The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority began a comprehensive engagement process about the project in 2011, early in project development and prior to the initiation of the environmental assessment process. We conducted four rounds of public engagement, and have participated in hundreds of project-related meetings and workshops with regulators, Indigenous groups, government, stakeholders, and the general public. The feedback we have received has served to enhance the project design and inform our mitigation measures, including additional offsetting measures that have been identified through Indigenous consultation, such as the Tilbury Enhancement Project and the removal of the intermediate transfer pit from the project design.

Below is a high-level overview of our consultation and engagement to date.

We incorporated contributions from over 50 experts, conducted over 200 one-on-one meetings with Indigenous groups, and organized 16 multi-group workshops to consult on our response.
