Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) will be hosting three public consultation sessions between June 20th and June 26th regarding Wetland Mapping Updates and development policies. On April 1, 2024, the province replaced all 36 individual conservation authority regulations (including 174/06) with Ontario Regulation 41/24: Prohibited Activities, Exemptions and Permits. This standardized regulation requires conservation authorities to regulate all wetlands plus a 30 metre buffer (which is reduced from 120 metres) and prohibits development activities in this area unless a permit is issued by the conservation authority.
