KBCA meeting to discuss flood risks, insurance KANATA BEAVERBROOK COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION The Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association is hosting a meeting about stormwater management in western Ottawa and the risks of flooding in residential neighbourhoods. The “Watergate” meeting will be held at the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Centre, located at 2 Beaverbrook Rd. on Wednesday, Nov. 16, starting at 7 p.m. Flood risk is increasing and insurance rates are on the rise. Find out the possible causes and what you can do about it. Over the past couple of decades the communities in Ottawa’s West End have experienced massive growth and development. In order to accommodate this growth natural waterways have been altered in the Carp River floodplain. West end sewage is now sent to the east side of Ottawa in large collector sewers rather than being treated locally after the Watts Creek Sewage Treatment Plant was closed in 1996. Storm water ponds and streams have been stressed to their limits. Climate modeling predicts increased precipitation and an increase in intense storms, mainly in the form of rain. In the last few years, many Beaverbrook
Nutcracker
homes have also experienced repeated incidents of flooding. The insurance industry knows that there are problems and we are seeing our premiums rise. Please join us in a discussion of west end water management. Presentations will be given by Glen Cairn resident Faith Blacquiere who will share her perspective on stormwater and wastewater management in the west end. Faith’s experience has been gained through researching the causes of the frequent flooding that has plagued Glen Cairn, and researching alternative causes of flooding which were not considered in the Kanata north and Stittsville flood investigations. Also joining us will be Paul Renaud from the South March Highland Carp River Coalition. Renaud’s extensive research into the South March Highlands has led to Ontario’s Ministry of Natural Environment recently recognizing the Kizell system as a protected area. Following the presentations we will conduct an interactive discussion. Let’s hear the news, ask questions, and give feedback. Prepare to monitor and update.
