Project Update

December 2025

The project teams made significant progress on the Waasigan Transmission Line in 2025 and we look forward to continuing that momentum into the new year. Priorities into early 2026 include advancing the stringing program on Phase 1 and continuing the clearing and access works in Phase 2.

As of the end of December 2025:

What’s New:

  • On December 5, Valard’s Wireworks team safely and successfully completed the first Stringing Pull on the line. 
  • On December 12, Valard held a monthly Joint Site Inspection. The group reviewed stringing activities and processes with the foreman and observed the installation of the Equipotential Zone (EPZ).
  • Towards the end of 2025, the Employee Support & Mentorship Circle (ESMC) gathered for a creative painting session. Each canvas, inspired by the Seven Grandfather Teachings, reflects not only creativity but also the values that shape our actions and relationships every day: respect, honesty, bravery, courage, humility, love, wisdom, and truth. Check them out in the camp dining room!
