Mississippi Valley Conservation (MVC) is a local, watershed management agency delivering services and programs to help protect and manage water and other natural resources in the Mississippi River watershed.
A watershed is the area of land that drains into a waterbody. Located in eastern Ontario, the Mississippi Valley watershed covers an area of 4,450 km2. Using an integrated watershed management approach, the conservation authority works with stakeholders in the watershed to balance the needs of the community with the needs of the natural environment. MVC was established in May of 1968 and operates under the Conservation Authorities Act of Ontario. Conservation Authorities were created to bridge the gap between municipalities wholly or in part of the watershed boundary. This approach to watershed management ensures that the needs of all stakeholders are represented. MVC is governed by elected and appointed members representing each of the eleven municipalities located in the watershed. Learn more about MVC and Ontario Conservation Authorities. What's New
