Wataynikaneyap Transmission Project Celebrates Completion
December 19, 2024
Work began on “the line that brings light” in 2016 to connect 17 remote First Nations communities in northwest Ontario to the provincial electricity grid. With the line now in full service, these communities can end their dependence on diesel generators and now have the infrastructure in place to support future community growth and economic development.
Congratulations to Wataynikaneyap Power and the 24 partner communities for bringing this work to completion - redefining how the electricity sector does business with Indigenous communities and representing a significant step forward on our reconciliation journey.
