NeeStaNan looks forward to Mr Jackson working with NeeStaNan’s executive team as we assemble Canada’s “Indigenous Utility Corridor”. NeeStaNan is an Indigenous organization advancing the development of a major utility corridor connecting Alberta and Saskatchewan with a deep-water port in Manitoba on the shores of Hudson Bay. The NeeStaNan corridor and port will create new trade routes and critical infrastructure to enhance trade in agricultural products, minerals, bulk commodities, and energy. In addition to helping the Canadian Economy, the NeeStaNan Utility Corridor and Port Facilities will be a legacy project for Indigenous communities and will help save lives.
