Sumas Prairie Long-Term Flood Mitigation Survey

The City of Abbotsford is working with a team of consultants to develop a long-term flood mitigation plan for Sumas Prairie. Through the plan, the City is considering different options designed to enhance the City’s existing structural flood protection infrastructure and reduce flooding impacts to residents and the community.  

The four options being presented to Council have been developed for discussion with residents, businesses, governments and stakeholders. Options range in cost from an estimated $100 million to nearly $2.3 billion and offer a range of flood mitigation and protection measures for residents and businesses of Sumas Prairie.

The City is now seeking feedback on these four options and will use the input received to support the identification of a preferred flood protection option. This preferred option will be presented to senior levels of government as part of a request for funding.

Please take the survey to share what matters to you in terms of flood mitigation.  Information about engagement opportunities specifically for Sumas Prairie residents and business owners will be coming soon.
