A company wants to build a large wind farm in Quebec's Bas-Saint-Laurent region. The project would include 45 wind turbines generating 270 MW of power, plus roads, a substation connecting to Hydro-Québec's grid, and mostly underground electrical...
Why This Matters: Live in or near Témiscouata? This project could change the landscape you see every day. Wind farms bring construction jobs and lease payments to landowners, but some residents worry about noise and visual impacts. Quebec's push for renewable energy affects electricity rates for everyone.

The Department of National Defence wants to build a large two-bay aircraft hangar at CFB Trenton in Ontario. The project will convert part of an existing golf course into a 25,000 m² facility with aircraft parking, maintenance bays, and support...
Why This Matters: Live near CFB Trenton? This construction project will change the landscape around the base. A golf course will become a military facility. There'll be increased construction traffic and activity for several years. The project also affects local roads and utilities.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada is gathering feedback before launching official consultations on a national ghost gear strategy. Ghost gear means fishing nets, traps, and lines that get lost or abandoned in the ocean. These sessions focus on what's...
Why This Matters: Lost fishing gear keeps catching and killing marine life for years. It also breaks down into microplastics that end up in the food chain. If you eat seafood, care about ocean health, or live in a coastal community, this affects you.

Peter Kiewit Sons ULC wants to expand their marine yard on the Fraser River in Coquitlam. The project involves dredging 220,000 cubic metres of sediment, removing old piles, and building new marine structures for loading equipment and materials. To...
Why This Matters: Live near the Fraser River in Coquitlam? This project could mean construction noise outside regular hours due to tidal work. The dredging and expansion will change the riverbank near Brigantine Drive. On the plus side, new marsh habitat and shoreline restoration could benefit local wildlife.

Health Canada wants to keep approving methylcyclohexenone, a natural pheromone that repels bark beetles from Douglas-fir and spruce trees. Forestry workers staple slow-release dispensers to trees before beetle season. The agency found no health or...
Why This Matters: This one's pretty niche. If you work in forestry or live near beetle-affected forests in BC or Alberta, you might care. The pheromone protects trees from destructive bark beetles without toxic pesticides. For most Canadians, this won't affect daily life.

Serpent River First Nation wants to clean up a contaminated industrial site. The former Cutler Acid Site has soil polluted with metals, petroleum products, and other chemicals. About 82,200 cubic metres of contaminated soil will be dug up and hauled...
Why This Matters: This cleanup addresses decades of industrial contamination on First Nation land. For Serpent River First Nation members, it means safer land and water. Nearby residents may see increased truck traffic during excavation. The project shows how Indigenous communities are reclaiming polluted sites.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada wants to rebuild three deteriorating breakwaters at Larrys River Small Craft Harbour. The current structures are so worn down they get submerged at high tide, letting water flood into the harbour. The fix? Encase the old...
Why This Matters: If you fish out of Larrys River, this is about keeping your harbour safe and operational. The breakwaters protect boats and the wharf from storms and waves. Without repairs, the harbour could become unusable—threatening local fishing jobs and the community's economy.
