I am a recent graduate from Memorial University in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, where I was supervised by Dr. Arn Keeling and supported by the Toward Environmentally Responsible Resource Extraction Network (TERRE-NET). My research focused on Northern and Indigenous experiences with mineral development, and specifically the relationships between mine companies and Inuit communities, and how these two parties might work together to produce mine closure plans that go beyond the minimal legal requirements set by provincial and federal governments to meet more complex social, economic, cultural, and ecological needs and values of communities. I will be presenting the results of my Masters research, which looked at mine closure plans from across the North to understand what companies are doing to ensure communities are involved in closure planning, as well as how the Quebec government regulates mine closure.
