Diavik has a robust communities portfolio to ensure that our impacted communities are informed and trusted partners in the success of our operation. The Diavik Traditional Knowledge Panel has been in place since 2012 as a resource for developing and providing recommendations on a variety of operational and closure details. The Panel is comprised of a male elder, a female elder and a youth from each of the five Participation Agreement communities and, to date, have made 194 recommendations.
Diavik will present on the benefits and opportunities that are created when we utilize traditional knowledge in our operations.
