Long Lake settles with OPG - Tb News Source - 9/1/2006

A long-standing grievance between Long Lake No. 58 First Nation and Ontario Power Generation has been resolved.

The reported seven figure settlement now paves the way for a potential ongoing relationship between the two parties. A band spokesperson says they will be working with OPG to see a hydro generation plant built on the south end of Long Lake.

The dispute, partly over the loss of some traditional land, dates back to 1938 and the First Nation announced the signing of the monetary settlement Thursday. The amount of the settlement has not been disclosed.

Native leaders hope the agreement will signal to other industries that they would like to plan resource development projects with them.
