Strategic Collaborations

Since 1994, GREENLAND® has participated (as the sole private industry partner) with strategic environmental protection and climate change related 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, that included esteemed teams affiliated with Universities, Governments and/or Indigenous Peoples of Canada, included the following:
 

  • Stormwater management facility performance and maintenance;
  • Surface and groundwater modelling and development of web-based information platforms (and after the Walkerton drinking water crisis);
  • Watershed health and stream restoration monitoring tools and the development of best management practices;
  • Remote sensing applications for river basin protection projects;
  • Assessment of emerging green roof and vegetated or “breathing wall” technologies for new buildings and retrofitted facilities;
  • Identify / implement alternative tools to eradicate invasive fish species;
  • Test and validate marketable products for removing filterable reactive phosphorous from Canadian water bodies;
  • Evaluation of mobility access systems (incl. “Smart Door” prototype);
  • Design performance verification of Low Impact Development (LID) practices and development of ‘Smart’ stormwater technologies; and,
  • Development of an A.I. watermain distribution condition assessment platform for use within the Great Lakes Basin (On-going: 2025 / 27).

Muskoka Watershed Council

The Muskoka Watershed Council’s mission is to champion watershed health in those watersheds that flow into and through the District Municipality of Muskoka. There is no conservation authority in Muskoka, instead the Council is a volunteer-based organization supported by the District of Muskoka, local consulting firms, and local Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry and Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change offices.

The Muskoka Watershed Council is currently undertaking a project to understand the potential impact of climate change in Muskoka to the year 2050. In working with our municipal partners, decision support tools such as Greenland’s new CANWET-5 model could be useful in informing our watershed management planning decisions in relation to policy development, stewardship priorities and education and communication programs.

Town of The Blue Mountains

On behalf of the Town of The Blue Mountains, we would like to thank you and your organization for your specialized technical support in a peer review capacity over the past four years… Your team not only provided timely review of all drainage related features of development applications but introduced updated municipal design criteria addressing changing climatic conditions. By unraveling the weather factors that impact snow melt potential, your team has helped the Town better understand how to be proactive in developing sustainable infrastructure.

Your team’s support assisted in keeping Town’s development projects moving forward efficiently. In addition to this, the review and introduction of updated municipal design criteria and construction standards addressing changing climatic conditions, continues to ensure the Town of The Blue Mountains fulfills its mandate for sustainable development.
