As part of the development of the Central Park Subdivision and the associated eco-corridor connecting the Mount Albion Conservation Area to the Eramosa Karst Conservation Area, a wetland was proposed to be restored and enhanced at the southeast corner of Highland Road and Upper Mount Albion within the Eramosa Karst Conservation Area.
Figure 1 illustrates the plan showing the proposed wetland. The HCA entered into an External Works Agreement with Losani Homes to facilitate the construction of the wetland at Losani Homes’ cost. Construction was delayed to ensure upstream areas had been developed and revegetated and to avoid sedimentation in the proposed wetland. With this largely completed, construction on the wetland is scheduled to begin on August 5, 2025.
Work was undertaken earlier this year on-site to remove trees and vegetation to facilitate the wetland construction and to ensure the requirements of the Migratory Bird Convention Act were addressed.
As the project progresses, further updates regarding the wetland construction will be noted on this page.
