Fears over Waasigan transmission line route and impacts
Environmental concerns flare over Hydro One and nine Northwestern Ontario First Nations plan for the Waasigan high voltage corridor from Shuniah to Atikokan and Atikokan to Dryden. Residents fear wetland loss and lake runoff while company officials promise minimized disruption and enhanced mitigation, with completion slated by 2027 and cost rising to about 1.2 billion dollars. The project would raise residential bills by about 55 cents monthly.
