As a resident of the City of Thunder Bay, Ontario, 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 Lake Superior region is a unique environmental space with significant separation from the other areas proposed within this merger (both in physical distance and in ecological role). A stand-alone conservation authority for this region is imperative to the health and protection of the areas currently managed by the LRCA.
