This proposal concerns me for the following reasons.
-Dilution of the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan: A mega-regional authority responsible for multiple Great Lakes watersheds is far less able to maintain the place-based focus the LSPP requires.

Thank you for acknowledging that conservation authorities need an overhaul. They are terribly ineffective and heavy handed due to their “philosophies”.

I am not in favour of these changes. Centralizing authority seems to be a theme of our current Provincial government. The base assumption seems to be that monetary savings will automatically follow. Such dogma is a sign of intellectual laziness.

Hello, I do not agree with the proposed amalgamation. For the reasons outlined in the article below, I do not approve of this change. The coverage area is just too large. If an amalgamation needs to occur, what about cutting the number in half to 18 authorities?

As a frequent user of regional conservation authority run parks (including seasonal trailer site and membership holder) this plan seems poorly thought out. The ability to manage the regional needs and to provide sound decision making for the local environment will be lost with this proposal.

The Conservation Authorities are a great success story for effective and efficient protection of the environment, with the participation of municipal governments.

Again, you see the Ford government taking control and the premiere, feeding the pockets of his friends.
This is another strike against nature! It will end up with government appointees serving the government’s purpose.or agenda.

I do not think you should consolidate conservation authorities. Conservation authorities were created in the wake of a major disaster (Hurricane Hazel, which killed a number of people!) and are critical in preventing another major disaster.

Amalgamating all the Conservation organizations will be a terrible mistake. The areas covered have significant differences that local authorities can better address. We are in an area that our Local Trails organization calls - Gems of Nature. It includes marshland, beaches and oak savannah.

Ontario is proposing changes to improve the conservation authority (CA) system to free up resources for front-line service delivery to help protect communities and better align the work of CAs with provincial priorities.

It is a disastrous mistake to include the Lakehead region conservation authority in the larger conservation authority that is proposed for the Huron superior region.

The merger of LRCA with the one in Southern Ontario is nonsensical.
LRCA needs to keep its decision making and programming locally for protection of our waterways.
I support an independent LRCA even if it would cost me more tax dollars

Stop spending money on illegible license plates, and massive school zone signs, and keep our conservation authority areas at manageable sizes (which should be smaller than Belize).
This consolidation is inefficient, ridiculously reckless, and unsustainable.

Contrary to the tag line we received, the proposed amalgamation would remove decision-making power from local experts, creating a disconnect between decision-makers and the communities they serve.

As a land owner and someone who cares for the environment. Someone who is aware of the impact to communities through this centralization, I am against the change of boundaries proposal.

No Ontarian should be at all shocked by Doug Ford's overhaul of the elimination of our province's Conservation Authorities. He has been militantly hostile toward environmental concerns since taking office, doing everything in his power to undermine conservation stewardship since 2018.
