Abstract
"The conservation authority movement in Ontario is world renowned; and professionals and parliamentarians from other provinces, the United States, the United Kingdom, and other parts of the world have come to study it. Unique in Canada until 1970, the program has proved so effective that it is now being emulated in two other provinces - Manitoba and Quebec. This history of the conservation authorities in Ontario demonstrates the reasons for the success of the movement."
