Grant Overview
Alberta's Athabasca River is facing significant environmental health risks due to oil sands development, with local Indigenous communities being disproportionately affected. The barrier to addressing these risks is the lack of capacity for community-led research, with many Indigenous communities lacking the resources and infrastructure to conduct their own environmental monitoring. Who Faces this Barrier in Alberta? Local Indigenous communities, who have traditionally relied on the Athabasca River for their livelihood, are particularly affected by the environmental health risks associated with oil sands development. The Athabasca River is a critical component of Alberta's ecosystem, supporting a diverse range of plant and animal species. The funding opportunity supports capacity building for community-led research, enabling local Indigenous communities to take a more active role in environmental monitoring and decision-making. Alberta's Unique Context: A Key Consideration. Unlike British Columbia, Alberta's oil sands development is a major driver of environmental health risks, requiring a tailored approach to addressing these risks. How Funding Addresses the Barrier. The funding will provide up to $20,000 to support capacity building initiatives that enable local Indigenous communities to conduct their own environmental monitoring. By building the capacity of Indigenous communities, this funding opportunity aims to promote transparency and inform policy decisions that affect Alberta's environmental management efforts. The grant will prioritize projects that demonstrate a clear understanding of the Athabasca River's environmental health risks and the need for community-led research.
