Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority Environmental Planning and Regulations Fees
The Conservation Authorities Act allows Conservation Authorities to set and charge fees for their programs and services. The Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority (SVCA) is updating its Environmental Planning and Regulations fees in 2026 in accordance with the linked Fee Schedule. This will be the first change to the fee schedule since 2023, when fees were temporarily frozen by the Province. The 2026 fees will take effect on March 1, 2026, and will apply uniformly to all clients across the watershed.
Should you have any questions related to the 2026 Fee Schedule please contact Matt Armstrong, Manager of Environmental Planning and Regulations at m.armstrong@svca.on.ca or 519-373-4367
