Reviews and recommendations

This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.

Recommendation:
Not Innovative
Date:
Dec 15, 2000

Comment:

Although the proposal may be worthwhile, the panel was not convinced that implementing urban habitat restoration on a large scale fits the innovative criteria. The habitat restoration technique is not particularly innovative (other than in its magnitude). Even if cost sharing is subtracted from the project it apparently exceeds the funding limit specified in the solicitation package. It may be more appropriate to submit this with the subbasin proposals for this Province.
