NRC-IRAP
I am writing to acknowledge the completion of a successful R&D project funded by the National Research Council’s Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP).
Your firm’s performance on the project was excellent, and your team was a pleasure to work with.
The CANWET product that you have commercialized since the end of the project represents a strong step forward in your field, and you should be proud.
We wish you well in the successful commercialization of the technology, and the continued growth of your firm which will contribute to the Canadian economy.

Walton Development and Management
The Walton Group of Companies is a multinational real estate investment and development firm concentrating on the research, acquisition, administration, planning and development of strategically located land in major North American growth corridors. With nearly 90,000 acres of land under administration including 22 development projects, Walton is one of North America’s premier land asset managers.
Walton Development and Management L.P. (“Walton”) has retained Greenland International Consulting Ltd. (“Greenland”) to assist with our municipal infrastructure planning and engineering design for several new communities in the County of Simcoe, Ontario including environmental assessments and water resource analysis. Greenland is highly regarded in the industry for their professional approach to the environmental aspects of these projects and state-of-the-art decision support tools (such as CANWETTM) to address climate change adaptation, cumulative watershed impact, and adaptive management such as post-construction performance monitoring. Greenland’s business model is unique and has provided Walton with value-added deliverables through the use of best available science and solution-based methodology. This includes forming a landmark public/private sector phosphorous reduction program to protect a sensitive fishery habitat system within headwaters of the Nottawasaga River Basin for one of Walton’s projects in Simcoe County. Greenland’s CANWETTM model and other in-house stormwater management and climate change impact assessment tools were instrumental for Walton to establish long-term partnerships in this community, including the local municipality, Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority and other key stakeholders.

Town of Collingwood
As Public Works Chair for the Town of Collingwood, I would like to thank Greenland for providing exemplary services for the Raglan Street Local Improvement Project, including preliminary & detailed designs; coordination of all consultants; contract administration; and, construction inspection.
Greenland always maintained open lines of communication between the Town, Contractors, affected business and residents, and promptly responded to all questions and issues raised by the public. For the past decade, your firm has worked for the Town and strived for thoroughness and professionalism in order to address all of the Town’s project needs. The Raglan Street project was no exception so your team should feel proud with its successful outcome.
It has been a pleasure for the Town of Collingwood to do business with your team and the Town looks forward to using your professional engineering services again in the future. On a personal note, I would be pleased to serve as a professional reference when your firm bids on other municipal projects.
