Source Protection Committees were established under the Province of Ontario’s Clean Water Act, 2006 to create and carry out a plan to protect municipal sources of drinking water.
There are 19 Source Protection Committees in Ontario, with representatives from the public, economic and municipal sectors.
Source protection committees meet regularly and work towards the completion of three major pieces of work: - Terms of Reference - Assessment Report - Source Protection Plan
The CTC Source Protection Committee is composed of 21 members and represents the watersheds contained within the Credit Valley, Toronto and Region and Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authorities - see Conservation Authority (Canada). This area includes the municipalities of Toronto, Peel Region, Durham Region, York Region and parts of Wellington County, Halton Region and Dufferin County.

—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“What lies behind facts like these: that so recently one could not have said Scott was not perfect without earning at least sorrowful disapproval; that a year after the Gang of Four were perfect, they were villains; that in the fifties in the United States a nothing-man called McCarthy was able to intimidate and terrorise sane and sensible people, but that in the sixties young people summoned before similar committees simply laughed.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
