Natural Resources

Overview

The CSTC Natural Resources Department has undergone some considerable changes over the last 5 years.  As the dynamics in the natural resources industry change because of market economics, climate change and political focus, so have the staffing requirements and CSTC’s services.  As with most First Nations organizations, our departmental needs are underfunded and the staff are constantly adapting to issues that require immediate attention.  Generally our Natural Resources Department focuses on the following areas:

●  Fisheries
●  Forestry
●  Land Use Planning
●  Mapping
●  Mining
●  Oil/Gas
Our staff possess a wealth of experience and knowledge.  The following CSTC Staff and contractors are working diligently to provide CSTC member First Nations with a variety of professional services:

●  Paul Blom, B.Sc., RPF, RP.Bio. - CSTC Natural Resources Director
●  Christina Ciesielski, B.Sc. - CSTC Fisheries Program Manager
