We have begun floodplain mapping in the Upper Welland River watershed, covering nineteen tributaries to the Upper Welland River in Haldimand County, the City of Hamilton, West Lincoln, and Wainfleet.

This project uses updated data to better understand flood risk and support emergency planning, land use decisions, and community safety.

We're hosting two public information sessions to inform residents about the progress on this project.
