First Nations hosting open houses for Ring of Fire roads
Marten Falls First Nation and Webequie First Nation are hosting open houses this week in Thunder Bay for the Northern Road Link Project.
The project promises a new all-season road connecting a proposed Webequie Supply Road from Webequie First Nation with the proposed Marten Falls Community Access Road.
Together the roads will link the two First Nations not just with each other, but with the provincial highway system.
As the Northern Road Link is not yet finalized, this week’s open houses will offer the public a chance to provide input on preferred routes and provide updates on the project.
Thunder Bay residents will have the chance to attend open houses in-person, but open houses will also be streamed and recorded online for those who cannot attend.
On Tuesday February 24, two open houses with a focus on Indigenous interests will be hosted at the Italian Cultural Centre from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
On Wednesday February 25, two more open houses, with a wider focus for the general public, will be hosted at the Italian Cultural Centre from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
