Sustainable management of water at the Mimico creek in Toronto
Reliable stormwater management to meet the changing rainfall intensitiy and to protect natural waters from erosion

Park ‘N Fly operates several off-airport car parks across Canada, providing over 22,000 parking spaces over 73 hectares of land. Continuing their expansion near Toronto’s Pearson International Airport (YYZ), a 5+ hectare former hotel site was redeveloped into a parking lot and was required to meet the City of Toronto requirements for stormwater management.

These guidelines help to reduce the strain on local storm sewers and protect the nearby Mimico Creek from erosion by slowing peak flows. 2,665m3 of total net storage was required for this large site.
