The Lakehead Region Conservation Authority is a conservation authority in northern Ontario. It was established in 1954, under the name Neebing Valley Conservation Authority, and became Lakehead Region Conservation Authority in 1963.[1]
In 2025, the government of Ontario released a plan to consolidate conservation authorities across the province; under this plan, LRCA would have been combined with conservation authorities in southern Ontario on the shore of Lake Huron.[2] Due to objections to this proposal, the plan was partly walked back.[3] A name change is planned to "Northwestern Regional Conservation Authority."
The LRCA monitors Lake Superior water levels, and manages conservation areas.
