The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) is developing a Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy (Watershed Strategy) to guide the delivery and enhancement of the programs and services that protect people and property from natural hazards and conserve natural resources in the Niagara Peninsula watershed.

The Watershed Strategy will integrate scientific research and data, public input, and best practices to manage and conserve the watershed in the face of environmental challenges.

As part of this strategy, NPCA will:

  • Integrate guiding principles and objectives from its Strategic Plan, which inform the design of programs and services;
  • Include a summary of information NPCA relies on to directly inform and support program and service delivery; and
  • Identify any issues and risks which may limit effective delivery of programs and services, including actions to address such risks.

Guided by the 2021-2031 Strategic Plan, our team of experts collaborated on a discussion paper that outlines our vision for the continued protection of natural systems and mitigation of natural hazards in the communities we serve, as well as the process for drafting the strategy.

Your participation is vital to the success of NPCA’s Watershed Strategy! Together we can identify key watershed issues and make informed decisions to enhance the natural environment, ecosystem resilience, and sustainability.

The Watershed Strategy is a requirement of Ontario Regulation 686/21 and is to be completed by December 31, 2024.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED & PARTICIPATE:

  1. Review additional documents, FAQs, and resources on this page.

  • Watershed Strategy Survey

    The Watershed Strategy will guide the delivery and enhancement of the programs and services that protect people and property from natural hazards and conserve natural resources in the Niagara Peninsula watershed.

    About the survey

    To assist us with developing the Watershed Strategy, we are seeking input on how the community benefits from NPCA’s programs and services, and what issues or risks they perceive may affect their effectiveness.

    This process provides a mechanism to update NPCA’s programs and services inventory and identify where opportunities exist for improving and/or maintaining watershed health.

    No personal information (i.e., name, age, or address) will be collected unless you request to be contacted by NPCA staff. Any personal details you do share will not be linked to your answers.

    The survey will be open until November 1, 2024. It should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Registration is not required to participate; however, you may choose to do so to save your progress and come back to the survey at a later date.

    Contact us at tgaade@npca.ca for more information or to request a paper copy of the survey.
