Green Glade Sr. Public School is a senior elementary school located in south Mississauga, adjacent to Rattray Marsh, a provincially significant wetland. In 2011, Green Glade and Peel District School Board (PDSB) staff worked with Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) to retrofit the school property to incorporate a [[Rain garden]] low impact development (LID) feature. The rain garden accepts runoff from a portion of the school’s roof as well as runoff from a section of the parking lot. Learn about how the site was used as one of seven [[Bioretention]] practices that were studied in an effort to develop ‘certification protocols’ for LID practices. These protocols are a process that municipalities and property managers can use to ensure that LID practices function as intended. To learn more click the button above.
