July 15, 2024- Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) is developing two new strategies that will guide the organization’s services, programs and conservation land management. CVC is seeking input from the community to inform the development of the Conservation Area Strategy and the Watershed-Based Resource Management Strategy.
Between July 15 August 30, residents in and visitors to the Credit River Watershed are encouraged to fill out CVC’s online Conservation Area Strategy and Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy Survey. Provide your input by taking the survey at cvc.ca/ConservationStrategiesSurvey.
“We’re developing new strategies to guide our work,” says Terri LeRoux, Director, Parks, Lands and Community Engagement at Credit Valley Conservation. “We value the input from our watershed community. We want to hear about your experiences using our programs and services and visiting us at our conservation areas.”
When you complete the Conservation Strategies Survey, you can enter for a chance to win one of five $50 Credit Valley Parks gift cards. Gifts cards can be put towards an annual Parks Pass, event tickets, equipment rentals and more. For full contest rules, visit cvc.ca/ContestRules.
These strategies are being developed to comply with the changes to the Conservation Authorities Act. Community input from the survey will inform both strategies, along with feedback we have received through previous public engagement activities during the development of our new Strategic Plan and Watershed Plan as well as input from partners, rightsholders, stakeholders and visitors about the conservation area system. For more information visit cvc.ca/ConservationStrategies.
