A company wants to build a 598-metre access road and a 2.29-hectare drilling pad to operate up to 5 oil wells. The site was chosen to avoid wetlands and fish-bearing waters. Once the wells stop producing, the land would be restored.
Why This Matters: This is a localized oil drilling project on land under Indigenous Services Canada oversight. If you live nearby or have concerns about oil development on these lands, this decision affects your community.
