Environmental Regulations

Why do we have Environmental Regulations?

1. The protection of lives,
2. the protection of property,
3. the prevention of social disruption,
4. the protection of the environment. 

Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority is governed by the Environmental Regulations outlined in the Conservation Authorities Act which assigns a broad set of responsibilities to all 36 conservation authorities across Ontario.
