Open ProvincesInstalling or modifying an antenna system: complete federal land-use and public consultation before construction
Check exclusions and the local protocol, notify affected people, respond in good faith and finish the process before construction.
A municipal permit or lease does not complete the federal process. The proponent may not begin installation before the applicable process is finished.
Confirm the scope
Describe location, height, structure, equipment, visibility, access, environment and compliance with Safety Code 6 and technical standards.
Prepare the information
Ask the land-use authority whether a local protocol exists and carefully check federal exclusions.
Complete the process
Prepare notice, radius, plans, site rationale and public consultation in both official languages when the procedure requires it.
Keep follow-up records
Answer concerns, document resolution attempts and obtain municipal concurrence or ISED involvement before construction.
