The virtual stakeholder focus group meetings will take place through the online platform, GoToMeeting, during the weeks of May 17th and May 24th. Each meeting is by invitation only and includes key stakeholders/representatives of the community. Meetings will include a short presentation followed by an interactive discussion. Each meeting is expected to last no longer than two hours.
