Engineer McCubbin will start surveys from Etonvale this season with a team from the Public Works department. The project aims to reduce flooding in Grey and Dufferin via the Nottawasaga drainage scheme, tracing river branches to sources near those counties. The history of the river and War of 1812 mentions a route from Kingston to Fort Michilimackinac and Fort Nottawasaga along the old Nine Mile Portage.
