2024年10月31日 - 8:00PM
The Cree Hunters Economic Security Board
(“
CHESB”), and 16 mining and exploration companies
are pleased to announce their voluntary financial contribution
totalling $ 750,000 in the Reconstruction Initiative Forest Fires
Fund 2023 (“
RIFF”). The RIFF has been created for
the reconstruction of cabins that were burned in the aftermath of
extensive damage caused by the wildfires in 2023 in the Eeyou
Istchee James Bay territory of Quebec, Canada.
The RIFF is a partnership between the CHESB, the
mining industry and the Eeyou Istchee James Bay communities. The
RIFF will allow, starting in 2025, the reconstruction of burnt
cabins and complement the work underway on the most impacted
traplines by the Cree Trappers’ Association. According to the
information collected by CNG Forestry, 11% of the land and nearly
60% of the traplines have been affected by the 2023 forest fires
over the territory.
Normand Champigny, Chief Executive Officer of
Quebec Precious Metals Corporation says: “After I flew over the
territory where our company explores and saw the devastation caused
by the fires, I realized that something had to be done. I am
delighted that The CHESB and so many companies have accepted to
contribute to this initiative. We hope that many other
organizations will contribute.”
Serge Larivière, Director General of the CHESB
says his Cree and Quebec Board Members are proud to support this
initiative: “The heart of Cree traditional activities is the base
camp – and without a place to stay in the bush, it is difficult for
Cree hunters to practice traditional activities. We are proud to
join forces and help with the management and the funding of this
important initiative!”
Allan House, Chief Financial Officer/ Interim
Chief Executive Officer at the Cree Trappers’ Association says:
“Eeyou Cultural and Language are strongly connected when our people
are out on the lands of Eeyou Istchee and having a place/ home in
the heart of Eeyou Istchee is an essential need for our people and
our hunting grounds is our home.”
The CHESB will contribute $ 400,000 and provide
administrative support. Newmont Éléonore will contribute $ 50,000
and each of the 15 following companies will contribute $
20,000.
