The Municipality of Bluewater wants to replace aging underground fuel tanks at Bayfield Small Craft Harbour with a new aboveground tank. The harbour sits on Lake Huron's east shore, about 30 km north of Grand Bend. Most work happens off federal...
Why This Matters: Use the harbour for boating? This project ensures you'll still be able to fuel up safely. The switch from underground to aboveground tanks reduces the risk of fuel leaks contaminating the soil and nearby Lake Huron.

Bingwi Neyaashi Anishinaabek (BNA) First Nation is building a new waste transfer station on their lands. The 8,000 square metre facility will handle garbage and recycling for community members. Waste won't stay there permanently—it'll be transferred...
Why This Matters: This project directly affects BNA community members who need proper waste disposal services. As the community grows, having a dedicated transfer station means residents won't have to travel far to dispose of garbage and recycling. The fenced facility also helps prevent illegal dumping and keeps...

Nova Scotia Power wants to replace two wooden utility poles with steel-fiberglass ones along transmission line L6551. The catch? The poles sit inside the Chignecto National Wildlife Area, a protected wetland. Work will temporarily lower water levels...
Why This Matters: Live near the Chignecto wildlife area? This work could temporarily affect local wetlands. The transmission lines were there before the wildlife area was created, so maintenance happens—but it needs federal approval because it's protected land.

DP World wants to tear down part of a 1967 wall in the Fraser River near Surrey. Why? Modern ships are too big to safely dock at the lower berths. The project involves removing 1,400 creosote timber piles and dredging 40,000 cubic metres of...
Why This Matters: Live near the Fraser River in Surrey? Construction noise could affect you for 3-4 weeks. The project also involves dumping dredged sediment at sea, which raises questions about what's in that material. Fishers and boaters using the Annieville Channel should know about potential disruptions.

The Gitga'at First Nation wants to build a 1.1km ring road around Hartley Bay, a remote coastal community in BC. The road would connect the barge ramp to existing roads, improving access and serving as a fire break and emergency escape route...
Why This Matters: This matters most to Hartley Bay residents. The ring road would make it easier to move supplies and evacuate during emergencies like wildfires. If you care about how infrastructure projects balance community needs with species protection, this is a real-world example.

An oil company wants to build a 3-hectare drilling pad for up to 12 oil wells, plus a 244-metre access road. The site was chosen to avoid wetlands and stay back from Frog Creek. Part of an existing road will be reused to reduce tree clearing.
Why This Matters: Live near Frog Creek or in the surrounding area? This oil drilling project could affect local traffic, noise levels, and the landscape for years. The site will eventually be reclaimed, but that's after the wells stop producing.
