Hydro One expects to have shovels in the ground as early as the beginning of November.
THUNDER BAY — Some landowners are still holding out, but Hydro One is preparing to start construction of the $1.2 billion Waasigan Transmission Line regardless.
However, a number of property-owners remain resistant to signing voluntary agreements that provide compensation for a right-of-way. But Karunakaran called the environmental assessment "a good record" and a reflection of the outreach Hydro One and its Indigenous partners have conducted for several years.
Open houses to discuss details of the construction plans are scheduled for Atikokan on Oct. 28, the Current River Community Centre on Oct. 29, and the Kam Community Centre on Oct. 30.
