Require a specific vulnerability assessment detailing how projected increases in 'winter and spring precipitation' and 'ice dynamics' will impact emergency response travel times from Ignace and Dryden.
Strategic Rationale
"The IPD projects significant increases in winter precipitation and changes to ice dynamics. Melgund Township has zero local emergency services and relies entirely on response from distant hubs (Ignace/Dryden) via Highway 17. Any climate-induced degradation of road conditions (ice/flooding) directly increases response times, creating an unacceptable safety risk for residents. The Proponent must demonstrate how they will maintain 100% emergency access reliability despite these projected climate impacts, rather than relying on standard provincial road maintenance."

Understanding the Impacts of Nuclear Waste on our Community
This digital archive houses the public comments submitted to the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada regarding Project 88774: The Nuclear Waste Management Organization Deep Geological Repository (DGR) for Canada's Used Nuclear Fuel Project. The impact assessment is led jointly by the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. This archive preserves community perspectives, concerns, and observations shared during the assessment process, particularly in relation to Melgund Township, Northwestern Ontario and the communities of Dyment and Borups Corners who are the closest and most impacted of all in the process.
