Through the Clean Water Act, a local committee of municipal leaders and Conservation Authority staff has been established to guide the process to develop a Source Protection Plan to protect municipal sources of drinking water.  The Source Protection Plan will determine areas that are vulnerable, identify potential threats and develop plans to deal with the threats to our drinking water sources.

In this area, the South Nation and Raisin Region Conservation Authorities have partnered together to work with the Source Protection Committee to coordinate the development of Source Protection Plans for our watersheds.  They are committed to work with our municipalities, other stakeholders and the public to develop Source Protection Plans that serve to protect our drinking water while taking into account the other needs of our communities.

The Township of South Stormont's municipal drinking water source is protected by a regional source water protection plan. The plan and supporting documentation can be found on their website.

Forests Ontario is dedicated to making Ontario’s forests greener. Their ambitious tree planting initiatives, extensive education programs and decades of community outreach have resulted in millions of trees being planted each year.
