The Town of Innisfil initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for drainage improvements in the Bonsecours Beach and Goodfellow Beach area in the community of Alcona in 2021. The study reviewed the existing environmental and drainage conditions and developed potential drainage improvements within the study area to improve flooding conditions.
