No July services at Knox Presbyterian
As Rev. Theresa McDonald-Lee

neighbouring churches.

Conservation Authorities
launch joint website
The Maitland Valley and the
Saugeen Valley Conservation
Authorities have launched My Land,
Our Water website.
The joint launch took place
Monday afternoon at the MVCA
offices in Wroxeter.
According to the MVCA, the
focus of My Land, Our Water is a
mapping application that enables
landowners to view information
about their property including aerial
photos or base maps, soil, slope,
wells and geology.
In addition, users can learn about
the vulnerability of their property to
surface and groundwater
contamination. The information
presented reflects the physical
attributes of a property rather than
the type of land use occurring on the
site.
The purpose of My Land, Our
Water is to improve access to
information on surface and
groundwater for rural and
agricultural landowners and
municipalities in the Maitland and
Saugeen watersheds.
Agriculture is the primary land
use activity in the Maitland and
Saugeen watersheds and the
majority of land is privately owned.
Most rural residents obtain their
water from private wells. Actions to
protect water need to occur at the
individual farm level. This project
provides landowners with
information about their own
property that will assist them in
taking proactive steps to protect
surface and groundwater.
