Pretty sure they will approve the road as they want their internet....

On July 12-13 the local Broadband Working Group members
for Neskantaga (Edward Moonias, Dorothy Sakanee) invited
Matawa Economic Development to make a presentati on to
several diff erent audiences and ways which included the
elders, community members and local radio show.
The elders provided feedback into the broadband fi bre
project and discussed the advantages and disadvantages of
having the fi bre opti c cable. They stated that ownership of
the broadband network and any other infrastructure projects
like transmission lines coming into the area would be a main
goal along with making sure the community was aware of any
environmental impacts.
Challenges that were identi ft ied included the lack of services
on the current system with K-NET satellite as well as energy
provided by the diesel generators. For transmission line planning
to connect Neskantaga to the provincial grid, the elders
all agreed that any transmission line should follow a potential
road corridor, if the First Nation accepts a road.
