From what I understand, these items were reportedly part of the deal between the first nations and the province to secure the land for highway twinning

The gentleman I was speaking with in Parry Sound wasn't a government official or anything, so I could be off base, but given the work for the wind farm going on through the Highway 69 corridor, I can believe that the province has secured a corridor for twinning.

Thanks! That's good to know.
