              Lakehead Region Conservation Authority
              Collectivité · 1954-

              The Lakehead Region Conservation Authority (LRCA) was founded in 1954, as the name Neebing Valley Conservation Authority. It became the Lakehead Region Conservation Authority in 1963. Members of the Board of Directors are appointed by municipalities: represented are Thunder Bay, Neebing, Shuniah, Oliver Paipoonge, Conmee, Dorion, Gillies, and O'Connor.

              In 1946, the Ontario government legislated the Conservation Authority Act. The act provided municipalities with the responsibility for managing their watershed resources. The LRCA was founded under the authority of the Conservation Authority Act.

              The LRCA has become an environmental non-profit that aims to conserve and protect the Lakehead area waterways. The LRCA manages the watersheds' risk against flooding and erosion from public and private developments, and monitors the Lakehead region's water through GIS mapping and sampling to provide safe drinking water.
