As a resident of Thunder Bay…

As a resident of Thunder Bay, I am very much 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 idea of merging the LRCA with the Huron region seems like an absolutely shortsighted idea that was a complete afterthought. The LRCA provides such an amazing service, specific to the Thunder Bay region, and to lose that would be an absolutely terrible thing for our region. Please, consider these comments and think about the real impact this decision will have on our community.
