Consultation

Meaningful public and stakeholder consultation is important in shaping the outcome of this study. The Project Team has developed a consultation program that will:

  • Provide stakeholders with access to study information in a timely manner that enables them to provide input and participate in a meaningful way.
  • Engage the broader community and give consideration to all input and differing points of view.
  • Promote a cooperative and productive consultation environment that recognizes the value of dialogue and that everyone may not agree with every decision.

Two Public Information Centres (PICs) will be scheduled during this Study to provide interested individuals with the opportunity to learn more about the study process and provide feedback directly to the Project Team. PICs provide an opportunity for the public to discuss issues or concerns directly with members of the study team. The purpose of the first PIC will be to introduce the study to the public, provide background information, present the Problem and Opportunity Statements, identify the Alternatives to the undertaking and the associated screening level evaluation.  The purpose of the second PIC will be to present design and EA study updates since PIC #1 including the shortlist of interchange alternatives and their evaluation and the preliminary design Recommended Plan.

Information presented at each PIC will be available for review on the Consultation Page of this site.

Public Information Centre (PIC) #1 is currently available for review and comment beginning May 8, 2024 with a video presentation available until June 7, 2024.
