The lower section of Whiskey Creek, from The Boulevard to Lake Simcoe, has limited stormwater flow conveyance capacity and is prone to flooding. This project improves Whiskey Creek's conveyance capacity from The Boulevard to Brennan Avenue to reduce frequency of flooding.
An environmental assessment study, completed in 2021, assessed solutions to mitigate flooding between The Boulevard and Kempenfelt Bay.
This project includes design and construction of the two culverts and watercourse improvements between the culverts to reduce the probability and consequence of flooding for both small frequent and large events.
There will be minimal impacts to Minet's Point Park & Beach during construction.

Utility relocation work is progressing at Whiskey Creek. Enbridge is scheduled to mobilize in late July/early August to complete gas main relocations. Once Enbridge’s work is complete, Alectra will mobilize to undertake the required hydro pole relocations. These relocations are needed to facilitate the upcoming construction work at Whiskey Creek.
