Stakeholder Committee EA Meeting #1 – January 14, 2016
The first Stakeholder Committee meeting for the Scarborough Waterfront Project was held on January 14, 2015. This meeting was the first engagement with the Stakeholder Committee as part of the Environmental Assessment phase of the project.
The primary purpose of the meeting was to preview the materials and format for the first Public Information Centre (PIC) for the Environmental Assessment phase. Through this preview of draft panel displays, a dry-run of the presentation, and discussion of the meeting format for the PIC, Stakeholder Committee members were given an opportunity to provide feedback on the upcoming public session while providing their own input on Alternatives and Evaluation Criteria/Indicators.
Discussions with the Committee during the meeting yielded a number of comments on individual alternatives. Significant feedback was also received on the presentation and panel format and how best to communicate content to the public. The feedback from the Stakeholder Committee, as in prior meetings, was very helpful for the project team. Incorporation of this feedback led to improvements in how complex information was communicated to the public.

An optional Stakeholder Committee workshop for the Scarborough Waterfront Project was held on September 23, 2015. The meeting presented an opportunity for Committee members to learn about and provide feedback on the Preliminary Draft Alternatives for the Project.

The Alternatives presented included potential connections along the top, connections along the bottom and connection between the top and bottom of the bluffs.
