Conservation Authorities are working just fine as they are and protect important pieces of the Ontario landscape against incursion by municipalities, regions and the Province. This Act should NOT be modified, at least not in the ways proposed.

Conservation should be made a department of the Regional Government Planning departments. This would establish who is in charge and normalize conservation decisions. The Region could then delegate a conservation officer for each municipality to enforce the Conservation Act. Lire davantage

If the proposed changes force Conservation Areas to charge entry fees in order to fund accessibility features such as parking lots and managed trails and boardwalks then the ability of lower income residents of Ontario to enjoy the shared bounty of our beautiful province will be restricted and in so Lire davantage

I am a member of a Delegation consisting of 65+ shoreline property owners in an area regulated by the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority. I strongly believe that there needs to be strengthening of the governance of CA's. At a minimum I would suggest that: Lire davantage

It is most disconcerting to hear that the government is proposing to curtail the activities of the conservation authorities. The recreational and public access component of the CA program is just as important as the conservation priority. Lire davantage
