I am a lifelong resident of Thunder Bay. I have long supported the Lakehead Region Conservation Authority (LRCA). I frequently use the conservation areas for recreation and take advantage programs developed by the LRCA (E.g. native species planting programs) that are curated specifically for the benefit of the local region and its ecosystems and watersheds.

I am strongly 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” so it can continue to support the local needs of our region.
