(Due in 2012)Meet the members View Meeting Dates, Agendas and Minutes All three of these three documents will involve a very open public consultation process that will include announcements in local newspapers, public information sessions, and updates to this website. The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (with representation from the Black River watershed), Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority and Severn Sound Environmental Association, all acting as as Source Protection Authorities, will be responsible for reviewing these documents and recommending them to the Ministry of Environment for approval.
