Partnership Formed to Create Power Line

Providing badly needed clean power to First Nation communities in the Far North.
That is the focus of a new partnership between New Osnaburgh First Nation and Saugeen First Nation.
The two have formed Sagatay Transmission L.P. to move forward with a new power line from Ignace to Pickle Lake.
The $250-million, 300-kilometre line is the first phase in a two-phase project that needs to be signed-off by the Ontario Power Authority.
The agreement will ensure treaty rights and the traditional way of life are protected and that jobs and investment are created.
The proposed project will follow along Highway 599 and will ensure that environmental and social impacts are minimized.
