Independent Environmental Monitoring Agency

Welcome to the Agency's website!

The Independent Environmental Monitoring Agency (IEMA) is a public watchdog for environmental management of the BHP Billiton Ekati™ Diamond Mine, located approximately 310 km northeast of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. We were established under the Environmental Agreement negotiated in 1997. We consist of Directors appointed by our Society Members as well as staff and an office in Yellowknife.

The Environmental Agreement is a legal instrument to ensure BHP Billiton and the governments of Canada and the Northwest Territories respect and protect land, water, wildlife and the land-based way of life essential to the well-being of Aboriginal Peoples.

We intend for our website to be a valuable tool to help us meet our mandate by providing public access to Ekati-related information.

Please contact us if you have any questions or comments.
