Revenue Resources
Director of Revenue Resources
Sharon Plourde
Manages Finance Agreements that Apitipi Anicinapek Nation has with mining forestry exploration and AAN advocacy.
MANDATE
Our revenue resources department ensures all negotiated agreement terms from forestry to mining to exploring are upheld. Ensure that benefits are provided to the AAN for the prosperity of the community. We ensure each partner follows financial negotiated terms of agreements. If any terms have not been met, our department is responsible to contact the agreement partners to make sure the agreement is being upheld and continues to work in good faith.
Key Issues
Some agreements needed crucial attention. Companies had to change ownership and partnering to become responsible in order to ensure the partnership suited AAN goals and requirements. AAN government and ratification of AAN membership signed onto the agreements and the terms are accepted. There is no need for further negotiations. We needed a department to ensure these important agreements between the partners are honored.
We need to protect our sacred sites. If there is a need for protection of AAN lands and interests, our department notifies AAN leadership to ensure the best possible monitoring and protection.
Activities
- Mine and Forestry meetings
- Partnership holders meetings
- Meetings updating AAN government and Executive Directors to update membership for transparency.
- Watch for new explorations activity
- Provide briefings for AAN Leadership.
- Ensure benchmark goals are met.
- Keep each department of progress and new developments.
Highlights of Achievements
Negotiated terms that suit AAN interests. While we are holding mine accountable and exploration Junior mines accountable to the terms, we ensure the terms are paid by dividends and we receive financial gains.
Moving Forward
Continuing to protect and maintain current and new industry partnerships are being honored to ensure our community interests are best met. Continue working with the AAN finance team and lands and resources department on projects.
