Community Engagement
Organizing
Consultation and engagement opportunities
The environmental assessment (EA) process will be communicated through newspaper advertisements, radio, mail-outs, social media posts, and on this website. The schedule provides an overview of the engagement opportunities at different stages of the process.
Community engagement will take the form of interviews, group sessions and workshops with community members to talk about the project. This would include, for example, alternative routes for the road, places of cultural, spiritual, and environmental significance to communities, studies being undertaken, potential effects including cumulative effects, rights-based assessments, and mitigation and monitoring measures. Indigenous communities, government agencies, municipal officials, members of the public and other interested persons are encouraged to actively participate in the EA process.
