SUMMARY:Ecohealth In Action Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The 2017 Ecohealth In Action Workshop is planned as a day-long\, catered workshop that will be held in conjunction with the Ontario Public Health Association (OPHA) Fall Forum and World Town Planning Day. \nOne hundred guests–from the fields of public health\, planning\, medicine\, policy\, education\, conservation\, forestry\, parks & recreation and more–will participate in this year’s workshop\, building on our combined knowledge and inspiring action to enhance the quality and quantity of greenspaces. \nIn response to our changing world and climate\, public health organizations have begun collaborating with the environmental sector\, as well as individuals in planning and academia\, to assess and explore the effects of greenspace on physical and mental health. There are efforts underway to assess the implications of this evidence for public policy\, programs and planning decisions.  This workshop will feature inspiring speakers\, panels\, networking opportunities\, and interactive learning sessions exploring these ideas. EcoHealth In Action will facilitate the interdisciplinary dialogue necessary to put new ideas about health and its connection to the environment into action. \nParticipants will also explore and discuss EcoHealth Ontario’s new Greenspace and EcoHealth Toolkit. \nDr. Faisal Moola\, PhD will provide the keynote address. Dr. Moola is an adjunct professor in the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Forestry and has published works on ecology\, conservation biology\, and environmental policy in several books and journals. \nBreakfast\, lunch\, and refreshments provided. Please notify MJ Kettleborough via e-mail if you have any dietary requiements: mkettleborough@forestsontario.ca. \nFor more information\, please visit www.ecohealth-ontario.ca. \n

SUMMARY:Webinar – LID and Rainwater Harvesting Monitoring Results at Credit Valley Conservation Head Office
DESCRIPTION:12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. \nONLINE \n$49.00 CAD \nCorporate buildings and their associated parking lots account for a substantial amount of impervious area\, making them ideal areas for implementing low impact development (LID). Using LID practices to capture and treat stormwater from these areas can increase infiltration\, decrease runoff\, and reduce the stress on local stormwater infrastructure. As the City of Mississauga has recently introduced a stormwater charge and an associated credit program\, there is an additional financial incentive to install LID features in these areas. \nCredit Valley Conservation’s (CVC’s) Head Office provides an example of the types of LID practices that can be installed in a typical commercial location.  The property includes two permeable parking lots and a rainwater harvesting system. One of the permeable lots and the rainwater harvesting system are included as part of CVC’s LID monitoring program\, which is assessing the long-term water quantity and quality performance of these types of systems. \nThis webinar will give an overview of the performance of these stormwater treatment features. The permeable lot reduces stormwater volumes and reduces the load of a number of pollutants.   Key drivers for volume control performance will be discussed including rainfall total volumes and intensity. \nInfiltration testing of both permeable lots indicates that there are differences in the level of performance both between the two lots and within each lot. \nThe rainwater harvesting system has allowed CVC to reduce its stormwater impact and municipal water usage. The monitoring results demonstrate how the weather and the addition of water from a sump pump influence the usage of the system. \nThe results from this monitoring program have been used to inform CVC’s application for the stormwater change in the City of Mississauga\, and will help guide planned retrofits to the LID features at this site in order to maximize the stormwater credit benefit. \nContact: Julie McManus (CVC) at 905-670-1615 ext 247 or jmcmanus@creditvalleyca.ca \nRegister Online \n
