Making the World a Better Place

Welcome to Rain It In!

Rain It In is a non-profit corporation and annual competition that invites post-secondary students to collaborate in teams to solve a real world problem affecting our communities.

Teams will create innovative solutions that will mitigate the impacts of intense rainfall events, with assistance to implement their innovation in their community.

The Problem

The Impact of Climate Change

Climate change has increased the frequency and intensity of historically uncommon rainfall events. The flooding caused by these severe downpours causes issues such as:

Untreated wastewater to discharge or spill into our water bodies
Sewage back-ups into our homes and businesses
Damage to our infrastructure
The safety of the public to be put at risk
Pollutants including oil, lawn fertilizers, and animal waste to wash into our waterways
Beach closures
