This report by TRCA highlights the multiple LID installations located at Edwards Gardens, a botanical garden located at 777 Lawrence Avenue East in Toronto, Ontario and owned by the city. The retrofit of the Edwards Gardens parking lot introduces several new technologies to add to the existing Low Impact Development (LID) practices onsite – an extensive [[Green roof]] and a [[Rainwater harvesting]] system, along with [[Bioretention]], [[Permeable pavement]], [[Infiltration trenches]], [[Exfiltration trenches]], and [[Swales]]. The stormwater management benefits of the LID practices implemented onsite help to improve the quality and reduce the volume of runoff discharging to Wilket Creek, nearby.

Creekside Crossing is a communal centre in a heavily urbanized area of Mississauga. Due to extensive development in the area, several Low Impact Development (LID) practices were constructed on site. All combined, the LIDs were able to fulfill the requirement of the TTRCA's water balance objective of retaining runoff from a 10 mm rain event onsite (usually set at 5 mm, but due to the rehabilitation work was completed in a floodplain this objective was increased twofold. The LIDs, which include [[Bioretention]] areas, [[Soakaways]]/Infiltration galleries, [[Vegetated filter strips]] and [[Permeable pavement]], achieve the water balance objective through attenuation/infiltration and evapotranspiration.
