The public consultation process

The plan included public and Indigenous communities’ consultation. Due to the significant public interest and impact of the works in downtown Paris between the William Street bridge and the Grand River Street bridge, it was recommended that this portion of the project undergo further assessment to include additional technical investigations and public and Indigenous communities’ consultation. Public consultation is important for the success of this project.

A virtual public meeting was held on June 21, 2021 from 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm. A recorded presentation was also posted so interested community members can view the information and submit questions ahead of the virtual meeting.

The Paris Flood Risk Mitigation Master Plan was also available for review between April 27, 2022 to July 4, 2022. The Plan is available online and at the Burford and Paris Customer Service Offices.
