Flood Protection VanBuuren Drain

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.

Welcome to the VDRA

Our mission is to work with officials to fix flooding issues in the VanBuuren Municiple Drain basin, and to provide information to the residents that are effected by it.

Our postings will include a record of events.

The VDRA promotes awareness activities that are directed towards educating the public on the importance of addressing important issues, and aim to mobilize public opinion. 

Please support our advocacy efforts to inform the public of the current situation and influence the public and government officials to promote change for the better.
