Scope of Work

  • Start Date: July 12, 2018
  • Completion Date: July 17, 2019

The Rotary Peace Park Shoreline Project was considered high priority because the erosion of the backshore was encroaching on the public path, creating a public safety hazard. The scope of work included:

  • Removal of the existing structure
  • Installation of the new armourstone structure
  • Installation of a vegetated drainage swale behind the revetment
  • Site restoration, including tree and shrub plantings
