Junction Creek Subwatershed Study and Master Plan Open House

The City of Greater Sudbury invites residents to the first of a series of public consultation sessions for the Junction Creek subwatershed study. 

Wednesday, February 15 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
McClelland Community Centre, 37 Veterans Road, Copper Cliff

Thursday, February 16 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Terry Fox Sports Complex Clubhouse, 17 Lasalle Boulevard, Sudbury

The Junction Creek subwatershed study is the second of three studies currently underway. The Ramsey Lake subwatershed study started in 2016. The Whitewater Lake subwatershed study has been awarded; preparation is underway. 

The studies are made possible thanks to a $2.3 million grant from the province, allowing the City to complete nine watershed studies over two years. The studies will assess the health of several local watersheds and make recommendations surrounding reducing erosion, preventing flooding and maintaining and improving water quality.

Residents wishing to provide feedback are welcome to attend any of these consultation sessions or submit online atwww.greatersudbury.ca/watershedstudy.  

The City of Greater Sudbury remains committed to improving lake water quality and the protection of our local watersheds through the subwatershed study 2016-2018.
