Summary

Lack of Stormwater Management in Collingwood Park

Highland Creek Exiting Collingwood Park [8]

Urbanization and lack of proper stormwater management in Collingwood Park has caused an increase of phosphorus, E. coli bacteria and flooding of Highland Creek [1]. This directly reduces the water quality of the Highland Creek watershed which is the main watershed in Scarborough [2].

Stakeholders

Creating a stormwater management system in Collingwood Park has the following four stakeholders:

1. City of Toronto Parks, Forestry & Recreation Department who are responsible for maintaining the publicly-owned Collingwood Park [3]
2. Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) who are currently working on similar restoration projects with their Highland Creek Watershed Greening Strategy [4]
3. Local Residents and Local Businesses living around Collingwood Park who are at risk of flooding including residents on Collingwood Rd, York Condominium Corporation and Longford International
4. 430,000 Residents living in Highland Creek Watershed of which ****76% are visible minorities and 51% live in apartments [4].
