ST. JOHN'S, N.L. — The massive Muskrat Falls hydroelectric dam in Labrador is nearing completion.

The price of the megaproject has ballooned to $12.7 billion, and because of the massive expense and other issues, it’s about to be scrutinized by a public inquiry in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Muskrat Falls will affect almost every Atlantic Canadian in one way or another.

With that in mind, journalists across the SaltWire Network teamed up to look at some of the impacts on people in the region, offering perspectives about how it might shape our future.
