Don River Watershed Plan   
Meetings and Events 
Reports and Presentations - Coming Soon 
--> The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, in consultation with the multi-stakeholder Don Watershed Regeneration Council (DWRC) and watershed municipalities, is developing a watershed plan for the Don River. This watershed planning process has been initiated in response to a number of recent policy and planning developments, including the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act 2001, and to update the original management strategy outlined in Forty Steps to a New Don (1994). The full watershed plan will be released in 2009 and will provide updated direction for the watershed, to reflect the considerable activities that have been undertaken since Forty Steps and the efforts of the DWRC and other organizations. 
 
 The objectives of the watershed planning study are to fill identified information gaps, recommend updated management strategies that will guide land and water use decisions, and provide direction for implementation of priority regeneration actions. The study’s principles carry forward the Forty Steps’ approach to protect what is healthy, regenerate what is degraded, and take responsibility for the Don.
