This is a very bad idea. The consolidation is far to large and will only result in poorer service to all Ontarians who need access a conservation area. Please reconsider this change for the good of our province and the environment.

The proposed Lake Erie Regional Conservation Authority — covering 8 conservation authorities and 81 municipalities — is much too large to remain responsive and effective. Lire davantage

As a cottager in Rideau Lakes, I am vehemently opposed to this change in the Conservation Authorities. We need the smaller entities to have better oversight on projects that impact our lakes and watersheds. Lire davantage

PlEASE DO NOT change how the conservation authority works because it is working and it should be a local authority. Conservation Authorities work best when decisions are made close to the land and the people affected Lire davantage

There is no need to make changes. The conservation authorities have done an excellent job and their work is critical to controlling water and offering recreational opportunities. Leave decision making changes to local authorities that know the issues.

By merging several conservation authorities together, you lose the local insight on each watershed. This idea doesn’t recognize the importance of local expertise, programs or interests. Lire davantage

I do not support ERO-025-1257 (proposed boundaries for the regional consolidation of Ontario’s conservation authorities) to consolidate Ontario’s 36 Conservation Authorities into 7 regional conservation authorities. Lire davantage

I’m an early-career ecologist who has worked for conservation non-profits and the Hamilton Conservation Authority. Even within one conservation authority (eg Hamilton) there are so many different ecosystems and specific regional challenges to be addressed to protect the health of the watershed. Lire davantage

The decision to pass the act without public consultation first on the concept demonstrates and shakes confidence that this is going ahead regardless. The promise of no job loss was exactly like the MNR re-organization where families were uprooted and dedicated staff were left stranded. Lire davantage

As a Dundas resident I know first hand what amalgamation can do. Disaster. Hamilton Conservation Authority should stay in local hands. HCA already provides efficient, reliable service. Lire davantage

I want the smaller conservation authorities left in place because local knowledge is vital for protection of the environment. I have to wonder why this is being done, and who is pushing for this change. Lire davantage

As a member if the Thames-Syndenham Source Protection Committee. I feel like amalgamation proposed will form a top down approach instead of the current bottom up approach where each authority can deal with problems within their own watershed. Lire davantage

My main concern, among many, is reduced accountability from the Regional Conservation Authority to local municipalities. For over 80 years, Conservation Authorities have operated on a local watershed-based model because water and ecosystems do not follow municipal boundaries. Lire davantage

With the rising environmental issues and climate crisis, we need more manpower and resources to work on climate adaptation, natural resources management and biodiversity conservation, rather than less! Lire davantage
