Our unique business brand and accomplishments continue to grow because of the Board of Directors and employee commitments to innovation; attention to detail; and “personality of a Canadian social impact enterprise with a Greater Good impact”.
Our organization is committed to “Intelligent Technology” enabled solutions that has regard for science and validated open data, while also addressing cumulative (land, water and air) effects with climate change concerns (and opportunities). This allows us to maintain a competitive edge with proven and in-house, proprietary systems, while also embracing our entrepreneurial spirit that can engage complimentary strategic technologies and products.
GREENLAND® now provides Engineer-of-Record, Peer Review and Model Keeper Services for many Ontario Urban-Rural Growth Municipalities and Conservation Authorities. In terms of the latter, we were retained in 2025 by the Government of Ontario to provide multi-year “technical services regarding the review and issuance of permits under the Conservation Authorities Act”. This contract involves, and when requested, the use of our proprietary software to assist with these assessments that support the Government’s oversight of all permitting decisions under the Act. Finally, GREENLAND® was also retained in 2025 to provide multi-year civil and environmental engineering services for Infrastructure Ontario.

Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation
The Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation (ICCA) is a national applied research centre that focuses on mobilizing practical and cost-effective solutions to address climate change and extreme weather events. To this end, the ICCA is an incubator of new adaptation ideas, conducting research, knowledge mobilization and promoting initiatives aimed at de-risking the negative impacts of a changing climate and extreme weather. One of ICCA’s concerns is a growing uninsurable housing market in Canada relative to sewer backup.
ICCA believes the advanced technology and features of the SafeSump system can be instrumental to mitigating basement flood potential. I have one of the first prototypes of the SafeSump system installed in my home. I have interacted directly with the start-up founder. I view him as entrepreneurial and passionate, and have met other members of his team with whom I was similarly impressed. I am also familiar with Greenland Consulting Engineers, and congratulate SafeSump Inc. on their choice to create a joint “SafeSump” venture with Greenland.
ICCA looks forward to a supportive relationship with SafeSump Inc. upon the larger scale availability of their much-needed technology.

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
In March of 2013, Greenland International Consulting Ltd. completed a study for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada to estimate nutrient loading in small catchment of about 177 square kilometers in the La Salle River watershed in southern Manitoba using the CANWET 4 model. Given uncertainties in some input data and model parameters, the preliminary results using the CANWET 4 model for baseline conditions of stream discharge, nutrient concentrations and loads were satisfactory in our project team as simulated values were within the range of observed values during the validation period.
This study suggests the CANWET 4 modeling approach could be used to predict changes to nutrient loads from changing land use scenarios in watersheds of this region.

Interdisciplinary Centre on Climate Change
We are pleased to write in full support of the Canada-Europe Partnership, particularly the collaboration of the Interdisciplinary Centre on Climate Change (IC3) and the
Partners for Action (P4A) network to support incorporation of climate change considerations in the project and assist in testing FLOODVIEW with Canadian municipalities and insurers.
P4A and IC3 are dedicated to consideration of climate change in Canada’s approach to flood risk management, and dissemination of knowledge and best practices to the insurance industry, government decision-makers, and the Canadian public. We look forward to partnering with you to identify effective solutions to minimize urban flooding.
