This is a horrible idea, that will hurt the environment, and ultimately cost the tax payer more in the long run. What is with Doug Ford destroying everything in Ontario? He's such a misinformed bully. Read more

Too much government regulation and by laws which negatively impact small farm businesses and property owners. There should be some general government guidelines to protect the environment, but there are way too much government oversight. Read more

I oppose the proposal to amalgamate conservation authorities. The Hamilton conservation authority is an effective local conservation authority with strong connections to the local community and expertise in the local environment. Read more

I oppose the proposed merger of conservation authorities. The Province has not provided evidence that a merger is necessary or that existing conservation authorities are failing. Issues such as inefficiencies or inconsistent service could be addressed without restructuring the entire system. Read more

To whom it may concern, I am a regular user of Upper Thames River Conservation Authority lands, and I use these areas primarily for biking on conservation trails. I am strongly opposed to the proposal to fold UTRCA into an oversized Lake Erie Regional Conservation Authority. Read more

I am very concerned with the province's plan to amalgamate Conservation Authorities, especially in view of the lack of the authorities' involvement with this change. The Conservation Authorities are the experts in their fields. Read more
