Green Communities Canada also acknowledges the assistance of RiverSides who partnered in the delivery of the Urban Stormwater Pilot which formed the basis for development of the RAIN program.

RAIN is a joint program of Green Communities Canada and its members. RAIN motivates action to reduce non-point source pollution entering Ontario's lakes and rivers via storm sewers. Local Green Community organizations build demonstration projects, organize events, and host workshops on solutions like rain barrels, permeable paving, dog waste composters, and rain gardens. They also organize tours of model stormwater projects, staff booths at community events and mobilize individuals and neighbourhoods to take immediate action to divert thousands of litres of polluted stormwater from entering the system. Diverted rain is then filtered naturally by the soil and recharges our precious groundwater aquifers.
