This idea makes no sense.
It will do nothing but harm the regions that the conservation authorities are there to protect.
Taking care of the different areas really requires specialized knowledge, connections, and actions. The needs across Ontario are not uniform.

1. The consolidation of conservation authorities (CAS) is unwise since local knowledge of the local environmental needs must be maintained.
2. If it is to go ahead it must ensure that local input from environmental experts already employed with a CA is retained.

Please find attached the document also submitted to the Registry by BCAC Niagara. I fully endorse the views in the submission, and please consider this as containing my comments on the proposal to reduce the number of conservation authorities in Ontario.

The notion of amalgamation of our Conservation Authorities is foolish, greedy, and will, no doubt, result in the destruction of our environment.

I wholeheartedly disagree with this motion, especially for my hometown in Niagara. The Niagara Conservation Authority has been operating with locals needs in mind since its inception, and it’s important to keep these decisions local.

I am very concerned and much opposed to the proposal to consolidate ON Conservation Authorities. The region in which I live has experienced significant growth and at the same time serious drought.

This proposal will do nothing to improve oversight of watershed in Niagara. Other than remove control and thebability to.participate in decision making, I cannot see what benefit this proposal has for the citizens who reside in the effected areas. Bad for citizens, amd bad for the environment!
I am against this. We need better oversight on conservation not less. Amalgamation is going to decrease the voices needed to be heard to protect our land and endangered species.
Dear Minister McCarthy,
On behalf of Middlesex County Council, I am writing to provide comments on ERO Posting No. 025-1257 regarding the proposed boundaries for the regional consolidation of Ontario’s conservation authorities.

I strongly oppose the proposed mergers of conservation authorities. The existence of many separate conservation authorities allows the specialization that is so crucial to good conservation of the manifold habitats that dot Ontario.

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 don’t feel that bigger is necessarily better. Too often the government proposes amalgamation to deliver results more efficiently and at lower cost, only to produce an unwieldy bureaucracy that takes forever to get things done, and loses sight of local concerns.

The reasons for this change should be made public. Otherwise why change it? There may be very valid reasons, but people like myself are unaware. This leads to suspicion, and anger. The taxpayers of this province deserve to treated with respect.
