Ontarians against Ford's destruction of conservation in Ontario
Demand that the Ontario government ends its plan to amalgamate our 36 Conservation authorities into 6 mega regions. NOW!
Why is this important?
The nunicipal levies and donors in each community ( that’s US, folks!) provide 82% of the money that our 36 Conservation Authorities need - and use - to protect the natural environment in each of their regions

Our 36 regional conservation authorities have been doing an efficient, effective, excellent job of looking after our province’s natural environment needs for decades.
The Ontario Government provides a measly 8% of the annual funding for those 36 conservation authorities.
It has absolutely NO RIGHT to interfere with the work of our existing conservation authorities. They are each expert in the needs and demands of their own specific territory as a result of their ongoing studies and testing programs and their continuous efforts to deal with their region’s needs. The result is immediate action for the challenging problems that environmental chance is causing.

Ontario wants to clump the 36 C.A.s into 7 mega regions. This will cause an enormous bureaucratic chaotic bungle that with disastrous environmental damage to the areas where we all live. The resulting delays will cause ballooning increase of the costs to solve the serious problems that result. And guess who will end up paying for these inflated costs. Yes – US, the TAXPAYERS.
Unnecessary costs gobbling up money that should be directed towards the desperate needs of our health, education and infrastructure systems
