I strongly oppose the proposed consolidation of Conservation Authorities. The current boundaries were established in response to Hurricane Hazel which caused widespread inundation of low lying lands in most of southern Ontario.

These proposed changes are for the expansion of development within the current Conversation areas not providing the same protectin for the watershed areas as originally envisioned. I live beside the Salmon River. I will be negatively affected by these changes
This is a foolish idea. Local knowledge and experience need to be central to decision-making. Consolidating such a huge area means that local concerns will never be heard and local knowledge will be ignored.

Although the proposal retains watershed boundaries, consolidating multiple watersheds into larger administrative authorities introduces a scale mismatch between governance structures and the spatial scales at which hydrologic, geomorphic, and land–water interaction processes operate.

This proposed consolidation will only hinder the areas ,not improve them.The municipalities have more knowledge in knowing what is needed than waiting for some ok from somewhere so far away that doesn’t have a clue of what is needed or ever seen the area .Leave what is working alone and go after mor

This is a horrendously bad idea. Watershed management is, by definition best done on an individual watershed basis. Local watersheds need to be governed by local municipalities to address unique local conditions and communities.
