The model being proposed is short sighted and has been tried with the regional government model. Several of these have been scraped and returned to the original model. Let’s not repeat history and please learn from the past. Leave the conservation authorities alone.

Hello,
I agree with Hamilton Conservation Authority’s submission to the ERO. I am concerned about losing local decision-making and I support keeping conservation decisions rooted in our community.
Why I am Not Supporting the Proposed Merger:

It is very disappointing to see the provincial government's plan to consolidate Ontario's Conservation Authorities into Regional Conservation Authorities. While it is said that "nothing will change," much will be lost if this plan goes through.

Opposition to Proposed Boundaries for Regional Consolidation of Conservation Authorities
The proposed consolidation of Ontario’s conservation authorities into larger regional entities raises significant concerns regarding ecological integrity, local governance, and program effectiveness.

I am writing to express my concern and disagreement with the Province of Ontario’s proposal to create a new Ontario Provincial Conservation Agency and to merge the province’s 36 conservation authorities into seven large regional authorities.

We have serious concerns about the government’s proposal to merge Ontario’s 36 conservation authorities into just 7 larger bodies. We believe it will undermine local watershed management, weaken flood protection, and reduce accountability to communities.

I strongly oppose the proposal to consolidate Ontario’s 36 Conservation Authorities into 7 regions. Centralization undermines the core strength of the CA model: local watershed management.

I believe that Ontario conservation areas should be receiving as much funding and support as possible. We should not be diminishing this by ending the conservation authorities.

Proposed Boundaries for the Regional Consolidation of Ontario’s Conservation Authorities

I am against the consolidation of Ontario’s conservation authorities. We must keep conservation local, with local staff who understand the water, land and challenges. I reside in the proposed Lake Erie Regional Conservation Authority, which is much too large to remain responsive and effective.

I believe this will only create more hurdles for anything to be done. The current system works fine. Why create upheaval, more paperwork and waste, when it is not needed. There's so much more needs this province has, please give those, this attention.
Locally based decision-making and accountability is important for Conservation! The reason for this amalgamation has not been justified. The HCA is one of the Hamilton City Depts with a positive track record of responsiveness and success.

Locally based decision-making and accountability is important for conservation. Hamilton and surrounding areas has a proven chance team which has a proven track record for our area. This team lives in and near the areas they protect. And are very passionate of their jobs.

Conservation authorities were founded to manage watersheds. By their very nature they require localized management and involvement. Lumping them into 7 large conservation authorities removes the local management and erodes local engagement.

I personally oppose the amalgamation. Dundas needs local oversight of its trails and conservation areas. We have so many visitors that are coming in from Toronto on the surrounding areas before long our natural resources will be overridden by tourism.
I agree with HCA’s submission to the ERO. I am concerned about losing local decision-making and I support keeping conservation decisions rooted in our community.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to ERO 025-1257, which proposes new boundaries for the regional consolidation of Ontario’s Conservation Authorities.

As community member who makes regular use of many of the beautiful areas under the management of the Hamilton Conservation Authority, I have grave concerns about the proposed amalgamation of multiple conservation authorities.
