FL stopped into City Hall the other day and requested some of the background information regarding the Environmental Impact Study (EIS) and the Environmental Implementation Report (EIR) for the Victoriaview North Subdivision (61M-137). I advised FL that I would look in the file to find the comments provided by the City’s Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) and the Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) for both documents.
Here’s a brief timeline regarding the environmental work for this subdivision, including 15 Carere Crescent:
