Credit Valley Conservation
Environmental Services
Dedicated to conserving, restoring, developing and managing the Credit River Watershed.
About us
Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) is a local conservation authority established by the Ontario government in 1954 to protect, restore and enhance the natural environment of the Credit River watershed. That watershed is the area of land where all rainfall, snowmelt and runoff drain into lands and waters flowing into the Credit River. CVC creates connections between people and nature, knowledge and action. It inspires a deep appreciation for the role of nature in keeping people connected, healthy and happy. CVC is a member of Conservation Ontario.

Dreams Take Flight: Water Quality Monitoring Enters the Drone Age We’re thrilled to share an exciting development in our water quality research - we've welcomed a high-tech new team member to help us reach new frontiers! Thanks to the generous support of the Region of Peel, the Real-time Water Quality team now has acquired a DJI Matrice 600 Pro drone. This isn't just any flying machine - it's a game-changer for environmental monitoring. In our first test flight with the drone, we outfitted it with a Hydrolab HL 7 multi-parameter sonde and camera to capture a detailed temperature profile of the Credit River. The aerial data collection was a resounding success, providing stunning thermal imagery and a precise vertical temperature map. And this is just the beginning! Next, we're taking our drone to survey lakes, mapping a suite of water quality parameters like temperature, dissolved oxygen, specific conductivity, pH, chlorophyll-a and phycocyanin (a proxy for detecting cyanobacteria). Integrating drone technology into our research is revolutionizing how we monitor and protect our precious water resources. We can't wait to see what other secrets our aerial assistant uncovers as we continue to push the boundaries of environmental science from new heights. Stay tuned for more updates as our drone program evolves! See the drone in action in our latest video https://lnkd.in/evTRhUGF

We are testing emerging stormwater technologies like our head office smart blue roof to understand its performance and potential for larger applications across its watershed. CVC’s smart blue roof is performing great and captured close to 80 millimetres of rainfall or 28,700 litres over the weekend. Other areas in Mississauga received up to 110 mm which our smart blue roof could have fully retained.
Credit Valley Conservation ‘s smart blue roof for the win 🥇! Our blue roof captured nearly 80 mm of rainfall over the weekend. That’s approximately 28,700 L of rain fall, and we can still hold another 80 mm before reaching capacity. Phil James James Cowan Bernadeta Surowiec (M.Eng., M.Env.Sc.)

Thank you Conservation Halton, one of our partners in conservation, for joining our Integrated Watershed Monitoring Program (IWMP) staff this week to collect data on fish communities in the Credit River. This event was a great opportunity for CVC and CH to share knowledge on sampling techniques and fish species identification. For 25 years, IWMP staff has been tracking conditions and trends in ecosystem health across the Credit River Watershed.

We were proud to attend the International Water Association's #WorldWaterCongress this week! Our Smart Blue Roof presentation highlighted how it can reduce the risks of flooding, protect water quality in streams and build resilience in a changing climate. With increased risk of flooding due to more extreme and unpredictable rainfall patterns across Canada, there is a need for innovative approaches to stormwater management, particularly in highly urbanized areas. Piloting and implementing a smart blue roof at our corporate office will allow us to report on the actual costs and benefits of such an innovative system and how it can be implemented on a wide scale in communities across Canada.

Trees do a lot of good work for us and the environment. 🌳 Provide shade 🌳 Create wildlife habitat 🌳 Capture carbon 🌳 Reduce flooding and water pollution Phil and Gail Winters from GoodLot Farm & GoodLot Farmstead Brewing Co. have turned Shaws Creek retired hayfields into a natural sanctuary by planting over 5,500 trees. The land, once inaccessible due to seasonal wetness, now prevents erosion and flooding. Over the past 20 years, the Peel Rural Water Quality Program has planted an impressive 81,500 trees and shrubs, and supported this massive project. Connect with us to get started on a project of your own! 🌳 cvc.ca/GetStarted #PRWQP20 #PeopleDriveChange #TreePlanting #Conservation
