About the Board of Directors
Credit Valley Conservation is governed by a 12-member Board of Directors who are appointed by CVC’s municipal partners within the Credit River Watershed.
Representation on the board is based on population of the municipality (upper tier) and by member municipality agreement. Board members are appointed for a four-year term, following each municipal election. Board members authorize CVC’s programs and policies, which staff is responsible for implementing.
In accordance with c. 14(2.2)(b) of the Conservation Authorities Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. C.27, Credit Valley Conservation has outlined the member municipality agreement for the CVC Board of Directors composition. Read the agreement.
Meeting Location
Meetings are held at CVC’s Administration Office, located at 1255 Old Derry Road, Mississauga, ON L5N 6R4, or held virtually in accordance with the administrative by-law.
