On Wednesday this week, the City of Vancouver went to council with their sea level rise strategy. It has been an exciting week, as this is a project that we have been working on since day 1 of Ebbwater’s existence in May 2013, and we are thrilled to see it out in the world. There has been a fair amount of media on this project; we’ve even had the pleasure of doing some interviews ourselves. A few days since the public release of the report we thought it would be helpful to do a media round-up. Find out what the press is saying by reading on:
