I think combining the Conservation Authorities is a good idea. There are too many boards and people that have power complexes on them. I really don't want to see the employees loose their jobs though.

I oppose the proposed consolidation of Ontario conservation authorities. This would create a top heavy management of conservation, local voices will be lost or forgotten. Conservation is powerful yet delicate, don't mess this up.
Hi there,
I'm 29 year old male, a resident of Dundas, Ontario, and have been for my whole life.
I speak with confidence in saying that people in my town take serious pride in the nature that's around us. Hamilton in particular is renowned for the quality and accessibility of it's trails.

This proposal threatens our natural spaces in Ontario. Localized conservation areas should continue to be under local authority, by people who live in and care about the area and have best and have best interests in mind. Of all things to target, this seems silly.

We, the people of Dundas, reject the amalgamation of our conservation land. "Freeing up resources" means fewer hands and materials taking care of the land. With the climate already unstable due directly to human action, we need to be taking care of our land, not neglecting it.

I strongly agree with the Hamilton Conservation Authority’s submission to the ERO. I am very concerned about losing local decision-making and I support keeping conservation decisions rooted in our community.

I am a resident of Dundas Ontario and I am vehemently opposed to the amalgamation of conservation authorities. Regional supervision does not acknowledge the local concerns that should be at the forefront of decisions made on nature and our environment.

This is a poor idea
Cutting the conservation areas will unfortunately be abused by many wishing to take advantage of the lack of supervision.
We must protect and monitor our conservation.

Bigger isn't always better. Conservation Authorities have been doing a great job for many years making local development decisions to protect people, property and the environment.

Amalgamating conservation authorities will be detrimental to local conservation for us and especially for our future generations. It will remove location specific decision-making and the best interests of each individual watershed will not be looked after effectively.

This proposal will affect rural natural communities in a very negative way. Local representation in the conservation authority means that member municipalities can use local knowledge and expertise to make decisions regarding the management of their own watershed's natural resources.

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

This proposal will result in harmful effects to the areas within the subject boundaries. By removing local Conservation Authorities, the Ford government is sidelining workers who have context specific knowledge of the particular areas and ecosystems being managed.
