Why is the public being consulted on the proposed Crownland transfer?
Before provincial Crown land is transferred, the Province of Ontario engages in a public consultation process. The Missanabie Cree First Nation has agreed to participate with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ontario Secretariat for Aboriginal Affairs in this process. Information is available on the provincial Crown land proposed for transfer, and Ontario is seeking public comment on the proposed transfer of provincial Crown land and the necessary amendments to the Ministry of Natural Resources Crown Land Use Policy Atlas. The proposed transfer is being evaluated as a Category B Project under the Class Environmental Assessment for MNR Resource Stewardship and Facility Development Projects.
