Great Sandhills Railway Switching Operation at North West Terminal Project -- Public Comments Invited


OTTAWA, ON, Sept. 21, 2020 /CNW/ - The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (the Agency) has accepted an initial project description for the proposed Great Sandhills Railway Switching Operation at North West Terminal Project, located one kilometre east of Unity, Saskatchewan.

The Agency invites the public and Indigenous groups to review the summary of the initial project description and provide feedback related to the proposed project. Comments received will support the Agency in the preparation of a summary of issues. Once completed, the Agency will provide the summary of issues to the proponent, Great Sandhills Railway Ltd.

Virtual information sessions will be held during this consultation period.

Written comments in either official language will be accepted until October 21, 2020.  

Comments can be submitted online by visiting the project home page on the Canadian Impact Assessment Registry (reference number 80998). All comments received will be published online as part of the project file.

For more information on the project, the review process and alternative means of submitting comments, visit the Agency's website at canada.ca/iaac.

The Agency recognizes it is more challenging to undertake meaningful public engagement and Indigenous consultation in light of the circumstances arising from COVID-19. The Agency continues to assess the situation with key stakeholders, make adjustments to consultation activities, and is providing flexibility as needed in order to prioritize the health and safety of all Canadians, while maintaining its duty to conduct meaningful engagement with interested groups.

As next steps, the proponent will provide the Agency with a detailed project description, which will include a response to the summary of issues. Taking into consideration the information submitted by the proponent, as well as comments received during the public comment period and other relevant information, the Agency will determine whether a federal impact assessment is required for the proposed project. If one is required, the public and Indigenous groups will have additional opportunities to participate over the course of the impact assessment process.
