Aug 12 Things are very busy around here! The ALIDP Board of Directors met in Edmonton this week to do some strategizing and check in on progress at Larch Park. The ALIDP was invited by the developer of this subdivision, Melcor, to investigate opportunities in LID research and piloting. U of A faculty and students are already working hard on a number of ecological research initiatives and we hope to have some going soon on stormwater.
Website updating has not been as regular as planned due to efforts being directed towards the launch of our new improved site. We appreciate your patience in this transitional period.
