The Environmental Impact Review Board (EIRB) is a co-management tribunal established to conduct reviews of developments in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region. Considering the Government of Canada’s new Impact Assessment Act and the devolution that has taken place in the NWT, the EIRB is initiating a project to be completed by March 31, 2021 to update its current Guidelines. The Review Board is seeking proposals from qualified persons or organizations to conduct a review of the Guidelines, putting forward suggested modifications and improvements to bring them up to date. A copy of the RFP is available at www.jointsecretariat.ca/jobs. Responses are due by November 28th, 2020. +
