As a resident of Thunder Bay…

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 proposed amalgamation is detrimental to Northwestern Ontario as it gives decision making to southern regions and does not support the complex, unique ecological work done by the LRCA and collaborations with Indigenous communities.
