PDAC – Social Impact Study
PDAC was inspired to undertake a Social Impact Study after reading recommendations made to the industry in the final report of the National Inquiry into Missing Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (“MMIWG”). One section in particular spoke directly to the social impacts and subsequent demands on social infrastructure that go hand in hand with mineral resource development projects in Canada, specifically within host Indigenous communities. In keeping with their desire to support widespread advancements within the sector, PDAC engaged SOOP Strategies Inc. to undertake the Social Impact Study and create practical recommendations from their findings.
