April 29, 2020 - Indigenous Services Canada has determined that the proposed Saulteaux IR159 Timber Harvest Plan 2020-21 is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.

The determination was based on the following factors:
- by Band Council Resolution, Saulteaux First Nation requested that Indigenous Services Canada issue a Timber permit to Mistik Management for IR 159
-Saulteaux First Nation will receive resource revenue which benefits the First Nation and its membership
-no public comments were received concerning the project
-mitigation measures

Implementation of mitigation measures is required for the project to address:
-riparian setbacks
-fuel storage and machinery refueling practices
-potential bird nesting sites

Inidgenous Services Canada is satisfied that the carrying out of the project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.
