Gorge #FloodAdaptation for Sea Level Rise #CommunityWorkshop By City of Victoria
Have your say on the future of the #GorgeWaterway and #PortageInlet.

Thursday, September 25 · 2 - 4pm PDT.
Doors at 1:45pm.
Esquimalt Gorge Park & Pavilion

Join us at this workshop to learn more about sea level rise in the Gorge and Portage Inlet and to share your knowledge, experience and values to help guide #SeaLevelRise planning for the area. A presentation will be followed by a #facilitated discussion that will help inform adaptation options to address sea level rise.

The workshop will cover the following topics:

Introduction to the Gorge Coastal #Flood Adaptation Strategy.
Sea level rise projections, including areas, #ecosystems and #infrastructure at risk in the Gorge
Possible #coastal adaptation approaches
Examples of coastal resilience initiatives along the Gorge
Activities to explore values informing future coastal planning

The feedback we receive will inform the Gorge Coastal Flood Adaptation Strategy, a collaboration between by the Township of #Esquimalt , the District of #Saanich , the City of #VictoriaBC and the Town of #ViewRoyal with support from the #CapitalRegionalDistrict.

Refreshments will be provided.

Registration is required. If we reach capacity for the event, we will take a waitlist and may add an additional event.
