NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE No. 1:
Long Point Region Conservation Authority Flood Hazard Mapping and Risk Assessment
Long Point Region Conservation Authority (LPRCA) has initiated a project to update and create new flood hazard mapping focused on flood-vulnerable communities within its watershed. Accurate floodplain mapping is required to support land use planning and permitting decisions, flood-related emergency response and mitigation planning in at-risk communities. This project will also update municipal risk assessment information for flood hazard mapping, inventorying at-risk infrastructure and estimating damage potential. The project will be completed by early 2020.
To share project information and receive public feedback, LPRCA will be hosting Public Information Centres (PICs) in several locations across the study area. Two rounds of PICs will be held, with the first set of sessions scheduled at the following locations:
| Date | Location | PIC Study Area |

Landowners and members of the public are invited to attend the PICs to contribute knowledge of local conditions and learn about project findings. The PICs will be open house events with no formal presentations. Staff from LPRCA, local municipalities and Wood, Environment & Infrastructure Solutions will be available to answer questions relating to the project.
The scope of this project is limited to updating the hazard mapping using current technology and resources. Updates to policies and plans are not included in the scope of this project. Public consultation requirements for any resulting amendments to the regulated area of Ontario Regulation 178/06 made under the Conservation Authorities Act will be met by the PICs.
Project comments and input provided at a PIC will be maintained on file for use during the study and may be included in study documentation.
