I am strongly opposed to shrinking 36 Conservation Authorities to 7. This means we would lose local expertise, and hands-on, daily monitoring to protect our widely varied watersheds, our drinking water, and our flood protections.

Keep Conservation Local – Local conservation staff and offices understand the water, land, people, and challenges of the Upper Thames River watershed in ways centralized decision-makers cannot.

Since you're updating you have the Niagara River listed under the Eastern Lake Ontario Regional CA - obviously incorrect.
Within the description for the Eastern Lake Ontario Regional CA you note the 'Cataraqui system', yet the Cataraqui Region CA is mapped in with the St. Lawrence Regional CA.

The Conservation Authorities Act was a wise and far-seeing measure, sound in its analysis of the need, and solid in its structure to address that need.

There are many different environments within southern Ontario alone and different things impact them, and I worry that consolidating into only 7 regions will make it so that local knowledge is lost and action will be too slow when things need to be done.
How can anyone who can read a map include the Lakehead Conservation Authority with one near Lake Huron. This is another sample of southern Ontario bureaucrats trying to change things they know nothing about. Maybe YOU should consult with a local MPP.

The amalgamation of the 36 into 7 would be a serious mistake. The geography, watershed challenges and technical gaps cannot be effectively addressed by such expansive consolidations. Some limited amalgamations ( for a few small under funded and under staffed CAs) might make sense.
