SUSTAINABILITY
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Northcliff has a proactive approach to community engagement. The Company has been engaging with project stakeholders and First Nations since 2010 to provide project updates and early notification of work programs, to better understand local priorities and concerns, and to discuss potential economic opportunities that could be derived from mine development.
​
In 2017, Sisson Partnership entered into a Cooperation Agreement with Woodstock First Nation. The Cooperation Agreement provides Woodstock First Nation with various economic opportunities and financial benefits and provides a long term framework for communication and cooperation between the parties.
The Province of New Brunswick signed an Accommodation Agreement with the six Maliseet First Nations of the Province in 2017, providing the Maliseet First Nations with a share of provincial revenues from the Sisson Project.
