One size does not fit all !!
Don’t mess it up by making it a city system. local control knows what is best for the area and is more efficient that a large area
It would be a waste of facilities and manpower to change.

No other jurisdiction in North America has a CA-like model, yet all other jurisdictions have been able to manage hazards and conserve land and ecosystems in a manner appropriate for that jurisdiction.

As a Natural Resources Management student, I support modernization of conservation system when it improves efficiency, but I am concerned that consolidation may reduce ecological effectiveness. Watersheds functions as natural ecological units and management must remain region specific.

The proposal appears to be a good step toward achieving better consistency, but it requires clearer plans to ensure that local voices are still heard. Providing more details on how governance and transparency will work would strengthen it.

I strongly advise against the consolidation of Ontario's conservation authorities. This proposal does not feel founded in good conservation or good planning.
