There is serious concern about creating a mega Conservation Authority when local community and municipalities needs are so diverse. This is a terrible idea and will negatively impact the conservation and management of local watersheds.

It is absolutely essential for to keep services local. The large an organization is the less effective it becomes. Northern Western Ontario has unique environmental challenges that need local support systems.
Amalgamating conservation boards across Ontario will be harmful to municipalities that are seeing degradation of lakes and rivers as well as the effects of increased congestion and loss of both agricultural and conservation lands.

As a resident of Thunder Bay, I 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”.

I am 100% AGAINST THIS proposal. Local boots on the ground are what is crucial for conservation, not an amalgamation of far flung people who don’t have a handle on what is required. For the sake of nature and future generations, I implore you not to do this.

When I heard about the Ontario Conservative government's plan to amalgamate Ontario's 36 conservation authorities into seven regional authorities, I laughed out loud.

The Kettle Creek Conservation Authority, is vital to the environment of our LOCAL community.Their work is shaped by the needs of our watershed community - our priorities, our landscapes, our local environment.

Leave our conservation authorities as they are. Enough selling off Ontario to the highest bidder. Our environment must be protected from greedy developers. More and more, your actions are not supported by the people of Ontario. We will remember on election day.
As a long-time resident of Thunder Bay, ON I strongly oppose the Province’s proposed amalgamation of the Lakehead Region Conservation Authority (LRCA) with six other Southern Ontario Conservation Authorities.

The Lakehead Conservation Authority should be left as a separate conservation area due to its uniqueness and location compared to the other areas.

I am a citizen of Thunder Bay and volunteer with the Lakehead Region Conservation Authority. I am deeply concerned about the proposal to merge our beloved, accountable and incredibly effective LRCA with the Huron - Superior Regional CA. Your map says it all.

I am opposed to the proposed changes! Our natural.spaces are part of what makes Ontario beautiful. Local conservation authorities are essential to preserving the integrity of these spaces.
Consolidating Conservation Authorities is a destructive and corrupt plan. Nobody benefits from this - it will be much more difficult for Authorities to share resources and much more difficult for them to address local issues. Everybody knows this only helps developers and only helps Doug Ford.

I am very concerned with the expansive area that will be made with consolidating the Conservation areas. I can't help but think this is adding another area of bureaucracy. Where would local people with concerns go to consult regarding issues?

I strongly believe that 36 conservation authorities should not be consolidated into 7 conservation authorities.
I work at Conservation Halton with 8 parks under our care. Each park is unique and has it's own needs, biodiversity and gifts to the public.

I feel that this government has been systematically dismantling environmental protections, including changes that have already occurred to the jurisdiction of Conservation Authorities. I strongly disagree with this direction.

Please respect local knowledge and leave the boundaries alone. It is unreasonable to centralize services that are needed for the safety of communities.

This is a highly valued service in Thunder Bay. Northwestern Ontario is not Barrie by any means and do not share any tributary water systems . The GTA has 2 offices in some communities. By all means reduce those but not ours to something a thousand miles away.
