On June 5th, 2024, Resilient Consulting had the opportunity to present to the City of Vaughan Committee of the Whole on the policy, procedure, criteria and standards for municipal non-conventional stormwater management facilities. After a year and half of research, stakeholder engagement, and deliverable finalization, the Team was prepared to take our recommendation forward to Council as the first step to acceptance of this policy. The meeting video and supporting documents are available on City of Vaughan website for those who are interested. Congratulations to Mark Bassingthwaite and Team for crossing this milestone on the first ever policy for underground municipal SWMFs!

Construction at McKenzie Park in Mississauga is wrapping up after yet another successful municipal underground stormwater management facility installation! This project serves as a flood mitigation measure to help alleviate existing flooding within the Cooksville Creek Watershed. This was a joint design effort between Resilient Consulting and RJ Burnside, with Marjorie MacDonald keeping construction on schedule with full-time inspection for the past 6-months. Restoration for a City Park space is underway and is expected to open for public use later this year!

Resilient is a proud sponsor and presenter at this years joint OWWA/WEAO annual conference. Come check out Becky Turbitt and Marjorie MacDonald on May 6th present the Lessons Learned through the development of a City policy, procedure and criteria for acceptance of underground stormwater tanks!

Post Earth Day posting - Nature and Infrastructure! While out at a bidders meeting, we discovered a family of beavers, including 4 young ones, hanging out in a water control structure. A good reminder that wildlife can be anywhere!

The annual Source to Stream conference is only a week away! Come check out our very own Becky Turbitt after lunch in Track 1 on Wednesday, March 27th. In partnership with the City of Vaughan, Becky will be presenting on the lessons learned during the development of a City policy, procedure, criteria and standards for non-conventional stormwater management facilities, also known as underground stormwater tanks!
