• Why dismantle a governance model that has demonstrated effectiveness; one grounded in local expertise, accountability, and watershed-specific solutions?
• This amalgamation lumps together over 80 municipalities with vastly different economic realities and watershed conditions.

As a resident of Sault Ste. Marie, I believe our beautiful conservation areas need to be governed by local oversight especially our world class cross- country ski trails .

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.

This is not a positive change and will only put the protection on our Wetlands and protected areas in the hands of large government offices or developers. The smaller organizations such as GRCA act in the best interest of nature and personal safety. Water management and land protection is key.

I urge the province to reconsider merging CA’s due to their build more faster mandate. Merging CA’s will degrade a system where in each CA intimately knows its watershed and has reasonable response times and educational programs. How can these things even reasonably continue if things are merged.
