The Department of Natural Resources is undertaking a consultation process regarding a review of the legislation that regulates quarry activity in the province. Consultations will help to develop modern and comprehensive legislation that strengthens the existing legislation and adopts best practices from other jurisdictions to support the development of the province’s quarry resources.
There have been several changes related to in-person consultation sessions:
- Due to weather conditions, in-person consultations in Labrador were rescheduled;
- A session has been added in Corner Brook; and
- There has been a change in venue for the St. John’s session.
