Clarence Rockland Mayor Mario Zanth would like to see a comprehensive study undertaken to develop the appropriate management tools and practices to reduce the occurrences of flooding of the Ottawa River.
Mayor Zanth has put forward a notice of motion for Wednesday night’s council meeting that will ask the federal government to conduct a third party study of the Ottawa River to provide the Ottawa River Planning Board better tools to adapt the river to the influence of climate change and the impact of development.
Citing flooding that occurred in 2017, 2019 and this past spring, Mayor Mario Zanth says municipalities along the Ottawa River are concerned with the ability of the planning board to manage the Ottawa river, particularly during the freshet period.
