Six Nations Council
On behalf of the Environment Office of the Six Nations of the Grand River, we would like to thank Greenland International Consulting Limited for the work completed to prepare the Master Drainage and Flood Remediation Plan (MDFRP) for the McKenzie Creek watershed. This plan has now enabled our office to identify the flood prone residences throughout the watershed with the flood plain mapping that has been prepared as part of this assignement. We appreciate the role that Greenland has played in assisting our office in directing Public Works with prioritizing the remedial projects to be completed in the flood prone areas.
We also appreciate Greenland's effort in assisting the Six Nations of the Grand River with the preparation of funding applications to secure the resources to complete these remedial works. We are convinced that this MDFRP can be used as a template for completing similar drainage and flood remediation works both locally and in other First Nations lands.
We look forward to working with your company again in the near future on the remaining watersheds that need this important work done.
Thank you for your ongoing assistance.

The reappearance of excessive nutrient loading in Lake Erie and the subsequent algae blooms is an extremely complex issue and is quite different in nature than the previous phosphorous loadings in the 1970s. Unlike the issue in the 1970s, there are far more sources adding nutrients to the late and these sources are diverse in nature ranging from rural to urban. In order to understand the nutrient loading, both in the temporal and spatial domains, more complex analytic and predictive tools are required in order to help policy make sound, science based, and defendable solutions.
The University of Guelph is uniquely positioned to help address the issues around Lake Erie with long standing core strengths in both the agricultural sector and the environmental field. In conjunction with our partner, Greenland Consulting Engineers, and their watershed evaluation tool (CANWETTM), we believe that we have the engineering and technology to extrapolate CANWETTM from the watershed level up to the lake basin level and provide decision-making support for the entire Lake Erie basin.

Town of Collingwood
As Public Works Chair for the Town of Collingwood, I would like to thank Greenland for providing exemplary services for the Raglan Street Local Improvement Project, including preliminary & detailed designs; coordination of all consultants; contract administration; and, construction inspection.
Greenland always maintained open lines of communication between the Town, Contractors, affected business and residents, and promptly responded to all questions and issues raised by the public. For the past decade, your firm has worked for the Town and strived for thoroughness and professionalism in order to address all of the Town’s project needs. The Raglan Street project was no exception so your team should feel proud with its successful outcome.
It has been a pleasure for the Town of Collingwood to do business with your team and the Town looks forward to using your professional engineering services again in the future. On a personal note, I would be pleased to serve as a professional reference when your firm bids on other municipal projects.
