The brownfield site in Mississauga will soon be home to one of the world’s most sustainable, future-ready waterfront communities

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Lakeview Community Partners Limited (LCPL) is honoured to announce that Lakeview Village, a vibrant mixed-use community being built on a 177-acre brownfield site along Mississauga’s waterfront, has received the Award of Excellence for Sustainable Development in the 2022 National Urban Design Awards.

Presented by The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC), the Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP), and the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects (CSLA), the National Urban Design Awards recognize individuals, organizations, firms, and projects that have contributed to enhancing the quality of life and the sustainability of Canadian communities through exceptional and thoughtful urban design.

In recognition of outstanding commitment to sustainability within the urban context, the jury presented Lakeview Village with the Award of Excellence in Sustainable Development, a coveted distinction provided to the project which best demonstrates the principles of sustainable urban development while exemplifying sensitive urban design.

“The proposed reduction in energy consumption centred around wastewater heat recovery and a district level energy plant is commendable,” noted the jury behind Lakeview Village’s selection. “The ’15-minute city’ is walkable and socially sustainable, and the myriad of practical, proven green technologies all come together to make this a model for future sustainable development.”

The Lakeview Village project team includes Sasaki, NAK Design Strategies, Glenn Schnarr & Associates, The Municipal Infrastructure Group, Urbantech Consulting and FVB Energy Incorporated.

“On behalf of LCPL and the incredible team behind the project, it is an honour to receive this designation as we work to transform a place that harmed the lakeshore ecosystem through industrial pollution into a sustainable, future-ready community,” said Brian Sutherland, Vice-President of Development, Argo Development Corporation and development lead for Lakeview Village. “This award represents our approach and big picture thinking with Lakeview Village, which is to bring one of the world’s most sustainable waterfront communities to the shores of Mississauga.”

Driven by LCPL’s long-term vision to build a connected, environmentally conscious and socially responsible community, Lakeview Village’s ’15-minute city’ design will meaningfully contribute to the growth of healthy communities in Canada and set the global standard for sustainable development. Through thoughtful and strategic urban planning, the design promotes sustainable modes of transit and will connect residents through a regional network of parks and trails. The developers have further incorporated a myriad of forward-thinking, cutting-edge technologies to reduce energy consumption, and will also feature a Sustainability Centre to propel the next generation of sustainable innovation locally.

“I’d like to congratulate LCPL and the entire project team for this outstanding achievement, which celebrates our dedication to creating a community that is built for the future with solutions to address climate change, energy resiliency, waste management and mobility challenges,” said Fabio Mazzocco, President at Argo Development Corporation. “Since the beginning, sustainability has been a driving force behind our approach to this project, and we look forward to executing on this mission. We believe Lakeview Village will be a community that sets a new standard for how Canada approaches sustainable development.”

More than anything else, we are excited to welcome the EL & EL team into our broader Metrie family of companies.”

“This transaction is the perfect one for the EL & EL team,” responded Cathy Wong, President & Chairwoman of the Board, EL & EL. “We have been family-owned for more than 50 years, and we want to ensure the excellence of operations and customer service, for which EL & EL is rightly proud, continues long into the future. It is time for me to pass the baton forward. We know that Metrie will take great care of that service promise and continue to grow the business and the relationships with our customers across the Southwest.”

About Metrie^®:

For nearly 100 years, Metrie has helped people transform their homes with high quality millwork products. The Metrie story began in 1926 as a small, family-owned and operated business in Vancouver, B.C. Since then, Metrie’s commitment to innovative design and fine craftsmanship has helped the company expand operations to include six solid wood and MDF manufacturing facilities, plus 24 distribution centers in the U.S. and Canada. Metrie has grown over the last nine decades to become the largest MDF moulding manufacturer in North America.

Technology Demonstrates Exceptional TSS and Total Phosphorus Removal in TAPE Field Study

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#ISO–Imbrium® Systems announced the receipt of a new ISO 14034 ETV Verification for its Jellyfish® Filter stormwater treatment technology. This latest verification is for exceptional Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Total Phosphorus treatment performance demonstrated in field testing conducted in accordance with the Washington State Department of Ecology TAPE protocol. This is the second ISO 14034 ETV verification for Jellyfish Filter field testing performance, with the earlier verification based on treatment demonstrated in field monitoring conducted in accordance with the TARP Tier II protocol.

“We’re pleased to receive this latest third-party verification for our updated Jellyfish Filter technology,” noted Imbrium Regulatory Manager Joel Garbon. “We’ve made improvements to the technology over the years since the first field test verification, and this is reflected in the treatment performance for TSS and Total Phosphorus, with median removal values of 90% and 77%, respectively.” Garbon continued, “Lab testing alone is insufficient when it comes to stormwater filtration technologies. Real-world stormwater runoff contains a complex mixture of inorganic and organic pollutants and continuously varying water chemistry. Lab testing is typically performed with clean water and clean sand-like test sediment and does not mimic the dynamic and challenging pollutant characteristics and environmental conditions that will confront the technology in field conditions. We believe it is critical to demonstrate performance in the real world, and feedback from consultants and regulators consistently shows that they have more confidence in the technology that has performed well under the rigors of actual urban installation sites.”

The Jellyfish Filter combines gravitational pretreatment (sedimentation and floatation) and high flow rate membrane filtration in a single compact structure. When maintenance is required, the membrane filter cartridges are typically rinsed and re-commissioned, unlike filter systems that use granular media that must be disposed of after each maintenance.

GLOBE Performance Solutions conducted the ISO 14034 ETV verification in collaboration with the Centre for Advancement of Water and Wastewater Technologies, which provided the technical expertise. The Verification Statement is posted on the Canadian ETV website https://etvcanada.ca/home/verify-your-technology/current-verified-technologies/
