I have many concerns with the proposed boundary change, especially in regards to geographical size. Under the proposed boundaries the Lake Erie Regional Conservation Authority Board would represent and make decisions for 80 municipalities. Local service delivery is critical to maintaining on the ground services to builders, developers and residents. The creation of a huge regional conservation authority will not only decrease accountability but increase bureaucracy, costs and timelines for local communities.

Local conservation authorities are very much intune with the environment, which can drastically change over large geographic regions. They have the experience and expertise of what is needed in their local community region.
