Protecting our Communities
We’re planning projects using nature-based solutions in urban adjacent areas and upstream watersheds in priority regions including the Fraser Delta region of British Columbia, southern Ontario and southern Quebec.
Nature is the Solution
Wetlands are powerful tools in the race to prepare our communities for the impacts of extreme weather. They act as a sponge to help manage significant water fluctuations while offering a host of ancillary benefits like providing critical habitat to hundreds of species of wildlife, sequestering carbon, and filtering contaminants from our watersheds.
Against the Clock
Over the course of this decade, the average cost of severe weather claims is expected to grow by 138% to $5 billion per year according to the Insurance Institute of Canada’s (IIC) 2020 report. The consequences of inaction to our communities is untenable.
