January 2011 mail outs
We mailed several information packages in January 2011 to stakeholders in specific areas along the proposed project to gather their input about key project details. The information packages are about converter stations and telecommunications towers, communications system (repeater stations), Red Deer River crossing structures and Access trails.
If any of these project components are proposed on or near your property, you will have received the information packages that include detailed maps. The overview of the information is below.

What's next?
We will use the input we've received from stakeholders and information from activities such as field work to refine the preliminary route options. Later this year we plan to consult with stakeholders again about the refined route options through open houses, information centres and one-on-one consultations. Prior to the second stage of consultation we will mail a newsletter to stakeholders that will include the refined route options, updated technical details and project cost. We will advertise the open houses in local newspapers.
