Greenland and Dr. Goss played an important role in identifying issues with the initial study proposal.
This led to the Province and Williams Treaty First Nations reaching a resolution based on manageable terms.

Check out this (Greenland) video of THREATS (an open-source cumulative effects assessment tool to help direct environmental management (industrial or other)) and/or planning of future projects. It enables the compiling and juxtaposition of public environmental data (including, but not limited to, wildlife use areas and environmental quality data) with on-site or "targeted" environmental data. For security, the provision to include data protected behind a firewall exists to enable analysis and comparison of potentially sensitive data in the context of other datasets. The goal here is to allow for predictive capability and in turn mitigate potential effects. Equally, this provides a capacity to enable retroactive assessment (investigation of cause) of observed changes. The ability to spatially interpret stressor/pathway/receptor data, and conduct analyses within the tool, while retaining data in its original database (secure) is what is truly unique here. Excited to see what can be achieved with this powerful platform in areas where it has already begun to be used!

RE: Town of Collingwood - Master Stormwater Management Final Report
Your team did a great job conveying the output of your work to the Development Committee last night. I think the analysis was well understood by Members, and that there is confidence in the approach you have taken to the work. This topic is very important for Collingwood, and it is great to have this intelligent analysis from which to continue to leap forward.
Sincerely,
