The Moodna Creek Watershed Intermunicipal Council and its Education and Outreach Committee and Science and Data Committee are made up of designated representatives from 15 municipalities within the Watershed, the OCWA, as well as non-governmental organizations and individuals. The Council and its Committees will work cooperatively to address priority issues of the Moodna Creek and its watershed. The creation of the Council was an outcome of the Moodna Creek Watershed Conservation and Management Plan. Benefits of forming the Council include increased eligibility for many grants, due to intermunicipal partnership, improved communication across municipal boundaries and more effective solutions to water resource issues due to comprehensive (watershed) approach and coordination of organizational efforts.
