Frontier Oil Sands Mine Project - Revised Notice of Hearing
OTTAWA, July 12, 2018 /CNW/ - The Joint Review Panel (the Panel) established to review the proposed Frontier Oil Sands Mine Project (the Project) and conduct an assessment of the environmental effects of the Project has issued revised submission filing deadlines and confirms that the hearing will commence at 9 am on Tuesday September 25th at MacDonald Island (Miskanaw Ballroom), 1 CA Knight Way, Fort McMurray, Alberta. On June 6, 2018, the Review Panel issued a Notice of Hearing indicating how to request participation in the hearing along with a preliminary schedule of filing submission dates for the hearing.
The Panel is planning to schedule a portion of the hearing in Fort Chipewyan in early to mid-October to accommodate requests by the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN) and the Mikisew Cree First Nation (MCFN) that a portion of the hearing take place in their community. The hearing process will be audio-cast and may also be video-cast in order for those who are not able to travel to the hearing sessions to observe the proceedings remotely.
