The municipality is looking for public input to help the C-K Lake Erie Shoreline Study.
The input is intended to help shape a presentation on the study to be made to Chatham-Kent Council Monday night.
Author Peter Zuzek will be presenting highlights of the 181-page report before council.
“The sheer volume of the information in the study makes it impossible for Mr. Zuzek to review every item in it during a council session,” said Thomas Kelly, Chatham-Kent General Manager of Infrastructure and Engineering Services. “We have made the study available online and ask that anyone who has questions about a particular section or topic to please forward those questions to us in advance. We will then pass the questions on to Mr. Zuzek to be addressed.”
The study, two years in the making, explores the influence of climate change on future coastal hazards due to changes in storms and ice cover and the associated challenges for the coastal communities of Chatham-Kent. The Municipality, along with the Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority, researchers from Zuzek Inc., and the University of Waterloo collaborated on the study.
