About the Study
Fergus Development Inc. (Geranium) has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) Study to evaluate alternatives for water and wastewater servicing required for the redevelopment of part of the Fergus Golf Club lands. The 18-hole golf course on the northeast lands will remain. The site location and approximate extent of the Study Area are shown on the map.
The project was conducted in accordance with the planning and design processes for Schedule C projects, as outlined in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2023) which is approved under the Environmental Assessment Act. The MCEA process includes: consultation with agencies, stakeholders, Indigenous communities and public; an evaluation of alternative solutions to address the project opportunity; alternative design concepts for the preferred solution; an assessment of potential environmental impacts; and identification of reasonable measures to mitigate any potential adverse impacts. At the conclusion of the Study, an Environmental Study Report (ESR) will be prepared for public review.
Public consultation is important to this Study. Fergus Development Inc. (Geranium) would like to ensure that anyone interested in this Study has the opportunity to provide input into the planning and design of the project. Fergus Development Inc. (Geranium) is inviting the public to attend Public Information Centres (PIC) for this Study. PIC #1 was held on June 1, 2023 (see links to PIC #1 materials below). A second PIC will be held September 11, 2023 (see link to PIC#2 materials below).
