DESCRIPTION:The Wabun Model and approach to company-community collaboration
  on exploration and mining projects has been recognized throughout Ontario
 \, and across Canada. Their unique approach provides effective and organiz
 ed support to First Nations communities who are engaging in negotiations a
 nd partnerships with exploration and mining companies in the Timmins area.
  In turn\, this support is felt by mining companies too\, as they gain a c
 lear understanding on local expectations of them\, their behaviour and the
 ir economic contributions while exploring in the area. \n\nActing as a gui
 de and convener\, the Wabun Tribal Council provides a fair and consistent 
 process for on-going consultation as outlined in numerous exploration agre
 ements. WTC also support their member Nations by facilitates meetings\, ne
 gotiations and providing streamlined processes to help bring companies and
  communities together. The model allows parties to build long-term\, mutua
 lly beneficial partnerships and meaningful engagement protocols. \n\nThis 
 session features the perspectives of the Wabun Tribal Council’s Member Nat
 ions\, junior mining companies and First Nations community members in the 
 Timmins area who have worked jointly through the Wabun Model to negotiate 
 and implement exploration-related agreements (EAs and MOUs). \n\n(This ses
 sion is part of both the Indigenous and Sustainability Programs)
