MOUs signed between Ring of Fire communities, helicopter company

Mikawaa (Marten Falls), Eabametoong (Fort Hope), and Webequie First Nations signed multi-year agreements with Wisk Air Helicopters, enabling the First Nations to participate in helicopter services within their traditional territories, focusing on the Ring of Fire. Wisk Air has agreed to provide opportunities for Aboriginal youth, including sanctioned forest fire training, drill training, as well as helicopter ground training. These skills are transferable provincially and nationally to other helicopter and mining companies.
