Upcoming 2025 Field Studies
Field Studies are important to understand the existing conditions of the local environment and the potential effects of the proposed Community Access Road on the social, cultural, economic and natural environments. We have conducted a variety of Field Studies, and the next one will focus on water crossings.
Since 2019, archaeologists have been researching potential sites for the Marten Falls First Nation Community Access Road through Stage 1 and Stage 2 Archaeological Assessments. With the preferred route now chosen for the road, archaeologists will conduct an additional field survey this summer or fall, called a Stage 2 Assessment. This field program will focus on water crossings. Work is expected to take approximately two weeks, with dates to be confirmed.
