I, ___Eric Reist___RPF_______, resident of ____Dryden___________, am OPPOSED to the Province’s proposed amalgamation of the Lakehead Region Conservation Authority (LRCA) with six other Southern Ontario Conservation Authorities to form the “Huron-Superior Regional Conservation Authority”. I support LRCA’s recommendation that the Lakehead Region Conservation Authority form a stand-alone regional conservation authority as the “Northwestern Ontario Regional Conservation Authority”.As a professional forester I believe a stand alone conservation authority will better serve our area in making decisions that impact us locally. This will lead to better conservation decisions for fish and wildlife in our area.
