I support the Hamilton Conservation Authority’s submission to the ERO. I’m deeply concerned about the loss of local decision-making and do not support the proposed consolidation of Ontario’s conservation authorities.

There is no information as to what the new organization would look like or how they would offer memberships. Read more

1. The Town of Mono does not support consolidation as proposed. The reasons for not supporting it are in accord with the ERO submissions made by Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) and the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA). Read more

I would like to submit my comment opposing the proposed changes to the Conservation Authorities in Ontario. The seven regional Conservation Authorities would not provide the kind of local focus that watersheds, municipalities, and diverse populations need. Read more
