The following is an archived list of news sources enclosed with relevant articles, press releases, statements, announcements, and stories associated with Niiwin Wendaanimok and the TransCanada Highway 17 Twinning project:
In order to coordinate their shared experience, concerns, and interests, the Nations of Shoal Lake 40, Washagamis Bay, Niisaachewan, and Wauzhushk Onigum signed the Unity Agreement in October of 2018. This agreement marks the beginning of the Niiwin Wendaanimok (‘Four Winds’) Partnership. In the spirit of reconciliation, MTO has agreed to partnering with the Niiwin Wendaanimok moving forward on the twinning project. Although the nature and terms of this partnership are still being negotiated, it means the Niiwin Wendaanimok will consult its own people to understand potential social, environmental, and cultural impacts, provide its own reporting, and directly contribute to future decisions on the project.
