I do not believe that amalgamating conservation authorities will improve the services they provide. The territory each would cover is too large to properly manage local issues in a timely and efficient manner and will take away input from communities that fund them. Read more

I oppose the proposed boundaries for the regional consolidation of Ontario’s Conservation Authorities. The proposed changes will erode local services, impose significant costs on taxpayers, and cause delays for landowners, builder and developers. Read more

The proposal to consolidate Ontario’s 36 conservation authorities into 7 regional authorities is hasty and extremely ill-conceived. The new consolidated regional authorities will be much too large to remain responsive and effective. Read more

Bill 68 will weaken local decision-making, funding, and hands-on protection of our watersheds. Right now, NPCA would be folded into a huge Western Lake Ontario authority instead of staying focused on our local needs. Read more
