This is a disastrous idea.
Conservation Authorities should be left to local control of persons who understand local conditions and not to distant bureaucrats answering to the Provincial government .

Unequivocally NO! We Ontarians can't trust the Ford government: Seems he wants environmental controls reduced. and protected lands stolen for his developer friends.
This speed camera crap is to distract citizens from his real agenda

Ontario’s unique network of conservation authorities was created nearly 80 years ago, by a Progressive Conservative government in the wake of the devastating Hurricane Hazel.

Hello, I strongly disagree with this proposal, and think our conservation authorities deserve more, not less provincial funding in order to operate more efficiently.

Hello, I disagree with this proposal.
Centralized provincial governance over local municipal expertise seems like too much government overreach.
Instead the province should increase funding so the local authorities can work to increase their efficiencies..

This is a terrible idea. Leave the conservation authority alone. Builders, developers, lenders, realtors, and the entire, but singular, industry that benefits will survive. Nature and pre-existing basements won't.

I'm very concerned about the lack of initiative shown by the provincial government towards Ontario's nature. This proposal sounds like a cut, and will take the province in the wrong direction. We need more robust conservation. Please fund it adequately.
Merging the LRCA with Southern Ontario authorities makes very little sense when it comes to protecting the watershed in the Thunder Bay Area.

As someone who had first had experience working at the Essex Region Conservation Authority and saw the breadth of local knowledge available by my colleagues, I vehemently disagree with the proposal to amalgamate conservation authorities across the province into 7 new entities.

I am very concerned about the potential negative effects of the extreme amalgamation of conservation authorities (from 36 local conservation agencies down to 7) that the Ontario government is proposing.

This is an anti environment move. Premier Ford has gone back on previous promises to not touch the GreenBelt. Why trust him in this?
Ford’s government has shown itself to be more focused on building ( unnecessary) highways than protecting us from flooding and other effects of the climate crisis.

I strongly oppose the proposed consolidation of Ontario’s 36 Conservation Authorities (CAs) into seven regional bodies, as outlined in the recent proposal posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario.

I’m strongly opposed to the proposal to force amalgamation of the Lakehead Regional Conservation Authority with several CAs south and east of Lake Huron/Georgian Bay.

I think consolidating the Conservancy areas is a great idea. Most of the boards are on big power trips and stop development. I just hope that the front line employees don't lose their jobs. That would be too bad. But the boards of directors need to be taken down a peg or two or many more.

I think the consolidation of Conservation Authorities (CA) into seven would be a complete disaster for the natural health of Ontario. The natural environment is complex and so different in each of the 36 CA presently.
