What field studies are being conducted?
Impact Assessment
The Government of Canada is committed to ensuring that the views of Canadians inform the future direction of Alto. Early engagement and outreach to communities and Indigenous Peoples has begun.
Engagement will continue throughout the various phases of the project, including for the purpose of various regulatory reviews like the federal Impact Assessment required under the Impact Assessment Act and the Canadian Transportation Agency’s review required under the Canadian Transportation Act.

Indigenous knowledge
The participation of Indigenous peoples is essential to the success of the Alto project. The knowledge and guidance of Indigenous communities and organizations will be critical to informing project plans and development, including our field studies program. We are seeking and welcoming guidance from Indigenous communities and organizations to ensure any knowledge shared is treated with respect, and in accordance with community protocols. Alto confirms that Indigenous knowledge will be incorporated and considered throughout the lifecycle of the project.
