Members of SaskPower held a consultation meeting with members of Opaskwayak Cree Nation at the Kikiwak Inn regarding the planned upgrading of their transmission line that partially runs through OCN traditional territory.

Any infrastructure project on traditional land can have an impact on indigenous peoples and their way of life.

Infrastructure projects can impact hunting, trapping, medicine gathering, and burial sites and many people attending the meeting brought up these factors as concerns.

These factors will determine whether OCN will approve the project or not and Sinclair is hoping to have another meeting with Saskpower at a later date.
