Board & Governance

Otonabee Conservation is accountable to the residents of the watershed through our Board of Directors. The members of the Board are appointed by the elected Council of each member municipality. This accountability, combined with local decision making, is a key strength that we draw on as we work with our partners to address local issues and priorities.

Board of Directors

The Otonabee Conservation Board of Directors is comprised of 11 members representing the 8 municipalities located either entirely, or partly, within the Otonabee Region watershed.
