The conservation areas in our Lanark County area are used by residents of all ages and provide educational opportunities for children. How can kids learn how to protect our future environment? Some things have to be hands-on, a zoom lesson would not work.

I urge you to clarify the regulations to ensure that Conservation Authorities cannot regulate private property without the consent of the landowner.

The proposed changes to the regulations will not help the conservation areas or Ontario residents. If amenities aren't maintained fewer people will be able to use the areas and connect with nature.

I am opposed to any decreases in funding to the Ontario Conservation Authorities. If anything, we should be increasing the funding to encourage an interest in our natural spaces and encourage use by the public.

I am wholly against this proposal. Users have a right to use these lands for recreation without being worried about not being able to afford it.
Parking lots are required to keep these trails safe, clean, and regulated.

This is such unfortunate timing! Over the past year, due to the Covid restrictions, Ontario residents are using outdoor settings in unprecedented numbers.

The conservation Authorities have been given a huge role to play in fisheries regulations, flood plain zoning etc. ,environment, and up holding many other laws and acts. But they are not given any money or power to enforce all this.

Conservation areas with their trails, washrooms and outdoor recreational amenities support our well being and this should be left as is. Do not change this!
These proposed regulatory changes undermine conservation areas at a time when covid has demonstrated the importance of CAs for mental health and education and so much more. Restricting mandate in such a way as to lose parking (therefore access for people) and additional amenities such as washroom.

I seriously hope that this decision is scrapped. Our local conservation authority (MVCA) is such a feather in our municipalities cap. The services they provide to our community through education and conservation area amenities are vital to our quality of life.

Thank you for making the changes. It is time that the Conservation Authorities limit their mandate so they do what was always intended. They don’t need to be managing parks, that was never why they were created.
To whom it may concern,
I’m shocked and disappointed about what the Province has already done to the Conservation Authorities with regards to approving Bill 229 and Schedule 6. It appears to me that the Province has totally emasculated these critically important organizations.

I believe that Conservation Authorities should be provided with more funding. They are critically important areas not only for protection of water and natural green spaces but for the countless benefits that they provide the public.

Removing funding from non-core services will be detrimental to the people of our province. Conservation authorities are in much need of this support to ensure that people who visit conservation areas have the best possible experience.

Conservation authorities are vital in our communities. While not necessarily monetarily profitable, their value lies in the services they provide to both ecosystems and the communities that use these spaces recreationally.
