About the Role:

The Lands, Resources and Consultations (LRC) Branch works towards the goals of the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) by protecting Métis rights and helping Métis protect and preserve the lands and waters within Métis traditional territories. The Mining Consultation Advisor provides technical advice to the MNO's Regional Consultation Committees (RCCs), staff, legal council, and citizens to support the Crown's Duty to Consult and Accommodate and/or engage with external organizations on lands and resources matters of concern to Métis communities.

This involves undertaking technical analyses of project plans undertaking research, identifying opportunities to support the work, acting as a resource in community information sessions, and supporting Métis leadership in their relationships with industry representatives, representatives of regulatory and government agencies and other organizations. As the role involves liaising with industry, Consultation Advisors may also assist with regional economic development work, if needed. The Consultation Advisor reports to a Manager in the LRC branch.

The Mining Advisor reports to the LRC Manager for Mining and, where required, to the Director of the Branch, on all exploration and mining-related issues and initiatives.

Under the direction of the Managers in the LRC Branch, the Mining Advisor will support the Duty to Consult and Accommodate by technically reviewing mining plans, permits, and documents concerning exploration, mining, and mine rehabilitation processes and policies, and help prepare MNO's comments and educational opportunities as they relate to the potential impact of exploration, mining and rehabilitation operations on Métis rights and concerns of Métis communities,



including comments on permits and Closure Plans post-approval.

The Mining Advisor will technically analyze documents, keep records and provide comment on legislation, regulations, policy that impact Métis rights. The Advisor will assist in the identification of mitigation measures that reduce the negative impacts of projects on the community. The Advisor may also support activities that promote regional Metis economic development, if these opportunities arise as part of the consultation and accommodation process, such as organizing meetings that advance contract- and job opportunities for local Metis.
