Contribution awarded under the Policy Dialogue Program to Lesley Griffiths to assist in preparing for and engaging in participation activities associated with the ongoing Review of Legislative, Regulatory, and Policy Development Processes.

The project will naturalize a 10 acre stormwater pond for the City of Brandon’s cemetery expansion. The pond will feature a variety of native wetland species such as willow, grasses trees and shrubs. The project’s design elements include one active transportation pathway of approximately 500m, 6 signs and 2 benches.

The Crowsnest Trail Pathway Project will provide an active transportation connection between the City of Lethbridge’s regional pathway network and the WT Hill Business Park, a major commercial and employment area located in east Lethbridge, on the outskirts of the city. Although the regional pathway network connects most areas of the city, there are still a number of significant areas, such as the WT Hill Business Park, where gaps in the network exist. Building upon the City of Lethbridge Cycling Master Plan (2017), this project will provide a much-needed, two-kilometer connection for pedestrians, cyclists, and wheelchair users.

The Southeast Brandon Drainage Improvements Project is primarily intended to enhance the existing drainage system and secondly, expand upon the drainage network within southeast Brandon ultimately draining to the Assiniboine River. This multi-phased project includes the design and construction of new naturalized stormwater retention ponds, land drainage sewers, open channels and ditching that will greatly benefit the existing southeast area and its residents.
