Watershed-based Resource Management Strategy

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.

This process began in early September and NPCA sought to engage its watershed community through a variety of mediums including an online survey and a Public Information Centre on September 24.

Building on the feedback received to date, NPCA completed a 'Draft Watershed Strategy' which includes:

• NPCA's vision for the continued protection of natural systems and mitigation of natural hazards in the communities it serves.
• Guiding principles and objectives from NPCA's Strategic Plan, which informs the design of programs and services;
• Summary of information NPCA relies on to directly inform and support program and service delivery; and
• Issues and risks which may limit effective delivery of programs and services, and actions to address these.

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