Significant Valleys

Significant Valleys (ROP_valleys) are a component of Map 4 of the Regional Official Plan (ROP) as adopted by Council on June 16, 2009. The Significant Valleys designation identifies valleys of the Grand River, Conestogo River, Nith River and Speed River, which are together nationally recognized as a Canadian Heritage River. Significant Valleys comprise the entire river channel within the region and run up to the point where the slope of the valley begins to grade into the surrounding upland.
