The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency is making available $25,000 under its Participant Funding Program to assist individuals and groups to participate in the federal environmental assessment of the 407 East Transportation Corridor project in southern Ontario.
The Ontario Ministry of Transportation is proposing to construct an easterly extension of the 407 Transportation Corridor. The undertaking would consist of a highway and transitway, including the extension of mainline 407 from its current terminus at Brock Road to Highway 35/115 and two north-south links connecting Highway 401 to the proposed extension of Highway 407.
To receive funding, successful applicants must participate in the federal environmental assessment of the project.
A funding review committee, independent of the environmental assessment process, will consider all applications and make recommendations on the allocation of funds. Applications received by the Agency by June 23, 2010 will be considered.
Information on the program, including the Participant Funding Program Guide, the application form and the contribution agreement, is available at www.ceaa-acee.gc.ca. Information on the proposed project is also available on the Agency Web site in the Canadian Environmental Assessment Registry, under reference number 08-01-39781.
