Representatives from Forbes and Valard Construction will also be on hand to answer questions about employment, training and procurement opportunities related to some of the projects.
Walpole Island First Nation, Hydro One, Forbes and Valard staff will be available throughout the evening to answer questions and hear feedback from residents on the projects.
