Ontario’s proposed conservation authority consolidation faces local opposition over transparency and impacts on funding and control.
Members of the Long Point Region Conservation Authority are opposing Ontario’s plan to consolidate 36 conservation authorities into seven regional groups, citing lack of transparency, insufficient evidence, and unclear impacts on local control, funding, and protected lands.
The LPRCA, serving parts of five counties and managing significant natural assets including the Lee Brown Marsh and Backus Mill, fears its $4 million reserves and donor-funded lands could be redirected under a larger regional body.
Officials urge the Ministry of Environment to delay the process and engage in more collaborative, locally informed consultations before proceeding.
