New Pathway Connection to Macdonald-Cartier Bridge in Gatineau

National Capital Commission (Federal)

Why This Matters: Use this path to bike or walk between Gatineau and Ottawa? Right now it's an unofficial dirt trail. Making it official means better drainage, signage, and year-round access. A notable White Oak tree will be protected during construction.

Should a 210-Metre Transmission Line Cross the Strait of Canso?

Transport Canada (Federal)

Why This Matters: Live near the Strait of Canso? You'd see 210-metre towers on both shores. Ship through the strait? The 75-metre clearance affects what vessels can pass. This project is part of Nova Scotia's push into green hydrogen—a growing industry that could bring jobs to the region.

Bellerive Park and Street Redevelopment in Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve

Montreal Port Authority (Federal)

Montreal's Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough is redeveloping Pierre-Tétreault Park and Bellerive Street along the St. Lawrence River. The park hasn't been updated since the 1970s. Plans include new pathways, bike lanes, public washrooms, seating...

Why This Matters: Live in or visit Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve? This park along the St. Lawrence is getting its first major upgrade in 50 years.

Montreal Airport Authority (Federal)

Culvert Replacement at Rampart Creek on Icefields Parkway

Parks Canada (Federal)

Parks Canada is replacing two aging culverts where Rampart Creek crosses the Icefields Parkway (Highway 93N). The old metal culverts are damaged and blocking fish from moving upstream. New concrete culverts will restore fish passage and stop road...

Why This Matters: Drive the Icefields Parkway? Expect a detour when this work happens. The current culverts are failing and threatening the highway itself. For anglers and anyone who cares about mountain streams, this project will help fish move freely again between Rampart Creek and the North Saskatchewan River.

Transport Canada (Federal)

Vancouver International Airport wants to expand its cargo facilities at the South Airport. The project includes enlarging aircraft parking areas to fit four Boeing 777-sized planes, preparing land for a future warehouse, and upgrading nearby roads...

Harbor Dredging at Cap-aux-Meules - Magdalen Islands Ferry Port

Transport Canada (Federal)

Transport Canada needs to dredge the harbor and channel at Cap-aux-Meules to keep the ferry and supply ships running safely. This is the only port on the Magdalen Islands that can handle commercial vessels. Sediment builds up every few years, making...

Why This Matters: Live on the Magdalen Islands? This port is your lifeline. It's how food, fuel, and supplies reach the islands. It's also how the ferry connects you to Prince Edward Island. Without dredging, larger ships can't dock safely.

Should More Port Workers Need Security Clearances?

Transport Canada (Federal)

Transport Canada asked whether security clearance requirements should expand to more port and marine facility workers across Canada. Right now, only certain roles need clearances. This consultation explored extending that to traditional occupations...

Why This Matters: Work at a port or know someone who does? New security clearance rules could affect who gets hired and how long it takes to start work. Background checks add time and paperwork. For workers with past criminal records, this could mean losing access to jobs they've held for years.

Wharf Reconstruction at Louisbourg Small Craft Harbour

Fisheries and Oceans Canada (Federal)

Fisheries and Oceans Canada wants to rebuild a deteriorating T-shaped wharf at Louisbourg harbour in Nova Scotia. The outer section has crumbled so badly it's partially barricaded. The fix involves encasing the old concrete caissons in a new...

Why This Matters: This harbour stays open when other Nova Scotia ports freeze over in winter. That makes it a lifeline for fishing crews who need somewhere to land their catch. The wharf also protects the Coast Guard's search and rescue station. If you fish these waters or rely on local seafood, this project keeps...

Should Matane's Port Expand to Handle Larger Ships?

Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (Federal)

A port authority wants to expand Matane's harbour on Quebec's Lower St. Lawrence. The project includes building a new commercial wharf, extending the existing one, dredging the harbour, and adding storage space. If approved, the port could handle...

Why This Matters: Live in Matane or the Gaspésie region? This could bring more jobs and economic activity to your community. But dredging and construction may affect local fish habitat and water quality. If you use the waterfront or care about the St. Lawrence ecosystem, this decision matters.

Should the Sea Island Dike Be Raised to Protect Vancouver Airport from Flooding?

Fisheries and Oceans Canada (Federal)

Vancouver Airport Authority wants to raise a 2.5 km dike by about one metre to better protect the airport from flooding. The work would happen in the Sea Island Conservation Area, which means clearing vegetation and relocating a drainage ditch...

Why This Matters: Fly through Vancouver International Airport? This project aims to keep it running during major floods. The work happens in a conservation area, so there's a trade-off between protecting critical infrastructure and preserving wildlife habitat.
