Partnerships

We are proud of the great work in conservation and nature protection happening locally. We support and benefit from many partnerships in the community.

Otonabee Region Conservation Authority

We work closely with the Conservation Authority to ensure the protection of our source water, and the rehabilitation of shorelines and watersheds.  Together we offer educational programs like the Roberta Bondar Challenge, the Seasonal Conservation Exhibit, public events and tours of the creek restoration projects on site.
