Environmental impact of proposed Highway 413

The new proposed GTA Highway 413 is being projected as an essential infrastructure project that would meet the region’s growing transportation needs. However, environmentalists claim that the project would decimate the region’s ecological balance, triggering serious environmental disasters, such as floods. Divya Arora, Head, Political Advocacy at Climate Community Council – a youth-led environment group in Region of Peel, and Jaspreet Kaur, a planner with a specialization in land development, talk about issues related to the project with Jatinder Gidda and Daksh Panwar on The Evening Show.
