Britannia Village Flood Control Project

The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, in cooperation with the City of Ottawa, has started a planning and design process for the Britannia Village Flood Control Project. This project will protect parts of the Britannia Village community that would otherwise be affected by flooding during future Ottawa River floods. Its purpose is to reduce expected property damages, public safety risks and inconvenience in this existing community during flood events up to and including the 1:100 year flood.
 
In September 2007, City of Ottawa Council approved a funding arrangement for a remedial flood control project. The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority has agreed to undertake the design, construction and long-term management of the flood control system.
 
Below are several information pieces that may be useful to area residents and property owners.
