SustainableBiz | Ironwood Development Leads to Cleaner, Naturalized Oshawa Creek

OSHAWA - An Oshawa development has had a significant positive impact on the environment before construction even begins on the project itself.

The due diligence for the site involved temporarily diverting Oshawa Creek and removing concrete fragments, asphalt, large segments of interlocking steel sheet piles, and aluminum culverts from the creek and the surrounding land this past summer.

“We had to do it in a very careful and limited window because of salmon spawning and some other sensitivities around the diversion of the creek,” Podium vice-president Christian Huggett told Sustainable Biz.
