Public Notices/Announcements - North Bay - Public Info Sessions - Updated Floodplain Mapping
Floodplain management is an essential element of the North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority’s (NBMCA) mission to protect communities and the environment. NBMCA uses floodplain mapping and land-use planning to regulate development in flood-prone areas, reducing flood risks and ensuring the safety and resilience of urban and rural communities.
In the past five years, NBMCA has received funding from both the Province of Ontario and local municipalities to enhance floodplain mapping across the region. Ongoing mapping projects focus on four sub-watersheds: Chippewa Creek, Parks Creek, and Jessup’s Creek in City of North Bay and Lansdowne Creek in the Municipalities of Callander and East Ferris.
The public consultation period runs from January 20 to February 20, 2025, with four public information sessions:
