Daily Window Co is a small, independent collection of reference material for people who own or care for property along rivers and creeks in Canada. The focus is narrow on purpose: holding a bank in place, understanding the setback rules that apply near water, and reading seasonal flooding risk. Each article is written to be read once and returned to, rather than skimmed.
The material here is informational. It summarizes how erosion, riparian regulation, and freshet flooding work in a Canadian context, and it points to the publicly available government sources where the binding rules and current advisories actually live. Where exact figures vary by region — as setback distances and flood thresholds do — the text says so rather than inventing a number.
Daily Window Co does not carry out site work, sell products, or replace professional advice. Decisions about bank stabilization, construction near water, or flood response should be made with your local government and, where appropriate, a qualified engineer, biologist, or environmental professional who has seen your specific site. Regulations differ across provinces, territories, and municipalities, and they change over time.
Articles are grounded in publicly available references from Canadian federal and provincial bodies and reputable guidance organizations, with those sources linked at the foot of each page. Photographs are drawn from Wikimedia Commons under their respective licences. When an article is revised, the update date at the top changes with it.
