The Thunder Bay District…

The Thunder Bay District Environmental Stewardship Committee opposes the proposed amalgamation of the Lakehead Regional Conservation Authority (LRCA) with six other Southern Ontario Conservation Authorities to form the “Huron-Superior Regional Conservation Authority”. The logistics of covering such a large area as proposed, and the unique demands of the large area and relatively small population served by the LRCA, make the proposed amalgamation inefficient and ineffective in meeting their mandate. We support the LRCA recommendation that the Lakehead Region Conservation Authority form a stand-alone regional conservation authority as the “Northwestern Ontario Regional Conservation Authority”.
