McIntyre Ballroom


  • Speaker: Nicole Charbonneau & Charley Goheen
  • Company Name: Wabun Tribal Council

Wabun Tribal Council is a dynamic community-driven organization that is committed to providing quality services to its member First Nations through innovative and culturally appropriate programming. Both Nicole and Charley will introduce Wabun Tribal Council's mining approach and will proudly introduce 5 community organizations that have directly benefited from their relationships with the mining sector. 

The goal is to facilitate dialogue between First Nations and resource developers to encourage meaningful relationships that deliver results to all parties. Our position is that agreements are mandatory. They ensure socio-economic deliverables to our First Nations, which have been – for too long – at the margins of development taking place within their traditional and treaty lands.

Wabun has successfully helped negotiate: + 60 Exploration Agreements with prospectors, junior exploration companies, and producers.+ 8 Impact Benefit Agreements.
