According to the Ontario Conservation Authority because of the Impacts of Climate Change we are experiencing more extreme weather events like heavy rain, snow, and violent thunderstorms.
The Government of Canada's Water Survey of Canada and Provincial/Territorial Flood Information says floods
can be one of the most damaging forms of natural disaster in the world.
Being aware of the risks of a flood gives us time to prepare and
potentially minimize the impacts.
So if there is plenty of funding and acts to protect us from flooding then why does the VanBuuren Drain flood our yards and buildings?
Why have we had 3 Drainage Superintendants come and go, and why do we now have a "Acting" Drainage Superintendant for West Lincoln?
Why, why, why, why won't they stop the flooding they have admitted that there is a problem? A Drainage Superintendant should have time to do their drainage job, after all, we have been in a drought for a long time.
Pourly drained soil,
climate change with extreme weather forcasts, lack of maintainance, and a Municiple drain that floods regularly for 16 years.
Absent Township officials, every time it rains we cringe.
