Tahsis - Flood Protection Improvements Project: Phase 1 and 2

completed

The project seeks to upgrade three existing flood mitigation works, the North Maquinna Drive Floodwall, Cook Street Dike and Boston Street Internal Drainage System within the Village of Tahsis. The proposed project area has experienced repeated flooding over the last century, with significant flooding events recorded in 1975, 1989, 1990 and 2010. Recent hydrotechnical assessments have revealed that this section of the Village is highly susceptible to flooding and shows an immediate need for further protection. Once implemented, these proposed upgrades will protect residents of Tahsis and existing assets from both 1:20 and 1:200 year flooding events.
