NPCA Advisory Committee

The NPCA’s Public Advisory Committee (PAC) was established in 2014 and consists of citizen representatives from various watershed sectors (e.g., agricultural, business, environmental groups, etc.) to provide collaborative, local sector-based perspectives on specific projects/programs and/or other conservation authority matters, as determined by the NPCA Board of Directors or its staff.  For nearly a decade, the voluntary group of PAC members have been instrumental in providing valuable input to the NPCA.  

The updated Terms of Reference for the PAC was approved by the NPCA Board of Directors at their Annual General Meeting on February 17 2023.

The NPCA is recruiting members to fill all the representative seats for 2023-2026 term, with meetings typically happening 4 times per year. If you are interested in gaining experience, providing advice on local environmental/watershed matters of community interest, and being part of a multi-stakeholder committee, please consider joining the NPCA PAC.
