Notice of Study Commencement


The City of Ottawa has initiated the preparation of a Stormwater Management Strategy. This initiative, which will take approximately eighteen months to complete, will provide a long-term plan to guide the safe and effective management of stormwater runoff from urban and urbanizing areas while sustaining the health of urban streams and rivers.

Preparation of the Stormwater Management Strategy will be carried out as a Master Plan in accordance with the requirements of Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment.

Public input is vital - Please participate!

All individuals and groups with an interest in stormwater management are encouraged to participate in the development of the Stormwater Management Strategy. Future opportunities for public comment and input will be advertised in local and daily newspapers and via a mailing list being compiled for this initiative. To be included on the mailing list and to provide information for consideration in the development of the Stormwater Management Strategy, please contact the Project Manager noted below.
