  • Enclosure #3.1 – Community Comment Card – Consultation Approach Impact Assessment Agency of Canada - Webequie Supply Road Project 1 | P a g e Webequie Supply Road Project Community Comment Card Webequie First Nation is proposing the construction and operation, including maintenance, of a 107- kilometre all-season road connecting the Webequie Airport and the McFaulds Lake area in northern Ontario.

  • Good morning. I would like to extend my opinion of support for the Martin Falls Community Access Road. This road will allow the residents of the community benefits that many people in urban areas take for granted. It is a holistic solution to the region and will facilitate positive changes. With climate change being a real thing, a winter road is not sustainable, nor is air freight. Now for the urban people, look at a mattress for your home. You are at the store with your family looking at furniture for your home, (possible 2 people or more). To get to a town or city, you took a seasonal road or airplane. That costs alone several hundreds if not thousands of dollars itself. This is for shopping or appointments, not a vacation to a warm place for a week.  Now look at the good that you have purchased, you now have limited space on the plane or vehicle to bring these things back to the community. Look at the cost to ship that mattress, several hundred dollars ...
