The five creeks in Niagara on the Lake that flow into Lake Ontario are part of the watersheds monitored by the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA). Most creeks that flow into Lake Ontario in the Niagara peninsula were named based on the distance from the mouth of the Niagara River. In NOTL, these are Eight Mile Creek, Six Mile Creek, Four Mile Creek, Two Mile Creek and One Mile Creek.
NPCA role
The role of the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) is to evaluate the quality of local watersheds and provide that information to the public in order to measure environmental change, improve local knowledge, focus natural resource management actions where they are needed most, and motivate action in the watershed. Since 2005, the NPCA and its partners have produced report cards to inform its residents on the overall health of the Niagara Peninsula watershed.
The latest watershed report
The Watershed Report Card is part of an initiative by conservation authorities to evaluate key indicators of watershed health with guidelines and grading system provided by Conservation Ontario.
