What is a Major Project?
Major projects range in scope, scale and complexity, but they typically have a significant capital investment and involve multiple and complex government authorizations.
Once a proponent begins the applications process, the Ministry considers it an ‘active’ project. This does not necessarily mean that work is being done on the ground, it means that the provincial permitting process has been started and that the project is under review.
