The City of Guelph, and it’s various partners and agencies, put out a lot of information on a weekly basis, and while it all ends up on the City’s website somewhere, wouldn’t it be easier to just scroll through it all on one easy-to-read article on Guelph Politico here…?

This month’s meeting of the Grand River Conservation Authority’s membership was focused on customer service. Staff presented one report about why there’s no rock climbing in the ironically located Rockwood Conservation Area, and then there was more information about why capacity limits exist at the Elora Quarry Conservation Area. That was the big business, but there was other business for us to recap… Continue reading “RECAP: GRCA Board Hears About Rock Climbing and Quarry Capacity”
This month’s meeting of the Grand River Conservation Authority membership is the last one before a summer break (like a lot of local boards and committees), and that means it’s time for some unfinished business.

The business of managing the City of Guelph goes beyond the confines of the council chambers, so starting this year Guelph Politico has expanded its meeting coverage to nine local boards and shared services committees.

This month, the Grand River Conservation Authorities membership meeting has money matters on the mind. First, there’s a major update on the fiscal year so far, and then the membership will dive into how the authority will budget for the next fiscal year. Speaking of money, the why and how the GRCA sells off land it doesn’t need anymore will come into focus with some procedural changes. All that, and a delegation too! Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Grand River Conservation Membership Meeting for May 26, 2023”
This month’s meeting of the Grand River Conservation Authority was not terribly controversial. The new insurance premium was approved, new jobs were awarded, and there was a discussion about the flooding event that only happened in some areas back at the beginning of April. But if any of this sounds like it might be of interest to you, you’re still invited to scroll through this month’s recap below… Continue reading “RECAP: GRCA Membership Holds Straightforward April Meeting”
Spring is here, so maybe that’s why the April meeting for the member of the Grand River Conservation Authority is going to be relatively light. What’s coming up this month?

Let’s look at the agenda this month from the GRCA. Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Grand River Conservation Membership Meeting for April 28, 2023”
