"As a resident 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”. The habitat and wildlife of Northwestern Ontario is vastly different from Southern Ontario and needs to be treated accordingly. It is unique and should not be amalgamated with conservation authorities with no watershed or municipal connection. A one-size-fits-all approach will end up costing the province money.
