Agency Communications Plan
As part of our mandate, the Agency stores, distributes and makes information about environmental management at the Ekati mine available to Aboriginal Peoples and the general public. We also pass on people's questions and concerns about the mine to BHPB and the Governments of Canada and the Northwest Territories.
In an effort to improve our communications with Aboriginal Peoples and the general public, the Agency has developed a Communications Plan. The Communications Plan is based on input from our Society Members and external reviews conducted in 2000 and 2009. It summarizes our current communications initiatives and key messages, defines our communications objectives and outcomes, and looks at our options for improving our communication tools. The Plan helps us to evaluate the effectiveness of our communications, respond to suggestions, and focus on the right priorities.

Report on Revegetation Sustainability Criteria
The Agency commissioned David Polster (Polster Environmental Services, Duncan, BC) to prepare a report to better inform the Agency Directors and staff about how to begin to measure the sustainability of revegetation as part of mine closure planning.

Independent External Review
Periodically, the Agency has contracted an independent external review of the Agency's performance in meeting our mandate. These reviews have highlighted the Agency's strengths, particularly with regard to technical reviews and submissions, and offered suggestions on ways to improve our consultation and communications efforts.
