Reducing the conservation authorities to 7 from the 36 that exist today is detrimental to the environment. We all know your real agenda is to make it easier to destroy critical ecosystems to keep your friends rich, even though you claim it is to make things “more efficient”. Read more

I am disappointed and extremely concerned about the proposed consolidation of CA’s. Firstly, it would be impossible to have fair representation of all municipalities and services such as permits and consultation would be come less efficient and burdensome for stakeholders. Read more

I fear that having 7 larger districts will fail to meet environmental standards and issues. The environment should be high priority. I am not convinced that the proposed change will be an improvement. Read more

As a wildlife biology student, I am alarmed by the proposal to consolidate Ontario’s conservation authorities. This plan ignores the ecological purpose of existing boundaries, which were designed around watersheds and decades of local expertise. Read more

I, strongly oppose the proposed boundaries for the regional consolidation of Ontario’s Conservation Authorities. The proposed changes will erode accountability and local services, impose significant costs on taxpayers, and cause delays for landowners, builder and developers. Read more

We need more focus and resources put into maintaining and working with our environment! Please do not group these boundaries with different types of habitats and needs. We need to do what we can now to benefit us and this land long term!
