The vacancies have opened up as some members are choosing to retire after years of service. The change is also to meet regulatory requirements that ensure a portion of the committee changes on a regular schedule. “The scheduled rotation of a portion of the committee’s membership ensures there is a mix of new voices and experienced members on the committee,” said Mary Lynn MacDonald, Program Co-Supervisor. “The committee was first formed in 2007 and some members, after years of dedicated service, have told us they are ready to retire.”
There are about four committee meetings (half-day or full-day meetings) per year. There is remuneration for time and travel. Those who would like to apply are asked to indicate the position in which they are interested on their cover letter attached to a résumé. The source protection authorities are accepting applications until Monday, November 4, 2019. A summary of member obligations, full job description, notice, and application details are on the local source protection website (sourcewaterinfo.on.ca).
The make-up of the committee is shaped by the source protection committee regulation (Ontario Regulation 288/07) and by a local process that took place to decide how to include diverse voices at the committee table. One third of the committee is from municipalities. One third of the committee comes from economic sectors (agriculture; industry; commerce). The other third of the committee represents other interests (e.g., general public; property owner and residents’ associations; environmental).
The Ausable Bayfield Maitland Valley Drinking Water Source Protection Committee was Ontario’s first SPC when it was formed in 2007. The committee reduces risk to local municipal drinking water sources. It makes this happen by putting into action policies in locally developed, provincially approved source protection plans. This work is made possible by the Ontario Clean Water Act, 2006.
