This report was prepared in support of Fort McMurray First Nation #468’s (FMFN#468’s) participation at the regulatory hearings for Shell Canada Energy’s (Shell’s) Jackpine Mine Expansion and Pierre River Mine projects. As can be seen in Figure 1, both of the proposed projects are within the northern reaches of FMFN #468’s traditional lands.1 This report provides a description of existing effects and disturbance in FMFN #468’s territory, and of how Shell’s two proposed developments – the Jackpine Mine Expansion (JPMX) and Pierre River Mine (PRM) – are situated within FMFN #468’s known and recorded traditional land use (TLU).
