The Harper Creek subwatershed is located in southwest Peterborough. Harper Creek Wetland and Harper Park are one of Peterborough’s largest, naturally vegetated and heavily treed areas.

The Subwatershed Study will identify and characterize the water resource system, including the natural heritage features, functions, and cultural values of the Harper Creek subwatershed. The Study will ultimately recommend a land use plan and detailed management strategy to satisfy local and provincial policy.

Members of the public who are interested in participating in the open house are asked to register in advance.

Registration can be completed online on the Connect Peterborough website at www.connectptbo.ca/HarperCreek, or by phone at 705-742-7777 ext. 1504.

Registrants will be emailed a link and access code to join the meeting online. Those who cannot join online will be provided a telephone number to join by phone.

A survey for residents to provide input and background information for the study team is available on the project page at www.connectptbo.ca/HarperCreek. Residents can also subscribe for project updates on the page. A recording of the public open house will be posted following the meeting.
