to ensure that every

water management.
Our extension services
program offering financial
and technical assistance to
private landowners for
erosion control is now being
well understood and .used by
the citizens of our water-
shed. The Authority has
begun to resume its place in
the sun by educating ours
citizens of tomorrow at
Camp Sylvan, with this year
being a record for at-
tendance there."
Part of resource manager
Bill Mungall's report
follows:
"It is with quiet
satisfaction that I view the
Authority's accomplish-
ments of 1980 and the
direction it has established
for itself for the year ahead.
The specifics of the future
capital program for some
years ahead have begun to
come into focus through a
number of forward-looking
and insightful discussions in
the Advisory Boards this
past year.
Individual members and
the Boards themselves
frequently expressed their
interest in and the need for
long range planning of
projects. As a number of
major Authority
Mprogrammes- are within

this growing trend to
"looking ahead" to develop
new programmes is both
highly encouraging and
timely.
