Public workshops to be held on the Pelee Coastal Resilience Plan

If you live along the Lake Erie shoreline between Port Alma and Amherstburg, you are invited to a public workshop.

The Pelee Coastal Resilience Committee will hold sessions Monday and Tuesday.

The committee was created a year ago with funding from Environment Canada. An application was made to Natural Resources Canada’s Climate Resilience Coastal Communities Program, to create a coastal resilience action plan for the Pelee Coast.

The project is also being funded by Essex County, local municipalities, and conservation authorities.

The proposed action plan will include the Pelee West and Pelee East littoral cells, which stretch from Amherstburg at the mouth of the Detroit River to the Port Alma area of Chatham-Kent.

Registration is available by clicking on the following links.

The first public sessions will be held in Wheatley on Monday, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., and from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., at The Village Resource Centre, 108 Talbot Road.

The second set of sessions will be in Kingsville on Tuesday, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., and from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., at the Grovedale Arts and Cultural Centre, 103 Park Street.

Complete information on the Pelee Coastal plan can be found on the project's official website.
