Welcome to the NPCA's Get Involved portal!

The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority, in partnership with the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, are addressing concerns relating to water quality and water quantity issues resulting from erosion and aggradation along Four Mile Creek south of Line 9.

The first step in addressing these issues is assessing the watercourse to identify and quantify problematic areas.

An important part of this process is ensuring that the local community is informed and given the opportunity to share their feedback related to the project.

GHD Limited has been contracted to conduct such an assessment and we ask your cooperation in allowing, if necessary, the consulting team to access your property so they can reach the watercourse to conduct their business. The timing of this request will be between May 23 to the end of July 2022.

ABOUT THIS PAGE:

This portal will house important documents that all are welcome to review, tools for providing feedback, and video clip of the recent information session.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED:

1. Review the Four Mile Creek Presentation found under Important Links and Documents to learn about the project.
2. Watch the video clip of the Information Session held on May 18.
3. Share your thoughts, comments or concerns using the Q&A' tool available below.

We encourage you to continue checking back for updates on this important project.

    How much does development and the destruction of natural habitat affect the river?

    Ken asked over 2 years ago

    Hi Ken, thanks so much for your question! We have a saying around the NPCA office that ‘what we do on the land is reflected in the water’. Development doesn’t necessarily always impact watercourses negatively; each case is unique in terms of cumulative impacts and policies are much better these days to safeguard water resources. Same with respect to natural habitat.  

    That said the Niagara Watershed remains largely degraded, experiencing poor water quality and habitat fragmentation. Considering cumulative impacts and strategically managing the landscape towards an adequate reserve system through land use planning informed by evidence-based natural resources management will help conserve water resources and habitat. Restoring lands back to nature and strategically placed natural cover will help enhance what’s left as well.
