Social Change in Cohesion of Community
• Even with ‘fly in/fly out’ mine operations, de facto mining
towns still exist at departure points, bringing in ‘outsiders’ to
the community [5] [15];
• Influx of ‘outsiders’ to a community disrupts the dynamics of
close knit community’s, upsetting the socio-cultural and
economic equilibrium that has developed over centuries [16];
• Health Canada reports that social changes associated with
development can create uncertainties within communities,
leading to a loss of control and deterioration of quality of life
and overall health of the community [16];
