City developing climate adaptation plan to address flooding risks
The City of North Bay is developing a Climate Adaptation Master Plan to address flooding risks and prepare for extreme weather events. The plan is expected to be implemented by 2031 and will guide long-term infrastructure planning.
The City of North Bay is moving forward with a Climate Adaptation Master Plan to prepare for increasingly frequent extreme weather events. Recent flooding in the city, caused by the overflow of Chippewa Creek, highlighted the need for the plan. The plan will guide long-term infrastructure planning and reduce risks tied to climate change. The City will engage a consultant to assist in the development of the plan, which is estimated to cost $250,000. Work on the plan is expected to begin this year, with full implementation expected by 2031. Some projects aligned with the plan's goals are already underway, including a planned intake upgrade at the wastewater treatment plant.
