Heritage Resource Monitoring: Railside Geotechnical and Environmental Drilling

InterGroup Consultants Ltd.

This report details the monitoring of geotechnical drilling as part of the environment site assessment for the Railside Development. The monitoring resulted in the discovery of heritage resources (artifacts) within five (n=5) of the 11 drill holes, most of which was located within the railway fill apart of fish and mammal bone that may represent Pre-European contact activities. Appendices include artifact scans.

Located at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, The Forks (also known as Nestawaya in Cree) has been a meeting place for over 6,000 years – located on the original lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Lakota peoples and resides in the homeland of the Red River Métis. This place also has deep ties with Dene and Inuit peoples, operates with water from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, and has welcomed people from all walks of life to trade, visit, and build community. In this spirit, all staff and administration here respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
