Description

ESRD has established the WRRP to promote the long-term ability of watersheds to mitigate the effects of future flood and drought events. The primary objective of the program is to increase the natural ability of the province's watersheds to reduce the intensity, magnitude, duration and effects of flooding and drought through watershed mitigation measures. Additionally, the program aims to address impacts of past flooding and/or droughts through the restoration of degraded priority areas of watersheds which will enhance communities' ability to withstand future flooding or droughts.

The Canmore Flood Control Advisory Committee (CFCAC) was established in November 1974. Comprised of seven citizens from Canmore and the immediate area, the Committee was formed with two purposes in mind, first, and foremost, to provide a liason between the Canmore community and the Department of Environment.
