The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority continues to be financially stable, according to the 2024 financial audit conducted by KPMG.

The independent audit found no concerns, and the NVCA maintains a good financial position with healthy reserves, prudent financial practices and responsible stewardship of public funds.

“This audit reflects NVCA’s commitment to careful financial management and accountability to our member municipalities and residents,” said NVCA Chair Jonathan Scott. “It provides a solid foundation for our ongoing work to strengthen service delivery and protect the Nottawasaga watershed.”

In addition to maintaining a strong financial position, NVCA continues to implement operational improvements.

Over the past several months, NVCA has cut the development planning and permitting backlog of files in half, introduced a risk-based system to fast-track low-risk permits such as pools and septic systems, and launched a new e-permitting platform to improve customer experience and internal efficiency.

It has also strengthened customer service standards across departments.

“These improvements are helping ensure that NVCA remains a trusted partner in supporting safe, sustainable growth while protecting rivers, wetlands, forests and other natural resources,” Scott added.

NVCA’s full audit and financial statements are available at nvca.on.ca.
