RES will hold a Public Community Drop-in Meeting on Thursday December 1st, 2022 from 5 pm to 8 pm at the Thamesville Royal Canadian Legion, 32 Victoria Street, Thamesville, ON
This project is very much at its preliminary & feasibility stage of development. That’s why we think it’s the best time to share our vision, present project components and timelines, outline the applicable permitting and regulatory processes we expect to engage, and especially receive your initial feedback.
We see this first occasion to meet in person as the start of a dialogue, leading to thorough consultation and engagement with all stakeholders. As we continue to evaluate the project, we will certainly be making additional efforts to engage with interested communities and stakeholders in the weeks and months ahead.
This will be an opportunity to discuss with Project representatives, learn more about the Project and raise any questions you may have.
