Please do NOT proceed with this consolidation. The conservation authorities are fine the way they are. If anything, they can work on streamlining their jurisdictions amongst themselves. We need MORE authorities and less government interference.

Local oversight by local conservation authority infinitely more desirable than out-of-district oversight. . Expanding boundaries which negate/ignore local input detrimental. I disagree with consolidation.

Reduce the Size of the Proposed Region – The proposed Lake Erie Regional Conservation Authority — covering 8 conservation authorities and 81 municipalities — is much too large to remain responsive and effective. Read more

I am vehemently opposed to this. There are too many differences in the environmental areas being amalgamated. Carolinian forests, two very different great lakes, inland regions vs coastal. Small CAs allow for expertise and specialization. Read more

Large administrative boundaries could represent an issue when taking about technical decision making, also it could impact the time response frame regarding the enforcement of the environmental law, planning process, and community programs.

We are a massive country. Ontario is a massive province. I think the amalgamation of conservation authorities is misguided. My fear is it eliminates environmental checks and balances that come with local knowledge and awareness. It put our most valuable resources, soil and water at risk. Read more

I have concerns with Bill 68. Please consider the wildlife and conservation areas' expertise being affected by this merge. Some species may go extinct and this bill will block the wisdom for rural landowners and farmers. Please reconsider.

We are facing an ecological crisis. This is undeniable. We need more people working on this, not fewer. We need more conservation authorities, not fewer. This consolidation idea is absurd on its face.

I am commenting on the Conservation Authority Amalgamation as proposed in ERO 025-1257. I do not agree with the proposal to consolidate Ontario’s 36 Conservation Authorities (CA, CAs) into 7 regional ones under the proposed Ontario Provincial Conservation Agency (OPCA). Read more

With increased wild weather and climate change impacting our communities, now is the time to enhance conservation measures rather than consolidate or weaken conservation. Greenspace, waterways, wetlands and forests are increasingly important on the front lines of climate change. Read more

Each of the current Conservation authorities have expertise and experience in their own local service areas. To expect that the public would have the same level of service and expertise to continue under some sort of “consolidation “ plan would be highly unlikely. Read more

I am writing this comment to provide my feedback as an Ontario-born naturalist in regards to the incredibly short-sighted and misguided proposal to consolidate our 36 Conservation Areas (CAs) across the province. Read more

The existing Conservation Authority (CA) system—comprised of 36 distinct Conservation Authorities operating collaboratively through Conservation Ontario—is a proven, effective, and internationally respected model of watershed-based environmental management. Read more
