In the 1980s and 1990s, under the Flood Damage Reduction Program (FDRP), a number of communities, in Ontario, with a known history of flooding were mapped and identified at risk. These maps were recently replaced with a new, in-depth Flood Risk Assessment. On October 26, 2022, through recommendations from a team of Engineers with Hatch Ltd and, the Municipal Planner of Huron Shores; the Council of the Municipality of Huron Shores replaced the Land Use Schedules of the Huron Shores Official Plan with the new Inland Flood Plain Interpretation as the ‘engineered flood lines’ for the purposes of Section 4.11 of Zoning By-law #18-18.
