Aurora Mayor Geoff Dawe returns as chair of the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA).

The board of directors re-elected him, for a third term, and Innisfil Coun. Richard Simpson to the position of vice-chair for a second term.

“Vice-chair Simpson and I are pleased to be able to offer another year of service to our watershed communities,” Dawe said. “We’ve both gained some really valuable experience dealing with a number of the initiatives and challenges over the course of our previous terms. And with the unwavering commitment of our fellow board members, we’re confident that we can continue to lead the way in making our communities more resilient to climate change impacts.”

Among other business, the LSRCA also released its 2016 annual report, detailing the highlights of its achievements over the past year. Accompanying the report was a short video encapsulating and celebrating the accomplishments.

“It’s clear the work we’re doing is having an impact,” Simpson said. “I’m particularly impressed with our youth outreach. As our leaders of tomorrow, we are creating a generation that will continue to create new and better solutions to address environmental issues.”
