NPCA Advisory Committee

The NPCA’s Public Advisory Committee (PAC), established in 2014, is a dedicated group of citizen representatives from diverse watershed sectors. These passionate volunteers bring collaborative, sector-based perspectives to guide specific projects, programs, and other conservation matters as determined by the NPCA Board of Directors or staff. For nearly a decade, PAC members have played an invaluable role in shaping the NPCA's work, contributing meaningful input to support conservation across the watershed.

Meeting approximately four times per year, the PAC continues to serve as a vital platform for community voices. With its updated Terms of Reference approved in 2023, the committee is poised to make an even greater impact in the years ahead.

What's in it for you? If you’re eager to gain experience, share your expertise, and contribute to the future of our watershed through a multi-stakeholder approach, we invite you to join us! Your voice can help shape a more sustainable and resilient Niagara Peninsula watershed.
