2021 SNC Board of Directors and Standing Committee Meeting Dates
Member municipalities within South Nation Conservation’s (SNC) watershed jurisdiction appoint representatives to the Board of Directors, which oversees SNC’s budget, programs, and environmental services.
The Conservation Authority’s four volunteer Standing Committees also help review programs and develop recommendations for the Board.
SNC’s environmental stewardship success depends upon local, community partnerships to build strong, sensible programs with broad-based support.
Area residents interested in Committee vacancies can contact SNC at 1-877-984-2948 or info@nation.on.ca. More information on SNC’s Board and Committees can be found here: www.nation.on.ca/about/board-directors-and-committees.
