Hello, I am not supportive…

Hello, I am not supportive of the consolidation of the CAAs in Ontario.

Efficiency is important. Many provincial programs have had similar reform and consolidations applied in the name of efficiency and standardization only to become unreachable and unrelatable from a local level.

I appreciate my local CAA, Kettle Creek Conservation Authority. I appreciate that they know our area and lands, they listen to us at a local level, they are reachable and accessible at a local level and they are already efficient and transparent.

I've built a home or two, I've went through our permitting processes and the experience was fine - the response times were good and the CAA is reasonable to appropriately draw lines and boundaries to protect our watershed and our local communities.

Keep the CAAs at the local level - consolidation is unnecessary
