Introductory Project Information Meeting

Join us from 2pm-4pm Oct 30 for an information meeting with the project team!

The RDEK’s Fairmont Hot Springs Hazard Guidance Project is aimed at:

  • Developing and considering policies that can further guide development and land use in the identified hazard areas within Fairmont Hot Springs; and,
  • Increasing community awareness and understanding of the debris flow and debris flood hazard and risks associated with Cold Spring Creek and Fairmont Creek.

The project is being led by consultants from BGC Engineering and Pinna Sustainability with support from the RDEK Planning team.

To help introduce the project and gather input from the community, we will be hosting an introductory information meeting on October 30, 2024 from 2:00pm-4:00pm.

The meeting will be held via Zoom and here is what you can expect leading up to, during and following the session:

  • The meeting will include an overview of the project, an introduction to the project team, and presentations/discussion around four “topic areas”: Hazard, History, Risk, Policy.
  • The project team from BGC and Pinna will have questions that they will be asking during the engagement session. These questions will be shared in advance via this project page and our RDEK Fairmont email group.
  • Following the session, a survey form will be posted on this project page with these same questions to ensure there is ample opportunity following the session for people to share their thoughts and input.
  • During the meeting, the chat feature will be enabled so questions will be able to be asked via chat during the meeting and answered by the project team.
  • For anyone unable to attend the Zoom session, it will be recorded and posted on the project page the week following the meeting and again, there will be a comment form available to allow for the opportunity to share ideas and feedback on the project and questions posed during the session.
