Strategic Collaborations

Since 1994, GREENLAND ® has participated (as the sole private industry partner) with environmental protection, climate change mitigation and municipal infrastructure research. The organization provided niche expertise and where each opportunity was of high-value to further scale the organization’s consulting services and, when funding was available, further develop its proprietary software decision support systems.

Notable endeavours, with esteemed teams affiliated with Universities, Governments and/or Indigenous Peoples of Canada, have included the following:

Stormwater management facility performance and maintenance (& first Canadian focus from 1994 – 2000);
Surface and groundwater modelling and development of Canada’s first web-based information platform (aka CANWET™ developed after the Walkerton water crisis) and used for the ‘Lake Simcoe Protection Plan’.
Watershed health monitoring tools and for the development of best management practices ;
First application of LiDAR mapping in Ontario for river basin protection projects;
Assessment of green roof & vegetated or “breathing wall” technologies for new & retrofitted buildings;
Identify / implement alternative chemical application methodologies to eradicate invasive fish species;
Test and validate marketable products for removing filterable reactive phosphorous from water bodies;
Evaluation of mobility access systems (incl. “Smart Door” prototype);
Design performance verification of Green Infrastructure / Low Impact Development (LID) practices and the development of intelligent / web-based ‘Smart’ Storm Water mitigation technologies; and,
Development of an A.I. watermain distribution condition assessment platform for use within the Great Lakes Basin (On-going: 2025 / 27).

Greenland and Dr. Goss played an important role in identifying issues with the initial study proposal.

This led to the Province and Williams Treaty First Nations reaching a resolution based on manageable terms.
