You can have your say on what a replacement for the George Massey Tunnel might look like. The first phase of consultations gets underway this Wednesday, Nov. 28 and runs through Dec. 19, with a variety of ways for the public to participate.

The launch of this planning process is the first important step to help the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure determine the most appropriate solution to meet the growing needs of families, commuters, businesses and others that rely on this crossing.
