Who We Are
The Fort McKay Sustainability Department (FMSD) is dedicated to preserving Fort McKay First Nation’s way of life through maintaining the Nation’s ability to exercise its Treaty, Section 35, and Inherent Rights and traditional land use practices, while working with industry and government to pursue responsible resource development.
The FMSD leads and oversees consultation and engagement between Fort McKay and the oil sands and resource development industries who operate within Fort McKay’s Traditional Territory. This includes consulting on major project applications, monitoring regulatory compliance and approvals, and establishing environmental commitments through impact benefit agreement. The FMSD manages government relations associated with resource development including policy development and project operations, closure and reclamation.
To fulfill its mandate, the FMSD conducts expert technical reviews, engages community members, and participates in consultation on major project applications and submissions filed by industry to federal and provincial regulators. The FMSD also consults with federal, provincial and local governments on their environmental and resource development policies. Additionally, the FMSD leads and participates in research projects to address specific community needs.
Working closely with the community, FMSD staff advocate for members’ concerns, identify gaps in government policy, and recommends changes to ensure the sustainability of traditional lands for future generations.
