It is heartwarming to know now that optimism about the future of the “dirty” Don River in 1970 was not in vain. For over a decade now, work has been done to reroute the Don, clean polluted soil, create new parks and flood-proof the area to unlock a swath of land, including the old Unilever plant site, for redevelopment.

The drive towards automation and advancement in low-cost sensor technology has many organizations overwhelmed with data and not knowing where to start. More data has been collected in the last several years than in all of previous human history. Knowing where to start and how to proceed are the hardest parts of data management.

The Moncton, N.B. water treatment facility’s fire protection system upgrade needed a solution that would keep the plant operational in the event of an emergency. Victaulic’s Vortex System™ discharges a dual agent of water and nitrogen to extinguish fires. The technology’s patented hybrid emitter creates sub 10-micron water droplets that remain suspended in the air to provide cooling. With nearly zero wetting, sensitive equipment remains safe and can continue to operate while the system puts out the fire.

The Bailie Booster Pumping Station and Reservoir supply water to the Burlington, Ontario area. As part of its asset management program, Halton Region retained Associated Engineering to upgrade and rehabilitate the pump station and reservoir.

Ivey International Inc. has developed a new formulation from its Ivey-sol® surfactant enhanced remediation technology to address PFAS contamination in groundwater, soil, and bedrock regimes. Tests of the PFAS-SOL® formulation, which is non-toxic, biodegradable, and pH neutral, have shown significant PFAS mass removal rates.

Kangiqsualujjuaq’s current water source is an elevated water supply lake north of the community, referred to as Imirtaviup Tasinga Lake.

In the early 2010s, FMFN undertook a series of community engagement and planning exercises to help them document and articulate their membership’s vision for the future.
