Bear Street Redevelopment Wins Project of the Year at Water’s Next Award

The Bear Street Redevelopment Project in Banff, Alberta has captured two honours at the annual Water’s Next awards, held June 2^nd in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Organized by Water Canada magazine, the annual awards recognize the best people, projects, and technologies in the national water landscape. There are 14 awards given out each year, with six categories for individual leaders, six for projects and technologies, and overall awards for both. The awards are judged by a third-party panel of established industry professionals from across the country.

The Bear Street project was recognized first with the award in the Stormwater category, recognized for the effectiveness in delivering an underground stormwater solution that would keep the street friendly to pedestrian traffic even during, and just after, weather events. The project then received the award for Project of the Year, which is given to the best among the finalists in the six projects and technology categories.

WSP was involved in the design, construction administration, and project management elements of the Bear Street Redevelopment Project. Working alongside colleagues from The TULA Project and Bremner Engineering and Construction, the newly-developed street has become a shared-street destination in the heart of downtown Banff.
