dc.description.abstractPublic concerns over climate change and its associated impacts have significantly increased scrutiny of the Canadian pipeline industry. Pipeline projects proposed in environmentally sensitive areas, such as Enbridge’s Northern Gateway Pipeline and TransCanada’s recently filed Energy East Pipeline, have created concerns for local species and their habitats. These concerns have led to increased regulatory demand, having a significant impact on the cost, schedule, and public perception of proposed pipeline projects in Canada. Despite conducting extensive environmental and socioeconomic impact assessments, and implementing subsequent mitigation measures specifically tailored to species at risk, oil and gas transportation companies continue to face challenges in obtaining regulatory approvals and securing favourable public opinion for proposed pipeline projects. This project will investigate the impacts of species at risk listed under the Canadian Species at Risk Act (SARA) and the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada’s (COSEWIC) on the (environmental, regulatory, and socio-economic) development of pipeline projects in Canada.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
