The amalgamation of the conservation authorities reduces their local and unique impact. By expanding the boundaries, local individuality of the conservation areas will be managed more broadly impacting species that thrive in specified niches.

This is totally wrong. Mr. Ford you must stop destroying the spaces so valuable to the environment and to the people of Ontario. Please leave our Conservative Authorities to continue doing the job they have done so impact-fully for the past 80 years.

Hi! I would just like to let you know that by consolidating of Ontario's Conservation Authority's (CA) you would be doing a HUGE disservice to everyone who lives in Ontario. The whole point of CAs is that they protect LOCAL watersheds!

I am a resident of the City of Thunder Bay and am OPPOSED to the Province’s proposed amalgamation of the Lakehead Region Conservation Authority (LRCA) with six other Southern Ontario Conservation Authorities to form the “Huron-Superior Regional Conservation Authority”.

The Lakehead Regional Conservation Authority SHOULD NOT be grouped in with Conservation Authorities in Southern Ontario. It should be left as a stand alone Conservation Authority to represent Northwestern Ontario.
It is almost impossible to have full representation when the CA covers such a large geographical area. This will likely result in the needs of rural communities being overruled by the needs of urban areas.

It is clear the the purpose of this policy is to allow Ford's government to get around the current laws getting in the way of paving the greenbelt. There is a reason why there are so many conservation authorities, and "duplicate" positions.

As a past summer student at a conservation authority I feel the consolidation of CAs into 7 regions would require restructuring that doesn’t make sense for the intended goal.

Having served on a conservation authority board for 16 years and volunteered as well for another 10, I know that it has done wonderful work helping prepare our landowners and visitors for Climate Change which is threatening all in the Great Lakes region.

In favor of amalgamation. Saves money and more efficient delivery of services. Get back to original purpose of conservation authorities - protect the environment and wetlands.
I think this is a bad idea and should not be passed. The current smaller boundaries and greater number of conservation authorities means that the land each authority protects is being conserved by locals who care about the area.

I oppose this. Watersheds are a deeply important part of how we keep our water clean, and keep ourselves safe. The consolidation of conservation authorities would prevent proper observation of different areas.
