Source Protection & Municipal Planning Documents
Staff at the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change have developed a guidance document to support source protection staff at conservation authorities who are working with municipalities to update land use planning documents (i.e. official plans and zoning by-laws) to include source protection considerations. The document requires familiarity with the Clean Water Act and source protection.
Education and Outreach Resource Catalogue
