Support for Ontario’s Conservation Authorities

About The Submission:

We, the 112 undersigned organizations, call on the Government of Ontario to retain the current

watersheds where 95 percent of Ontarians reside. Their functions and responsibilities with
respect to land use planning and permitting, monitoring, stewardship and education must be
maintained, for the reasons outlined below.
