municipalities to follow a Class EA process when
undertaking municipal infrastructure projects.
The Leslie Street Watermain project is being carried out as
a Schedule A+ undertaking. A Schedule A+ undertaking is
pre-approved under the Class EA by the Ministry of the Environment and the project can be implemented upon
