Flood prevention night at Leaside High School

An important meeting to discuss causes of flooding in Leaside will be held Tuesday, November 26, 2013, in the Cafeteria room of Leaside High School, 200 Hanna Road. This is the public consultation portion of the city’s strategy to prevent flooding of the kind experienced in 2005 with the storm of August 19.  As we know,  Toronto has also been subject to serious flooding subsequently, most notably August 2009 and again this past July when two days of heavy rain stranded a GO train in the swollen Don River. This will be the First Public Information Centre to learn about the causes of flooding and the options that will be considered to address the problem in the study area. Everyone will have an opportunity to view information display boards and speak one-on-one with project staff.  Location and times again:  Tuesday, November 26, 2013 from: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at  Leaside High School
