a land lease for access and staging have been needed with the provincial government, municipal authorities and private land owners. Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Transport Canada have authorized large dam projects. Public Services and Procurement Canada have assisted with some of the contract tender processes and, at times, overall project management. According to Britton, big projects require big solutions. Where the original builders might have used hand tools, today, builders use heavy machinery. A dam in what was once the middle of remote wilderness or farmers’ field now sits at the centre of a thriving community. “There are modern challenges that come with closures to certain areas and disruptions in traffic,” says Britton. “There can be a lot of noise and vibration centred around a project. All of this can cause concerns among residents and business owners. Parks Canada has made efforts throughout the program of work to ensure pre-project, proactive engagement has occurred, and then ongoing updates on projects have been communicated to the public and stakeholders, along with efforts in planning and executing projects to minimize the impacts as much as possible.” Esson Lake Earth Embankment 50 FEB 2023 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
