These regulations are intended to implement some of the amendments made to the Act over the last few years. In the fall 2021, the province communicated information about these new regulations directly to municipalities. One of these regulations, Ontario Regulation 687/21, Transition Plans and Agreements for Programs and Services Under Section 21.1.2 of the Act required each Conservation Authority to develop a Transition Plan which outlined timelines for developing and completing program and service agreements with watershed municipalities. The regulation required the Conservation Authority to circulate a transition plan by December 31, 2021 to all watershed municipalities as well as the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks. The Transition Plan was forwarded to the member municipalities in early December 2021. A second requirement under Ontario Regulation 687/21 is to develop an Inventory of Programs and Services based on the three categories identified in the Regulation. These categories, as defined by the regulation, include: (1) Mandatory, (2) Municipally requested, and (3) Other (that the Authority determines are advisable). The regulation further requires that the Inventory listing be submitted to the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks and circulated to all participating municipalities by February 28, 2022 as well as to post it on the GRCA's website. Attached is the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority's (GRCA) Programs and Services Inventory which indicates the category as well as the cost of each area based on the 2022 preliminary budget. This document which was approved by the Board of Directors at the February 17, 2022 meeting at which time the Board directed staff to distribute the Programs and Services Inventory to the member municipalities and the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks prior to February 28, 2022. The Inventory of Programs and Services is to be an evolving document. It is anticipated that refinements will be incorporated as negotiations with municipalities proceed and further discussions evolve within program areas. Updates will be provided to municipalities and posted on the Authority's website. The GRCA appreciates its partnership with all watershed municipalities and look forward to working with you on the agreements. ONEWS This correspondence has been sent to the Mayor, Chief Administrative Office and Clerk of all watershed municipalities.
