Consultation
Public consultation today plays a decisive role in the development of projects that affect public interest. Mandated by regulatory bodies and a prerequisite to project approvals, the success or failure of the consultation process can significantly impact the timing, cost – and ultimate viability of your project.

Participant Involvement
The Regulatory requirements and expectations of the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) Directive 56 and Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) Rule 007 requires the project proponent to assume responsibilities for involving the public and to be aware of circumstances or applications where the participant involvement program should meet or exceed the requirements and recommendations set out in the regulations.
