A 26-member Board of Directors, also known as the General Membership, oversees the operation of the Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA). The board approves policies, programs and budgets.
About the GRCA's General Membership |
-
Board members are appointed by municipal councils of participating municipalities, generally after municipal elections.
-
Smaller municipalities may share one representative, while larger municipalities may have one representative or more.
-
Municipalities may appoint elected officials or make citizen appointments, though it is required that 70 per cent of a municipality’s appointees are elected officials.
-
A Provincial Order in Council (108KB PDF) designates the number of members a municipality, or group of municipalities, may appoint. (Note: The Order in Council is not an accessible PDF. Please email our office should you require an alternate format.)
-
A Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks notification letter (95KB PDF) is provided in accordance with the Conservation Authorities Act.

The GRCA General Membership usually meets on the fourth Friday of the month, at the GRCA Administration Centre (Google map). Meetings begin at 9:30 a.m. Board meetings are open to the public. Note: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, meetings are currently being held virtually. Members of the public can stream the live meeting, and view agendas, minutes and meeting dates on our Board Meetings page.
