Grants and Contributions

The project activities include the development of hydrodynamic models for the Icelandic River and Swan River, generating maximum water level and depth for floods of various magnitudes including a 1:200 year flood, and producing 1 in 200 year flood maps for select communities along the Swan River and Icelandic River.

This application is for Phase Three (2021/2022) and involves the identification of a minimum of six high priority watersheds and their constituent communities, that will serve to: (a) field test the technical specifications and guidance documents directly with willing municipalities, (b) prepare detailed flood maps for the communities involved in the study area, (c) lay the groundwork for the full provincial roll-out of the flood line mapping project, and (d) prepare the way for the next steps, which involve using flood line maps to implement the NS Statement of Provincial Interest on Flooding.

For the province of NL, a total of 3 projects for a total of $600,000.00 in PS funding. There are similarities between the projects’ activities, however they do vary from one another. The projects purpose is to increase the resiliency of communities at risk from flooding events

For the Province of Alberta, a total of 15 projects for a total of $892,000 in PS funding. All projects have as objective to increase the resiliency of communities at risk from flooding events. Projects may be conducted at the Provincial level, or the community level through further distribution of funds. Ultimate recipients of further distribution will be clearly indicated in the funding agreement.
