Healthy Yards Webinar Series
We are still exploring design options for the stormwater features for Countryside Park. We will be providing updates about an open house when we have a design to share. Thank you for your patience!
In the meantime, some of you have asked, “What more can be done in our neighbourhood to reduce the amount of runoff that reaches the park/creek?”
As you know, we are working to better manage runoff in Balzer Creek with a stormwater project in Countryside Park. Meanwhile, our partner Reep Green Solutions, can help residents who live upstream from the project manage rain and reduce runoff that reaches the park.
The Rain Smart Neighbourhoods Project helps you plan projects for your yard that will help reduce flood risk in the neighbourhood by planting more trees, building rain gardens, soaking up rain in permeable paving, and more.
This spring, join Reep’s Healthy Yard Webinar Series to learn how you can make changes in your yard that will improve the nature in your neighbourhood and extend the benefits of this project! You can also learn more about Healthy Yard Consultations, available to residents who want to help reduce flood risk for the neighbourhood with actions in their own yard.
