Human Environment (People) Effects Assessment High Priority

Require a 'Health Service Capacity Mitigation Plan' that funds the expansion of the Mary Berglund Community Health Centre and regional hubs prior to the start of the construction phase.

Strategic Rationale

The Proponent's submission admits that the Mary Berglund Community Health Centre is 'operating near capacity' and lacks space for expansion, while also noting significant gaps in mental health and crisis response. The influx of a large industrial workforce will inevitably overwhelm these fragile services, potentially displacing Melgund residents who already face barriers to accessing care. Monitoring the situation is insufficient; capacity must be built before the impact occurs. This recommendation provides a tangible opportunity for the Proponent to improve community well-being by addressing existing deficits as part of their project footprint. The expected result is an upgraded regional health infrastructure that can accommodate both the project's needs and the existing population's requirements without degrading the quality of care for local residents.
