Integrated Monitoring Program (IMP)

In 1999 Credit Valley Conservation implemented an Integrated Monitoring Program (IMP) to help determine progress in achieving its goal of "ensuring an environmentally healthy river for economically and socially healthy communities".

The IMP focuses on a diverse range of monitoring parameters that act as indicators of ecosystem health. Integrating expertise from such disciplines as meteorology, hydrogeology, hydrology, fluvial geomorphology, water quality, and biology allows for many facets of the environment to be simultaneously analyzed.

Lands and Conservation Areas

Terra Cotta Silvercreek Management Plan
Credit Valley Conservation has commenced the development of a Management Plan for the land complex entitled Terra Cotta and Silver Creek Conservation Areas . Our Management Plan will ensure that we can cater to both current and future needs to meet the the challenge of balancing the conservation of its natural environment with the pressures of increasing use.

Greenlands Securement Strategy (2004)

The Greenlands Securement Strategy is a science-driven, criteria-based process that identifies significantly important conservation land. The CVC Greenlands Securement Strategy recommends at a minimum, over the next 20 years, that 5,670 hectares of greenlands within the Credit River Watershed be secured by CVC and its partners, as these lands will contribute to the foundation of a connected system that will provide natural heritage protection, appreciation and recreational benefits for healthy ecosystems and healthy communities.

This document is designed to complement regulatory and voluntary programs of CVC, and provide practical implementation of regional government and area municipal greenlands securement policies.

Sustainable Water Management

Changes, caused by Nature or humans, affect the health of our watershed and our communities. CVC has been studying the watershed for many years and we are currently involved in a number of studies that will help us to better assess the health of the river and the local ecosystems.

A brief 4-page report on our activities 1998 - 2000, called "Sustainable Water Management" is available in a downloadable Acrobat (.pdf) version or in hardcopy from our office at 1255 Old Derry Road, Mississauga, Ontario.

CVC Reports 1998

Credit Valley Conservation has compiled several studies and reports over the past years onto an informative CD. The reader should refer to each report or study for particular acknowledgements and data limitations. Each document is available in a downloadable Acrobat (.pdf) version and may take some time to load.

Please email CVC if you have dial-up and require the files to be sent to you on a Compact Disc.
