Association
About Us

The Missisquoi River Basin Association's (MRBA) goal is to restore and maintain the ecological integrity of the Missisquoi River system so that the uses and values desired by the community are supported by the river and the quality of its water. The MRBA was established in 1996. The MRBA currently has one part-time staff person and is guided by a steering committee. The steering committee meets monthly.
