Marten Falls First Nation and Webequie First Nation selected two environmental consulting firms in the process of two proposed roads that would connect the communities, and regional extractive industries, to other provincial infrastructure.
Neskantaga First Nation was granted an extension to the consultation period for the two proposed roadways. They have been unable to adequately engage in a process of informed consent with community members. The compounding issues of the pandemic and an evacuation resulting from unsafe tap water resulted in conditions that made meaningful consultation impossible.
The Ontario’s air ambulance service has begun to deliver the first COVID 19 vaccines to remote First Nations communities, including Neskantaga First Nation.
