Consultation

Advisory Groups and Indigenous Communities

Consultation with regulatory agencies, municipalities, Indigenous communities, members of the public and other interest groups will be undertaken during this study. Discussions with these stakeholders will focus on data collection, the generation and assessment of alternatives, the evaluation and selection of the preferred alternative, the development of mitigation measures to reduce or avoid potential environmental impacts, and to seek overall support for this study. Several advisory groups have been formed to support this study. Many of these groups were involved during Stage 1 of the study, and will continue to be involved during Stage 2 (by activating a link below, you'll be brought to the corresponding section of information on this page):
