We do not need the Ford government taking our land with trails and the beauty of nature.
The Dundas Conservation Valley is quite capable of looking after this area. We do not need another amalgamation in this area.

I live in Belleville Ontario. I strongly oppose amalgomation of conservation areas. Our local conservation area staff( (Quinte Conservation) know our watershed intimately and can respond to local needs promptly. They live here and are sensitive to local needs and priorities.

Conservation authorities were created in response to flooding and erosion, based on the understanding that effective watershed management depends on local knowledge and leadership. Unique to Ontario, they play a critical role in supporting sustainable communities and protecting natural systems.

I agree with the Hamilton Conservation Authority's concerns on proposed amalgamation of authorities to form a total of seven for the province. The HCA are doing a good job and I am wary of the province making changes that could negatively affect our area.

The proposed conjoining of conservation areas in southern Ontario into a massive greater one, is a terrible idea. Every municipality has different needs, situations, and people.

This is a horrible idea that will have significant negative impacts for years to come. My local CRCA has spoken out against this and gone into details on the probably effects. I implore lawmakers to listen to local authorities and to reconsider for the good of the province and future generations.
Moving to only 7 authorities will reduce the capacity of their impact. Merging Lake Superior with Lake Heron is nonsensical. The environments and their challenges are completely different. When the claim is made to improve local knowledge yet the watersheds are 1500km that is a joke.

Being from a small town the idea of having our conversation authorities be any farther from the local areas they already serve seems like a recipe for poor understanding of local needs, and much worse service. There are areas where regionalization makes sense, but not in hyperlocal issues like this.
I don't think conservation authorities Should be overseen by another layer A bureaucracy. I am also Disturbed By the phrase in the That the conservation Authority Needs to be in line with the provinces Priorities. I believe this language is Not specific enough. Priorities could mean anything.

The following reasons are why the Ontario government should NOT be allowed to amalgamate all thirty-six of Ontario's Conservation Areas into just seven:
- The Province has not provided evidence showing why the merger is needed.

The merge local Conservation Authorities (CAs) into seven larger regional bodies and create a central Ontario is determental to local environments.

I do not think the amalgamation of the conservation authorities is a good idea.
These matters require local knowledge and expertise and are best kept regulated by the local authorities.
Please do not amalgamate the conservation authorities.

On behalf of our organization, Ontario Trails Council Inc., which supports and promotes a
high-quality network of motorized and non-motorized recreational trails throughout Ontario, we would
like to share our perspective on the proposed consolidation of regional conservation authorities.

In regards to the Huron Superior region, im not sure if you have access to a map, but these areas are very far apart. In fact they are not even adjacent. It is very bizarre that you would even consider joining them.

This will not help the government to reduce waste or spending. This will impede on communities abilities to help conservation within their own communities. This is the conservative government trying to take control of land and end wildlife protections.

Why are you merging all these conservation authorities together? Is it so you can have more control on what you want to develop on? How about no. I do not support this.
