Credit Valley Conservation Authority

Credit Valley Conservation Authority protects and restores the Credit River watershed that flows through Mississauga and surrounding communities in the GTA. The organization manages forests, wetlands, and stream habitats while working with landowners, municipalities, and residents to reduce flooding, improve water quality, and prevent erosion. Their work includes operating conservation areas that provide trails and natural spaces for public recreation, conducting environmental monitoring and restoration projects, and delivering education programs about watershed health. The authority also advises on land development to minimize environmental impact and helps communities adapt to climate change through green infrastructure planning and implementation.
