Curriculum Vitae
PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
Advanced ability to understand and interpret Federal and Provincial legislation acquired through 12 plus
years experience administrating and enforcing various Provincial legislation, including, but not limited
to, the Conservation Authorities Act and associated Conservation Authority regulations.
I have been employed for a total of 8 years in the regulations and planning departments of Conservation
Authorities, including my current position with the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority as the
Environmental Planner / Regulations officer. In this position I am largely responsible for:
• Administering and enforcing the Authority’s Development, Interference with Wetlands
and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation (Ontario Regulation
64/06).
• Responding to violations contrary to the Regulation, including site investigation and
facilitating legal action.
• Reviewing and commenting on Planning Act applications to develop within and
adjacent to hazards lands (floodplains, river valleys, shorelines) and
environmentally significant areas.
• Processing Authority permit applications under O. Regulation 164/06.
• Evaluating development proposals to determine potential impacts on terrestrial and
aquatic ecosystems.
• Performing site inspections, elevation surveys, and attending site meetings for proposal
review.
In order to carry out the above tasks I am knowledgable and experienced in interpretation of natural
features from field observations and air photos and assessing impacts of development on features. I have
knowledge with respect to terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems based on my combined career experience
and secondary education.
