Bowness Flood Mitigation Working Group

The Bowness Flood Mitigation Working Group was formed in May of 2019 to support and strengthen community engagement during the feasibility phase for a potential flood barrier along the south bank of the Bow River. The working group meets monthly and is comprised of members from the Bowness Community Association (BCA), the Bowness Responsible Flood Mitigation Society (BRFM), the Mainstreet Bowness Business Improvement Area (BIA) and community members residing in the various flood zones. The purpose of these meetings is to:

• Enhance communication and engagement by providing advice and input on communication and engagement plans
• Enhance the research by providing input and advice to identify gaps in the studies specific to local knowledge
• Oversee the process to ensure the interests of the community of Bowness are considered in determining the best flood mitigation solutions for the community
• Build mutual trust and understanding among all stakeholders
