- Marten Falls First Nation needs a connection to Ontario’s provincialhighway network in the south to provide year round access; only airtransport is reliable in the winter.
- Better access would allow:
-
- Reduced transportation costs for goods and services; meaning more affordable food, fuel and other vital supplies and services;
- Enhanced access to emergency, health and social services;
- Increased opportunity for training and jobs for First Nation people and businesses during planning and construction; and
- Increased opportunity for local sustainable economic development.
