Ontario's model that uses Conservation Authorities as watershed managers is the best in Canada.
This is a model that has been successfully used for over 70 years with great success.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the proposed changes to the Conservation Authorities Act. Council for the Township of Perth South is in agreement with the current government’s philosophies to make Ontario open for business.

Je ne peux pas soutenir la proposition car elle annonce que le ministère va rédiger un règlement mais elle ne fournit pas le règlement en question. Il s’agirait donc de soutenir une révision sans contenu de remplacement, ce qui n’est pas acceptable.

Dear Minister Yakabuski,
The Township of Russell has a strong history of close collaboration with South Nation Conservation (SNC) on shared priorities, which protect the environment and engage
communities while balancing people and nature.

Conservation Authorities are one of the only boots-on-the-ground agencies working directly with municipalities, residents, and stakeholders in a timely and meaningful way; with international recognition for their approach to integrated watershed management.

Our recent search for a rural property with acreage and hopefully a stream has made us aware of what appears to be overreach by conservation authorities related to 'watersheds'. I am pleased to see efforts are being made through this Bill to introduce oversight and regulation of these groups.

Conservation authorities are not just about flood management. They provide many other services to Ontarians. They have been established for 70 years and are fixtures of the community. Stop trying to pigeonhole them into strictly flood managers.

These proposed changes severely weaken the ability of Conservation Authorities to protect Ontarians as they have done for the past 70 years. You must not follow through with your proposed changes.
I believe that a Review Board that is not independent of the Authority that they are to govern, defeats the purpose of such a Board.
It is being proposed that the duty of conservation authority board members is to act in the best interest of the conservation authority.
