| Scope and content | This file contains a presentation by Colleen Wilkinson, Simon Brown and Mike Dufresne relating to the Ranglin Project, an undeveloped nickel area 60 km west of the village of Cangatsujouat, Quebec. Approximately 20% of the Ranglin site workforce is Inuit and Falconbridge seeks to increase those numbers. Difficulties were encountered with the Inuit in terms of entering a work culture vs. continuing with their traditional lifestyle and being away from their families. Falconbridge provides cross-cultural training for non-Inuit supervisors and offers an on-site Inuit consellor to help Inuit employees cope with problems they have adapting to the work culture. A question-and-answer session with the Commissioners follows the presentation. | |
