2026

For over two decades, GREENLAND® has served Ontario growth-designated municipalities and Conservation Authorities as Engineer-of-Record, Roster Engineer, Model Keeper, and/or Peer Review Engineer — and was recently procured by Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) for new long-term Vendor of Record agreements. GREENLAND® is honoured to be reselected through competitive 5-year contract renewals, including expanding upon past services for the Town of Penetanguishene.

In May 2026, GREENLAND® was retained to develop a City-Wide Stormwater Master Plan for the City of Stratford — replacing outdated foundational planning documents and aligning with Ontario's latest MCEA Detailed Master Planning process. The plan will characterize existing network performance, identify deficiencies, and establish a prioritized roadmap to address current and future climate and growth challenges.

Since 2023, GREENLAND® has completed watermain and forcemain condition assessment projects across Canada, including transmission main work for Union Water Supply System Inc. and additional projects in the Ottawa Region. Earlier this year, GREENLAND® was selected to OCWA's 8-year Vendor of Record roster for environmental engineering services, including specialty watermain, sewage, and stormwater forcemain condition assessment support.

In Spring 2026, Urban Watershed Group Ltd. completed civil engineering support — on time and on budget — for the revitalization of Centennial Park and initial FIFA World Cup 2026 phases in Toronto. Further design and construction phases will continue following the July festivities. For more details, refer to the project profile or visit the City's Centennial Park Project Updates website.

Since 2022, GREENLAND® has collaborated with the Alberta Water Council (AWC) on Source Water Protection, deploying its THREATS™ platform to centralize data and risk assessment tools for Alberta's drinking water. Following platform completion in January 2026, GREENLAND® was retained as long-term Model Keeper. AWC project details and the THREATS™ video are available online, along with a full project profile here.

The Orbit is a smart city development anchored around a Metrolinx GO Station, designed to grow to a population of 150,000. For over a decade, Urban Watershed Group Ltd., in association with GREENLAND®, has provided complete site plan design engineering and construction administration services.

Blue Mountain Watershed Trust Foundation

RE: Huntingwood Trail East OLT – Expert Witness Support

On behalf of the Blue Mountain Watershed Trust Foundation (aka ‘Trust’), I would like to extend the Board of Directors’ sincere gratitude to GREENLAND® for its exemplary technical support on the recent Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) case.

GREENLAND® was retained to develop a defendable, 2-dimensional hydraulic model of the Silver Creek system with many accompanying spills, and in the vicinity of the proposed development. Your firm’s expertise and proficiency with 2-D hydraulic modelling - floodplain management projects were also instrumental in achieving an amicable solution with the developer’s engineering team lead. The solution will now protect residents and property from increased flooding impacts associated with the original subdivision plan (and for only this development phase).

This included your impeccable team to always maintain prompt communication between the OLT parties, and providing staff expertise and support for a concurrent public engagement by the Trust. Your team’s attention to detail and cross-functional collaboration approach was also key to identifying an amicable solution by all parties of the OLT, and as part of an OLT Settlement.

Mark, it was a pleasure to work with GREENLAND® on this file. Thank you also to your team.

University of Guelph

The reappearance of excessive nutrient loading in Lake Erie and the subsequent algae blooms is an extremely complex issue and is quite different in nature than the previous phosphorous loadings in the 1970s. Unlike the issue in the 1970s, there are far more sources adding nutrients to the late and these sources are diverse in nature ranging from rural to urban. In order to understand the nutrient loading, both in the temporal and spatial domains, more complex analytic and predictive tools are required in order to help policy make sound, science based, and defendable solutions.

The University of Guelph is uniquely positioned to help address the issues around Lake Erie with long standing core strengths in both the agricultural sector and the environmental field. In conjunction with our partner, Greenland Consulting Engineers, and their watershed evaluation tool (CANWET^TM), we believe that we have the engineering and technology to extrapolate CANWET^TMfrom the watershed level up to the lake basin level and provide decision-making support for the entire Lake Erie basin.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the note. Both files went very well, both approved at LPAT and we are in detail design now. The input from the Greenland team was greatly appreciated and ensured the hydraulic analysis was accurate. Conservation Halton signed off on the hazard mapping ahead of both LPAT hearings which was huge!
