Introduction
Quinte Conservation, in partnership with local municipalities and the Government of Canada’s National Disaster Mitigation Program, and in collaboration with Zuzek Inc. Consultants, have completed a shoreline study that includes information to aid in further protection of Bay of Quinte and Lake Ontario shorelines, as well as safeguarding coastal communities from hazards related to flooding and erosion.
Project Partners
This project is a joint initiative with regional partners including Prince Edward County, the City of Belleville, the City of Quinte West, the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, the Town of Deseronto, and the Town of Greater Napanee. 50 percent of the funding is provided by the Government of Canada’s National Disaster Mitigation Program and the other 50 percent is shared by municipal partners. This project was completed in 2022.
