PROJECT DETAILS

The Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte (MBQ) has identified the immediate need for on-reserve housing.  To address this need, a housing development is proposed to be completed on property located on Beach Road, Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, Ontario.  The housing development will include single residential units.

The MBQ have retained Ainley Graham & Associates Ltd. (AGA) to carry out the detailed design of this project.

The information provided herein is intended to provide the community with an overview of the project and incorporate any community input into the final design.

To facilitate the design, MBQ retained Terraspec Engineering Inc. to complete a geotechnical investigation.  Copies of the reports are available for download and viewing.

MBQ also retained The Greer Galloway Group Inc. to complete a Species at Risk (SAR) Assessment Report for the project.  All recommended mitigation measures in the SAR Assessment Report, as well as any additional requirements by Environment Canada will be implemented for this project.  A copy of the SAR Assessment Report is available for download and viewing.
