As a resident of the a City of Thunder Bay, I 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”.

Amalgamating the LRCA with six other southern Ontario based conservation authorities will introduce too many increased costs associated with rebranding, amalgamation, etc., it will further erode the North’s ability to advocate for ourselves and it will create a logistical nightmare to be included in a jurisdiction primarily based around 1,500 km away.
