title: Achievements of the Grand River Conservation Authority, Ontario, Canada.
abstract: Winning the 2000 International River prize resulted from a significant investment by the community of Ontario over a long period of time in the Grand River Conservation Authority, GRCA. Innovative partnerships with the business community, government, universities, First Nations tribes, environment groups and the general community have been the hallmark of a broad-based river management program that has returned the Grand River to a healthy environment and usable resource. Recognising this, the Grand River received special recognition from the Canadian Heritage Rivers Board--as a designated Heritage River. Not content with the achievements of the past, the GRCA has turned its attention to the future needs of this river system and to increasing the depth and breadth of community partnerships.
