I agree with HCA’s submission to the ERO. I am concerned about losing local decision-making and I support keeping conservation decisions rooted in our community. I also am concerned that having larger regional conservation authorities would increase the price of a conservation area pass as it would be for many more areas than before and might become cost-prohibitive to many families at a time when kids and adults need to have easier access to natural areas and outdoor experiences. Not only that, but many of the areas within a regional conservation area would be outside of a reasonable drive for easy access to, so you’d be paying a lot for something you’d only use part of.
