Chris White, mayor of Guelph-Eramosa Township, moves from vice-chair to chair. He succeeds Helen Jowett, who had served as chair since 2016.
“The role of conservation authorities in Ontario has never been more important,” White said in a prepared statement. “As a leading watershed management agency, we remain focused on the health, wellness and sustainability of our communities.
“I look forward to leading our board, working with all levels of government and supporting GRCA staff as we continue to work on the recent updates to the Conservation Authorities Act.”
