GREENLAND® was honoured to present at the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative (GLSLCI) “Ontario Water Leaders Summit” in Oakville, Ontario: “Water-Tech Solutions: Cutting Costs, Enhancing Resilience, Driving Growth.”
The Summit brought together municipal leaders, Canadian MPs, and Indigenous representatives to address critical issues impacting the health, safety, and resilience of communities across the Great Lakes Basin. We were especially inspired by the opening from the host First Nation, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and the powerful reminder from Knowledge Keeper/Educator/Elder Valarie King that “Water is Life.”
GREENLAND® joined a panel of technology partners working with GLSLCI members in various capacities. Our firm has been engaged by many of the Initiative’s 400+ members as engineer-of-record, peer reviewer, and private-sector collaborator on projects supported by start-up and leveraged funding.
Our presentation, “Intelligent-Driven Source Water Protection Solutions with Government, Public & Indigenous Stakeholders,” shared lessons from our SaaS engineering journey since the Walkerton drinking water crisis and offered a preview of new AI-enabled capabilities for GLSLCI municipalities.
In response to the key question—how our solutions reduce municipal costs while delivering measurable value—we highlighted GREENLAND®’s intelligent toolbox, which integrates vast North American land, air, and water datasets into a robust analytics platform. This approach cuts data processing times from weeks or months to hours or days, enabling:
- More targeted infrastructure planning and design investments
- Accelerated due diligence for coastal ecosystem and flood resilience projects
- Real-time riverine flood forecasting and mapping
- Faster, better-supported funding grant applications for GLSLCI members
We look forward to continuing our collaboration with GLSLCI and its member communities to protect source water and strengthen climate resilience across the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence region.
