Providing badly needed clean power to First Nation communities in the Far North. That is the purpose 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 dollar, 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 will be protected and that jobs and investment will be created. The proposed project will follow along Highway 599 and will ensure that environmental and social impacts are minimized.
