Chiefs Steering Committee web site on Manitoba-Ontario-Interconnect initiative
The Chiefs Steering Committee is sharing information online about the proposed Clean Energy Transfer Initiative (Ontario-Manitoba Interconnect) and the various options being studied. For more information about this important initiative visit the new web site at www.chiefssteeringcommittee.com
A message from the Chair of the CSC, Harvey Yesno, that is in their first newsletter (available at http://www.chiefssteeringcommittee.com/Downloads/CSC_nwslttr.pdf)
Welcome, Boozhoo, Wachiya!
The Chiefs Steering Committee is pleased to launch the first in a series of newsletters to northern Ontario’s First Nations.
The purpose of this newsletter series is to provide regional First Nations with vital information and updates regarding the proposed Manitoba-Ontario Interconnect initiative (formerly known as the Clean Energy Transfer Initiative).
This information is to ensure that our First Nations can make informed decisions about what the potential implications of this project would mean at the community level.
As the Chiefs Steering Committee continues to gather information through the Manitoba-Ontario Interconnect-related studies and through its meetings with Ministry of Energy, it will continue to disseminate its findings through all available communication channels and tools. This potential project must be appropriately addressed at the community membership level with all potentially impacted First Nations having the opportunity to input their comments and recommendations.
We invite you to provide feedback to your community or Tribal Council representative or visit our new website at: www.chiefssteeringcommittee.com for more information.
