Free public event helps homeowners prevent damage from excess storm runoff
Does water get into your basement every time it rains? If it does, you know what kinds of problems it can cause. If it doesn’t, you’ll want to make sure it never happens.

Expert speakers will cover topics including:

The Keep Your Basement Dry open forum will take place on Monday, Oct. 24 at 7 p.m., at 255 Kingscourt Ave (at the Youth Unlimited building). The event is free of charge and open to all.
For more information, please contact Alec Ross at Red Squirrel Conservation Services at 613-547-8122 or executivedirector@redsquirrelconservation.ca.
Kingscourt Groundbreakers is a partnership between Red Squirrel Conservation Services, the Kingscourt Community Association and the City of Kingston. The project is supported by Green Communities Canada and the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
