Christine also has two decades of experience leading innovation and system change in the oil sands mine closure reclamation, including fen reclamation and reclamation of Pond 1 (now known as Wapisiw Lookout). During her PhD, Christine co-created a participatory and inclusive approach to mine reclamation and closure planning with Fort McKay First Nation co-researchers, called “co-reclamation.” Together, they developed intercultural planning tools and explored co-reclamation of the Fort McKay Traditional Territory in Treaty 8, northeastern Alberta, Canada, which is affected by oil sands activities.
