Welcome to NBMCA.ca

During the Provincial Emergency and Stay-at-Home Order issued by the province on April 8, 2021, the North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority will continue to deliver programs that have been deemed an “Essential Business/Service” by the Ontario/Canadian government. 

The North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority continues to follow the guidance of the North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit to monitor the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and respond appropriately.  We continue to examine our business practices to find a balance between our social responsibility to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and protecting our employees from potential exposure while continuing to deliver essential services.

Corbeil Conservation Area, which was closed in March due to spring runoff, has now reopened.

All three snow course survey sites are snow free, making 2021 among the earliest snow-free seasons since the North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority began measuring snow depth and water content in 1987 as part of its flood forecasting and warning program.

(North Bay, Ontario, April 1, 2021)  Two of the three snow survey stations are now without snow, bringing the average snow depth down 23.8 cm and the average water equivalence down 83.7 mm since the last snow survey March 22, reports the North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority (NBMCA) who measures snow depth and water content as part of its Flood Forecasting and Warning Program.
