The agency has allocated $50,000 to the Hatchet Lake Denesuline First Nation to support their participation in the federal environmental assessment. This funding was made available to the public and Aboriginal groups through the Participant Funding Program administered by the Agency.
The funds will enable participation in upcoming steps of the environmental assessment, which include reviewing and providing comments on the Environmental Impact Statement and on the draft Environmental Assessment Report.
