Proponent's public consultation activities
When preparing the EIS, project proponents consult with stakeholders and members of the community who may be impacted by the project.
Consultation activities can include:

- media releases
- magazine articles
- posters

Proponents are also required to develop a stakeholder engagement strategy as part of the project's social impact management plan.
