Welcome to the York Factory Future Development website! This site is maintained by the York Factory Future Development office for use by YFFN members. It provides information about current and future hydroelectric developments on the Nelson River and YFFN’s consultations and negotiations with Manitoba Hydro.

The site currently focuses on the proposed Keeyask Generation Project at Gull Rapids on the Nelson River and the Keeyask Infrastructure Project (KIP), which is the access road from the PR 280 to the potential Keeyask Generating Station. YFFN members are encouraged to learn about these projects because YFFN has partnered with Manitoba Hydro and three First Nations (Tataskweyak Cree Nation, War Lake First Nation, and Fox Lake Cree Nation) to form the Keeyask Hydropower Limited Partnership (see www.keeyask.com).

Field Trip to Keeyask Infrastructure Project

With Manitoba Hydro, YFFD coordinated a field trip to the Keeyask Infrastructure Project site on September 20th, 2012.

As Project Manager, Manitoba Hydro gave several YFFD staff and one advisor a site tour of the Keeyask Infrastructure Project site. This group observed, learned about, and discussed the environmental impacts and measures used to reduce some the impacts at the site.
