Stormwater sight-seeing around Calgary

The Youth and Young Professionals Committee (YPC) of the Bow River Basin Council (BRBC), in collaboration with MAGNA Engineering Services Inc., organized a series of stormwater tours throughout 2022. Led by Anton Skorobogatov (MAGNA Engineering), the tours showcased innovative stormwater installations in the Calgary region and sparked discussion around stormwater management.

There have been five tours to date, with one more planned in December of 2022. For folks who have been unable to attend a tour, the BRBC has published an online Story Map so that the members can continue to learn about stormwater and revisit these sites on their own time!

Please visit the Story Map here:

This Story Map was created by Aidan Yakymyshyn, a member of the BRBC Young Professionals Committee
