The Conservation Authorities are many because of the rivers in their areas. Local Conservation Authorities allow direct input into planning and education for their watershed. Fewer CA’s eliminates the opportunity to work with landowners in a purposeful and meaningful way. Read more

The proposed amalgamation is removes the opportunity for transparent discussion on how conservation authorities can be strengthened and modernized. Any reform must be transparent, evidence-based, and proportionate to the issues it seeks to address. Read more
