Governance Update: IAMC‑TMX As the Trans Mountain Expansion Project has been operating, the Indigenous Advisory and Monitoring Committee (IAMC‑TMX) is undertaking governance alignment to ensure its work is fully focused on operations‑phase oversight. IAMC‑TMX activities will be paused until June while the Indigenous Caucus strengthens governance, clarifies processes and roles, and prepares for long‑term oversight during operations. This pause is intentional and reflects the Committee’s commitment to strong governance, accountability, and Indigenous‑led oversight. Updates will be shared as this work progresses. #IAMC #Governance #IndigenousOversight #TMX

On March 29 and 30th, 2026, the SESC of the IAMC‑TMX hosted a Know Your Rights / Self Defence Workshop in Edmonton for Indigenous youth from First Nation and Métis communities across Alberta who are part of the TMX Crown Consultation process. The workshop focused on building agency, confidence, and practical self‑defence skills, starting with understanding personal rights and finding one’s voice, and moving into embodied safety skills grounded in real‑world experience. The training was delivered through an Indigenous lens, creating a supportive and culturally grounded space for learning and connection. We were honoured to welcome youth of all genders, ages 16–29, and grateful to everyone who participated and helped make this workshop meaningful and empowering.
