Yellowknife — August 10, 2023
As part of the proposed Lockhart All-Season Road (LASR) project, the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) is inviting residents to provide feedback as it prepares to submit a land use permit application to the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board.
The application is being prepared for the GNWT to perform geotechnical investigations between Tibbitt Lake and Lockhart Lake. Geotechnical investigations are one of many ways the GNWT gathers data about a project site. In this case, they would be undertaken to assess possible hard-rock quarries and granular resources as material to construct the proposed LASR.
Residents can provide feedback by emailing sgp@gov.nt.ca, or by attending the following virtual and community meetings:
- Virtual
- August 17, 2023 (6 p.m. – 8 p.m.)
