Challenge the Proponent to demonstrate 100% emergency response self-sufficiency (fire, ambulance, security) at the Revell Site, noting the text's reference to 'infrastructure development' support for Ignace but exclusion of the unorganized territory.
Strategic Rationale
The Proponent's submission highlights capacity building and infrastructure support for the Township of Ignace, yet fails to address the reality of the immediate project location. Melgund Township is an unorganized territory with zero local emergency services (no fire, no ambulance, no police). Reliance on distant regional services creates unacceptable risk for residents in Dyment and Borups Corners. The Proponent must demonstrate that the project will provide its own full-spectrum emergency capacity rather than assuming local support exists. This ensures the 'protection of people' cited in the text applies to the most vulnerable, unserviced neighbors.
