Your city at work—Richmond’s dike and flood protection

The City of Richmond recognizes that even with global climate change mitigation efforts, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, there are predictions of environmental changes that will occur even if global emissions are dramatically reduced. This includes 1 metre of sea level rise and increased rainfall for all coastal communities. A key action identified in the city’s Flood Protection Management Strategy involves continuing to upgrade the city’s perimeter dike in anticipation of climate change induced sea level rise. To ensure Richmond remains safe, the city is continuously upgrading flood protection measures. For more information letstalkrichmond.ca



Your city at work—Minoru Arena

Project June 2022—Sept. 2023

The Minoru Arena was originally opened with a single ice surface in 1965 under the name of Richmond Arena. In 1984, a second ice sheet and office space was added to the facility. Renewal of ageing mechanical systems are required to maintain the safe operations of the Minoru Arenas. Included within this project are lobby entrance upgrades, replacements of the heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system components, ammonia detection system and alarm system.
