Alberta Tourist Information Centre, Field, BC
The design for this site involved the integration of a borrow pit to generate fill materials to raise the development area above the floodplain. The development included a substantial parking area, a stormwater management pond/wetland, a community park, and protection of an existing riparian area. Due to achieving a balance of shallow groundwater flows and solar warming, the resulting pond has come to serve the Field community as the only local swimming opportunity.
