Why do we need to…

Why do we need to consolidate conservation authorities? The reason for this amalgamation has not been justified. Locally based decision-making and accountability is important for Conservation. The Hamilton Conservation Authority has a positive track record of responsiveness and success. It is comprised of passionate individuals who live near the trails they maintain. The creation of less localized authorities would only make responses to local issues worse. It is yet another cut back affecting our quality of life and threatening our natural heritage. It feels like the consolidation is for the benefit of those looking to erode our protected land, not for those who want to protect it!
