River Systems Advisory Committee: 2008 to 2019

The River Systems Advisory Committee was disbanded by City Council as of December 31, 2019 in accordance with report IDE-2019-72 Environmental Advisory Committee and River Systems Advisory Committee Review.

There are efficiencies to be gained and benefits that would be realized through the disbandment of the EAC and RSAC and the establishment of a Natural Heritage Advisory Committee as a new advisory committee for the City of Guelph.

The River Systems Advisory Committee (RSAC) is a volunteer council appointed committee that provides advice and assistance to City Staff and Council on issues that impact on waterways and adjacent lands within the City of Guelph. The River Systems Advisory Committee provides recommendations to City Staff and Council on the following:

  • Monitoring, implementation and updating of the River Systems Management Study.
  • Monitoring, implementation and updating of subwatershed studies.
  • Planning and implementation of stream restoration for channels not included in the subwatershed plans.
