Community tours were held from September 4 – 14, 2019. The tour was broken into two sessions as noted below. The sessions were designed to allow municipal leaders and other stakeholders to share their experiences with flooding and their ideas as to how the province can be better prepared in the future.

Feedback provided during the tour was used to assist in developing recommendations. Of note, both sessions included engagement sessions (held in groups), targeted engagement session (one-on-one meetings), and area-specific tours to help gain a complete understanding of the issues and impacts Ontarians are facing as a result of this spring’s flooding.
