June 18, 2025
TORONTO — A proposed road to the mineral-rich Ring of Fire in northern Ontario will bring economic prosperity to Webequie First Nation, though it may endanger caribou in the region, a newly released assessment finds.
Webequie First Nation is leading an environmental and impact assessment of the Webequie Supply Road that would connect to mining exploration activities in the Ring of Fire.
That road will connect to two other proposed roads that would link the remote First Nation to the provincial highway system hundreds of kilometres south.
“This is a critical milestone for our people and our project,” Chief Cornelius Wabasse said in a statement.
