Home My WebLink AboutZurich Citizens News, 1975-12-10, Page 39By DEANNA YOUNG What is a conservation auth- ority and what does it do? How does it tie-in with government bodies? What are some of its current projects? These are just a few of the topics to be covered in this new monthly column written by staff members of the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation. Authority. Readers are invited to submit questions or comments either through the newspaper's office or directly to the Conservation Authoriy office in Exeter. A reply will be given to all inquiries and those of general interest will be incorporated into future columns. Many people, if they have wondered at all about Conser- vation Authorities, think they have something to do with planting trees, or perhaps building dans, or running small parks and camping areas. The Conservation Authority does, or can do, all of these, in addition to many other things. In general, it can be said that the purpose and function of an Authority is to carry out a co-ordinated program for the wise use and management of the renewable natural resources within its area of jurisdiction. An Authority is established as an independent corporate or- ganization under the provisions of the Conservation Authorities Act of Ontario. This act outlines how an Authority can be formed, how it must be organized and operated, and what powers it has in order to carry out its programs. It defines the area of jurisdiction of an Authority as all the land draining into a river system or systems, and this is called the watershed area. The act also describes how members are to be appointed to the Authority from each municipality in the watershed, based on the population of each municipality, and specifies that the provincial government may also appoint up to three members to an Authority, because of the provincial grants it provides. With 32 municipalities in or partially in the watersheds of the Ausable and the Bayfield Rivers, the Ausable-Bayfield Authority has 35 members including the three provincial appointees. It is only one of 38 Conservation Authorities in the province; but has the distinction of being the first Authority formed and there- fore the oldest, with its date of establishment as July 30, 1946. It was known for a long time as the Ausable River Conser- vation Authority, but in 1971 a number of municipalities in the Bayfield River system re- quested that the Authority be enlarged to include their area, and after the enlargement vote received the required two-thirds majority of the municipalities involved, the Authority was was enlarged and shortly there- after was re -named the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority, covering an area of approximately 1,000 square miles. Next month the column will describe the various programs of the Authority, how it is structured to implement these programs, and how it is funded. Details of some current projects will be given along with a description of winter activities in our conservation areas. LETTER TO EDITOR Especially at Christmas time, I think of all the used postage stamps that are needlessly dis- carded. These seemingly worth• less articles, from any country, are sold in bulk by the Scarboro Fathers, to stamp dealers, to help finance mission projects through- out the world. In 10 months I have received over 100 lbs. of cancelled postage stamps, in small quantities, in very large quantities, from schools, service clubs, compan- ies, individuals etc. They add up quickly if everyone collects them for me. It hardly takes a second to rip the used postage stamps off of an envelope leaving a bit of paper around it. This can be YOUR way of help- ing the world's poor without costing YOU a lot of time or money. Please send (by `Third Class' Mail) or bring all your cancelled postage stamps, anytime of the year to: Mrs. R. M. Chmay, 230 Jarvis Street, Fort Erie, Ontario, L2A 2S5 or Mrs. J. C. Lawrence, 6782 Dorchester Road, Niagara Falls, Ontario, L2J 2Z2.
