The Secretariat for the Joint Panel appointed to review the proposed Lower Churchill Hydroelectric Generation Project invites the public to attend information sessions in Newfoundland and Labrador.
The information sessions will give Aboriginal groups, the public, governments and other interested parties an opportunity to hear about how the joint panel review will proceed and how they can participate. Federal and provincial representatives who form the Secretariat will be making presentations and will answer questions. The Panel will not be present at these sessions.
The dates and locations of the information sessions are as follows :
Sessions in Natuashish, Hopedale, Sheshatshui and St. John’s will be held in late May or early June.

Further information on this project is available on the Canadian Environmental Assessment Registry, registry number 07-05-26178.
Nalcor Energy proposes to construct two hydroelectric generating stations with a total capacity of just over 3000 megawatts (MW) on the Lower Churchill River, together with transmission lines to connect the two generation sites to the existing Upper Churchill Project. The proposed generation stations would be located at Gull Island (2,250 MW) and Muskrat Falls (824 MW).
