I’m pleased to provide residents with an important update on the Kemp Park drainage project. Many of you have shared your concerns over the years about flooding and water management issues in and around Kemp Park, and I want to assure you that we’re taking action to address these challenges.
The drainage improvement project is designed to enhance stormwater management, reduce flooding risks, and protect the surrounding neighborhood during heavy rainfall events. This critical infrastructure work will help ensure Kemp Park remains a safe and enjoyable space for the community year-round.
To keep everyone informed throughout this process, the city has established a dedicated project website where you can access the latest information, project timelines, and technical details as they become available:

This online resource will be updated as the project progresses, so I encourage you to bookmark it and check back frequently for the most current developments.
City staff are also planning a public information session this fall where residents will have the opportunity to learn more about the drainage improvements, review project plans, ask questions, and provide input. While we are still finalizing the exact date and venue, we wanted to give you advance notice so you can plan to attend. Details about the session will be posted on the project website and announced through our usual community channels once confirmed.
Your engagement is vital to the success of this project. I encourage all residents to stay informed and participate in the upcoming information session to ensure this drainage solution meets our community’s needs.
