Hamilton Conservation Authority

Our Ecology and Education teams recently joined forces at the 2026 Hamilton Children’s Water Festival, connecting with more than 900 students over three exciting days of hands-on environmental learning.

At our Aqua Invaders station, students discovered the impact invasive species can have on local ecosystems through interactive games, activities, and real-world examples. From a fast-paced tag game showing how quickly invasive species can spread, to learning how simple actions like brushing off their boots can help stop hitchhiking seeds, students became eco-heroes in action!

A big thank you to the for organizing another incredible event and to all the community partners who helped inspire the next generation of environmental stewards.

HCA is seeking public input for the Dundas Valley Study Area Plans (Phase 1).

We are updating Master Plans and Management Plans for several conservation areas in the Dundas Valley area as part of our Ten-Year Master Plan Update Strategy. These plans provide a long-term vision and help guide how conservation areas are managed, restored, improved, and developed over time.

Phase 1 areas include Tiffany Falls Conservation Area, Iroquoia Heights Conservation Area, Meadowlands Conservation Area, Lower Spencer Creek Conservation Area, and Canal Park.

Public surveys are open until June 12, 2026.
