GRCA eager to work alongside Province on building flood resiliency

To The Haldimand Press

The Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) is eager to continue working with the Province of Ontario on building flood resiliency with a focus on protecting people and property in the Grand River watershed. The report on flooding in Ontario conducted by Doug McNeil, Special Advisor on Flooding, outlines 66 recommendations to improve the province’s resiliency to flooding.

During his review, McNeil spent time meeting with the GRCA and other conservation authority staff, as well as municipal and provincial government officials, soliciting feedback on flooding challenges and opportunities before touring various areas, including the flood mitigation infrastructure in Cambridge and Brantford.
