Watershed Advisory Committee

South Nation Conservation (SNC) has established a Watershed Advisory Committee to replace the previous Standing Committees that reported to SNC’s Board of Directors (Clean Water, Forestry, Fish and Wildlife, and Communications).

The new Committee is comprised of 26 members to capture the scope of stakeholders represented in previous advisory committees to support the development and implementation of SNC’s environment programs
and services.

The Watershed Advisory Committee will meet four times per year, once each quarter, and will report to SNC’s Board of Directors which is comprised of local elected officials appointed by SNC’s 16 member municipalities.

Committee recruitment began in December 2023 and interested and qualified residents were encouraged to apply by completing an application form and submitting their resume by January 26^th, 2024.

SNC sought out dedicated community members with experience or interest in the environmental sector who will be willing to volunteer their time and expertise to support their local environment.

The new members of the committee were confirmed at SNC's AGM on March 21, 2024.
