I urge the Province NOT to amalgamate Ontario's existing regional conservation authorities. Certainly the Premiere and Ministers are very aware of the diverse ecologies and distinct environments in existing conservation regions. Lire davantage

This is an absurd idea. We have seen already the damage done with other public services like education and healthcare. Environment is not something you play with. It affects the communities people live in and generations to come. I vote an absolute no to amalgamating conservative authorities. Lire davantage

"The current system of 36 separate conservation authorities is fragmented, with each conservation authority following different policies, standards, fees and levels of staffing and technical capabilities. Lire davantage

The old adage is” if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. My feeling is that bigger is not always better as local input is diluted when groups are amalgamated. Lire davantage

Over my 40 plus years of engineering consulting I worked with and for most of the conservation authorities in Ontario. They all have local matters and concerns that need to be addressed and managed. However those local matters are not necessarily unique or are they difficult to manage. Lire davantage

As someone who has worked in the Science and Monitoring departments of 4 different conservation authorities in southern Ontario, I would like to provide some input on the proposed consolidation from the science and monitoring perspective. Lire davantage

Ontario is home to many of the best nature landmarks in all of North America. The impact this proposition would have can not be understated. Beyond the obvious of worse maintained trails and lookouts, getting rid of invasive species control can cause significant issues in the long run. Lire davantage

Bigger is NOT better. We have seen that in so many instances - from corporations (with little competition) to health care to education to governments with a majority rule and no pushback from concerned politicians or residents. Lire davantage

This proposal makes very little sense in terms of the programs and services each Conservation Authority offers. This change will not make permitting more efficient, if anything it will increase cost and time. Lire davantage

I disagree with the centralization and reduction of the conservation authorities, as well as the narrowing of their mandate. They have been one of the most effective tools in flood protection and source water protection because of their watershed-based jurisdictional area. Lire davantage

I do not agree with this proposal and I do not think consolidating the conservation authorities would have enough positives to outweigh the real and significant consequences. Lire davantage

I believe that the amalgamation of the CA's will result in a deterioration of local environments as the extraordinary size would limit the ability to effectively understand and respond to local needs. Lire davantage

Please do not eliminate individual Conservation Authorities by lumping areas together. Each area is important to manage our environment and each is distinct. Lire davantage

Thank you for inviting commentary. I think the transition from the current structure to a much fewer number of conservation authorities is too simple a solution.. Lire davantage
