About Us

The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) is a local watershed management organization, incorporated under the Conservation Authorities Act (1946).

Since 1951, we have been dedicated to conserving, restoring and managing the Lake Simcoe watershed​.

Our jurisdiction, which began in the East Holland River with five municipalities, has grown to include the entire Lak​e Simcoe watershed with the exception of the City of Orillia and the Upper Talbot River subwatershed.

We are governed by an 18-member Board of Directors, appointed within a four-year cycle by its 9 member municipalities. Each year, the Board of Directors elects a Chair and Vice Chair from among its 18 members.

Healthy lake, healthy land, healthy life... for generations to come.
