  • *PDF of comment with proper formatting uploaded together with this intext comment.    Re: Northern Road Link Project Environmental Law with Professor Scott 25 November 2023 Cece Boissoneau, RN, JD Candidate   THE WIINDIGO NORTHERN LINK   The proposed road, “The Northern Link”, is an all-season road that will connect a remote mining region to the provincial highway system. This road and the industrial work camp, or “man camp”, that will be built once the mine is in operation, presents major risks to Indigenous women and girls whose Nations have homelands in the region. In this comment, I will outline those risks by examining the concept of the “Wiindigo” in Anishinaabe law.

  • Hi Ely, Although MNRF did not do a formal review of the TISG for the Northern Road Link project, I did do a scoped look through the document and identified a few thoughts for IAAC’s consideration.   I honestly couldn’t find a way to submit comments without using my personal GC Key login, so I’m sending them directly to you instead. These comments are all related to the cumulative effects section (7.7).  It appears that the cumulative effects assessment (CEA) section speaks to the inclusion of various existing or future projects as part of the CEA.  I might recommend adding the following to the list on page 50-51: Rapid Lynx Fiber Optic project. Potential waterpower or other electricity generation projects that may feed power into future “power transmission projects” to service remote MATAWA communities and/or mining developments. In addition, although not explicitly ...

  • Thank you for providing the opportunity for the Métis Nation of Ontario to review and comment on the Draft Tailored Impact Assessment Guidelines and the Draft Indigenous Engagement and Participation Plan for the Northern Road Link Project. As you are aware, and as outlined further in the attached edits to ‘Enclosure 3’, the Métis Nation of Ontario Region 2 is not asserting Aboriginal rights within the Northern Road Link Project area at this time. Therefore, the MNO Region 2 is not fully engaging in consultation on this Project at this time. The MNO also does not have project-specific traditional knowledge and land use data for the study area, which would be needed to adequately assess potential impacts of the Project on the exercise of section 35 rights.   As such, we do not have specific comments with regards to the documents, beyond requesting continued follow-up for the next stages in the assessment.
