Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA+)
The assessment for the Project includes a Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA+) Study.
The purpose of this study is to identify potential social impacts (positive and negative) from the perspectives and lived experiences of underrepresented groups. Questions asked during the interviews were centered around these themes:
- Opportunities and barriers that exist to participation in mining
- Challenges members face living in nearby mining towns in relation to housing supply & affordability, childcare access, cost of living, and racism
- Safety issues for Indigenous / First Nations women, children, and two-spirited individuals
- Any suggestions on what mining companies could do to improve the participation / reduce barriers in the mining industry
