MVCA Information
Directors and Municipalities
The MVCA has 15 member municipalities. Each municipality appoints a representative to the Authority's Board of Directors. In some cases municipalities share a representative. The MVCA Board of Directors is comprised of a Chair, Vice Chair and nine additional Directors.

The Board meets on the third Wednesday of each month with the exception of January when the meeting is usually the last Wednesday of the month, and July and August when the Board does not meet. The Board usually meets at the MVCA Administration Centre in Wroxeter.

The Board of Directors believes strongly in providing community based conservation services in a cost effective manner.
