CH held its 59th inaugural board meeting on Feb. 26 at its administration office at 2596 Britannia Rd. in north Burlington. John Vice was acclaimed as its chair, his fifth consecutive year leading the board. Vice has been with the board for 11 years. Duddeck was elected as vice-chair for the first time. The chair and vice-chair are elected by members of the CH board of directors for one-year terms. They must be current members of the Conservation Halton board and are nominated by their peers. ".... It's a unique place to be and an honour to serve. I've been on the board for 11 years and there is some really good stuff happening especially in the areas of education and recreation, where Conservation Halton is a leader," Vice said in a press release. The CH board is comprised of elected officials and citizen representatives appointed by the communities within Conservation Halton's watershed -- four reps each for Burlington and Oakville, three for Milton, two each for Halton Hills, Mississauga/ Peel Region and Hamilton, and one bers to the 18-person Conservation Halton Board. Among the new reps is Jim Sweetlove, a citizen rep for Burlington; he previously served as a citizen rep for Hamilton, but was not on the board during the previous term. Milton Mayor Gord Krantz has been on the CH board since 1973.
