"As a resident of Thunder Bay, 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 province always seems to forget about the plight of the North. Our climate, natural hazards, and land use issues are very much different than that in the south. Putting us together with any southern Ontario conservation Authority is definitely an afterthought and again the north will suffer while everything will focus on the south. This always happens to us. The north is different and the north is important.
