This is your chance to have your say on the Lower Churchill Hydro Project!

This project is currently undergoing a panel review, the highest level of environmental assessment possible in Canada. Please go here to see details on the environmental assessment process and read documents, such as the environmental impact statement and comments from the public on the project.

We expect that public hearings on the project will begin sometime in the summer or fall of 2010. These hearings will be an important opportunity to learn about the project directly from the proponent (Nalcor), hear questions from the review panel, government agencies, and members of the community.

When more information is available on how you can participate in the hearings, we will post it here. If you want to know more, please contact Gretchen Fitzgerald at gretchenf@sierraclub.ca or call (902) 444-3113.

You can also talk directly to Environment Canada staff regarding how you can participate in this process:
