This project aims to reduce climate related hazards, disaster risks, and build climate resilience within the vulnerable coastal region of the Town of Tecumseh, through the construction and improvements of 4 infrastructure assets: 1) decommissioning the St. Mark’s Pump Station; 2) constructing of a new consolidated Scully & St. Mark’s Pump Station; 3) improving the PJ Cecile Pump Station and; 4) improvements to storm trunk sewers at two locations to convey stormwater runoff to the consolidated Scully/St. Mark’s pump station and to re-route flows from the existing pump station site. Together, these investments will help improve the community resilience to flood. The project would begin construction in 2021 and end in 2027.

The 2013 southern Alberta floods were one of the most costly disaster in Canadian history and Albertan still remain vulnerable to extreme flood. The flooding affected thousands of people in the City of Calgary and downstream communities. The effects of this flood event on infrastructure, watercourses and people have raised awareness of the need to be better prepared for extreme weather in the future. The goal of the project is to construct an off-stream storage reservoir which would reduce the effects of future extreme flood events on the City of Calgary and other downstream communities.

The project is to carry out 141 fuel mitigation projects designed to increase the resilience of 84 at-risk Saskatchewan communities from catastrophic wildfire impacts. This project improves public safety and reduces wildfire threat for all stakeholders. Fuel mitigation projects are not meant to stop wildfires from occurring, the goal is to reduce the fire behavior so that the wildfires can be safely and effectively managed to prevent damage to property and lessen the danger to human life.
