Abstract
Ontario has identified transmission reinforcement to Pickle Lake and the connection of remote communities as a priority project in its Long Term Energy Plan. Wataynikaneyap Power is addressing First Nations needs by combining two phases – Phase 1, the grid reinforcement to Pickle Lake, and Phase 2 being the extension north to connect 17 remote off-grid communities. Wataynikaneyap Power has submitted its Final Environmental Assessment Report for the Phase 1 New Transmission Line to Pickle Lake Project to the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) for review and approval. While Phase 1 of the project is largely focused outside of our landscape, we provide a number of recommendations on wolverine and caribou best management practices and encourage a regional approach to environmental assessment to address cumulative effects and climate change.
