Webequie First Nation is completing an Environmental Assessment (EA) under Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act (EA Act) and Impact Assessment (IA) under Canada’s Impact Assessment Act (IA Act) for the proposed Webequie Supply Road (“the Project”, WSR). The proposed Project is a new all-season road of approximately 107 kilometres (km) in length, connecting Webequie First Nation and its airport to existing mineral exploration activities and proposed future mining development in the McFaulds Lake area. The location of the Project is approximately 525 km northeast of the City of Thunder Bay in northwest Ontario.
