Over the next two years, we will host a series of activities designed to provide you with relevant information so that you can share your insight and expertise.
Your input will help us prepare a Land Use Plan that balances diverse perspectives and enables the Port to fulfill its mandate to facilitate the growth of trade in the best interest of all Canadians.
Opportunities to participate include a series of stakeholder workshops, public open houses, online feedback and discussion guides.

Past events
Phase 2 Stakeholder Workshops and Open Houses
Three stakeholder workshops and three open houses were held in October and November, 2012. The purpose of the events were to:
- Report on activities and input received to date
- Present draft goals, objectives and policy directions
- Discuss draft and gather feedback
- Describe next steps in the Land Use Plan process.
Participants were also invited to fill in a feedback form on the draft goals, objectives and policy directions. The Phase 2 Consultation Summary Report will be available soon.
Phase 1 Stakeholder Workshops and Open Houses
Five stakeholder workshops and three open houses were held between April and June 2012. During this first phase, we invited a diverse range of stakeholders, customers, First Nations, and community members to help us gather information on each theme and identify the specific topics that matter most.
The objectives of the Phase 1 stakeholder workshops were to:
- Present and gather comments on our current information;
- Gather new and additional information for each workshop theme; and
- Identify top issues and questions for policy to address.
Summary Reports of all the information gathered during Phase 1 are now available.
