Notice of Public Information Meetings

Revisions to the Conservation Authorities Act by the Province of Ontario have resulted in a new directive: Ontario Regulation 97/04 - Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses.

The Essex Region Conservation Authority will be hosting two public information meetings to present the new regulation and mapping. A separate public information session will be scheduled on Pelee Island at a later date.

Development within areas that are adjacent to or close to watercourses, valleys, wetlands, or shorelines may be affected by this regulation.
