OIL, GAS AND FIRST NATIONS – CREATING JOBS WHERE THEY ARE NEEDED

by David Yager

T

he most valuable, but rarely acknowledged, advantage of the petroleum industry is its ability to create jobs and economic opportunities for Canada’s First Nations where they live.

existence to industrialization and urbanization is China, today called the workshop of the world.

This should be important to anyone who says anything about the need for more opportunities for Indigenous Canadians.

In 1871 only 18 per cent of the population was classified as urban. By 1921 it was already up to 47 per cent. In 1971 it had risen to 65, nearly two-thirds. The 2021 census reveals that over 82 per cent of Canadians lived in urban centres.

The old saying goes, “Oil and gas is where you find it.” Production and support infrastructure follows and is, by necessity, close by. Pipelines to carry hydrocarbons from source to market take the shortest possible distance. This is a simple fact of safety and economics.

The oil and gas industry has been interacting with First Nations communities for decades.

They share the same geography. Therefore, they share the same opportunities.

Please think this through.

Having to dislocate yourself and your family and move elsewhere to become self-sufficient through gainful employment and fulfilling careers is reality in today’s world.

Since the Industrial Revolution centuries ago, there has been a continuous migration of people and families from the land to cities where the jobs are.

The most significant transformation of a large economy from a rural, agrarian, live-off-the-land

The same phenomenon has been occurring in Canada for 150 years. But it gets less attention.

Conversely, only 17.8 per cent of Canadians live in what is defined as a rural environment.

Through the reserve structure, First Nations are primarily rural by law. Here’s your land. That’s where you live. Make a go of it.

There are three key factors that make the current situation unfair and colonial.

The first is that urban voters now dominate Canadian politics and governments and shape public opinion and policy. They view the world through their own lives and experiences.

Sixty-five per cent of Canada’s population lives in urban centres of 100,000 or more in Atlantic Canada, Quebec, Ontario, the lower mainland of B.C., and on Vancouver Island.

Political parties can win majority governments without electing a single MP in the oil and gas producing regions of western Canada.

Oil, Gas and First Nations – Creating Jobs Where They Are Needed | David Yager

Second, there is a romantic but outdated view of the how Indigenous people should primarily be stewards of the land. But they also have to live off the land. Nobody who lives in the city understands how significantly this shortens the list of opportunities.

Demographics prove that fewer people want a rural lifestyle.

The third is that if First Nations people want to remain in place and do what they can with what land they have, urban society also decides for them what activities and industries are permitted.

Driven by fears of climate change, big-city Canada believes oil and gas development is bad for the world. Less is better. Canada’s Indigenous people are expected to understand and support that.

For urbanites opposed to fossil fuels, First Nations have frequently become unwilling participants.

Too many speak for Indigenous Canadians, but not to them. They certainly never ask.

The growing chorus of First Nations that support oil and gas development are ignored as politicians, environmentalists and lobbyists focus on what they think they should do, not what they want or need.

Perhaps if more people understood how the oilpatch works, they would realize why oil and gas development is a great opportunity for anybody who doesn’t want to live in a big city or move away from where they live to find work.

Oil, Gas and First Nations Creating Jobs Where They are Needed

First Nations

What they think First Nations communities should do and how they should live their lives shapes federal policy. Advice without consideration and consultation is routine.

David Yager | Oil, Gas and First Nations – Creating Jobs Where They Are Needed

Surely there are at least a few common facts everyone can agree upon.

There is minimal employment in the early stages of oil and gas exploration. But once a commercial discovery is put on production, having people live in the area to manage the ongoing operations and keep the oil and gas flowing is essential.

Most of the so-called “oil towns” of western Canada were created or grew to support production. Communities like Swan Hills, Drayton Valley, High Level, Fox Creek, Whitecourt, Rocky Mountain House, Fort McMurray, Bonnyville, Lloydminster exist or are much larger than they would be otherwise because they have producing assets – wells, pipelines, gas plants, oil batteries, storage tanks and other infrastructure – in close proximity.

These types of businesses are very attractive for First Nations investment and employment. They involve everything to keep production going to supporting the population that comprises the workforce.

The easiest way to understand what these companies do is to review what they don’t do.

They don’t conceive, own, finance and build major pipelines or processing facilities. They don’t own pipe or valve manufacturing plants, build drilling rigs, operate giant hydraulic fracturing spreads, develop sophisticated downhole and surface measurement instruments or control technologies, or manufacture trucks and construction equipment.

Exploration and initial development activities are capital intensive, one-time and up front. The core vendors and contractors come in early then leave. Developing a new field or project can take one to five years.

But once producing, the business mix changes significantly and remains stable for the life of the field.

For many of the legacy producing fields in Alberta, this now exceeds 50 years of steady

employment and business activity. The giant Pembina oilfield was discovered in 1953. It will celebrate its 70th anniversary next year.

Once on production, local businesses with local staff do everything. The work is more labour than capital intensive. This includes construction companies, maintenance and repair services, trucking and transportation, hotels and restaurants, and local offices for specialized oilfield service and equipment supply companies.

These are the types of businesses ideal for First Nations participation. And this is hardly a new idea. Existing First Nations companies that sustain and support oil and gas production are significant and growing.

Today, Indigenous oil and gas service and supply companies are one of the fastest growing segments of this sector.

In November 2021, MNP and ATB Financial released a joint report titled: “Reporting on the Economic Contribution of Indigenous Peoples in Alberta.”

It contains a detailed analysis of Alberta’s First Nations businesses already in existence and the opportunities that greater participation in the private sector could create in terms of jobs, incomes and economic contribution to the province.

In 2019, Indigenous-owned companies accounted for two per cent of Alberta’s GDP. This is about 88 per cent of the province’s better understood and publicized tourism sector, regularly touted as a key element of the economy.

The report indicated that the 22 per cent of Indigenous-owned businesses were in construction.

The figure is only 11 per cent for the province.

And what are they building? Not high rises, highways or residential housing. They’re working on oil and gas production sites building locations, maintaining roads and plowing snow to keep the industry going.

Oil, Gas and First Nations – Creating Jobs Where They Are Needed | David Yager

The next category was professional, scientific and technical services. This accounted for 20 per cent of all Indigenous-owned businesses and comprised only 13 per cent of the provincial total.

The most lopsided was in mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction. While the official number is that only two per cent of Alberta businesses fall into this category, 15 per cent of Indigenous-owned businesses work in this sector.

MNP and ATB write: “Compared with the overall distribution of businesses in Alberta, Indigenous-owned businesses are more likely to be involved in goods-producing industries such as construction and resource extraction, and less likely to be involved in service-producing industries or agriculture.”

What this report also reveals is where Indigenous Albertans live and what business takes place in their area. These companies are big in supporting the oil and gas industry because that is the type of industrial activity that is taking place nearby. Service-producing industries are urban because that’s where the most people live.

This significant participation of First Nations in the nuts and bolts of Alberta’s oilpatch has nothing to do with the genius policies of the federal government, or the army of urbanites offering lots of unsolicited advice on behalf of Indigenous Canadians.

Success in creating direct First Nations employment and business participation has three foundations.

First, an oil and gas industry that wants and needs to work with local communities and citizens and does so successfully all over the world. It’s not public relations, but necessity. This industry has upgraded the skills, education, training, incomes and opportunities of Indigenous people all over world.

Second, these jobs and opportunities are ideal because they are created where Indigenous Canadians live. Why can’t the urban advice-dispensers let these people do what they want where they want to do it?

Third, with every generation, Canada’s First Nations wish to participate in the modern economy, not watch it.

And when it comes to investing and working in the petroleum industry, they are getting very B good at it! OE

Bouchier Building Strong Business Through Indigenous Partnerships

BY RENNAY CRAATS

B

ouchier is more than a highly respected integrated site services company in northern Alberta; it’s an organization committed to strengthening the sustainability of the oil sands region through local procurement, employment, community investment and cultural support. Bouchier offers a quality product while helping build up local Indigenous communities and supporting Indigenous entrepreneurs.

David Bouchier started Bouchier in Fort McKay in 1998 and held down a full-time job while launching it. He became established with CNRL’s Horizon project and as Horizon grew, he saw an opportunity to grow alongside it.

“In 2004, Bouchier went into full-time operations, and that’s when both Dave and I left our full-time jobs and jumped into Bouchier with both feet,” says Nicole Bourque-Bouchier, CEO and co-owner of Bouchier.

What began as contracting for civil earthworks projects and road maintenance has grown into a fully integrated service provider with more than 400 pieces of equipment, fulfilling longstanding contracts with all the major suppliers for civil maintenance and construction, facility maintenance and project management. It boasts the expertise to design, engineer, execute, manage and maintain projects as well as the creativity to tailor solutions to individual projects.

Bouchier has loyal and long-standing clients including CNRL (a client for nearly 20+yrs). Current contracts include multi-year roads and grounds commitment with the Rural Municipality of Wood Buffalo, Suncor Energy and Imperial Oil. The company also provides dorm renovations and facility maintenance at major oil sands’ sites and most recently Bouchier completed a critical research project with Syncrude on clean water return to treat water from tailings.

The company has grown exponentially, necessitating a move into a larger Fort McKay office, and it aims to double in the next five years.

Given its reputation for exceptional customizable turn-key projects and solid relationships with clients, this is definitely attainable.

Bouchier acts more as a valued partner than a contractor, and it has established itself as a partner to the Indigenous community.

The Bouchiers are deeply connected to their communities, with David being Fort McKay First Nation and Nicole being a member of the Mikisew Cree First Nation, and it was a priority for them to create a diverse company.

“As a local born-and-raised Fort McKay First Nation member, I am extremely proud of the growth of Bouchier to include 1,000 employees, with 40 per cent fellow Indigenous employees from all over Canada,” says David Bouchier, founder, president and co-owner of Bouchier.

Indigenous values are foundational at Bouchier and the family’s values, guided by the Seven Sacred Teachings, shape the company. These traditions exemplify the basis of a happy and balanced life and are an important part of the values that remind the Bouchiers to remain connected to staff, clients and the land. The teachings highlight love, respect, honesty, courage, wisdom, humility and truth, and they guide the team toward building wahkohtowin – community and family.

The organization’s Indigenous story has evolved over the years, and the Bouchiers abandoned their early efforts to get along as just another non-Indigenous company and instead have drawn attention to the amazing work Bouchier is doing onsite and in the community with Indigenous owners at the helm.

“Maybe it’s because of truth and reconciliation, but we feel that the time is now to be changing that outlook and bringing TRC into our organization – really being proud of who we are as Indigenous owners and an Indigenous company and starting to tell that story more,” says Bourque-Bouchier.

The result is a company culture of family, respect, inclusivity and professional pride that educates about Indigenous culture and dynamics.

Employees are carefully selected to align with that culture, and Bouchier has a target of 45 per cent Indigenous staff and continually brings on more Indigenous contractors and suppliers.

Bouchier is blessed with long-time partners and long-tenured employees who are invested in the company’s success, and the company is invested in staff too with its strong safety focus.

“In our backyard, you are only as good as your safety record, and I am proud that we send people back to their families safe at the end of each shift. For three years in a row, we have achieved one million hours recordable injury free.

This is a team effort and doesn’t happen without a great family-based culture,” says Bouchier.

Family is key at Bouchier, and caring for family extends beyond staff and into the community.

The company strives to help however it can, supporting key organizations within Wood Buffalo from youth recreation programs to culture and community initiatives to lifting barriers through female empowerment in order to help the community grow.

Through hard work, a quality product and a diversity that promotes Indigenous partnership in business, Bouchier has become one of Canada’s leading Indigenous companies. The family plans to expands beyond its Wood Buffalo backyard and into other provinces to bring this unique model to other communities in the future.

A PATH OUT OF POVERTY THE NATIONAL COALITION OF CHIEFS’ DALE SWAMPY ON WHY NATURAL RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT IS KEY FOR FIRST NATIONS PROSPERITY

by Melanie Darbyshire

T

here exists a persistent view, held by large portions of the Canadian public and government, that First Nation communities in Canada are largely opposed to oil and gas development. That they want nothing to do with it because of environmental, social and other factors. That their opposition is unequivocal when it comes to developing natural resources.

This view is patently wrong, as previous issues of this publication have demonstrated. Many Indigenous communities are in fact energy industry-supportive and pro-development. With the goal of defeating on-reserve poverty, they not only support oil and gas development, they want to be a part of that development. They want a seat at the table.

Such is the mandate of the National Coalition of Chiefs (NCC), an organization of First Nation Chiefs from coast to Canadian coast, formed in 2017 in response to the federal government’s cancellation of the Northern Gateway pipeline.

Its goal is to end the poverty crisis and social despair that currently exist in First Nation communities across Canada, by creating mutually-beneficial relationships among First Nations and energy industry leadership.

“Unfortunately, we’ve got this environmental movement that is spreading a lot of disinformation and it’s not only hurting the natural resource industry, it’s hurting First Nations,” laments Dale Swampy, president of NCC. “I believe 80 per cent of Chiefs across this country want to be part of the natural resource industry. And it’s not just because of

the opportunities that will bring them out of poverty. It’s because they feel safe.”

Swampy is from the Samson Cree Nation, 100 kilometres south of Edmonton. Steeped in the oil and gas industry for the past 50 years (the Nation owns the Bonnie Glen deposit, one of the largest in North America), the Samson Cree Nation has fared very well, largely thanks to energy development. Today, the band owns about a billion dollars’ worth of assets and some 28 corporations, including a bank and an insurance company. It is the second largest private landowner in the province.

“We have our Kisoniyaminaw heritage trust fund, which just surpassed $500 million, and an education trust fund that helps put secondary students through their studies,” he says. “Per capita we have one of the highest undergraduate degree rates in the country, compared to other First Nations. But at the same time, we have some 70 per cent of our people still on social welfare. The social ills that exist across the country with First Nations exist on our reserve as well.”

Swampy worked for his band for 22 years, gaining a solid sense of First Nations’ needs in terms of infrastructure projects, employment, training and socioeconomic improvements.

“The things we need for our communities are directly tied to the family structure,” he says. “We need to rebuild our family structure to where it once was, which was one of our biggest assets. We’ve also been working towards building life skills to get our people

employed. It’s difficult though when there’s not much employment in the area of most of our reserves across this country.”

One reason why partnering with resource development companies – who do work in the vicinity of many First Nations – makes so much sense. “I’ve seen the kind of commitment these companies have to integrity, safety, protecting the environment,” Swampy says. “If Chiefs take the time to meet with the proponents of major projects in the natural resource industry, they will see the time, effort and resources they put towards environmental protection, integrity and safety.”

It was from a major resource project – the Northern Gateway pipeline – that the NCC originated. Swampy and several Chiefs worked with Enbridge, the pipeline operator, to build a long-term, mutually-beneficial relationship.

The agreement eventually reached between nine producers, Enbridge and 31 out of 40 First

Nations along the pipeline corridor, was to gift the First Nations involved 15 per cent equity in the project.

“They were also able to negotiate $2 billion worth of benefits from the project, including a community investment fund, direct awards, an employment and training fund, and the hiring of 31 Indigenous environmental monitors who would work for Enbridge for the 30 years of operations (one person hired from each community),” Swampy continues.

“The 15 per cent equity was offered clear across the board for all of the 40 corridor communities,” Swampy explains. “Thirty-one ended up signing up. But [Prime Minister] Trudeau refused to meet with us to hear about it.” In November 2016, when Trudeau canceled Northern Gateway, the Chiefs were furious.

It was the Northern Gateway experience, Swampy reflects, which formed the basis for the NCC. “If you would have asked me in 2005 if the NCC would work, based on my own experience with Chiefs across the country, I would have said no,” Swampy continues. “It was very difficult for First Nations to work together. But the model we saw with Northern Gateway really brought out a lot of positive things. First of all there was no lead First Nation who got more than others.

Even the Metis were given an equity opportunity in the project. The leaders were working for the common good.”

By the time Coastal GasLink (CGL) pipeline was going through final investment decision, the support of the NCC and affected First Nations was almost a given. “Every one of the Chiefs along the CGL route has signed on, they know how valuable the benefits are,” Swampy says.

“And they’re convinced it’s safe, which is the important thing.”

The NCC is supportive of First Nations involvement in many types of resource development. It has publicly supported a coalition of uranium mining companies in Northern Saskatchewan who have committed to Indigenous inclusion; the Grassy Mountain Coal Project in Southern Alberta (supported by the Piikani First Nation and Stoney Nakoda First Nation); a First Nations coalition in Northern Ontario trying to build a transmission line; the billion-dollar deal between a coalition

of Mi’kmaq First Nations in Nova Scotia and Premium Brands of B.C. to purchase Clearwater Seafoods; and the Mi’kmaq coalition involved in Pieridae Energy’s Goldboro LNG Project.

It was also highly supportive of the Keystone pipeline as well as the proposed purchase of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion by various Indigenous groups.

“We’re also supporting a blue hydrogen project in Southern Alberta involving a group of 14 First Nations to develop an Indigenous hydrogen hub in Calgary,” Swampy says. “We’re promoting a sustainable community plan that we want to incorporate across this country. A plan that generates our own electricity (through gas power, green energy projects, whatever) in regional coalitions. Then we’ll develop water

companies that would upgrade, clean and maintain our water on a regular basis. Plus wastewater and solid waste systems.”

“We don’t want handouts,” Swampy concludes.

“A land claim for hundreds of millions of dollars doesn’t help the First Nation guy on the reserve who’s uneducated and unemployed. We need long term economic strategies to become producing Canadians.”

The NCC is hosting the Energy and Natural Resource Summit from June 5 to 6 at the Seven Chiefs Sportsplex & Jim Starlight Centre on the Tsuut’ina Reserve. The Summit is an opportunity for industry leaders to come together with pro-development First Nation Chiefs to bridge the gap and be able to work together to get B projects going and completed. OE

Europe Speeds its Move Away from Russian Energy | Cody Battershill

EUROPE SPEEDS ITS MOVE AWAY FROM RUSSIAN ENERGY

by Cody Battershill

f you’re interested in the future of global energy supply, it’s hard to take your eyes off what’s been happening in Ukraine.

From the invasion of Ukraine to recent threats to shut off natural gas transmission to Poland and Bulgaria, the world is watching as Moscow’s illadvised strategy continues to unravel.

Our thoughts are solidly with the Ukrainian people who have set a new standard for toughness and bravery worldwide.

But there are other implications of this assault on Ukraine that are worth watching.

From a Canadian perspective, it’s interesting to view the moves being made by European customers to fill the real and anticipated energy gaps, and to see investors focus on suppliers that possess environmental, social and governance credibility – as well as political stability – as the war threatens traditional fuel supplies.

Naturally, Canada’s name is surfacing in those discussions. A recent Bank of America report predicted the emergence of a “new energy world order” with Canada named a key beneficiary, according to the Globe and Mail.

In addition, the European Union has said it will step up cooperation with African countries to help replace imports of Russian natural gas and reduce dependence on Moscow by almost twothirds this year.

Countries such as Nigeria, Senegal and Angola offer largely untapped potential for liquified natural gas, according to a draft EU document reported on recently by Bloomberg News.

Three specific examples paint a picture of a coming shift in supply channels: First, Greece currently gets about 30 per cent of its gas from Russia, and is working to reduce its Russian imports by two-thirds and source energy from within its borders as well as from Azerbaijan and elsewhere.

A second example is Italy, who wants to end its reliance on Russian gas by mid-2023 and is working to cut its imports in half, in part through new gas deals with Angola, the Congo Republic and Algeria, and through the transMediterranean pipeline that connects Italy with North Africa, allowing gas imports from Qatar, Mozambique and Azerbaijan.

And third is Germany, whose Chancellor Olaf Scholz recently stated, “We are actively working to get independent from the necessity of importuning gas from Russia. This is, as you may imagine, not that easy, because it needs infrastructure to be built.”

There’s no better supplier than Canada, and we could be of great assistance to these energy-strapped countries that have found themselves in dire need of alternative oil and gas suppliers. We have the resources, the know-how, the skilled labour force and the reputation for excellence.

All we need is the political will.
