Regarding Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority. The various "Conservation Authorities" across southern Ontario were formed in the wake of Hurricane Hazel in 1954, during which 81 people died from flooding. The Authorities are responsible for removing or protecting residences within flood-prone areas along rivers, encourage "fair weather" land use such as parkland and recreational areas, and improve land management practices to absorb and retard the flow of water, to protect lands downstream
