The Importance of Consultation<\/h2>\n

Meaningful consultation with the public and Indigenous communities is critical to assessing environmental impacts. The consultation process began in 2007, and feedback, such as changes to the proposed route, interchanges, and water crossings, has already been incorporated into the Preliminary Design.<\/p>\n

The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) is committed to giving people the information and opportunity to have their say about the Highway 413 Project. The assessment of environmental impacts includes a comprehensive consultation program that continues to engage many different groups and considers different points of view.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Two\n\t\t\t\tLocal Communities\n\t\t\t\t
