Funding Available to Participate in Sorel-Tracy Port Terminal Assessment
Official title: Sorel-Tracy Port Terminal Project Public Notice Participant Funding Available
Want to have a say on a new port terminal proposed for Sorel-Tracy, Quebec? The federal government is offering funding to help Indigenous peoples and the public participate in the environmental assessment. The money covers costs like reviewing technical documents and submitting comments on the project's potential impacts.
Why This Matters
Live near Sorel-Tracy's industrial-port zone? This terminal could change traffic, noise, and waterfront activity in your area. Indigenous communities with rights in the region have a direct stake in how this project moves forward. The funding removes a barrier—you can get paid to review documents and share your concerns.
What Could Change
If approved, a new port terminal would be built in Sorel-Tracy's industrial zone. The environmental assessment will determine what conditions the project must meet—things like noise limits, water quality protections, or traffic management. Your input now shapes those conditions.
Key Issues
