Engagement Summary
The Environmental Assessment Office (or the EAO for short) is a neutral regulatory agency within the provincial government and conducts environmental assessment to ensure that any potential environmental, economic, social, cultural and health effects that may occur during the lifetime of a major project are thoroughly assessed. The EAO engages with scientific professionals, Indigenous groups, proponents, the public, local governments, and federal and provincial agencies to ensure that no adverse effects are missed.
