Summary
Hurontario Light Rail Transit Project
The Hurontario Light Rail Transit Project (HuLRT) will transform the way people in Brampton and Mississauga live, work, and move. Rapid transit covering 18 km in a dedicated right-of-way, with 18 at-grade stops and one underground station means a greener future and more choices for transit riders, drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.
We are looking for an enthusiastic Community Connector to engage with the public to have their voices heard. Designed for proactive public engagement, the Canvass gives residents and businesses directly impacted by construction the opportunity to raise any questions and concerns they may have about the project. Not only will the program aim to benefit the most impacted areas of the LRT, but it will find ways to proactively mitigate potential challenges as we move forward with construction.

- Distribute project collateral including a regularly updated project brochure, ‘sorry we missed you’ cards and information
- Collect contact information and responses to surveys to help inform decisions and learn more about stakeholder needs and business operations as the HuLRT project progresses through the major construction phase
- Organize information sessions in public areas, lobbies and community rooms
- Meet quotas/targets set out in project goals
