To whom it may concern: Upon reading the documents for the Webequie Supply Road Project we have these specific concerns: Indigenous people are not being communicated with in a format that is familiar to their traditional indigenous understanding.

  • Hello Caitlin,   As legal counsel for Nibinamik First Nation, I am writing in response to Canada’s request for comments on the request to extend the time limits under the Impact Assessment Act for the Webequie Supply Road project to January 6, 2027.   Nibinamik is still in the process of reviewing and considering the implications of the request, however, since you have asked for comments by November 25 (today), we would like to provide the following preliminary feedback. In particular, we want to make the point that if the extension request is approved, Canada should ensure that it is able to require updated or additional studies or surveys from the proponent, where needed, in order to accurately reflect the environmental, cultural, or cumulative impacts of the project.   It is of critical importance that Canada has accurate information to rely upon when monitoring and assessing the project. ...

  • 1. Is there evidence that the Neskantaga First Nation used and occupied the Project Area prior to the submission of the Proposal? Summary Response The available historical, ethnographic literature and oral testimony indicate that there is evidence that Neskantaga, and other First Nation members, used and occupied the lands and waters in and around the Project Area in the period prior to the proposal of the Project.This is reflected in the fur trade accounts of the HBC, geological surveys and the oral testimony of Neskantaga elders. The first major HBC inland trade posts in the region were Henley House, Gloucester House, Marten Falls and Fort Hope (all on the Albany River), and were likely the most important early trade centres for residents of the upper Attawapiskat and Winisk River drainage basins. This required that people travel long distances to trade their furs, and they likely only visited such posts a few times a year. While not well documented, it ...
