The City’s district energy system, Lonsdale Energy, is now incorporating cooling service to deal with increased cooling needs. The City also provides cooling stations - water park features for families with young children, particularly important features in a highly urbanized municipality. Furthermore, all of the City’s natural forested areas are protected as parkland, offering cooler recreational areas and mitigating the urban heat island effect. Finally, the City also encourages the construction of green roofs in new developments through the rezoning process and has achieved a number in the City, further mitigating the urban heat island effect.

The City has developed an Integrated Stormwater Management Plan (ISMP) which combines land-use planning, environmental protection, and stormwater management to protect developed lands and natural habitat, while still allowing for long-term urban and economic development. The City’s ISMP integrates all aspects of watershed values and management, including: Engineering and Design; Ecological Health; Community and Recreation; and Economic Development. The City’s ISMP explicitly considers future climate projections and adaptation needs for private and public infrastructure.

Adaptation3.0Please describe the main actions you are taking to reduce the risk to, and vulnerability of, your city’s infrastructure, services, citizens, and businesses from climate change as identified in the Climate Hazards section.8Action description and implementation progress4Storm Surge: The City completed a study to evaluate the vulnerability of its waterfront and to review its flood construction level, set originally in the 1980s. The City’s Sewerage and Drainage Utility Bylaw was subsequently amended in 2013 to update the City’s Flood Construction Level in the City’s floodplain areas from 3.35m to 4.5m GSC. The City also requested a sea level rise flood management plan from a large waterfront landowner as a rezoning condition, and is working with this landowner on creative solutions to address sea level rise, storm surge, and flooding in this area. Further, the City is currently developing the North Shore Sea Level Rise Risk Assessment and Adaptive Management Strategy in partnership with the Districts of North and West Vancouver, the Port of Vancouver, North Shore Emergency Management and Squamish Nation to proactively respond to anticipated sea level rise across the North Shore.

The City of North Vancouver has established Development Permit Area for Streamside Protection and Enhancement to preserve watercourse environments and prevent negative impacts of development on riparian areas. The City has implemented flood and erosion protection measures for parks, trails, and other outdoor recreational spaces, including increased naturalization and vegetation management of coasts and cliffs. The City is, in some areas, using greenspace as flooding buffer zone and has incorporated structural measures such as rip rap.
