Project Description
Funded by Indigenous Services Canada, the Waste Management Partnership Development Program (PDP) is an interactive capacity-building program focused on building positive relationships and establishing partnerships between First Nations and their neighbouring municipalities to support improved solid waste management. PDP establishes joint working groups between First Nations and Municipal governments and provides neutral third-party facilitation of those meetings to assist in the regionalization of solid waste management in Manitoba. A key method of achieving this is at the community-level is through the development of mutually-beneficial long-term solid waste service agreements between First Nations and neighbouring municipalities.
Pine Creek First Nation and the Metis communities of Duck Bay and Camperville have formed a partnership with the objective of finding regional solutions to waste management problems in each respective community. The three communities have formed a regional working group to jointly address local solid waste management to allow each community to share information, pool resources to address common issues, and establish a relationship foundation for future planning and cooperative efforts. The Centre for Indigenous Environmental Resources provided the working group with neutral facilitation for approximately ten working group meetings that led up to the decision to develop local transfer stations.
