 The Seine- Rat River Conservation District is the first to have a conservation plan approved. The watershed management plan is in place to clean up and preserve the water sources in the region. A total of 15 municipalities, towns and cities have combined their efforts to make the plan a reality. As of November 1, 2009, the SRRCD boundary includes all or portions of the Rural Municipalities of La Broquerie, Ste Anne, Hanover, De Salaberry, Ritchot, Tache, Stuartburn, Springfield, Reynolds, Montcalm, the City of Steinbach, the Village of St Pierre-Jolys, and the Town of Ste Anne. On April 1, 2010, the Town of Niverville and a portion of the RM of Franklin will be officially joining the SRRCD. Conservation District Chair Cornie Goertzen says that all the people who head into the meeting think watershed and not RM. They think of the bigger picture. Melnick says this is very forward thinking and is a link to their accomplishments thus far. |
