Welcome to the City of Toronto website

Stakeholder consultation is an important part of the Class EA process. Extensive consultation has taken place at each phase of the Class EA process with the public, residents' associations, environmental groups, City agencies, boards and commissions such as the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), the Toronto Transit Commission, and Waterfront Toronto, as well as the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, the Department of Fisheries & Oceans, and Environment Canada.

This page provides a record of the public consultation materials that were available to the public during each phase of the Class EA study process.
