Public Consultation

The development of a comprehensive Communications Plan is critical to the overall success of this project and the acceptance of the Environmental Assessment (EA) and construction activities by the public and regulatory agencies.

We are proposing a comprehensive Communications Plan that takes into consideration the results of a thorough stakeholder sensitivity analysis and is conducted in three stages. We intend to engage all stakeholders and regulatory agencies through various forms of communication across multiple mediums. Stage 1 will be conducted during the Environmental Assessment (EA) Phase of this project and will consist of two major activities:

• An Information Bulletin announcing the Environmental Assessment (EA) required for the project and the project’s goals, objectives and benefits to the Regional Municipality of York and the Town of Newmarket. This Information Bulletin will be distributed door-to-door to all members of the public expressing interest and local residents and business owners/operators adjacent to the site who may be impacted by th...

    To-date, we've not had any issues or environmental concerns that directly effected nor incidentally impacted my community. Nonetheless, I think a great method to improve the public's awareness of the range of accessible information would be best to be advised of (or, reminded about) the website when the local news forecast relates to environmentally-related health issues. Additionally, if the K-12 education sectors are uninformed, they should be appropriately included on a rotating schedule. Children are natural “monitors” to help adults remember such matters. Plus, I imagine it would be excellent environmental educational “training” for successive generations.

  • Public Interest Defence Essay

    816 Words  | 2 Pages

    The public interest defence was created by the deformation act 2013, to protect defamatory material. The concept of public interest can be a vague term. What one might consider public interest someone else may not? For example, some people believe celebrity gossip is the public interest. The public recognises the term public interest and it is used as a defence for media intrusions of privacy. Everyone has the right to privacy, but sometimes this is not the case. Depending on the person or the organisation this can be invaded depending on the degree of the public interest. In order for something to be in the public interest, the subject has to be of interest for a collective amount of people not just for an individual. The breaches of exposing privacy would be exempt if it was to be to expose crime if an investigator was to breach someone’s privacy but they were exposing crime, which would be of public interest, and then this would be acceptable. Protecting the public health or safety of the public is also an exception, protecting the public from being misled. Also disclosing someone’s failure or likely failure by any obligation they have. In order for these reasons to become except the publication will need to justify why this would

    The quality of air we intake on a daily basis is essential to our health, therefore, the EPA’s Clean Air Act provides the groundwork to support the quality of the air which we breathe. One of the goals of the Act was to set and achieve NAAQS in every state by 1975 to address the public health and welfare risks posed by certain air pollutants. The setting of these pollutant standards was coupled with directing the states to develop state implementation plans (SIPs), applicable to appropriate industrial sources in the stat...

  • Public Opinion

    1931 Words  | 4 Pages

    Every citizen in the United States is a principal to one of the most powerful agents in the entire world, the president. And in order to avoid many principal-agent dilemmas, it must be necessary for the people to maintain control of their agent more than once every four years at the ballot box. This control takes the form of public opinion on a daily basis. How exactly does public opinion shape the expansive powers for the President of the United States? Is it more beneficial to the president for achieve policy goals or is it more necessary to constrain the already growing power of the presidency? Over time and through many technological advancements such as radio or internet, the president has become more available to the people and therefore the relationship between the two has become stronger. In numerous situations, this relationship has become a “two-sided blade” for power. Public opinion is inarguably the strongest check and balance of the presidential position and prevents the creation of grossly unpopular policies; however, there are certain situations where public opinion can be manipulated to gain greater informal power.

  • Private vs Public Good: An Examination through Literature

    1000 Words  | 2 Pages

    Private good prevails over public good, as people tend to act in their self-interest. They want what they think will propel their life forward. Private good only gives us a temporary pleasure that influences us to want more. On the other hand, public good generates a sense of contentment to the individual, which can spread to the rest of society. Ideally, public good should be more pursued for an individual to embrace a good life as it encompasses happiness that private good cannot produce. “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” and “The Prisoner Who Wore Glasses” demonstrate how people make choices for their own benefit, one where a family’s privacy is violated and the other where bribery reigns. Both readings also illustrate that interest in the public good would help maintain a good life and the outcome of the choices would be favorable to the majority.

  • Convincing the Public

    1406 Words  | 3 Pages

    Living in the 21st century means living with basic health care facilities. Dying of preventable diseases is unacceptable, and yet an inmate in one of California’s prisons died every six to seven days (Saunders). All people should have access to basic hygiene and decent health care. But when it has to do with an inmate it becomes a fight on how much is too much. On one side J. Clark Kelso argues in his article “California Must Spend More on Prison Health Care,” that health conditions in prisons need to be dramatically improved. On the other hand, in her article “California Should Not Spend Excessively on Prison Health Care,” Debra Saunders debates that California should not spend too much on already improved prison health care. They both use a variety of effective argumentative strategies but their different methods also set them apart.

    Environmental impact assessment (EIA) entails a multifaceted appraisement of the possible aftermath caused by a project or action on the surrounding man-made and natural environment (Wood, 2003). This systematic process requires the involvement of all interested stakeholders in the process and the public, in order to achieve a widespread consent on the planned project and mitigation strategies proposed [European Commission (EC), 2014].

  • The Public Choice

    1595 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Public Choice For some parents, deciding on a school for their children can be a difficult decision. Many parents do not spend much time thinking about it; they place their children into the local school designated by where they live. Others attended a private school themselves and found that it was a beneficial experience and therefore want the same for their kids. But which is better: private schools or public schools? While there are many advantages and disadvantages to each (nothing is going to be absolutely perfect), we are going to focus on the benefits of an education in the public school system, or in other words, schools funded by the government that are for anyone to attend.
