A unique partnership where four First Nations communities and Rio Tinto
are co-designing infrastructure for a healthier Nechako watershed.

Working Together for
a Healthier Watershed

The Ne Too Infrastructure Projects represent a unique partnership in the central interior of B.C. where four First Nations communities — Saik'uz First Nation, Stellat'en First Nation, Nadleh Whut'en First Nation and Cheslatta Carrier Nation — and Rio Tinto are working together to co-design potential infrastructure to support a healthier watershed.

This work reflects a shared commitment to respect culture, rehabilitate ecosystems, provide operational flexibility and resilience and continue building stronger relationships over time.
