Horse Lake First Nation Fee for Service Model
The Horse Lake First Nation Industry Relations Corporation (HLFN IRC) will serve as a
one contact/one window to streamline the exchange of information, communication,
interaction, and relationship-building requisite for adequate and appropriate consultation
to occur. It will negotiate agreements mitigate adverse impacts to HLFN Traditional
Territory , to identify and accommodate HLFN members' issues, and to ensure that HLFN
benefits positively from capacity building, economic development, revenue sharing, and
joint venture opportunities.
The role and functions of HLFN IRC are congruent with the Chipewyan Prairie Dene
First Nation Industry Relations Corporation Fee-for-Service model, vis a vis interaction
with proponents of proposed industrial development projects mandated by the
Government of Alberta to consult with HLFN prior to commencing construction.
The Fee-for-Service model encapsulates those activities required to complete resource
development consultation in the manner approved by HLFN, such as:
Fee-for-Service Assessment and Consultation Work Plan Development
Public Disclosure Input/Review (if applicable)
Terms of Reference Input/Review (if applicable)
Application Review
EIA Input/Review (including technical expertise, as required)
Sites & Areas Assessment
Coordination of Community Engagement and Participation
Issues Report and Resolution
Submission of Letter of Support or Objection
The HLFN IRC Director will make all arrangements, subject to adequate resources being
made available by the developer, to engage Elders and Trappers, Chief and Council, and
to have Band members participate in economic development and/or capacity building
opportunities
The Crown or its appointed representative will provide resources to HLFN to allow it to
meaningfully participate in the consultation process.

Walpole Island First Nation Approach to Funding
WIFN has found through experience that to thoroughly understand the implications of a
project it is necessary for adequate resources to be provided to the First Nation to enable it
to participate effectively in the consultation and review process. These resources required
are related to both internal and external activities to the community that take place, e.g.,
