Public information centre - preserving our local watercourses, creeks and rivers

The City of Waterloo has initiatiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study for the City of Waterloo watercourse erosion master plan. 

The study area will focus on all watercourses within the City of Waterloo municipal boundaries. The main goal of the study is to provide a series of preferred alternatives for the protection, management and restoration of the watercourses within the city and to prioritize identified works.

The process
The study will foll the Master Planning Approach No. 2 in accordance with Environmental Assessment Act as per the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MEA) document, October 2000, as amended in 2007 and 2011 and will satisfy the requirements of Schedule A, A+ and B projects and will identify future Schedule C projects. The Class EA process includes public/external agency consultation, an evaluation of alternative solutions and alternative design concepts, an assessment of potential impacts associated with the proposed improvements and the development of measures to mitigate identified impacts.

We want to hear from you
Please join us to share your ideas and vision about what we can do to preserve our local watercourses, creeks and rivers.

Public participation will form an integral part of the Class EA Study to ensure that the ongoing concerns of the public and affected groups within the study area are identified, documented and assessed. The project team invites public input and ocmments and will incorporate them into the planning and design of this project.
