WSP|MMM Group has undertaken a Land Use Plan and Zoning By-law project planning for the Batchewana Reserves on behalf of the Batchewana First Nation. The Land Use Plan will provide policies and direction on future land use while the Zoning By-law puts the plan into effect with legally enforceable by-laws relating to the different zones. The documents will be utilized as a tool to support responsible development and sound resource management.
