The Process

A key component of the study is consultation with interested stakeholders (public and review agencies). Please visit the Engage Muskoka Lakes website.

At the above link, a presentation will be made available regarding the Class Environmental Assessment process, the proposed works, possible alternative solutions and the identification and mitigation of any adverse impacts as a result of the project. After viewing the presentation there will be a section for comments and questions. Upon completion of the study, a Project File will be prepared for public review and comment. Subject to comments received and the receipt of necessary approvals, The Township intends to proceed with the detailed planning and design of the preferred solution. The Township wants to ensure that anyone interested in this study has the opportunity to get involved and provide feedback and input prior to design and implementation. To allow for the continuation of the study, the feedback period will end on September 9th, 2020.
