Maureen Nakonechny, Program Manager, Flood Mitigation, provided an update on flood mitigation, noting that more information will be available to the Committee once Administration has presented it to the residents of Edgewater Court. It is anticipated that construction related to Reach 5 would start in late summer 2022 and public consultation relative to conceptual options for Reach 6 would occur in July/August, 2022.

It was confirmed that the temporary berms will be removed as construction goes ahead in the area and that municipal staff has been looking at erosion along the riverbank.
