Help Shape the Future of the Gorge

Climate change is causing sea levels to rise, including in the Gorge Waterway and Portage Inlet. Municipalities along the Gorge Waterway and Portage Inlet, including View Royal, are working together to develop a Gorge Flood Adaptation Strategy. Once complete, it will identify coastal adaptation options that minimize the risk of flooding in the Gorge, from the Johnson Street Bridge to the end of Portage Inlet.

The partner municipalities received $350,000 to develop the Gorge Flood Adaptation Strategy from the Province of B.C.’s Community Emergency Preparedness Fund, under the Disaster Risk Reduction-Climate Adaptation stream.
