Pinecrest Neighbourhood Rain Project

The City of Ottawa has started a new project called the Pinecrest Creek/ Westboro Stormwater Management Retrofit plan to reduce the harmful impacts of stormwater.

The Pinecrest Neighbourhood Rain Project is a part of this larger plan that is designed to teach residents how to manage rainwater runoff, add beauty and value to their properties with low maintenance landscaping, protect their homes from flooding, and keep our creeks and rivers healthy.

You can fill out a survey on the site for the opportunity to win a rain barrel kit.
