Rolling up our local Dundas/Hamilton conservation area into a regional conservation authority would water down the protection it gets. Dundas has its own wildlife, ecosystem and challenges that need local knowledge and hands-on care. Read more

Our local conservation area shouldn’t be swallowed up by a larger one. Local management means faster action, stronger accountability, and better protection for the wildlife that depends on it. Making it bigger doesn’t make it better — it just makes the care less personal and less effective.

I am concerned about the proposed merger of Ontario’s 36 conservation authorities into 7 regional authorities. While improving efficiency and consistency is important, I believe this approach risks losing local watershed expertise, community input, and effective environmental stewardship. Read more

The ever-expanding list of permits, approvals, studies, and surveys-many of them duplicating municipal or provincial processes-suggests that the Authority's regulatory reach has grown beyond its original mandate. Ontario is the only province with a Conservation Authority. We DO NOT need them.
