Challenge the Proponent's engagement classification of Melgund LSB as an 'Inform' stakeholder (Section 5.4) regarding Emergency Preparedness, specifically in light of the commitment to 'support emergency services' in Ignace (Section 5.1).
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent's submission outlines a plan to support emergency services in the Township of Ignace while only 'informing' Melgund. This creates a critical safety gap. Melgund is an unorganized territory with ZERO local emergency services (no fire, ambulance, or police). The community relies entirely on distant regional hubs. If the Project consumes capacity in Ignace or increases risk in the corridor, Melgund residents are left vulnerable with no local response capability. The Proponent must demonstrate 100% self-sufficiency in emergency response to ensure that the 'protection of people' (Section 5.3.1) extends to neighbors who cannot rely on municipal departments."
