<\/p>\nBrampton Councillor Michael Palleschi will serve a third term as chair of Credit Valley Conservation.<\/p>\n
A Brampton city councillor has been named as chair of Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) for an unprecedented third term.<\/p>\n
Michael Palleschi, a Brampton Peel Regional councillor, was acclaimed to the position at a recent meeting of the agency\u2019s board of directors.<\/p>\n
The CVC is a local conservation authority that oversees, manages and protects the Credit River Watershed and protects people and property from natural hazards such as flooding and erosion while conserving natural resources.<\/p>\n
Palleschi has been a member of CVC\u2019s board since 2015, and approval was needed from the Ontario Ministry of Environment to allow him to take the position for a third term. Generally, the current limit for a board chair is two one-year terms.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m grateful for the confidence placed in me to continue as chair for a third term at such a pivotal moment for conservation authorities,\u201d said Councillor Palleschi. \u201cWith the Minister\u2019s exemption, our board can maintain continuity. I remain committed to ensuring strong governance and a smooth path forward that protects our watershed, strengthens our partnerships, and supports the communities we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n
The CVC Board of Directors also acclaimed Alvin Tedjo, Mississauga Ward 2 Councillor and Peel Regional Councillor, as vice-chair.<\/p>\n
