Community Advisory Committee

Cadillac Mines established the Community Advisory Committee as a voluntary forum to support open, constructive and in-depth dialogue with representatives of local communities and groups as the Kerr-Addison Project evolves.

The committee provides a shared space to discuss potential project-related concerns, impacts, opportunities and benefits as they arise, and to identify solutions collaboratively. The mandate of the committee is to:

• Ensure a common space for dialogue and information-sharing between Cadillac Mines and the project’s potentially impacted communities and groups;
• Develop a shared understanding of the potential environmental, social and economic opportunities and challenges associated with the project’s development;
• Collaborate to identify positive solutions to project-related issues, both proactively and as they arise;
• Act as a channel for sharing agreed-upon information with potentially impacted communities and groups;
• Communicate community concerns related to the project’s development to Cadillac Mines and the project team; and
• Make recommendations to Cadillac Mines to improve its practices and maximize the project’s anticipated community and regional benefits.

The committee is composed of six representatives from McGarry Township (two from Virginiatown, two from North Virginiatown and two from Kearns), along with two representatives from Larder Lake. The two Company representatives on the committee are Darian Guimond, People and Community Relations Manager, and Clayton Pearson, Senior Project Manager.

Local Indigenous communities and organizations are invited to participate as observers.
