The Michi Saagiig Anishinaabeg chiefs, representing several First Nations, have called on the federal government to ensure meaningful engagement with Indigenous communities before expediting the Darlington small modular reactor project. They emphasize their status as rights holders and stewards of traditional territories, stressing the importance of comprehensive consultation.

The chiefs are currently in discussions with Ontario Power Generation regarding economic opportunities related to the project. The new Major Projects Office aims to streamline approvals for significant initiatives, including the Darlington project.
