Ice Profiling in Action

The Winter Road linking Tlicho communities is an engineering feat requiring months of detailed planning and teamwork to construct. A critical aspect of constructing safely is how Tlicho Engineering & Environmental Service (TEES) works on the ice. TEES has begun using ground penetrating radar (GPR) technology to give them precise, real-time data to determine ice thickness and integrity -- to millimeters – to protect crew safety and operate at maximum efficiency to open the road as early as possible.

The Tłı̨chǫ Winter Road is more than a pathway; it’s a symbol of connection and opportunity. For families, it means access to essentials. For businesses, it supports economic activity. And for the community, it reinforces resilience and self-reliance.

Progress on the Winter Road

Our crews are making remarkable progress on the Gamètì North and South sections. Wekweèti crews are gaining traction and it’s coming together beautifully! 

The road remains closed and not yet ready for travel, when everyone stays off the alignment it helps to keep everyone involved safe the construction on schedule.
