Open House: Lake Ontario Shoreline Hazard Management Plan

In Upcoming Events

Property owners along the Lake Ontario shoreline from Quinte West to Whitby are being invited to share their input regarding updates to the Lake Ontario Shoreline Hazard Management Plan.

In 1990, Lower Trent Region (LTRCA), Ganaraska Region (GRCA) and Central Lake Ontario (CLOCA) Conservation Authorities completed a collective `Shoreline Management Plan’ for the Lake Ontario Shoreline to guide shoreline management within their respective jurisdictions.

Coastal engineering consultants with Zuzek Inc. have been hired to update the 1990 Plan. The major goal of the Shoreline Hazards Management Plan is to provide the necessary scientific and engineering analysis to manage the Lake Ontario Shoreline. Effective shoreline management means that residents, landowners, municipalities and conservation authorities have the information and tools to:

1. Minimize danger to life and property damage from flooding, erosion and associated hazards along the shoreline;

2. Ensure that shoreline development adequately addresses hazards through a combination of public and private management and development alternatives; and

3. Ensure that new development does not impact the environmental features and functions of the shoreline.

OPEN HOUSE DETAILS
When: November 7, 2019 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM (Doors will open at 6:30; presentation by Zuzek Inc. at 7:00: followed by Q&A until 8:00.)

Where: Rotary Hall, Keeler Centre, 80 Division Street, Colborne
