NOTICE OF OPEN HOUSE MEETING

CITY OF LONDON CLIMATE CHANGE STUDIES COMPLETION

In 2007 Council approved a two-phased Climate Change Adaptation Strategy.
In 2008, in order to proceed with Phase I of the Climate Change Adaptation
Strategy, the City engaged a research team from UWO together with the
engineering consultant team from Delcan to undertake two studies: Updated
Rainfall Intensity Duration Frequency Curves and the City of London
Vulnerability of Infrastructure to Climate Changes. These studies benefited
from the UWO team’s internationally recognized for academic and unique
scientific knowledge which developed a scientific methodology and evaluation
for Climate Change together with Delcan’s team that applied practical
engineering expertise ensuring consistency and implementation of engineering
practices and standards. The conclusions and recommendations of these
studies provide a framework to support effective decision-making regarding
the City of London municipal and critical infrastructures’ vulnerability
under the extreme rainfall events in relation to operation, maintenance and
planning of these infrastructures as well as to proceed with Council
approved Phase II of the City’s Climate Change Adaptation Strategy for Water
Resources Management. The studies were adopted by City Council in August
2011.

This public meeting will present the major results and recommendations of
the studies and is an opportunity for the public to provide input as the
City moves forward with sub-watershed studies. The studies may be viewed
