Additional Information and Feedback

The Sea-to-Sky Highway Improvement Project is committed to providing the public, media and stakeholders with as much information as possible. Much of this information is available on this website.

Here are the different ways you can follow the project, learn more and provide feedback.

  • Website
  • Public Access to Documents
  • Inquiries to the Sea-to-Sky Project Office
  • Feedback & Public Consultation

In some instances, particularly where the information concerned is commercially sensitive or related to ongoing negotiations, particularly regarding First Nations and property negotiations, the Sea-to-Sky Highway Improvement Project must balance the public interest in disclosure with the public interest in a fair process that delivers value for money through a commercial negotiation. In addition, releasing confidential, commercially-sensitive information could jeopardize the Ministry’s ability to negotiate a contract that delivers the best highway improvements at the most competitive price.
