The St. Clair Region Conservation Authority (SCRCA) is seeking public comment on their draft Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy, required under new regulations prescribed under the Conservation Authorities Act in early 2022.
The strategy sets out the guiding principles, objectives, and resources of the SCRCA, its categories of programs and services, and the knowledge base for the work the SCRCA conducts on a day-to-day basis.
The draft strategy was approved for public and Indigenous engagement and consultation by the Board of Directors in October 2024.
The document will assist the SCRCA with enhancing the delivery of its Mandatory Programs and Services and identify any issues and risks that may impact the effective delivery of its non-mandatory programs and services.
It also identifies desirable future programs, services, and actions that will help the SCRCA meet its current objectives and long-term goals.
