wir-konas@northumbria.ac.uk, kyung.seo@northumbria.ac.uk Keywords (3-5): building-street interface, incremental change, micro-morphology, private-public boundary, territory Conference topics and scale: Urban form and social use of space In this paper we investigate incremental changes to the relationship between private and public territory on the micro-morphological scale of the residential building-street interface. The building-street interface lies on the edge between two distinctively different spatial domains, the house and the street, and provides a buffer which may be adjusted to aid the transition from private to public territory. The structure of the space impacts both domains: it provides a fit transition from the private dwelling to the public territory, creates a space for probabilistic encounters between inhabitants and strangers, and maintains the liveability of the public street. The aim of this paper is threefold: Firstly, we recognise morphological differences in the structure of the interfaces and the way the transition from private to public territory was envisioned and designed in different societal periods. Secondly, we study incremental changes to the interface, representing individual adjustments to the private-public boundary, in order to recognize common types of adaptations to the existing structure of the interface. The history of changes to each individual building and building-street interface was traced by analysing planning applications and enforcements publicly provided by the city council. Lastly, we compare the capacity of each building-street interface to accommodate incremental change to the public-private transition. We argue that studying the incremental change of the interface and the capacity of each interface to accommodate micro-scale transformations aids in the understanding of the complex social relationship between an individual and a collective in the urban environment.

Mathewson, Andrew. "“Show-Stopper” — Effectively Managing Project Social Risks: Improved Approaches to Aboriginal Engagement and Consultation." In 2012 9th International Pipeline Conference. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/ipc2012-90145.

Full text
Abstract:
A number of proposed pipelines in western and northern Canada have highlighted critical path social risks associated with effectively engaging and consulting with impacted Aboriginal rightsholders along pipeline rights-of-way. Opening up new markets for Canada’s oil sands, shale and off-shore gas resources will require an expansion of the pipeline system in northern British Columbia, Alberta and the Northwest Territories. While navigating the regulatory approval process can be a formidable hurdle, a far greater challenge is how proponents manage the process of building relationships and consulting with affected Aboriginal communities. Failing to earn Aboriginal support for proposed projects can be a “show-stopper”. Exploration of new basins in Canada, driven by increased demand for energy in Asia, may compete with other land uses and constitutionally-protected rights and practices of indigenous peoples. Public, media and environmental response to new pipelines is often lead by the reaction of impacted communities. The task of identifying the social risks to a project, understanding the engagement process, fulfilling the regulatory consultation requirements of different jurisdictions, balancing impacts with benefits, managing issues and resolving disputes, communicating with the public and media effectively all require improved skills and approaches. The paper surveys the stakeholder engagement experience and differences in approaches for recently proposed major arctic gas and western oil pipeline projects, as well as pipelines to service Liquefied Natural Gas export facilities on the Pacific north coast, providing practical insights with possibly international application. Utilizing decision and risk analysis and scenario planning methodologies, applied to development of an Aboriginal engagement and consultation strategy, the paper examines how multi-billion dollar investments in new pipelines can be better secured by integrating stakeholder engagement into a project’s risk management design. With greater precision and improved approaches proponents can effectively manage social risks, reduce stakeholder conflict and associate project uncertainties.

Full text
Abstract:
The Cuban Revolution’s neglect of Havana (as part of a broader socialist project) simultaneously ruined and preserved its architectural and urban fabric. On one hand, Havana is crumbling, its fifty-plus year lack of maintenance inscribed on its cracked, decayed surfaces and the voids where buildings once stood; on the other, its formal urban fabric—its scale, dimensions, proportions, contrasts, continuities, solid/void relationships, rhythms, public spaces, and landscapes—remain intact. A free-market Cuba, while inevitable, leaves the city vulnerable to unsustainable urban development. And while many anticipate preservation, restoration, and urban development—particularly of Havana’s historic core (La Habana Vieja)—”business as usual” preservation practices resist rampant (read: neoliberal) development primarily through narrow strategies of exclusion (where, what, how, and why not to build), museumizing Havana as “a city frozen in time.”Seeking a third option at the intersection of this socialist/capitalist divide, this paper describes 4 student projects from THE CUBA STUDIO, a collaborative Integrative Urban Studio at Marywood University’s School of Architecture. Over the course of 16 weeks, students in THE CUBA STUDIO speculated urban futures for a post-revolutionary Havana–strategizing ways of preserving Havana’s architectural and urban fabric in the face of an emerging political and economic shift that is opening, albeit gradually, Cuba to global market forces. And rather than submitting to these forces, the work critically engages them toward socio-cultural ends. Some driving questions were: What kind of spatial politics do we deploy while retrofitting Havana? How will the social, political, and economic changes of an “open” Cuba affect Havana’s urban fabric? What role does preservation play? For that matter, what does preservation really mean and by what criteria are sites included in the preservation frame? What relationships are there (or could there be) between preservation, tourism, infrastructure, education, housing, and public space? In the process, students established systematic research agendas to reveal opportunities for integrated“soft” and “hard” interventions (i.e. siting and programing), constructing ecologies across a range of disciplinary territories including (but not limited to): architecture, urban design, historic preservation/ restoration, art, landscape urbanism, infrastructure,science + technology, economics, sustainability, urban policy, sociology, and cultural/political theory. An explicit goal of the studio was to expand and leverage“preservation” (as an idea, a discipline, and a practice) toward flexible and inclusive design strategies that frame precise architectural interventions at a range of temporal and geographic scales.

In ASME 2011 14th International Conference on Environmental Remediation and Radioactive Waste Management. ASMEDC, 2011. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/icem2011-59303.

Full text
Abstract:
Established in the 1930s, the Northern Transportation Route (NTR) served to transport pitchblende ore 2,200 km from the Port Radium Mine in Canada’s Northwest Territories to Fort McMurray in Alberta. From there, the ore was shipped 3,000 km by rail to the Town of Port Hope, Ontario, where it was refined for its radium content and used for medical purposes. Later, transport and refinement focussed on uranium. The corridor of lakes, rivers, portages and roads that made up the NTR included a number of transfer points, where ore was unloaded and transferred to other barges or trucks. Ore was occasionally spilled during these transfer operations and, in some cases, subsequently distributed over larger areas as properties were re-developed or modified. In addition, relatively small volumes of ore were sometimes transported by air to the south. Since 1991, the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Office (LLRWMO), working with communities and its consulting contractors, has conducted surveys to identify and characterize spill sites along the NTR where soils exhibit elevated concentrations of uranium, radium and/or arsenic. In addition to significant areas of impact in Fort McMurray, contamination along the NTR was centred in the Sahtu region near Great Bear Lake and along the southern part of the Slave River. Early radiological investigations found contaminated buildings and soil and occasionally discrete pieces of pitchblende ore at many transfer points and storage areas along the NTR. Where possible, survey work was undertaken in conjunction with property redevelopment activity requiring the relocation of impacted soils (e.g., at Tulita, Fort Smith, Hay River, and Fort McMurray). When feasible to consolidate contaminated material locally, it was placed into Long Term Management Facilities developed to manage and monitor the materials over extended timelines. Radiological activity generated by these engineered facilities are generally below thresholds established by Canadian regulators, meaning they are straightforward to maintain, with minor environmental and community impacts. Securing community acceptance for these facilities is critical, and represents the predominant development component of plans for managing ore-impacted soils. In those circumstances where local consolidation is not achievable, materials have been relocated to disposal facilities outside of the region. The LLRWMO is continuing a program of public consultation, technical evaluation and environmental assessment to develop management plans for the remaining ore-impacted sites on the NTR. This paper will highlight current activities and approaches applied for the responsible management of uranium and radium mining legacies.

Full text
Abstract:
Assessment and development of pipeline projects in northern Canada, such as the proposed Mackenzie Valley gas pipeline (MGP), are hampered by a lack of baseline terrain geoscience information including drift thickness, sediment type, presence of massive ground ice, and the availability of granular aggregate resources. Clearly there is a need by Industry, Regulators, Aboriginal groups, and others, to understand the nature and character of near-surface earth materials, in order that pipeline proposals can be properly developed, evaluated, and when approved, proceed with the greatest degree of environmental sustainability and economic efficiency. While numerous field-based reports and surficial geology maps have been prepared for the MGP, there are long stretches along the proposed route for which little near-surface geoscience information is available. This is even more apt for areas outside the defined MGP corridor, where the likelihood of tie-in and gathering pipeline systems exist. Drillers’ logs, recorded during auger drilling of seismic shotholes, represent a virtually untapped resource of regional baseline geoscience information. The Geological Survey of Canada recently produced a digital archive of 76,000 shothole records from the Northwest Territories and Yukon, which had originally been collected on file cards in response to the 1970’s MGP proposal. Released in 2007 as a freely downloadable Open File report (#5465), the archive provides users with an Access database of drillers’ logs and derivative GIS maps in which shapefiles of drift isopach thickness, potential granular aggregate resources, geohazards, permafrost and ground ice occurrences, and muskeg thickness can be opened, viewed, and queried, or otherwise incorporated into GIS platforms of the user’s choice. Realizing the amount of additional archival shothole information held by Industry, and the great utility of bringing this forth in a public database and derivative GIS, a subsequent project has focused on capturing and integrating additional data. Receiving near-universal support by the Petroleum Industry, a Version 2 of the database and GIS is currently being assembled, and is scheduled for release in 2009 with some quarter million individual shothole drillers’ records. This presentation highlights the nature, character and distribution of shothole drillers’ logs in northern Canada. It also reviews the derived GIS layers, and how this baseline geoscience information can be beneficially utilized by the Pipeline and related infrastructure development industries, particularly as it may apply to focusing future field studies. It also serves as a key reference tool for those assessing pipeline development proposals.

Abstract:
The Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals (GEM) program provided an opportunity to update bedrock geological maps for nearly 92 000 km2 of the northwestern portion of the mainland area of the Northwest Territories. Twenty-four new maps (at the scale of 1:100 000 or 1:250 000) cover a region from the Colville Hills southwestward into the Mackenzie Mountains, including areas of significant mineral and energy resource potential. New mapping was informed by archived Geological Survey of Canada data, notably from Operation Norman (1968-1970), as well as by public-domain industry data. Maps incorporate numerous stratigraphic revisions that postdate Operation Norman, including GEM program innovations affecting Neoproterozoic (specifically Tonian and Ediacaran), Cambrian, and Ordovician units. In this paper, the mapping effort and stratigraphic revisions are documented, a preliminary treatment of structural geology is provided, and related subsurface studies are summarized. Following GEM, GIS-enabled bedrock maps will be available for a swath of territory stretching from the edge of the Selwyn Basin, near the Yukon border, to the Brock Inlier in the northeastern portion of the mainland area of the Northwest Territories.
