Community

Our commitment to the community

We are committed to keeping the Indigenous groups and local communities engaged and informed throughout the development of this project. By engaging early and often with stakeholders, we create project plans with better outcomes for everyone involved. Engaging with communities means listening to the needs of all our stakeholders, providing accurate information, and responding to stakeholder interests in a prompt and consistent manner.

Some of the ways we work to identify potential environmental and socio-economic effects are through hosting local open houses, conducting public presentations and having one-on-one discussions. We also reach out to our stakeholders with fact sheets, brochures, websites and provide email and toll-free phone lines to contact us directly.
