Fonds F2630 - Little Cataraqui Environment Association fonds

The Little Cataraqui Conservation Association was established in 1973 "to preserve as a greenbelt the natural state of the Little Catarqui River waters, floodplain, and adjacent lands." This objective was to be achieved through promoting development of, and adherence to, long range land use plans within all municipalities which the Little Cataraqui River flowed, and by ensuring that these plans preserved the natural state of that river. The LCEA also sought to encourage and monetarily support purchases of such lands by the various municplaities; assess the environmental impact of sewer, water, road, or land development which would affect the Little Cataraqui River or lowlands; document the environmental impact any public hearing and/or municpal meetings at which potential development affecting the Little Cataraqui River was dsicussed; suppor other organizations whose objectives were in harmony with thsoe of the LCEA; and promote public education releated to all their objectives. While very robust over the interveneing years, by 20009, with an ageing membership and no new leadership emerging, the LCEA decided to wind up its activities.
