The GNWT was seeking input from community residents on the proposed Mackenzie Valley Highway (MVH) between Wrigley and Norman Wells. Your input was used to revise and update the MVH Developer’s Assessment report which is required to advance the environmental assessment.
When completed, the MVH will be a two-lane gravel highway from Wrigley to Norman Wells, approximately 321 kilometres in length.

The MVH project team visited communities to continue engagement in January and February 2023.
This series of engagement aimed to hold two public meetings in each Sahtu community, and in Fort Simpson. The first round of meetings focused on providing an overview of the project description and asking for feedback on the potential impacts of the project.
The second round of meetings reported back on what was heard during previous engagement rounds and discuss proposed mitigation measures and residual effects monitoring.
