Mayor Stavinga informed Council of some of the history of the Richmond Conservation Area, noting that the Township had planned to appoint members to the Richmond Conservation Area Management Team (RCAMT) some time ago. That was not possible earlier, because of an error made by the Ministry of the Environment regarding the ownership of the land. This error has now been cleared up, and the Township is now the registered owner of the land. The land is also the subject of a Joint Use Agreement which will establish the tone of how the land is to be managed. The Township is now in a position to appoint members to the RCAMT. She noted that there are still some positions to be filled.
