- Subsequent to the release of the Background Study on July 20, 2023 it was identified that Schedule 2 in Appendix A included a labelling error. In the column "Development Location", the Town of South Bruce Peninsula and the Municipality of South Bruce were reversed. This has been corrected. This correction does not impact the calculations throughout the report.
