Engaging Communities for Flood Resilience in Southern Ontario

This workshop focuses on how participatory approaches and public engagement can strengthen flood risk communication and decision-making in Southern Ontario. It will examine how municipalities and partner organizations currently share flood data with residents, and what design and communication strategies can improve public understanding of risk. The workshop will also explore partnerships with community-based organizations, Indigenous communities, and researchers to co-produce flood information while addressing equity, privacy, and information-rights considerations. 
 
This is an interactive session, and we are looking for your input to help identify common challenges and shape best practices for flood communication.
