Maitland Conservation is voicing their concerns on the province’s move to consolidate Ontario’s 36 Conservation authorities into 9 regional entities.
This move would see Maitland Conservation become part of the Lake Huron Regional Conservation Authority.
The conservation authority says amalgamation is not likely to reduce costs, increase housing builds, improve the level of customer service in permitting, increase the safety of Ontarians from flood and erosion hazards.
Ed McGugan, Chair of Maitland Conservation says for the sake of the people of Ontario, do not amalgamate the Conservation Authorities.
