Call for Expressions of Interest: IAMC-TMX Indigenous Monitoring Program

Good afternoon,

The Indigenous Advisory and Monitoring Committee for the Trans Mountain Expansion (IAMC-TMX) is intended to form the basis of a new relationship between Indigenous communities, the Government of Canada and the National Energy Board.

IAMC-TMX is implementing an Indigenous Monitoring Program, in which IAMC-TMX Indigenous Monitors will participate in inspections, site visits, and compliance verification of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, should it proceed, with federal regulators including the National Energy Board and Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

At this time, the Committee is seeking expressions of interest from eligible communities or organizations interested in partnering with the Committee to continue to develop and deliver the Indigenous Monitoring Program and employ Indigenous Monitors.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a ground-breaking initiative that is creating the foundations of long-term partnerships between Indigenous communities and federal regulators. The Committee is looking for strategic and creative partners to build on the framework developed and lessons learned through the Committee’s pilot project, in which Indigenous Monitors participated with regulators in inspections and emergency management activities from December 2017 to November 2018.

The Committee intends to partner with several of the 129 Indigenous communities potentially impacted by Trans Mountain activities (as listed in Appendix A of IAMC-TMX Terms of Reference) or their affiliated organizations, corporations, and partnerships.

If your community or organization is interested in partnering with the Committee on the IAMC-TMX Indigenous Monitoring Program, please review the attached full call document, complete the attached Expression of Interest Form, and send it to nrcan.tmxcommittee-rncan.comitetmx@canada.ca by March 13, 2019, 11:59 pm PST.

Please contact us at any time to discuss the IAMC-TMX Indigenous Monitoring Program, how the Committee can support your community or organization’s priorities through the IAMC-TMX Capacity Funding Program, or the Committee’s activities.

Best regards,

Indigenous Advisory and Monitoring Committee

Today, we honour and remember the Indigenous women, girls, gender-diverse, and 2-Spirit people who continue to go missing and are murdered at an alarming and disproportionate rate. Marine monitoring has become a new form of protection in the face of increased TMX tanker traffic, which has risen from four ships per month to over 30, as well as other vessels crossing our territorial waters. These waters carry more than tankers and ships; they hold the safety of our communities. By monitoring these waters, we help safeguard our lands and people—especially women, girls, and gender-diverse individuals. On this National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Gender Diverse People (MMIWG2S+), we highlight the connection between protecting our waters and protecting our people and communities. #SistersInSpirit #MMIWG2S

On May 05, the IAMC-TMX is observing Red Dress Day, also known as the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2S). The IAMC-TMX Socioeconomic Subcommittee is collaborating with Natural Resources Canada, the lead department for UNDA Action Plan Measure 12, to better understand and respond to the ongoing gendered and racialized violence against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people associated with the resource sector. On this important day, we encourage all Canadians to continue educating themselves about the MMIWG Calls for Justice and support MMIWG events in their local area.
