Protecting our Environment is More than a Promise

The Environment is an easy word to say, and to promise to protect it can be a hollow statement.  But we are making more than promises.  As we plan the budget for this year, we also plan the work that will be done.

In the 2007 Capital Budget, there are various environmental related projects to a total of $2,417,821.00 for Downstream Improvement Works.

These works include such items as:

The Don Mills Ditch Capacity Study.

Flood Emergency Response Plan Phase II.

Storm Water Management Facility Maintenance Manual.

Update Storm Water Management Guidelines.

Pamona Mills Creek - Implementation Plan

Down Stream Flood Storage Improvements (Hwy 7 / Woodbine)

Watercourse Erosion Remediation (6 sites)

TRCA Joint Studies

• Water Balance Pilot Study
• Sustainable Technologies
• Climate Change Analysis

The Budget has not been passed by Council as yet, but I want to keep you up to speed on our progress.
