Emergency Response

Should an incident occur at the Norman Wells site, well-defined plans and emergency response capabilities are in place, which include access to specialized equipment and trained personnel. To be ready to respond, emergency teams conduct regular drills and simulations.

Imperial maintains a community awareness program that involves all nearby residents. Imperial representatives will contact all residents close to our operations if required during an emergency or if any day-to-day operations could impact local residents.

Land acknowledgement

We acknowledge that our Norman Wells site is located on the traditional lands of the Sahtú Dene and Métis. This region has long been home to the Dene people. We honour the stewardship of the Sahtú Dene and Métis, past and present and recognize their enduring relationship with the waters, wildlife, and lands of the Sahtú. We make this acknowledgement as an act of gratitude in our journey of reconciliation.
