Workshop

The Canadian Coastal Resilience Forum (CCRF) and the Coast and Ocean Risk Communication (CORC) are pleased to present our inaugural virtual Coast 2 Coast Trivia Challenge. Join us for a fun filled hour of trivia, knowledge sharing and networking on Wednesday, February 24th, 2021 at 10am PT/ 1pm ET/ 2pm AT.

Resilient-C is a free, online platform designed to help coastal communities in Canada connect with and learn from other communities that share similar hazard risks and profiles. Quickly determine from our growing database of communities those that share similar conditions and hazards to your own and review the planning and development actions they have taken to address coastal hazard risks and improve resilience.

Coastal regions in Canada are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change (PDF), such as rising sea levels, changes to the intensity of storm surges and eroding coastlines.

Over the years, governments have made efforts to identify opportunities for adapting to climate change. For example, municipalities in the Province of Nova Scotia recently completed a Municipal Climate Change Action Plan (PDF). Adaptation responses can take many forms, whether they are structural investments (e.g., building sea walls) or non-structural measures (e.g., land use policy changes that account for sea level rise).
