Social Justice Ministry Submissions, R.C. Diocese of Mackenzie-Fort Smith (R.C. Diocese of Mackenzie-Fort Smith, 1989 to 1996)
This multi-part document comprises submissions to government bodies on northern economic development and the proposed Ekati Diamond Mine, spanning 1989-1996. The Diocese of Mackenzie-Fort Smith argues for an economy based on self-reliance, renewable resources, and community control, while critiquing both the inadequacies of wage-dependent development and the foundation of the SCONE report, then later presenting ethical concerns about the BHP Diamond Mine project including inadequate community consultation, environmental risks, and impacts on families and women.
