Notice of in-person Public Information Centre 1 – January 28, 2025

Kennedy Road Sanitary Trunk Sewer Project - Schedule C Class Environmental Assessment

Background

To help make new homes available faster, Peel Region has taken a significant step toward building the water infrastructure needed to meet the housing targets outlined in the “More Homes Built Faster Act” (Bill 23). By adopting a program management approach, Peel Region is expediting the construction of essential water and wastewater infrastructure to meet community and provincial needs, both now and into the future. Committed to supporting a growing population, Peel Region is focused on creating a thriving, inclusive, and sustainable community that promotes robust infrastructure, economic growth, environmental resilience, and overall well-being.

Peel Region is taking proactive steps to achieve this goal by initiating multiple projects, including the Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) Study for the Kennedy Road Sanitary Trunk Sewer Project. This Project will help ensure sewage capacity requirements are met by 2051 to support growth in Peel Region. Refer to Figure 1 for Project Study area.

Process

This study will follow the 2023 process for a Schedule “C” MCEA project, which includes:

Indigenous community engagement and public and stakeholder consultation
Background studies
Development and evaluation of sewer route options; impact assessment; and mitigation measures.
Selection of the preferred sewer route including design, and schedule

Your input is important

Two Public Information Centres (PICs) will be held to present the findings of the MCEA study and provide opportunities to give feedback to the project team. Community engagement is key to the MCEA process. Early discussions will help identify ways to reduce project impacts on residents, businesses, and commuters.

In-Person PIC #1

When: Tuesday January 28th, 2025, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Where: Paul Palleschi Recreation Centre (30 Loafers Lake Lane, Brampton ON L6Z 1X9), Meeting Rooms 1 & 2

We invite all interested community members to join the first in-person PIC #1 to learn more about the Kennedy Road Sanitary Trunk Sewer Project and have the opportunity to ask questions to the project team members.

Virtual PIC #1

The first of two PICs was held virtually starting on December 4, 2024. The display boards for this PIC are available in an online format with a narrated video and online survey and can be viewed on the Kennedy Road Sanitary Trunk Sewer Project webpage. Please review the files and share your feedback through the survey until February 14, 2025.

PIC #2 is planned for Spring 2025 with similar notification. Once the study is complete, results will be published in an Environmental Study Report (ESR) and will be made available for public review and comment.
