Through 62 years of conservation, we have worked in partnership with the Province of Ontario, Government of Canada, our eight member municipalities, and the community to increase natural areas coverage, improve water quality across the watershed, protect people and property from flooding and erosion, and provide education and recreation opportunities. LPRCA’s watershed covers 2,782 square kilometres, taking in most of Norfolk County and sections of Brant, Elgin, Haldimand and Oxford Counties and is home to more than 102,000 people. Together with our community partners, municipalities, the business community, schools, non-profit organizations and residents, LPRCA will continue to contribute to a balanced healthy environment.

  • Forest Birds at Risk in the Norfolk Sand Plain Region in Southwestern Ontario
    Forest Birds at Risk in the Norfolk Sand Plain region in southwestern Ontario Final Report on the 2011/ 2012 Field Program Jody Allair, Audrey Heagy, Sarah Dobney, Emily Bird, Myles Falconer, David Bell Bird Studies Canada This report contains a summary of the results of the two-year Forest Birds at Risk in the Norfolk Sand Plain (FBAR –NSP) project. It contains sensitive information on species at risk locations and is not for general distribution. For further information contact Jody Allair, at [email protected], or Audrey Heagy, at [email protected]. Project Funding In 2010-11, Bird Studies Canada (BSC) applied to Environment Canada’s Habitat Stewardship Program (HSP) and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources’ Species at Risk Stewardship Fund (SARSF) for support for a two-year project targeting five at-risk bird species breeding in forest habitats in the Norfolk Sand Plain region in southwestern Ontario. On 3 June 2011, BSC was notified that project funding was being provided by the HSP program over a two-year period. On 14 June 2011, BSC was notified that funding provided by SARSF was not available for this project other than for Whip-poor-will survey work in this region. In 2012, BSC also applied for and received funding to hire three students through the NSERC Industrial Undergraduate Student Research Award for a 16-week Species at Risk Intern positions. Survey Effort In 2011, BSC biologists conducted breeding season field surveys at 37 sites within the eastern Norfolk Sand Plain region (all in Norfolk County, Table 1). Thirty-two of these sites and 35 new sites were visited in 2012, giving a total of 67 sites visited in 2012 (in Norfolk and Elgin Counties, Table 2), and 72 sites visited over the two-year period.

  • Long Point Region, Catfish Creek and Kettle Creek Tier 2 Water Quantity Stress Assessment
    Long Point Region, Catfish Creek and Kettle Creek Tier 2 Water Quantity Stress Assessment Final Report May 2009 Prepared by LONG POINT REGION, CATFISH CREEK AND KETTLE CREEK TIER 2 WATER QUANTITY STRESS ASSESSMENT Executive Summary The Clean Water Act (2006) was introduced by the Province of Ontario in its First Reading on December 5, 2005 and it received Royal Assent on October 19, 2006. On July 3, 2007, the Act and its five regulations came into effect. The intent of this Legislation is to ensure communities are able to protect their municipal drinking water supplies through the development of collaborative, locally driven, science- based Source Water Protection plans. Communities are in the process of identifying potential water quality and quantity risks to local sources and will take action to reduce or eliminate these risks. Municipalities, Conservation Authorities, property owners, farmers, industry, community groups, and the public are working together to meet these common goals. For the purposes of Source Water Protection, the Grand River, Long Point Region, Catfish Creek and Kettle Creek Conservation Authorities have formed the Lake Erie Source Protection Region. The area included within the Long Point Region, Catfish Creek and Kettle Creek Conservation Authorities is approximately 3,900 km 2, and is home to approximately 165,000 people. A number of water resource studies are currently being completed within the Lake Erie Source Protection Region in support of the Clean Water Act. These include vulnerable area delineation, threats identification/classification, and subwatershed-based water budgets. As part of the water budget assessment process, the Clean Water Act (2006) requires the completion of a Water Quantity Stress Assessment to determine potential subwatershed stress.
