“…Hydroelectric development is often touted as a green energy source-being considered a renewable energy resource with relatively low operational and maintenance costs over a long service life-while offering competitive prices, jobs, and economic growth opportunities (CHA, 2008). Indeed, hydroelectric development in Ontario has often been identified as an effective means of supporting growth of the economy in a sustainable way, establishing a long-term revenue stream through the sale of surplus electricity to surrounding markets (CHA, 2008;Krupa, 2012a). Nevertheless, hydroelectric development also has well-established impacts including: habitat and landscape destruction, environmental mercury contamination that detrimentally impacts food systems, and increased greenhouse gas emissions (Rosenberg, Bodaly, & Usher, 1995;Rosenberg et al, 1997).…”

“…They have incorporated significant opportunities for participation by community members in the planning, environmental assessment, and impacts on daily or subsistence activities. Incorporating these mechanisms into the process has improved the efficiency of the process for approvals and permits and also within the community improved the social legitimacy of the ventures (Krupa, 2012a …”

There is existing tension within many Aboriginal communities between economic development and preservation of traditional lands for the continued practice of traditional activities. The "duty to consult" doctrine has has become an important mechanism by which these concerns were identified and addressed (when possible) prior to development. This is a legal requirement that is rooted in the Constitution Act (1982) and subsequent legal case law that has further defined and outlined requirements under this obligation. This article describes the process that was carried out to advance the proposed Kabinakagami River Hydro Project Class Environmental Assessment in Northern Ontario, Canada with an emphasis on the approach to Aboriginal consultation. This project is unique because the co-proponent of the project is an Aboriginal community, with several neighbouring Aboriginal communities potentially affected by the project. This project raises questions about the approach to carrying out the duty to consult in an effective way. An evaluative framework was developed to examine timeline, information, means, and flexibility and transparency of the process to highlight shortcomings in the process and make recommendations for improvement.

“…Aboriginal, or first nation, communities in Ontario have also begun the process of adopting renewable energy initiatives. The community of Pic River First Nation has various current and future renewable energy projects and is actively participating in knowledge and information sharing with other first nations communities across Ontario and Canada [112].…”

We reviewed 153 peer-reviewed sources to provide identification of modern supply chain management techniques and exploration of supply chain modeling, to offer decision support to managers. Ultimately, the review is intended to assist member-companies of supply chains, mainly producers, improve their current management approaches, by directing them to studies that may be suitable for direct application to their supply chains and value chains for improved efficiency and profitability. We found that information on supply chain management and modeling techniques in general is available. However, few Canadian-based published studies exist regarding a demand-driven modeling approach to value/supply chain management for wood pellet production. Only three papers were found specifically on wood pellet value chain analysis. We propose that more studies should be carried out on the value chain of wood pellet manufacturing, as well as demand-driven management and modeling approaches with improved demand forecasting methods.
