SSHRC Case Studies: Town of Richmond Hill Pioneer Park Stormwater Management Rehabilitation Project

As part of the Public Outreach Grant SSHRC interns had the opportunity to work with policy partners on profiling some of their current projects. CC-RAI will be highlighting that work as part of series of climate change related case studies. The case studies were developed by all of the SSHRC interns in partnership with Knowledge Mobilization and their respective hosts, including the City of Toronto’s Environment Office, Region of Peel, York Region, Durham Region, ACER and the TRCA.

This week’s case study examines the Town of Richmond Hill and its efforts to improve flood control and erosion protection at the watershed level – keeping in mind the increasing importance of building climate change adaptation into ongoing muncipal planning and management strategies. The complete case study is now available.
