Manitoba Hydro recognizes that resolving past grievances is fundamental to strengthening working relationships with Aboriginal communities. A key strategy in our Corporate Strategic Plan is to "resolve and manage ongoing obligations from past development". Manitoba Hydro will continue to address the adverse effects of its existing operations on the customs, practices and traditions of Aboriginal people that are integral to their cultural identity.
In addition to community-wide settlement agreements, Manitoba Hydro has reached a number of agreements with resource user groups, such as local commercial fishing and trapping associations.
