In 1985, not only wereprovincial grants to conservation authori£ies. less than those allocated in 1980, but with inflationaryef-. fects taken into account, the amount of "real grant dollars" available to authorities were about35 per cent less than that provided in 1980., Until such time as the province reverses' the present funding direction and 'makes Suitable: allowances for ;inflation,: the backlog of priority projects will continue to grow,, Mr. Judge .said, He said. his remarkswere taken from a •' recent • brief presented to Ontario Natural Resources' Minister Vince Kerrio by the :Association of Conservation Authorities of Ontario. That brief emphasizes the pressing need changeto the existing conservation authorities program structure, he added. Locally, MVCA is finding that projects - fully supported by the member municipalities - are unable teproceed within .a reasonable time frame as a result of the Jack of funding, in addition to a growing list :of other necessary projects across the ;province.

Authorities must also continue to develop the necessary support for these programs, from their provincial . and municipal partners. "It is only through this action that we will continue to provide the effective and economical delivery of resource manage- ment programs," he -said. Mr: Judge stressed the importance for MVCA to continue to undertake' new pro- jects through the municipalities in order tb maintain or increase the current level of funding, about $2.5 million in 1986. The authority was not without its share of disappointments in the past year, he said. "The pro -active support we have come to appreciate from the MNR has been somewhat lacking on the Wingham Howson Dam project," he said. "Technical details notwithstanding, this is a prime example of the frustration that can develop within the _ priorities system (for projects). However, he indicated that Howson Dam w • issue should be resolved this year.
