I strongly oppose this change. As a gardener who works with native plants, the local knowledge of conservation authorities is very important. This drastic reduction is clearly the first step in getting rid of conservation authorities when we most need them!

I strongly oppose the changes to Conservation Authorities. I’m concerned about lack of protection for water, destruction of forests, wetlands and other green spaces. I want conservation areas - big and small to walk my dog and have picnics with my children.

This is incredibly ill advised in my opinion. The conservation authorities need to be small and agile enough to protect the lands that they steward.

I am writing to strongly oppose the proposal to consolidate Ontario’s 36 Conservation Authorities into 7 regional bodies (ERO 025-1257). This move will erode the local expertise essential for effective flood management and environmental protection.

I, a resident of O'Connor Township, 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”.

Please keep the Lakehead Conservation Authority in Thunder Bay for the surrounding area. They know the area, they know what this area needs, and if we become part of anything in Southern Ontario, Northwestern Ontario will be ignored. Again.

Hello. I have lived in Essex County my entire life. I have been reading about the government's recent idea to consolidate the conservation authorities in Ontario. I don't think this is a good idea.

As a long time resident of the area I would like to object in the strongest terms the proposed consolidating of 36 conservation authorities into 7 larger regional authorities; specifically the Lake Erie Regional Conservation Authority.

As a resident of Thunder Bay for over 70 years, I strongly disagree with the plan to merge LRCA with the Huron-Superior Conservation Area. The LRCA does an excellent job dealing with the particular conditions in our area.

Keeping green spaces and conservation areas local is the best practice in my experience. It allows a stronger connection of the staff and local community.

This attempt to kneecap the important conservation efforts of local authorities is just another attack on our environment by this government. Local oversight is always more effective. Of course the authors of this effort know that. This backward step needs to be stopped in its tracks.

Bigger is not always better. I feel we will be get lost in the middle. I live right in the middle of a large conservation area here and would not want to see people from afar making blanket decisions for our local area. We should keep it local.
I am fundamentally opposed to the amalgamation of Ontario’s 36 conservation authorities into seven regional conservation authorities with direct oversight by the provincial minister.
