    Developing a Stormwater Quality Management Standard (QMS) in Light of a Changing Climate (Opens in a new Window)

    This report explores seeks to understand the role and scope of a risk and quality management standard that could be developed to assist municipalities, engineers and other professional practitioners in designing, operating, maintaining and continuously improving stormwater management systems, in light of a changing climate. It is intended to provide the foundation for a new National Standard of Canada, now being developed as CSA W211 Management Standard for Stormwater Systems by CSA Group, with funding from the Standards Council of Canada.

    Health of Canadians in a Changing Climate (Opens in a new Window)

    This assessment is the first comprehensive study of current and projected risks from climate change to the health of Canadians since 2008. It was developed by a team of more than 80 subject matter experts from regional and federal health authorities and academic institutions across Canada. It addresses the evolving knowledge needs of government decision makers, civil society organizations, and individual Canadians by providing evidence-based and, where possible, quantitative information to help people understand how Canada’s climate is changing, and the effects on health and health systems, including implications for those most at risk.

    Increasing High Wind Safety for Canadian Homes: A Foundational Document for Low-Rise Residential and Small Buildings (Opens in a new Window)

    This report provides the basis for the development of a set of commonly acceptable, relatively straightforward wind risk reduction measures that can be incorporated into new single-family home construction and significant renovations to reduce risk to life, health and property. Measures presented in this document are intended to reduce risk from high winds associated with tornadoes, hurricanes, and other types of extreme weather events.

    Reducing the Risk of Inflow and Infilitration (I/I) in New Sewer Construction: A National Foundational Document for the Development of a National Standard of Canada (Opens in a new Window)

    Every year across Canada, billions of litres of clean rain and groundwater leaks or flows into sanitary sewers and on to sewage treatment plants. This entry of excess water into sewers–referred to as inflow and infiltration (I/I)–shortens the lifespan of pipes, takes up capacity in the sewage network, and drives up costs for governments and taxpayers. This report compiles methods that can be applied when sewers are first constructed to limit the risk of I/I.
