MVCA Welcomes New Board Of Directors

The new board of directors for the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority is slightly different.

The Reeve of Howick Township, Art Versteeg, is the new chair of the board.  He takes over from Deb Shewfelt, who moves to second vice chair.

Jim Campbell from North Huron is the first vice chair for 2015.

At the MVCA's annual meeting last night, Art Versteeg outlined the conservation authority's focus on flood and erosion safety services and stewardship activities.

In reflecting on his term as chair, Deb Shewfelt highlighted the authority's commitment to working with municipalities to address the impacts of local climate trends.
