Take Part in an Upcoming Lecture on Climate Resilience and Heavy Rainfall

The City of Pointe-Claire invites residents to the Climate Resilience and Heavy Rainfall lecture on Wednesday, September 10, from 7 to 9 p.m., at the Baie-de-Valois Nautical Centre (90 Du Bord-du-Lac – Lakeshore Road). This lecture focusing on climate resilience in the face of significant precipitation will be presented by engineer Marcel Roy, technical advisor and business development, and Kaleb Marris, a water resources expert with the JFSA organization. 

The City is aware of the impact that these extreme weather events can have on local homes and infrastructure. With this presentation, we offer residents tools to better understand the City’s network and the rainfall events that were once considered rare but are becoming increasingly frequent as the climate changes.  

The lecture will focus on several topics, notably:  

• Presenting the City’s stormwater and sanitation networks;  

• Describing stormwater management during normal and heavy rainfall, sewer backups and surface flooding;  

• Explaining the return period and probability of rainfall recurrence; 

• Understanding your property's vulnerabilities to the impacts of climate change; 

• Suggesting actions that can be taken to protect your home and minimize the impact of climate change.  

Registration  

To take part in this lecture, it is important to reserve your spot. Anyone wishing to attend the event must register. Please note that due to the limited capacity of the room, it will not be possible to admit people who have not reserved their place.  

However, if interest in this lecture far exceeds the room’s capacity, we will propose a new venue.   

Please note that the lecture will be recorded and made available on the City’s website so that those unable to attend can view it.
