The Municipality of Greenstone is starting an Environmental Assessment process. During this process, engineers will study ways to reduce and manage waste within the region of Greenstone. The goal is to create a long-term plan to manage and dispose of the Municipality of Greenstone's solid waste.
Three rounds of engagement are planned with the communities of Greenstone, Indigenous groups, and organizations in the area. Meetings with select rights-holder and stakeholder groups will occur in Fall 2022 with public workshops open to the public to follow.
