“…In the past, measurement of the socioeconomic impact of mining was focused more on the economic flow of inputs and outputs in a community. Support for organizational aspects from non-governmental organisations outside of the community was also taken into consideration (Burdge and al. 1988).…”

In spite of its economic outputs, the Canadian mining sector has suffered from several setbacks that have compromised its reputation. This has led many of its stakeholders to adopt a shift towards a new paradigm focused on sustainable development.In this review of the literature, we identify the impact that mining activities have had on various social, economic and environmental issues in Canadian society. We also survey the criteria and indicators included in various models that may be used to evaluate the adequacy of the transition of mines towards sustainable development. Finally, the strengths and weaknesses of eight tools that have been applied to the socioeconomic impact of mines are analysed.A clear vision of prospects for promoting sustainable development in Canadian mining emerges from this survey. Our analysis reveals important factors that not given adequate consideration in the models used currently to evaluate and suggests opportunities to improve these evaluation tools through identification of more relevant criteria and indicators.The research undertaken should incite stakeholders to develop social and economic impact evaluation tools that are better adapted to the Canadian context.

For an alternative perspective, see Hudgens (1990). 2The local population became involved primarily through letter writing efforts in Arizona, North Carolina, and Tennessee. In Illinois, Michigan and Texas interviews were conducted (US. Department of Energy, 1988). Michigan had the most extensive report from personal interviews with 49 local people and from telephone and letter contacts with 51 people. They also held "about a dozen" public meetings to discuss the SSC (Stoffle, et al., 1987).
