Committees
Four Committees review programs in detail and develop recommendations to the Board. They include representatives from the general public, community groups, agriculture, business, industry, municipalities, government and the Board of Directors. SNC environmental stewardship success depends upon our partnerships to build strong, sensible programs with broad based support.
Communications
Responsible for all internal and external communications, the 10-member Communications Committee meets monthly to discuss promotion, press releases, special events, and fundraising.
Forestry
The forestry committee provides guidance to SNC staff in the delivery of its forestry program. Members include representatives from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Forestry Consultants, farmers, rural landowners, Board Members, Contractors, MNR, Snowmobile Associations, UCPR, and UCSDO
Fisheries
The Fisheries Committee has a wide membership with both formal training and years of experience on which to draw. Biologists, life-long fishermen, professional anglers, students, and a wildlife technician meet four times a year to discuss the state of the South Nation fishery.
Clean Water
The Clean Water Committee’s main function is to administer water quality programs. This includes the Clean Water Program, a grant program that helps landowners protect surface and ground water quality. The fifteen year old program has dispensed $1.9 million in grants, helping to complete more than 589 projects across the watershed.
