Spring 2025 Webinars
We are excited to announce MFFN Community Access Road’s upcoming webinar series beginning in April and May 2025!
The first webinar in the series will cover Community Well-being and the Identified Project Effects and Proposed Impact Management Measures as they apply to the valued components Socio-Community, Economics, and Human Health. This webinar will also provide insight into the Draft Environmental Assessment / Impact Statement as the public begins their review period.
Valued components can be defined as aspects of the human and natural environment that might be affected by the Community Access Road and that are important to Indigenous communities, government agencies and interested persons.
