Glendale Public School (P.S.) is located in the City of Brampton, within the Fletchers Creek SNAP ([https://trca.ca/conservation/sustainable-neighbourhoods/ Sustainable Neighbourhood Action Plan]). The site has experienced increased urbanization and had a lack of stormwater controls, which was impacting the health of Fletchers Creek’s aquatic organisms, particularly Redside Dace, which is an endangered fish species. In addition to this problem, Glendale P.S. had existing draining issues on their property that needed to be addressed. As a result, the CVC team developed a large-scale [[Rain garden]], that would address the drainage issues on site and water quality issues in nearby Fletchers Creek , A “treatment train” approach was adopted and included three [[Swles]] (one overflow and two conveyance into the rain garden), conveyance pipes, an [[Underdrain]] system, a flow control valve for water to either infiltrate naturally into the system or flow through the underdrain to the storm sewer in heavier rain events. The project was successful in:

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.
