Ottawa is spending $100,000 to update the existing flood-plan mapping on Mosquito Creek within Thunder Bay.
The city will spend an equal amount on the one-year project.
The feds have also contributed $57,500 for a flood access and egress study on the Mcintyre and Neebing rivers and McVicar and Pennock creeks.
