flag Eastern Ontario municipalities oppose Bill 68's plan to merge 36 conservation authorities into seven, fearing loss of local control and slower services.

flag Ontario municipalities in Eastern Ontario are pushing back against Bill 68, a provincial proposal to consolidate 36 conservation authorities into seven regional bodies, including a new St. Lawrence Regional Conservation Authority. flag Local officials, including those from Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry, warn the move could reduce local control, slow permitting, raise costs, and weaken community engagement. flag They argue current local authorities, built by municipalities for local needs, deliver faster, more cost-effective services and should remain independent. flag Officials are urging the province to include municipalities in any restructuring and preserve locally governed conservation efforts.
