Changes proposed by the province would see the Grand River Conservation Authority rolled into a larger organization, part of the Ford government’s plan to consolidate 36 agencies into nine regional units.

When the Conservation Authorities Act (CAA) was announced last fall, the province was looking at compacting the agencies into just seven new ones.

Environment Ministry spokesperson Alexandru Cioban said the move would streamline the process.
