In addition to the improvements to Dundas Street, Halton Region and Conservation Halton will be working together to restore the banks and valley wall of Bronte Creek, north of Dundas Street. The combination of the bank slope and the river movement have resulted in significant erosion of the valley wall of Bronte Creek.
This restoration will allow for native plant species to take root and contribute to long-term bank stabilization, and reduce the potential for continued failure of the slope. The native species will provide improvements for the Silver Shiner fish habitat by supplying nutrient inputs, adding channel diversity, providing nearshore cover and protecting habitats for endangered and at-risk wildlife, including bird and bat species.
