安大略计划将36个保护当局合并为七个地区,引起当地对流域管理失去控制和投入的关切。 Ontario’s plan to merge 36 conservation authorities into seven regions sparks local concern over lost control and input on watershed management.

安大略省提议将36个保护当局合并为七个区域机构,由新的安大略省省保护局领导,这引起了GRCA董事会成员的关切,他们警告说,这威胁到地方控制和对流域管理、洪水保护和基础设施决策的投入。 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. 虽然该省表示,这一变化将简化许可和提高效率,但GRCA领导人强调需要保持当地参与和水域特定计划. 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. 已经成立了一个特设委员会来审查这项提议,官员们正在主张大河流域继续成为主要的区域重点,尽管该省似乎决心向前迈进。 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.
