A three-year project, this work began in 2009 and will continue into 2012. The CALP RAC project focuses on flood adaptation planning in the Fraser River delta community of Delta, BC. The Province of BC provides guidelines and tools for flood risk management; however, it is the responsibility of the local governments to define their flood hazards, integrate these with land use planning policies and implement sufficient flood protection. Uncertainty in climate science and the lack of effective engagement tools make it difficult for local governments to build public support for flood-related climate policy and action. Previous CALP research in 2007 using visualization of flood scenarios and adaptation options has proven effective in developing community awareness of and support for adaptation needs in the community, and this project seeks to build on this success. Existing research & knowledge of local vulnerability to climate change will be combined with new data to support stakeholder dialogue in this process to identify, visualize, and evaluate adaptation options to coastal and river flood risk under climate change in the Corporation of Delta, BC.

Working with City and SGOG staff and associated partners, preliminary estimates of potential renewable energy capacity have been calculated in order to begin addressing the question of the potential renewable energy capacity from the local landscape for the Prince George region. This report presents a framework that is being developed within CALP to assess renewable energy supplies at the community scale. Spatializing this information is important for linking local energy resources to land use planning processes and policies in order to develop integrated community solutions to climate change. The purpose of the case study section of this report is to investigate the potential for renewable energy supply in Prince George by developing a method to quantify and spatialize that supply at the community scale using biomass and solar thermal hot water as demonstration cases. The biomass section looks at the potential role of the Prince George Community Forest in a low‐carbon economy, while a second application consists of a mapping methodology to begin to quantify solar thermal (hot water) potential capacity in Prince George's downtown core. While energy generation potential from biomass and solar thermal are the focus of this research, the framework for assessing renewable energy supplies at a community scale should be transferable to other sources. Thus, although the work is preliminary and exploratory, it begins to set out a community renewable energy methodology that will provide communities with a better understanding of their local renewable energy supply options.", "org" : "Education" }, { "id" : "311", "contact_address" : "3300 Wishart Road, Colwood BC V9C 1R1", "latlng" : "48.42406,-123.493044", "email" : "info@solarcolwood.ca", "agency" : "City of Colwood", "type" : "project", "region" : "Vancouver Island-Coast", "link" : "http://www.solarcolwood.ca", "label" : "Solar Colwood", "contact_phone" : "250-478-5999", "description" : "Solar Colwood is working towards clean energy and energy-efficiency retrofits at a whole community level.
