Conservation Lands Strategy (posted November 1, 2024)
As part of the provinces initiatives to ensure that CA’s maintain transparency on the delivery of programs and services the Conservation Authorities were required to create several documents which included the Conservation Lands Strategy.
The objective of the Conservation Lands Strategy is to act as a living document that guides the actions of the LTVCA to move forward with conserving and protecting conservation lands, maintaining and updating existing infrastructure and properties, provide opportunities for outdoor recreation, education and conservation. The LTVCA took the Preliminary Draft Conservation Lands Strategy to our Board of Directors on October 17th, 2024, with the attached document representing the latest version of the strategy. Community Engagement is a valued stage of developing the strategy, please review the document and provide your comments.
Thank you for participating in this process, as your input is valued and appreciated.

Watershed Based Resource Management Strategy (posted July 17, 2024)
As part of the provinces initiative to make CA’s more transparent on the delivery of our programs and services, CA’s were required to generate several documents (five in total) to be posted to our website prior to the end of 2024. One of these was a Watershed Based Resource Management Strategy (WBRMS).
The goal of the Watershed Based Resource Management Strategy is to act as a road map for the LTVCA to move forward with maintaining existing, and design and deliver new: cost-effective programs and services that protect people and property from natural hazards and climate change impacts; protect municipal drinking water sources; conserve and restore natural resources; and provide opportunities for outdoor recreation and education opportunities across the watershed.
The LTVCA took a draft document to our Board of Directors on June 20th, 2024, with the attached document updated representing the latest version of the strategy. In the initial stages of this project the community was asked to provide input. This input has formed part of the development of this document. But it is now time for a draft preliminary document to be brought forward to community members for final input into our future path forward. Thank-you in advance for your review of this document.
