Ontario’s plan to merge 36 conservation authorities into seven regions sparks local concern over lost control and input on watershed management.
Ontario’s proposed consolidation of 36 conservation authorities into seven regional bodies under a new Ontario Provincial Conservation Authority has raised concerns among GRCA board members, who warn it threatens local control and input on watershed management, flood protection, and infrastructure decisions.
While the province says the change will streamline permitting and improve efficiency, GRCA leaders stress the need to preserve local engagement and watershed-specific programming.
An ad hoc committee has been formed to review the proposal, and officials are advocating for the Grand River watershed to remain a key regional focus, though the province appears determined to move forward.
