Engagement, Traditional Knowledge, and Environmental Assessment. Notes from the Field

Leslie J. (Butch) Amundson  B.A., M.A., RPA
Principal/Technical Lead Aboriginal Affairs & Heritage Resources, Saskatchewan

Butch will share insights gained through his experiences with engagement and traditional knowledge studies from the perspective of a 30 year career in environmental assessment.  He will talk about the balancing act of maintaining objectivity in the assessment process while trying to meet competing interests from communities, proponents and project managers.

This event is a brown-bag lunch and learn, so please bring your own lunch, or please support the local in-house restaurant, Skye Cafe and Bistro (check out their menu here).

This event will be live via web conference in Regina in the IMAX Boardroom at the Saskatchewan Science Centre, 2903 Powerhouse Drive (enter through the IMAX Theatre).
