Updates to AUC Engage to enhance stakeholder consultations

The AUC has integrated its existing AUC Engage consultation platform into the AUC’s external website to increase efficiencies and streamline stakeholder consultation procedures. 

AUC Engage is a web tool that allows interested participants to engage in consultation discussions regarding AUC rules and potential changes to processes that shape technical regulatory requirements.  

Existing AUC Engage accounts have been deleted and users will be required to create a new log in using the new platform. The modified platform is live on the AUC’s website as of December 1, 2023.
