SNC welcomes new chairman
(SNC). “It’s been a really great experience.” Levere handed over the chairman’s gavel to Bill Smirle, the SNC’s director for North Dundas Township. Smirle was acclaimed as the new chairman without any compe- tition. Doug Thompson, one of the City of Ottawa’s representatives on the board, was acclaimed as the new vice-chairman. During his own acceptance speech, Smir- le recalled some advice he’d received once about being in public office. “Be punctual, be clear, be brief,” he said, smiling. Smirle drew on his background as a long- time farmer in Eastern Ontario to outline his guiding principles during his term as the SNC’s new chairman. “For a famer there are the four H’s,”he said.
“Head, heart, hands, and help. For me now as chairman, I propose the four C’s: commu- nication, collaboration, coordination, and cooperation. I want us to have positive vis- ibility and positive results.” Smirle recalled a traditional First Nations proverb about humanity’s environmental responsibility. “We do not own the land,” he said, “we only borrow it from our children.” The South Nation Conservation Author- ity manages the South Nation River wa- tershed, one of three major watersheds in Eastern Ontario. The SNC monitors water level conditions and manages flood control programs along with doing environmental research on local flora and fauna, and man- aging conservation programs.
