At Lower Trent Conservation, strong leadership is the foundation of our success in protecting and enhancing the natural environment within our watershed. We are pleased to announce the appointment of Gene Brahaney as the new Chair and Sherry Hamilton as the new Vice-Chair, following their election on February 13, 2025.

Meet Chair Brahaney

Gene Brahaney, representing Trent Hills, was elected as the new Chair of Lower Trent Conservation. He has been on the Board of Directors since 2019 and instrumental in supporting our watershed.

Meet Vice – Chair Hamilton

Sherry Hamilton, representing Cramahe, was elected as the new Vice-Chair. Sherry brings a wealth of experience and dedication sitting on the Board of Directors since 2023. Her leadership and commitment make her an invaluable asset to the Board of Directors.

A Commitment to Conservation

As Chair and Vice-Chair, Gene and Sherry will work closely with staff and board members, to ensure that Lower Trent Conservation fulfills its mission. Lower Trent Conservation is accountable to the residents of its watershed through its Board of Directors appointed by the elected councils of each member municipality. This accountability, combined with local decision making, is a key strength that Lower Trent Conservation draws on as it works with its partners to address the region’s environmental challenges.

The Lower Trent Conservation Board of Directors is comprised of 10 members representing the 7 municipalities located either entirely, or partly within the Lower Trent watershed region.

We are grateful for their contributions and look forward to the continued progress of the organization. To learn more about Lower Trent Conservation’s Board of Directors check out our website: https://ltc.on.ca/about-us/board-of-directors/
