Glenmore Reservoir Erosion Hotspots

About the project

This project falls within the larger Bank Protection and Stream Health Restoration program. In 2021-2022, The City completed a review of the Glenmore Reservoir to identify locations where erosion is posing a risk to existing infrastructure. The project aims to mitigate erosion risks to infrastructure while enhancing the surrounding public spaces.

This project is well underway and much of the work was completed in 2025. Work in 2026 will focus on the south shoreline of the reservoir, north of the community of Bayview. 

Why are we doing this work?

  • To address and correct erosion at the Glenmore Reservoir where existing infrastructure is at risk. This project is essential to protect vital infrastructure from erosion to enhance our public spaces.
  • To develop a design that will protect weathered areas from future erosion while enhancing public spaces. This is also a placemaking project that will create enhanced seating for visitors and provide additional spaces for people to gather.
  • To build a resilient and enhanced Glenmore Reservoir area that benefits the entire community.
  • This project is part of our larger commitment to protecting and improving our natural and built environments.
