Project info
An agreement was announced in March 2020 between Marten Falls and Webequie First Nations and the Ontario government to proceed with the planning and development of the Northern Road Link. The proposed infrastructure project is considered to be critical to future economic development in the north.
Making the connection
The Northern Road Link, would link two proposed roads – the 200- kilometre. Marten Falls-to-Aroland Community Access Road at the south end, and the proposed 110-kilometre. Webequie Supply Road to the Ring of Fire at the north end.
In addition to opening the mineral zone to development, the government said the road would improve access to health and social services and provide infrastructure such as high-speed internet and reliable cellular service to numerous First Nations communities.
"This road is an economic lifeline for our communities and it will bring jobs, training and prosperity where our youth currently have no opportunities."
— Chief Bruce Achneepineskum of Marten Falls First Nation

Led by Indigenous communities, the Northern Road Link is a nation-building project in Ontario’s North
It is more than a road—it is a lifeline, connecting the Marten Falls First Nation and the Webequie First Nation to essential services, enabling economic development, and providing responsible access to world-class critical mineral deposits in the Ring of Fire.
The Northern Road Link represents a historic opportunity to reshape the social and economic future of Northern Ontario—advancing reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, promoting environmental stewardship, and laying the foundation for shared, long-term prosperity
