It is upsetting to read that our 36 Conservation Authorities will be reduced to 6. Each authority is important as each area is unique. The authorities have already faced staff reductions and budget cuts. Enough is enough.

The entire purpose of conservation authorities is to have detailed local knowledge. This plan destroys that. Leave our environmental protections alone.
I do not support the proposed boundaries for regional conservation consolidation. In this proposed plan I see the scaling back of environmental regulations, a theme of the Ford government.

As a resident of Northern Ontario I am absolutely not in favour of this change. As it is it is too hard to receive any information or help. We need more oversight, not less. We have lost a federal region and am feeling our region is neglected in favour of southern Ontario.

I an writing this comment in support or ERCA, our local conservation authority. As a developer/builder and personal nature lover, I love the value that ERCA brings to our our area.

conservation authorities rely on local community engagement to ensure and protect the environment and nearby communities from environmental crisis, including but not limited to flooding, groundwater damage, contamination, and more.

This is obviously an effort to bring the management of Authorities under total government control in order to clear the way for construction on public land.

The proposed consolidation of Ontario’s 36 conservation authorities into seven large regional bodies, along with the creation of a centralized provincial agency, raises serious concerns about efficiency, responsiveness, and local effectiveness.

Please do not do this. Our Conservation Authorities have been doing great work maintaining our public lands, fostering meaningful relationships with those that border conservation areas, and a host of things that we need them to continue doing.

Regional conservation authorities need to remain the same. There are significant variations in geology, topography, vegetation and conservation concerns throughout southern Ontario. To merge conservation authorities, the unique needs of each unique region will not be met adequately.

It is not a good idea to consolidate the 36 conservation authorities to just seven. This will remove representatives who have local knowledge of their watershed and have rapport within their communities. Without the local knowledge, developmental decisions will not be tailored to each area.

The amalgamation of the province’s conservation authorities is another effort by the province to degrade the effectiveness of environmental regulations.

The merging of conservation areas will not only endanger wild life and our natural spaces but people as well. The fast tracking of building inaccessible homes on land that is deemed dangerous for various reasons such as flood plains is irresponsible on the governments part.

At a time when we're seeing more and more flooding, more unpredictable weather, and increasing insurance premiums I'm shocked that the government would consider consolidating and effectively wiping out decades of local expertise on natural hazards.
