N.W.T. government says the draft guidelines ignore the transboundary water agreement
The N.W.T. government and an Indigenous water advocate say they’re concerned a proposed nuclear power project in northern Alberta could impact the territories water and air quality and want to see proper consideration for northerners.
A private company is proposing the construction of the Peace River Nuclear Power Project to power Alberta. The N.W.T. being on a separate grid means it would likely not get any of the benefits of the project, but being downstream means it could face some of the risks.
