The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) is an environmental protection and advisory agency that works with local municipalities, government agencies, special interest groups and the general public. RVCA works to protect the health of our watershed and the people who live in it through environmental monitoring and reporting, on-the-ground restoration and stewardship, conservation lands and education, development review and approval and flood forecasting and warning.
Our vision is for a thriving watershed with clean abundant water, natural shorelines, rich forests and wetland, diverse habitat and sustainable land use that is valued and protected by all. Our mission is to understand, manage, protect restore and enhance the Rideau watershed through science, stewardship, education, policy and leadership. Our success is based on local initiative, watershed jurisdiction and partnerships in resource management.
* In Canada, Crime Stoppers is a network of non-profit organizations that allow people who witness or become aware of a crime to report that crime anonymously.
* Crime Stoppers is NOT the police and guarantees "tipsters" that information they provide is held in the strictest confidence.
* Tipsters are NOT asked to provide their name, address, phone, email or any other information that may identify them.
* Tips may be submitted by phone at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submitted through a secure online portal.
* Crime Stoppers does NOT use caller ID or any other mode of tracking that could identify the tipster.
* The online portal also allows video from cell phones, dash cams and security cameras to be easily uploaded.
The Canadian Association of Police Governance (CAPG) is the only national organization dedicated to excellence in police governance in Canada. Founded in 1989 with the goal to improve the effectiveness of civilian bodies that govern local police services, we have since grown to represent 80% of municipal police service oversight bodies throughout Canada.
For over 30 years, the CAPG has worked diligently to achieve the highest standards as the national voice of civilian oversight of municipal police. Legitimate police powers are derived from the consent of the public. As a result, it is incumbent upon the members of the CAPG to safeguard the public trust by acting ethically. The ethical foundation of justice, rule of law, moral core, human dignity and democratic principles forms the context for ethical decision making, which guide decisions made by the CAPG. The primary duty of all CAPG members is to work in support of Canadian democratic values that are enshrined in the Constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
