Premier Doug Ford is set to make an announcement in Caledon, Ont., Tuesday morning.
According to a government advisory, Ford will be joined by the minister of labour and the associate minister of transportation.
You’ll be able to watch the news conference live in this story. It’s set to start at 9:30 a.m. ET.
Ford’s office hasn’t officially said what the announcement is about, however a long stretch of the proposed Highway 413 linking Halton, Peel and York regions would bisect Caledon — a small municipality north of Brampton.
The province said earlier this month that it hopes to begin construction on the new highway within a year, after reaching an agreement with the federal government preventing a potential court battle.
The deal allows the project to proceed without a full federal environmental impact assessment. News of the agreement was condemned by environmental groups and some of the opposition parties at Queen’s Park, who oppose the highway.
