Conservation Halton is a public sector organization established by the Province and governed by the Conservation Authorities Act, which is administered by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF), to develop and deliver local watershed-based resource management programs on behalf of the Province and participating municipalities. The municipalities located in the watershed appoint representatives who serve on the Board to oversee the programs of Conservation Halton. These appointed board members, who are both elected municipal councillors and citizen appointees, speak on your behalf at Conservation Halton.
