📌Notice of Study Commencement📌 Frenchman's Bay Watersheds Stormwater Management Master Plan Update.

The City is updating the Frenchman's Bay Stormwater Management (FBWSWM) Master Plan, which was completed in 2009.

The update will evaluate the efficiency of the current stormwater management system and examine new stormwater management alternatives in accordance with the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process for municipal stormwater projects. It will also develop a preferred stormwater management strategy towards achieving healthy watersheds, considering future growth and climate challenges.

Once completed, the Plan will act as a key decision-making guide.

💬Public engagement opportunities will be available throughout the study, including Public Information Centres.
