I oppose the change to the current conservation authority management areas in Northern Ontario. The intention of aligning with water sheds is not valid as these areas are in different watersheds. The vast geography of Northern Ontario means there will be less local representation. The interaction between the municipalities and the conservation authority is very important and has an impact on local development and recreational infrastructure etc. I support local decisions to be made locally rather than potentially 1000 of kms away. I don’t think citizens in Ottawa would be happy with combining with London Ontario so why would it be acceptable to combine authorities equally as far apart in Northern Ontario?
