Notice of Study Commencement and Public Information Centre 1 – November 21, 2024
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.
To help achieve this goal, Peel Region is initiating a variety of projects, including a Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) Study for the Kennedy Road Sanitary Trunk Sewer Project. The Project will help ensure sewage capacity requirements are met by 2051 to support growth in Peel Region.
Study area
The EA for the Kennedy Road Sanitary Trunk Sewer Project will be taking place in the area between Old School Road in the Town of Caledon and at Etobicoke Creek and Kennedy Road South (north of Highway 407) in the City of Brampton. The Project will also include a connection from the existing Rutherford North Sanitary Trunk Sewer at Queen Street East.
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, we want to hear from you
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.
About PIC #1
Peel Region invites all interested community members to join the first online PIC to learn more about the Kennedy Road Sanitary Trunk Sewer Project. This PIC will be held in an online format with a narrated video and online comment form:
When: December 4th, 2024
Where: Visit the Kennedy Road Sanitary Trunk Sewer Project webpage
The information presented at PIC #1 will be available for the duration of the study. A second PIC will be held in early 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.
