For Residents

Bearspaw Public Consultations

There were 113 homes flooded during the 2004 rainstorms in Bearspaw. Based on residents' input, Drainage Services has finished a concept design. This upgrade would reduce the risk of flooding in Bearspaw, improve the function of the lake and provide more temporary storage during rainstorms.
