About Neighbours on the Line
We are residents and landowners who share common concerns regarding the proposed expansion of an additional (in tandem) 230kv power line that is being planned for the Waasigan Transmission Line Project that will run directly through, over, in front of, and behind our homes and land.
There is a very large human impact that is being ignored by Hydro One and their partners in the Waasigan Transmission Line Project (see map below).
To date we have identified upwards of 300 homes (+ an unknown number of landowners) that are within 500m of the proposed line and fall within the study area of the Environmental Assessment (500m each side of the proposed corridor). Some Neighbours are faced with the loss of their homes and/or acreage, while all face the potential for reduced property values; contaminated water tables & wells; destruction of the natural environment surrounding us; adverse effects on flora & fauna; and potential health effects resulting from living in such close proximity to tandem high-voltage lines, just to name a few concerns.
Our mission is to gather, connect, share, understand, and support one another under these devastating circumstances and formulate a solid plan of action to combat Hydro One's apparent disregard for the human impact of this project.
For our families, for our neighbours, for this land.
