With drought and waterflow issues on the rise, the Village of Cumberland needed to future-proof their dam, originally built in 1897, for a changing climate. Like many Canadian communities, they faced aging infrastructure and increasing climate risks with limited capacity and resources.

On our recent Citytalk Live Webinar, Cumberland's Manager of Municipal Projects explains how the CRIS matched them with an engineering firm to conduct a free climate hazard assessment, laying the groundwork for resilient infrastructure design that can withstand the next 100 years. Watch the recorded conversation to learn how CRIS experts and partners are helping places like Cumberland access expert support, climate-informed design, and funding pathways to build long-term resilience.
