The Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA) is updating its Strategic Action Plan and is looking for feedback to help inform priority-setting for the upcoming years.
“We are actively consulting and engaging with the RRCA’s member municipalities, its government, Indigenous, and community partners, and the approximately 86,500 residents in its watershed jurisdiction,” says Lisa Van De Ligt, RRCA’s Communications and Stewardship Team Lead. “We invite everyone to have their say by completing a brief online questionnaire available until April 10, 2025, at rrca.on.ca/Strategy.”
One of Ontario’s 36 conservation authorities, the RRCA was established in 1963 to address flooding, drainage and water supply issues. Today, the watershed-based, community-led conservation authority protects people and property from natural hazards such as flooding and erosion, conserves environmentally significant land, protects municipal drinking water at the source, fosters landowner stewardship, and provides recreation and eco-tourism opportunities.
“We deliver a range of programs and services focused on strengthening the health and resilience of our watersheds, to the benefit of our natural environment and our communities,” adds Van De Ligt. “Feedback on our programs will be an essential part of our Strategic Action Plan update.”
RRCA’s Strategic Action Plan update is being conducted in partnership with an external facilitator. To learn more about the conservation authority’s programs and services, please visit rrca.on.ca or contact (613) 938-3611 or info@rrca.on.ca.
