Moved by: Jack Heath Seconded by: Jack Ballinger WHEREAS THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT staff has proposed an update to Building The Living City, the 2013-2022 Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Strategic Plan as per previous Authority direction to review the full plan within five years; AND WHEREAS the updated draft maintains the core strategic directions of the 2013 Strategic Plan document but includes updated desired outcomes and projected accomplishments arising from input from staff and stakeholders and which recognizes changes in TRCA's working environment; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the proposed update to the 2018 TRCA Strategic Plan Update be approved subject to any input from the Executive Committee and Board Authority. CARRIED BACKGROUND Building The Living City, the 2013-2022 Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Strategic Plan, was endorsed by the Authority at Meeting #3/13, on April 26, 2013. The Plan set out the direction for TRCA to continue working towards The Living City Vision, first endorsed by the Authority in 2003: The quality of life on Earth is being determined in rapidly expanding city regions. Our vision is for a new kind of community, The Living City, where human settlement can flourish forever as part of nature's beauty and diversity. Building The Living City outlined how TRCA would help realize The Living City Vision in its watersheds by protecting healthy rivers and shorelines, preserving greenspace and biodiversity, and contributing to the building of sustainable communities. Building on traditional TRCA strengths as well as more recent successes in emerging fields, Building The Living City charted a course for the organization to respond to the 215` century environmental and sustainability challenges facing the Toronto region, including unprecedented urbanization and a changing climate. Over the past five years, Building The Living City has shaped the priorities and programs of the TRCA. When endorsing the Strategic Plan in 2013, the Authority anticipated the need to update it midway through its 10 -year duration to ensure that it remained current and relevant. The Authority directed staff to "Review the full plan in five years, or earlier with cause to do so". TRCA has changed significantly over the past five years, and we can now understand potential future changes over the next five years in ways that we could not have anticipated in 2013. Further, we have learned from the first five years of implementing Building The Living City, and can use this knowledge to guide how we move forward. Therefore, the Authority direction to staff to update KIP the Plan by 2018 remains appropriate and timely. Staff, under the direction of the CEO, began working on the review and update to Building The Living City, in late 2017. RATIONALE As an update of the existing Strategic Plan rather than a complete renewal, the overall framework of the Plan will be maintained, including the vision, mission, principles, and 12 core strategic directions. The strategic directions will continue to consist of the six leadership strategies that set out how TRCA will work to achieve The Living City Vision, and six enabling strategies that describe how TRCA will build capacity to allow that work to occur. Together, the core strategic directions are as follows: Leadership Strategies: 1. Green the Toronto region's economy 2. Manage our regional water resources for current and future generations 3. Rethink greenspace to maximize its value 4. Create complete communities that integrate nature and the built environment 5. Foster sustainable citizenship 6. Tell the story of the Toronto region Enabling Strategies 7. Build partnerships and new business models 8. Gather and share the best urban sustainability knowledge 9. Measure performance 10. Accelerate innovation 11. Invest in our staff 12. Facilitate a region -wide approach to sustainability In the 2013 Strategic Plan document, each of these core strategic directions has a number of objectives that describes the intended outcomes of TRCA work in that area, as well as some of the key actions that were proposed for TRCA to move those objectives forward. The 2018 Update to Building The Living City evolves these objectives and actions to ensure that they are relevant to the changing context for the work of TRCA and that they reflect the lessons learned in implementing the strategic directions between 2013 and 2017. This was accomplished through the following: • Dialog with leadership and staff from across the organization to document progress and lessons learned during implementation of the Strategic Plan between 2013 and 2017 • Consultation by the CEO and Senior Leadership Team with TRCA municipal partners and industry representatives • An updated assessment of strengths, weaknesses opportunities and threats (SWOT) that informed Building The Living City, through research and consultation with staff • Workshops with key staff leaders and subject matter experts to review and update the objectives and actions for each of the leadership and enabling strategies The draft 2018 Strategic Plan Update will function as a companion document to Building The Living City, and consists of the following sections: 91 e 1. Introduction: A message from the CEO; a summary of the vision, principles and framework of 12 strategies from Building The Living City and the importance of a five-year update; and an overview of key challenges and opportunities TRCA will address in the coming five years. 2. Updated overview of each Strategic Priority 2018-2022: Updates to each of the 12 core strategies that includes: a. Updated desired outcomes that describe what TRCA will be working towards over the next five years. b. Key accomplishments from the first five years of the strategic plan. c. Projected accomplishments in the coming five years. d. Overview of how TRCA will measure its performance in progressing toward the projected accomplishments and desired outcomes. 3. Executing and Maintaining Progress: Description of how TRCA will put this plan into action, adjust as required and report on progress. The draft 2018 Strategic Plan Update is attached for the review and input of the Executive Committee and Board Authority. Subject to any input from Authority members and approval, staff will incorporate input into a final published document that will be broadly distributed in late Fall 2018. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE • Authority to adopt the 2018 TRCA Strategic Plan Update, subject to incorporating any Member input at the Executive Committee and prior to or at the September 2018 Board Authority meeting. • Staff to develop and publish a formal 2018 Strategic Plan Update document, to accompany Building The Living City, for communication of the Update to staff and external stakeholders. • Staff to incorporate the 2018 Update into work planning, budgeting and financial management processes. • Staff to align future work planning with the 2018 Update. • Staff to develop metrics to track and report on progress towards the updated strategic goals.

Executing and Maintaining Progress on our Updated Strategic Plan ..........................29 Draft 1 Message from the CEO When I became Chief Executive Officer of TRCA in November of 2017, 1 quickly recognized the value of the 2013-2022 TRCA Strategic Plan, Building the Living City in providing direction to our organization. Building the Living City outlines priorities and describes how the diverse range of TRCA programs move us towards our Living City Vision. That vision aspires to more than just healthy watersheds and protected natural spaces; it describes a future where communities in our region become more sustainable and prosper through the work of TRCA and our partners. Since 2013, Building the Living City has helped guide our work and communicate to our partners and stakeholders how we were moving forward on shared priorities. The 12 core strategies of the plan remain sound and relevant, but updated strategic directions are needed to reflect a changing operating environment, achieve efficiencies in service delivery, better support our traditional mandate, and to achieve the objectives we share with our member municipalities and partners. We have updated and focused our priorities to reflect recent changes, as well as the priorities of our stakeholders, in order to guide our business planning and program delivery over the next five years. Not only will this update provide direction to our operations, the refreshed desired outcomes and priorities will help guide the fundraising and stewardship efforts of The Living City Foundation which continues to help TRCA execute on key initiatives through partnerships and new business models. This update also forms the basis for tracking and reporting on our progress. TRCA annual reports will now be linked specifically to the outcomes and priorities outlined in this update, and we will evaluate our performance — including my own — on our success in achieving them. The exchange of ideas that occurred in developing this update have led to more focused priorities for consideration by our Authority Board. I am confident that we have identified the right combination of ongoing programs, projects and renewed areas of focus, that align well with TRCA's mandated responsibilities and enable us to continue making a profound, positive impact on the environment and quality of life in our jurisdiction within one of the fastest growing regions in North America. John MacKenzie Chief Executive Officer September 2018 Draft 410 2 1. Updating Building The Living City, the TRCA 2013-2022 Strategic Plan Building the Living City is the 10 -year Board Authority endorsed TRCA Strategic Plan that set the directions that TRCA is pursuing from 2013 to 2022. It was founded on the reaffirmation of our commitment to the ideals on which Ontario's Conservation Authorities were founded over 70 years ago, which are to safeguard and enhance the health and wellbeing of our watershed communities through the protection and restoration of the natural environment and the ecological services our environment provides. This 5 -year Update renews this commitment, and TRCA's commitment to The Living City Vision: "A new kind of community - The Living City - where human settlement can flourish forever as part of nature's beauty and diversity." Our approach to working towards this vision remains anchored in our organizational mission: "To work with our partners to ensure that The Living City is built upon a natural foundation of healthy rivers and shorelines, greenspace and biodiversity, and sustainable communities." TRCA will continue to protect the integrity and health of the rivers and waters in the region, develop a system of green and natural spaces that sustains us and our local ecosystems, and advance the transition to sustainable living that will improve people's lives and reduce the region's environmental footprint. The context for TRCA's work is complex and continuously evolving, making it important to adapt our strategic direction so that it remains relevant. Through this Update which comes at the mid- way point of the life cycle of the 2013-2022 Strategic Plan, we have reflected on what we have learned over five years of implementing Building the Living City. We have considered the changes that have occurred and will continue to occur in TRCA's jurisdiction with senior levels of government, the private sector, and with our member municipalities who themselves are adapting to changing environmental, social and economic realities. We will continue to operate according to the framework of the 12 core strategies that were identified in Building the Living City - six leadership strategies that move us towards The Living City Vision, and six enabling strategies that strengthen the capacity of TRCA, its partners, and watershed communities to create positive impact. For each of those 12 core strategies, this Update will: Draft • Revise objectives with clear outcome statements that update and clarify our priorities, and strengthen our ability to measure and report on progress; • Highlight key TRCA accomplishments that moved the strategy forward over the past five years; • Identify key projected accomplishments that will help accelerate progress toward our desired outcomes. • Outline opportunities to measure how effectively TRCA is progressing toward realizing the projected accomplishments. 411 2. Opportunities and Challenges When developing Building The Living City in 2013, we accounted for priorities, issues and trends in the Toronto region, as well as factors and forces at provincial, national and international scales that could impact our work. While much of that context still applies today, over the past five years the world has changed in ways that affect our approach to fulfilling TRCA's mission. As we look forward to the next five years, here are some of the new opportunities and challenges that we will take into account. Provincial Policv: Several recent Ontario legislative and policy updates touch directly on TRCA's core mandate and service areas. In light of these, we will provide expertise needed to help our municipal partners conform to new watershed planning policies and to conduct required asset management planning involving our assets and green infrastructure. We will update TRCA watershed plans to reflect the latest science and planned growth, and set renewed priorities for watershed planning and restoration. We will continue to link our watershed management activities with efforts to protect Lake Ontario, while identifying, demonstrating and sharing best practices in water management. We will continue to strive to achieve efficiencies in the delivery of permit reviews through coordination between our customers and member municipalities. Climate: Our municipal partners recognize the vulnerabilities brought about by the changing climate. The associated risks and impacts in our region are increasing due to population and density growth, severe weather events, and aging infrastructure. Reducing the risk and potential for costly flooding, pollution and erosion damage is our primary objective. TRCA will support efforts by our member municipalities and senior levels of government to respond to climate risks by helping them build infrastructure that is more resilient to flood and erosion hazards, providing expertise in predicting the effects of climate on watersheds and communities, and leveraging our networks to connect them with the knowledge and technologies they need. Urban (ReWeveloument and Continued Economic Growth in the GTAH: As redevelopment is proposed in our jurisdiction at an unprecedented scale, development proposals present new opportunities to improve water management, rebuild infrastructure, and make existing and new urban areas more livable and resilient. Meanwhile, population and employment growth together with intensification are decreasing available per capita greenspace and stressing existing parks and natural systems. TRCA will support municipalities with policy and design expertise for implementing innovative water management and green infrastructure solutions in developing and redeveloping urban areas. We will build support for the protection and acquisition of greenspace in urbanizing environments through our timely review of projects and plans taking into account regulatory requirements. Collective Action: As the number of organizations engaged in environmental initiatives in the Toronto region grows creating more capacity and competition for government resources, there is increasing recognition of the need for regional -scale coordination to achieve efficiencies. Greater legal and public pressure is also being placed on government agencies to consult and engage more effectively with local indigenous communities and our diverse population. TRCA will use its strength as a convener to increase coordination and efficient delivery of services in the growing network of organizations and governments working on environmental issues in our jurisdiction. We will also reach out to indigenous communities and diverse populations to engage them in designing and delivering education, stewardship and cultural heritage programs. Draft 412 4 3. Strategy Updates Strategy 1 — Green the Toronto region's economy Supporting the transition to a strong, green economy continues to be critical priority. Long-term prosperity in our jurisdiction, the region, and global sustainability requires industries and businesses to reduce the environmental footprint of our economy. It is also important to recognize more effectively that the green infrastructure industry and restoration economy, of which TRCA is a part, makes major contributions to regional economic development and community wellbeing. Desired Outcomes Additional sustainability measures implemented in new building developments and in retrofits of existing developments to reduce environmental impacts. 2. Ecologically sound agricultural practices on TRCA managed lands that support community economic development and agricultural viability. 3. Green infrastructure projects and training programs to support governments and industry in their efforts to renew and deliver efficient and resilient infrastructure and facilitate more sustainable developments. 2013-2017 Accomplishments Since 2013, we have: facilitated the market adoption of effective new green building practices and technologies throughout our jurisdiction. For example, in partnership with industry we piloted new construction technologies at The Living City Campus at Kortright Centre for Conservation; encouraged the adoption of more sustainable practices and new building technologies in new developments (e.g., Toronto Waterfront), and are designing a new head office that will demonstrate leadership in green office building design and construction. • helped create and strengthen partnerships between public, private, institutions and non- profit sectors to support the adoption of green infrastructure policy and investments by senior levels of government across our jurisdiction through the Green Infrastructure Ontario Coalition, EcoHealth Ontario and the Ontario Climate Consortium. • demonstrated TRCA's commitment and capacity for helping newcomers and professionals with environmental expertise enter the workforce to support required green industry niches/skills through the Professional Access Into Employment (PATE) program and through expert training sessions. Projected Strategic Accomplishments (2018 — 2022) • Be at the forefront of providing input into the development of provincial and municipal policies and guidelines relating to TRCA's core objectives. Draft 413 • Expand TRCA's fee-for-service work for governmental, private sector and not-for-profit stakeholders, to facilitate the efficient delivery of projects in areas of TRCA expertise. • Seize opportunities for integrating more sustainable technologies and sustainable development certifications in the design and construction of new housing and employment projects in our jurisdiction. • Expand the Partners and Project Green Eco -Zone program to include emerging employment areas across our jurisdiction. Measuring our Performance We will continue to track the environmental performance and greenhouse gas emissions of business that participate in TRCA Eco -Business zones and sector greening programs, and report on their environmental footprint using available data sources. We will work closely to track TRCA and partners' investments in green infrastructure; and we will work with our partners to measure ecosystem services as part of their asset management work to quantify the benefits of green infrastructure more effectively. Draft 414 Strategy 2 — Manage our regional water resources for current and future generations Clean water is a precious and limited resource that needs to be valued and protected. Urban development and unsustainable agricultural and industrial practices continue to negatively impact our rivers, streams and Lake Ontario. To safeguard our drinking water supply, the health of our aquatic ecosystems, and our communities, we need to continue to work with our partners to protect and restore water resources. Desired Outcomes Natural aquatic ecosystem functions within our watersheds are protected and enhanced using the best available tools and data to target investments for the best results. 2. Toronto Region waterways are suitable for swimming, fishing, and recreational activities. 3. Source water quality and quantity is maintained or improved. 4. Known flood and erosion risks are being addressed by TRCA and our partners on a priority basis. 2013-2017 Accomplishments Since 2013, we have: • played an instrumental role in protecting property and infrastructure from flooding at the Lower Don River and downtown Toronto to facilitate major redevelopments. For example, working with Waterfront Toronto and Infrastructure Ontario, TRCA reduced flood risks from more than 200 hectares of downtown Toronto, allowing redevelopment of the Pan Am Athletes Village and several major private sector projects to proceed. • implemented over $45 million in erosion risk management projects to protect public safety, essential infrastructure, recreational trails and treasured greenspace along our region's waterways including protecting major transportation, sewer and water systems that travel through the Regions of York, Durham, Peel and the City of Toronto. • finalized the Toronto and Region Source Water Protection Assessment Report which identified vulnerable areas and potential future threats to municipal drinking water supplies to inform our review of projects and plans. Projected Strategic Accomplishments (2018 — 2022) Draft Work with our municipal partners to implement flood remediation, erosion monitoring, maintenance work, stormwater system retrofits, low impact developments, green infrastructure, and water quality and habitat restoration projects to realize more sustainable developments (e.g. Toronto Portlands). 415 • Engage with local communities, through our education, outreach, and watershed services teams to increase awareness about issues facing our water resources and their importance to our health and well-being. • Monitor the health of our watersheds through the Regional Watershed Monitoring Program. • Reduce flood risks and protect communities through continuous improvements to our flood forecasting and warning program. Measuring our Performance Water quality and biodiversity, monitored through TRCA's Regional Watershed Monitoring Program, will continue as the main indicators of aquatic ecosystem health. We will continue to maintain and improve our stream flow hydrology program and update our models for flood forecasting. We will track progress and success of completed erosion control and restoration projects among other objectives that facilitate redevelopment through our GIS -based tracking system. We will also use available information such as LiDAR and ortho imagery, and detailed surveys to monitor and evaluate the management of our water resources. Draft A • Strategy 3 — Rethink greenspace to maximize its value The extensive ravine network and greenspace system of the Toronto region, which provides linkages through our communities and nature experiences within minutes of Toronto's downtown and our Urban Growth Centers, is a key part of our region's appeal and prosperity. Evidence from around the world increasingly demonstrates a clear connection between greenspace and the health and well-being of communities. As the population of the region continues to grow rapidly we need to sustain, improve and expand our system of protected greenspace in order to meet the needs of our communities while protecting our natural heritage. Desired Outcomes 1. TRCA watershed communities benefit from a well-connected network of accessible greenspace. 2. Our region's natural heritage system is protected to support, and where possible, enhance and maintain existing biodiversity and ecological functions. 3. A larger total area of protected greenspace is achieved throughout our jurisdiction. 2013-2017 Accomplishments Since 2013, we have: • completed major environmental assessments and studies such as the Scarborough Waterfront EA, Richmond Hill Corridor Conservation Reserve Master Plan, and Goodwood Tract Trail Plan to set the stage for flood protection, erosion works, and the development of accessible trails and newly restored habitats. • supported municipalities in incorporating updated natural heritage system mapping and policies into their Official Plans and, as part of their asset management, helped them assess the state of their urban forests and develop long-term plans to maintain them. • improved public access to greenspace by acquiring almost 700 acres of new public greenspace and partnered with government agencies, municipalities and NGOs to formalize over 800 kilometres of a regional trail system throughout our jurisdiction. • worked with municipal social services departments to develop nature -based therapy programs to introduce diverse groups of users to TRCA owned greenspace. Projected Strategic Accomplishments (2018 — 2022) • Achieve the most appropriate use of TRCA's inventory of lands and facilities while respecting cultural heritage and environmental values. • Invest in aging infrastructure across our Conservation Areas and public spaces in order to provide safe, accessible and functional facilities to the public. Draft 417 Secure, restore, and where appropriate, provide more accessible greenspace as part of the technical review of proposed projects and plans. • Update TRCA's Terrestrial Natural Heritage System Strategy, the Regional Trail System, TRCA's Living City Policies and their associated technical guidelines to inform our technical reviews of projects and plans. • Advance priority greenspace and community initiatives of the Living City Foundation, member municipalities and partners on flagship projects such The Meadoway, Tommy Thompson Park, Bolton Camp Redevelopment, and Black Creek Pioneer Village. Measuring our Performance In measuring our progress towards the desired outcomes for this strategy, our TRCA Regional Watershed Monitoring Program will continue to provide the information we need to assess the biodiversity and ecological function of our regional greenspace and green infrastructure. We will use GIS tools to inventory the existing extent of publicly owned and protected greenspace in our Region and to measure the amount of acquired greenspace through our work. GIS tools will also measure how greenspace is distributed throughout our watersheds and communities and help us monitor progress on restoration, erosion control and green infrastructure projects. To understand how our watershed community members are using greenspace we will engage them through surveys and other feedback tools. Draft 10 Strategy 4 — Create complete communities that integrate nature and the built environment Complete communities support the well-being of each resident by providing a full range of housing, transportation, community infrastructure and open space opportunities. In order to create complete communities, we need to incorporate livability and sustainability into new developments, while supporting the transformation and retrofitting of existing neighbourhoods to reduce their environmental footprint and increase their resilience. Desired Outcomes 1. Greenspaces, green infrastructure and more sustainable developments that benefit community members to reduce environmental impacts with natural ecosystems integrated into all communities. 2. Optimal access to TRCA owned or managed greenspace where feasible. 3. A strong sense of place for all communities that is grounded in environmental health and sustainability, and recognizes and celebrates our natural and cultural heritage. 4. Existing and new communities are planned to achieve a less impactful (e.g. lower carbon) environmental footprint 2013-2017 Accomplishments Since 2013, we have: • conducted technical reviews to facilitate development and infrastructure projects across our jurisdiction including notable projects such as the Spadina Subway Extension, Regional Express Rail, 427 highway extension, redevelopments in the Vaughan Metropolitan Center, downtown Brampton, and projects in new employment areas of Caledon, Pickering, Brampton, Markham, Richmond Hill and Vaughan. • supported our partner municipalities in integrating greenspace and green infrastructure into new and existing communities through initiatives such as retrofitting existing Storm Water Management ponds, terrestrial natural heritage system design, urban forest management and facilitating low impact development • obtained City of Toronto and Garfield W. Weston Foundation support for Phase 1 of The Meadoway project that will transform the Gatineau hydro corridor in East Toronto and beyond into vibrant, biodiverse public spaces. • initiated development of the next generation of TRCA watershed plans that will show how watershed protection can be integrated into new development and redevelopments. • supported our municipal partners in addressing provincial requirements for hazards, watershed planning, and natural heritage in land use decision-making through developing guidelines and policies to inform their decisions. Draft 419 11 Projected Strategic Accomplishments (2018 — 2022) • Assist landowners and government partners to realize complete communities and environmental best practices in new developments. • Assess our development review process with our municipal members, industry and other stakeholders to identify opportunities to facilitate more timely reviews. • Provide value-added advice to protect natural heritage, reduce risk from flooding and erosion, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and restore habitats in the design of new communities and redeveloping areas. • Work with industry and municipal partners to integrate natural heritage, elements of the Regional Trail Strategy, and green infrastructure into the design of new communities, and the redevelopment of older communities, at the earliest stage of the planning process in order to achieve vibrant award winning public spaces and multiple community benefits. • Engage with our partner municipalities, the development industry, and professional associations to deliver professional development programs, conduct design charrettes and forums to achieve integrated sustainable community design in projects and plans. Measuring our Performance Measuring our progress towards our desired outcomes for this strategy will require reliance on existing information and in some cases new data. The land and vegetation cover data and trail mapping data collected by TRCA and our partner municipalities will allow us to assess our collective success in increasing the amount of greenspace and active transportation infrastructure passing through our lands. Projects including restored steam corridors and retrofitted ponds will be tracked in TRCA's (GIS) Iceberg database, the volume of permit reviews will be reported on, and the number of individuals receiving training and certifications through TRCA education and engagement will be tracked. Understanding community health needs may require new partnerships with public health authorities, while assessing 'sense of place' will involve surveys with staff and stakeholders in the development process and direct input from community members. Draft 420 12 Strategy 5 — Foster sustainable citizenship To foster engagement of community members, we need to build civic capacity by providing the tools and opportunities needed for community members to transition from participants into advocates and leaders. We can also facilitate a two-way dialogue with community members to ensure that local knowledge, ideas and concerns are integrated into decision-making by governments and agencies. Desired Outcomes Improved community understanding of important environmental issues and the work being done by TRCA to protect the environment and make the region more sustainable. 2. More frequent engagement by community members in nature -based educational, recreational activities, and sustainability actions. 3. Strong community leadership in, and ownership of, watershed planning, community planning, and sustainability initiatives. 2013-2017 Accomplishments Since 2013. we have: • led the Environmental Leaders of Tomorrow program that helps school -aged children make important connections with nature, and challenges them to develop their ecological literacy and leadership skills. • established a Regional Watershed Alliance to enable engagement in watershed management issues, whose membership is comprised of citizen representatives, politicians, municipal and NGO representatives. increased public awareness of the value of energy and water conservation through educational activities delivered by our Education, Training and Outreach and Community Transformation teams. Projected Strategic Accomplishments (2018 — 2022) • Provide increased engagement opportunities for stakeholders of all ages that build environmental, sustainability and climate awareness and promote leadership within communities including training and capacity building. • Develop a greater diversity of nature -based programs to attract a wider range of community participants in TRCA programs. Draft Work with The Living City Foundation (LCF) to secure funding, community awareness and involvement around TRCA and LCF flagship projects including The Meadoway, Tommy Thompson Park, Black Creek Pioneer Village, Bolton Camp redevelopment and the "Look After Where You Live" program. 421 13 • Engage school boards and governments in discussions on how to achieve cost efficient and equitable access for students to curriculum out of class nature — science based education activities. Measuring our Performance We will track participation rates in TRCA and Living City Foundation programs and events, generate data to track participation in outdoor activities, and adjust programs based on data captured on use of TRCA destinations and programs. We will also specifically monitor youth and elementary aged children participation rates in TRCA environmental education programs and planning initiatives. We will map school participation rates in a geospatial database, and report on corresponding demographic, health, academic and other relevant data. Draft 422 14 Strategy 6 — Tell the story of the Toronto region Equipped with a strong sense of place, community members are more likely to be champions for their communities, for their local environment, and for conservation. TRCA will help to tell the story of the region's rich history through a range of voices and perspectives that fully represent our cultural diversity. By engaging all community partners in this conversation, we will remember, teach and celebrate the experiences that form our individual and shared identities. Desired Outcomes All community members celebrate the natural heritage, cultural heritage and diversity of the Toronto Region. 2. Additional engagement of indigenous communities and a broad range of diverse communities in the design of our education and stewardship programs. 3. Reflection of the diversity of the Toronto region in TRCA programs. 4. Preservation and restoration of historic TRCA assets and the recognition and communication of their cultural significance. 2013-2017 Accomplishments Since 2013, we have: established Bolton Camp by purchasing 254 acres of property and 50 historic buildings in the Town of Caledon, and launched a plan led by our Education, Training and Outreach team to re -purpose the site as a community cultural hub. preserved and promoted the cultural heritage of European settlement in our region by investing in a new collections management database and environmental control system to ensure that artifacts at Black Creek Pioneer Village will be preserved for future enjoyment and education; and curated Breaking the Silence: Stories of the British Home Children, 1869-1948, an exhibit at Black Creek Pioneer Village that was recognized with the Ontario Museum Association's 2016 Award for Excellence in Exhibitions. • repurposed several of our historic buildings and properties for innovative programming and community activities that have allowed our cultural heritage to be shared with new audiences. Projected Strategic Accomplishments (2018 — 2022) • Develop a clear and consistent identity and corporate brand for TRCA and build TRCA's visibility through formal and informal communication channels. • Integrate cultural heritage broadly throughout TRCA programming with a focus on fun, learning, and personal stories. Draft 423 15 • Continue to engage the region's diverse communities including our indigenous communities to tell their stories and recognize their contributions, and develop community events that celebrate cultural heritage. • Update our Archaeological Master Plan with information obtained from reviews and studies. • Seek historic designations for our buildings, as well as new sources of funding for their restoration re -use, and maintenance, where applicable. • Focus on developing information that is accessible and engaging using a variety of mediums, including digital technology. Measuring our Performance We will continue to track our efforts to tell the story of the Toronto region through media analysis including both print and social media. We will continue to track visitor rates for our cultural heritage destinations such as Black Creek Pioneer Village. We will track our progress on addressing costs of heritage buildings through asset management planning. We will also explore new methods of tracking our efforts including satisfaction surveys, online reviews and user rates of historic properties. Draft 424 16 Strategy 7 — Build partnerships and new business models Securing stable funding and resources to carry out our mission remains an ongoing priority for TRCA. New opportunities for funding and collaborative arrangements are emerging; but at the same time competition for funding and resources is increasing. The economic landscape that supports TRCA and its work is shifting, and TRCA must continually assess and respond to changes affecting funding and resources. Desired Outcomes 1.

Moved by: Jennifer Innis Seconded by: Brenda Hogg THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Contract #10008637 for the supply of all labour, equipment and materials necessary for high voltage electrical works at Bolton Camp, in the Town of Caledon be awarded to Aline Utility Ltd. at a total cost not to exceed $181,720, plus HST, as they are the lowest bidder that best meets TRCA specifications; THAT TRCA Staff be authorized to approve additional expenditures to a maximum of 15% of the contract cost as a contingency allowance if deemed necessary; THAT should staff be unable to execute an acceptable contract with the awarded contractor, staff be authorized to enter into and conclude contract negotiations with the other contractors that submitted tenders, beginning with the next lowest bidder meeting TRCA specifications; AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA staff be directed to take any action necessary to implement the contract including obtaining any required approvals and the signing and execution of documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND Bolton Camp opened in 1922, acting as a Fresh Air Camp for mothers with small children and boys and girls from low income families. It was operated by The Neighborhood Workers Association of Toronto and spanned over 103 ha (254 acres) of hillside and forest. In its first year it is estimated that 160 city children and their mothers traveled from Toronto to the Bolton Camp site. During the great depression of the late 20's and 30's this camp was a bright place for many disadvantaged kids to escape the heat and extreme poverty of the city. The camp was available free of charge to many families (on a case by case basis) through the Fresh Air Fund. During this time, there were a total of four separate camps which shared property and resources - Rotary, Sherbourne, Hastings and Howell. As WWII began, Bolton Camp served as a Cadet Training Centre for the Oakville High School Cadet Corps. After the war ended, the site continued to operate as a camp for underprivileged youth with approximately 169 buildings serving more than 5,500 campers at its peak. An outdoor education and conference centre was added in 1972, and the Ruth Atkinson Hindmarsh Family Lodge in 1984 to accommodate new programming and provide services for a wider audience. The camp closed its doors in 1999 after 77 years of operation and has remained mostly closed since that date, with Toronto Montessori operating a school on the conference centre portion in the early 2000's. At Authority Meeting #5/10, held on June 25, 2010, Resolution #A102/10 was approved, in part, as follows: THAT a partial taking containing 105.6 hectares (260.91 acres), more or less, consisting of an irregular shaped parcel of land improved with in excess of 30 buildings and a private water system and sewage system including two sewage lagoons, said lands being Part of Lots 7, 8, 9 and 10, Concession 8, Albion, Town of Caledon, in the Regional Municipality of Peel, municipally known as 13540-13650 Caledon-King Townline South, be purchased from the Hi -Lands of Bolton Corp.; Since the purchase of the property, TRCA staff has been consulting with municipal partners and community groups on redevelopment of the property and how the site should be utilized. Through this process, staff has developed a concept plan for re -purposing Bolton Camp from its previous use as an overnight summer camp for youth and families of Toronto to an outdoor centre for participants of all ages. Proposed programming at the renewed Bolton Camp may include adventure, sports and fitness activities, community art and culture programs, outdoor education and training, leadership development and social entrepreneurship opportunities. TRCA is now requesting approval to replace the existing high voltage electrical infrastructure at Bolton Camp. The proposed high voltage electrical works is a mandatory requirement to comply with current code future growth of the property and is a necessary requirement of the Phase 1 redevelopment process. TRCA's assigned project manager will ensure that all works to be undertaken will be coordinated with the contractor and staff with responsibility for the management and operation of Bolton Camp. This measure will help to minimize potential impacts and sustain normal operations, access, and program delivery during construction. RATIONALE Request for Tender #10008637 was publically advertised on the electronic procurement website Biddingo (www.biddingo.com) on July 12, 2018 with a mandatory site information meeting held on July 19, 2018.

Moved by: Jack Heath Seconded by: Chris Fonseca THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Contract #10008665 be awarded to Galcon Marine Ltd. for the maintenance dredging of the navigation channel at Bluffer's Park in the City of Toronto at a total cost not to exceed $211,250.00 plus HST, it being the highest ranked bidder that best meets Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) specifications; THAT TRCA staff be authorized to approve additional expenditures to a maximum of $42,250.00 as a contingency allowance if deemed necessary; THAT if the contingency is not required when the work is nearing substantial completion, that staff be allowed to authorize the Contractor to remove additional sediment from the channel with these funds to maximize capacity; AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take any action necessary to implement the agreement including obtaining any required approvals and the signing and execution of documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1981 Bluffer's Park opened at the foot of Brimley Road as a waterfront park in the former Borough of Scarborough, now City of Toronto. Included within the park is a commercial marina as well as four boating clubs that access Lake Ontario by way of the entrance channel. Due to coastal and sediment transport processes, the navigation channel is susceptible to deposition of sand and other material. This deposition reduces the depth of water in the navigation channel and can severely impact the ability to safely navigate boats through the area, including marine -based emergency access, if left unaddressed. The channel bed is owned by the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), however the City of Toronto is responsible for maintaining safe navigation depths as per its lease agreements with the boating clubs. TRCA assists the City on request with the dredging given staff's experience with marine -based construction. Sedimentation rates are expected to decline substantially in the channel over the long-term following the armouring of the Meadowcliffe sector of the Scarborough Bluffs shoreline in 2011, which was identified as the primary source of material depositing in the channel. Furthermore, the Scarborough Waterfront Project has proposed changes to the hardpoint to the east of the channel that should further reduce sedimentation rates in the future. However, until the large deposit of sand in the nearshore east of the channel is depleted from cutting off the supply from the Meadowcliffe Sector, and the structural changes to the hardpoint at Bluffer's Park are implemented, maintenance dredging of the channel can be expected to continue, albeit at a declining volume over time. In early 2008, concerns of insufficient water depths in the entrance channel were brought to TRCA's attention by members of the boating clubs. TRCA notified the City of Toronto (Parks, Forestry & Recreation) of the hazard, who in turn retained TRCA to undertake maintenance 441 dredging later that summer. Upon completion of the 2008 dredging project, approximately 1,700 cubic metres of sediment was removed from the entrance channel; a relatively minor amount compared to the more than 70,000 cubic metres of sediment which is estimated to have accumulated over the more than 30 years since the entrance channel was constructed. Recognizing that the maintenance work restored only the minimum depth required for safe passage through the channel, with no allowance provided for ongoing siltation, it was communicated by TRCA staff to the City of Toronto that future maintenance dredging would likely be required. In 2010, insufficient water depths in the entrance channel were again brought to TRCA's attention. In response, TRCA completed a hydrographic survey of the entrance channel in April 2010 to provide updated information to the City of Toronto and determine the appropriate course of action. The survey showed that a large sand bar formed laterally across the entrance channel, reducing water depths to approximately 1.5 m and creating a risk to the members of the boating community who require a minimum draft of 1.8 m below chart datum for safe passage. As a result of shallow water in the entrance channel, the boat of a Cathedral Bluffs Yacht Club member got stranded on the sand bar on the evening of April 26, 2010, requiring rescue. Although no injuries were reported, it is noted that the draft on the stranded boat was 1.4 m, confirming that the low water levels and ongoing sedimentation issues were increasing risk to boater safety. Emergency dredging was completed within the entrance channel in June 2010, allowing for approximately 3,500 cubic metres of sediment to be removed. Unfortunately, a sounding completed by TRCA on May 9, 2011 revealed that more than 2/3 of the volume removed 11 months earlier had re -accumulated, and another dredging project was subsequently carried out later that year. Dredging of the entrance channel has been completed four times since 2011, in 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017, to address the results of hydrographic surveys completed by TRCA in the spring of each year. Dredging was not required in 2012 or 2015 based on these same surveys, allowing the City of Toronto to reallocate funding to other Parks, Forestry and Recreation (PF&R) priorities. In April 2018 TRCA completed a hydrographic survey and determined that only 200 cubic metres of sediment is required to meet minimum navigation requirements. This substantial reduction from an average of 3,500 cubic metres annually is a result of over -dredging in 2017, which was done to source and recycle clean sand from the channel to restore various beaches along the Toronto waterfront that suffered significant erosion and other damage following the historic high lake levels during the spring and summer that year. Using average unit rates from previous dredging projects, staff estimate that approximately 2,500 cubic metres of sediment can be removed from the channel in 2018 with a budget of $340,000. It is noted that TRCA has recommended that the City of Toronto consider completing a major sediment removal exercise to restore the channel to its original design condition as it is costly to mobilize and demobilize marine equipment on an annual basis; however, the City has been unable to approve this larger budget request to date. Sediment samples were collected from the channel and sent for laboratory analysis to determine disposal options for the dredgeate. Based on the results of these analyses, the sediment meets Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks Table 1 background data meaning that the material meets unconfined disposal guidelines. Given that on-site disposal is the most cost-effective solution and site disturbance is expected to be minimal, permanent disposal of the 442 dredgeate is to be placed along the east beach above the high water mark to prevent re -deposition into the entrance channel. RATIONALE Request for Proposals (RFP) #10008665 was publicly advertised on Biddingo.com on July 13, 2018, and a mandatory site meeting was held on July 19, 2018. The following contractors attended this meeting: • Galcon Marine Ltd.; and • Dean Construction Company Ltd.; Bids were opened at the Procurement Opening Committee meeting held on August 2, 2018 by TRCA staff (Jet Taylor, James Dickie, and Lisa Moore). Members of the Selection Committee, consisting of TRCA staff reviewed the proposal submissions and evaluated them on a weighted scoring system consisting of 50% reasonableness of cost, 30% corporate experience and resources and the remaining 20% on the reference check. Along with unit rates for the channel maintenance dredging, bidders were to include company resources, relevant experience, references, and health and safety certificates to ensure TRCA is receiving good value for services. From the evaluation, the highest ranked Bidder is selected to complete the works. The table below summarizes the results of RFP #10008665 assuming removal of 2,500 cubic metres of sediment. RFP # 10008665 Bluffer's Park Project — Channel Dredging Works BIDDERS MOBILIZATION/ DREDGING DISPOSAL TOTAL Overall DEMOBILIZATION ($/m') (Bluffers (plus HST) Ranking East Area $/m' Galcon $80,000.00 $28.50 $24.00 $211,250.00 1 Marine Ltd. Dean $210,889.20 $145.00 $30.70 $650,139.20 2 Construction Ltd. The main tender items that varied substantially between contractors were the proposed mobilization/demobilization cost and the dredging cost. The difference in pricing between mobilization/demobilization is based on the location of the contractor's equipment relative to the work area and cost associated with transporting their machinery to the site. Galcon Marine Ltd. intends to mobilize by water from Keating Channel and has priced their mobilization accordingly. Dean Construction Company Ltd. has to mobilize their equipment by water from LaSalle Ontario (Detroit River) which is more expensive due to the time and distance from the site. The difference in pricing between dredging cost is based on equipment and company size. Galcon Marine Ltd. is a relatively small company using small equipment where Dean Construction Company Ltd. is a relatively large company with large equipment. The deviation in disposal cost per cubic metre is within the range that Restoration and Infrastructure staff anticipated for this contract. 443 Based on the evaluation of the received proposals, it was determined that Galcon Marine Ltd. was the highest ranking bidder and most competitively priced overall. Galcon Marine Ltd.'s experience and ability to undertake similar projects was confirmed through reference checks which resulted in positive feedback. Therefore, staff recommends that Galcon Marine Ltd. be awarded Contract #10008665 for dredging works for a total amount not to exceed $211,250.00, to be expended as authorized by TRCA staff, plus a 20% contingency, plus HST; it being the lowest bid that meets TRCA specifications and requirements as outlined in the RFP contract documents. As it is standard practice to include a contingency in project estimation in the event of unforeseen events, 20% of the base contract price, or $42,250.00, has been set aside for this contract. However, as the City has directed TRCA to remove as much material as possible with the available budget, it is recommended that staff be allowed to utilize the contingency to remove additional material as available. Staff will monitor the progress of the contractor and the budget before extending the scope of work. Dredging is tentatively scheduled to commence in early October 2018, pending authorization to award Contract #10008665 and the receipt of all necessary approvals. Work is anticipated to take approximately four weeks to complete, weather permitting. This project is aligned with leadership strategy number two "Manage our regional water resources for current and future generations." Dredging of the channel will improve shoreline access making the system more navigable for canoes and other boats. In addition, this project aligns with enabling strategy number seven "build partnerships and new business models." TRCA has now completed this work on behalf of the City multiple times allowing us to demonstrate TRCA's expertise and capability in performing this critical maintenance thereby increasing TRCA's financial resilience. FINANCIAL DETAILS A budget of $340,000 has been identified to complete the 2018 maintenance dredging works, including Contract #10008665, the recommended $25,000 contingency allowance, and staff time to secure approvals and manage the contract. Funding for this project is 100% recoverable from the City of Toronto within account 186-10. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Dredging is scheduled to commence in October of this year pending the receipt of approvals. Project updates, including start date, estimated duration and any delays will be communicated to primary stakeholders such as the City Councilor, Parks Supervisor and the Scarborough Bluffs Boating Federation through ongoing email correspondence. Impact to the public is anticipated to be minimal as the dredging will be undertaken in October, following the busy boating season.

Moved by: Mike Mattos Seconded by: Jack Ballinger THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Contract #10008666 be awarded to Galcon Marine Ltd. for the channel dredging at Coatsworth Cut in the City of Toronto, at a total cost not to exceed $203,500.00 plus HST, as they are the lowest bidder that best meets Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) specifications; THAT TRCA staff be authorized to approve additional expenditures to a maximum of $40,700.00 as a contingency allowance as directed by the City; THAT if the contingency is not required when the work is nearing substantial completion, that staff be allowed to authorize the Contractor to remove additional sediment from the channel with these funds to provide additional capacity; AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take any action necessary to implement the agreement including obtaining any required approvals and the signing and execution of documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1983, TRCA began dredging operations at the mouth of Coatsworth Cut to maintain navigation between Lake Ontario and the boating facilities located at Ashbridge's Bay Park. In response to increasing dredging volumes and associated expenses over time, in 1999 TRCA began to investigate shoreline modification options that would eliminate the need for annual maintenance dredging. Currently the long-term solution to the sedimentation problem in Coatsworth Cut being addressed through a number of planning initiatives; however, TRCA plans to continue with maintenance dredging until such time that the final solution is in place and sedimentation rates are confirmed to be declining in response. As of the date this communication was prepared, implementation of the preferred solution is expected to commence in 2019 pending receipt of the necessary approvals and funding with work anticipating to take 4 - 6 years to complete. Maintenance dredging at Coatsworth Cut was last completed in the fall of 2017 with the removal of approximately 2,650 cubic metres of material. The dredged material was tested and deemed to meet parkland quality guidelines for disposal at Woodbine Beach to replenish sand and re -grade the volleyball courts. Material was tested in 2018 in preparation for the proposed dredging activities. Of the four samples analyzed, three failed Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MOECP) Table 3 Residential Parkland Institutional criteria. As such, dredgeate will be stockpiled by the contractor, with appropriate erosion and sediment control, and TRCA will coordinate offsite disposal at a licensed MOECP facility. MR RATIONALE Request for Proposal (RFP) #10008666 was publicly advertised on Biddingo.com on July 13, 2018, and a mandatory site information meeting was held on July 19, 2018. The following contractors attended this meeting: • Galcon Marine Ltd.; • Dean Construction Company Ltd.; • Catalina Excavating; • Terrapure Environmental; and • Ontario Construction Company. Bids were opened at the Procurement Opening Committee meeting held on August 2, 2018 by TRCA staff (Jet Taylor, James Dickie and Lisa Moore). Members of the Selection Committee, consisting of TRCA staff reviewed the proposal submissions and were evaluated on a weighted scoring system consisting of 50% reasonableness of cost, 30% corporate experience and resources and the remaining 20% on the reference check. Along with unit rates for the channel maintenance dredging, bidders were to include company resources, relevant experience, references, and health and safety certificates to ensure TRCA is receiving good value for services. From the evaluation, the highest ranked Bidder will be selected to complete the works. The table below summarizes the results of RFP #10008666 assuming the removal of 2,100 cubic metres of sediment. RFP # 10008666 Coatsworth Cut Project — Channel Dredging Works BIDDERS MOBILIZATION/ DREDGING TOTAL Overall DEMOBILIZATION ($/m') plus HST) Ranking Galcon Marine Ltd. $130,000.00 $35.00 $203,500.00 1 Dean Construction $229,240.00 $192.88 $634,288.00 2 Company The main tender items that varied substantially between contractors were the proposed mobilization/demobilization cost and the dredging cost. The difference in pricing between mobilization/demobilization is based on the location of the contractor's equipment relative to the work area and cost associated with transporting their machinery to the site. Galcon Marine Ltd. intends to mobilize by water from Keating Channel and has priced their mobilization accordingly. Dean Construction Company Ltd. has to mobilize their equipment by water from LaSalle Ontario (Detroit River) which is more expensive due to the time and distance from the site. The difference in pricing between dredging cost is based on equipment and company size. Galcon Marine Ltd. is a relatively small company using small equipment where Dean Construction Company Ltd. is a relatively large company with large equipment. Based on the evaluation of the received proposals, it was determined that Galcon Marine Ltd. was the highest ranking bidder and most competitively priced overall. Galcon Marine Ltd.'s experience and ability to undertake similar projects was confirmed through reference checks which resulted in positive feedback. Therefore, staff recommends that Galcon Marine Ltd. be awarded Contract #10008666 for dredging works for a total amount not to exceed $203,500.00, to be expended as authorized by TRCA staff, plus a 20% contingency, plus HST; it being the lowest bid that meets TRCA specifications and the requirements as outlined in the RFP contract documents. M N As it is standard practice to include a contingency in project estimation in the event of unforeseen events, an additional allowance of $40,700.00 is recommended. However, as the City has directed TRCA to remove as much material as possible with the available budget, it is recommended that staff monitor project expenditures during the course of the work, and be allowed to utilize the contingency to remove additional material to the limit of funding remaining. Dredging is tentatively scheduled to commence in early October 2018, pending authorization to award Contract #10008666 and the receipt of all necessary approvals. This contract is anticipated to take approximately five weeks to complete, weather permitting. This project is aligned with leadership strategy number two in TRCA's new strategic plan, as ensuring safe navigation of our waterways is an important component of successfully managing our water resources for current and future generations. Ongoing deposition reduces available water depth in the channel, creating a hazard to boaters and limiting marine -based emergency access if not addressed. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding for this project, including Contract #10008666, staff time and all associated costs to manage this contract is available from the City of Toronto within TRCA's 2018 waterfront capital budget, account 211-16. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Dredging is planned to commence in October of this year. Project updates, including start date, estimated duration and any delays will be communicated to primary stakeholders such as the City Councillor, Parks Supervisor and the Ashbridge's Bay Yacht Club through ongoing email correspondence. The impact to the public is anticipated to be minimal as the dredging will be undertaken in October, following the busy boating season. Report prepared by: Jet Taylor, extension 5526 and James Dickie, extension 5906 Emails: jtaylor@trca.on.ca and jdickie@trca.on.ca For Information contact: Jet Taylor, extension 5526 Emails: jtaylor@trca.on.ca Date: August 9, 2018 447 Section II — Items for Executive Action RES.#B86/18 - YORK REGION CLIMATE CHANGE ACTION AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN TRCA staff that support The Ontario Climate Consortium (OCC) Secretariat, a consortium hosted at the TRCA, has been requested by York Region staff to develop York Region's Climate Change Action and Implementation Plans in support of their climate adaptation and mitigation initiatives into 2019. Moved by: Jack Ballinger Seconded by: Jack Heath WHEREAS the Ontario Climate Consortium (OCC), a partnership program founded by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and York University, and supported by several academic institutions, has been involved in leading collaborative action on climate change since 2011, working closely with conservation authorities, government agencies, municipal partners, academic institutions, private sector and non-government organizations; AND WHEREAS OCC and TRCA has been supporting the Regional Municipality of York since 2014 with their climate change initiatives and have recently been requested by York Region staff to support the development of their Climate Change Action Plan; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT TRCA staff, performing work in support of OCC, be authorized to enter into an agreement between York Region and TRCA to support the Region with the development of a climate change action plan, which will encompass mitigation and adaptation initiatives from both a municipal corporate and community -wide perspective; AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take such action as is necessary to implement this work including the signing and execution of a contract, documents, and or service agreements between TRCA and York Region related to the above. CARRIED BACKGROUND Overview of the Ontario Climate Consortium (OCC) The OCC is a coordinated network of academia, public and private sectors in Ontario founded by TRCA and York University in 2011. Collectively, the OCC responds to the challenges of a changing climate through collaboration that brings flexibility, scalable capacity, academic expertise, and an end-user driven approach. Anchoring the network is the OCC Secretariat made up of TRCA staff with deep networks in communities of research, policy and practice as well as subject matter expertise across the mitigation/adaptation spectrum. The Secretariat's primary roles are to: 1. Facilitate interdisciplinary and multi -sector partnerships that develop knowledge; and 2. Translate and mobilize that knowledge to OCC's local and regional partners to support climate action. 3. Provide unique project management services in an academic/policy/practice collaborative context to ensure effective implementation and dissemination of outputs from partnerships. OCC's mission and mandate is to support the transition to low carbon, climate resilient communities in Ontario through the generation and mobilization of knowledge that enables effective climate change action. OCC actively collaborates with municipal partners, academics and Conservation Ontario (a current member of OCC's Governing Council) to facilitate collaboration with other Conservation Authorities as needed. In all activities, OCC strives to support the development and implementation of evidence -informed climate change policy and innovative practices while aiming to improve the degree of consistent application of best practices and knowledge. Overview of Climate Change Activities with TRCA's Municipal Partners In the TRCA Jurisdiction, OCC has led and/or supported numerous partnership projects in support of municipal partners, including but not limited to: • Completion of climate change vulnerability assessments on natural systems, agriculture, community services and assets, and the stormwater system in the Region of Peel and City of Vaughan; • Provision of climate projections and information to municipal partners, including York Region, the Region of Peel, Town of Caledon and City of Mississauga; • Engagement of municipal partner staff to raise awareness, build capacity and to discuss climate change risk to municipal services (City of Mississauga, Region of Peel, York Region, Town of Richmond Hill); • Support to Durham Region in the evaluation of natural heritage policies and plans in light of climate change, and in scoping vulnerability analyses and mapping for road segments. • Developing GIS -based assessments of renewable energy generation potential at the Regional scale in York and Peel regions • Providing guidance on the incorporation of climate change issues into Official Plans, and related land use planning policies. Summary of Previous Climate Change Activities in Support of York Region Since 2014, OCC and TRCA have been supporting York Region on initiatives related to climate change from both a mitigation and adaptation perspective. This partnership between staff began when OCC leveraged funding and expertise from their network - namely the Great Lakes Integrated Sciences and Assessment (GLISA) organization based out of Michigan. This funding was used to develop high quality, comprehensive climate trends (historically) and future projections specific to York Region. In 2015 and 2016, a vulnerability assessment framework for York Region was developed. More specifically, climate data and projections that were developed were illustrated and used in an updated, more refined Risk Assessment Tool licensed from the City of Toronto. This tool spurred the completion of a vulnerability and risk assessment case study in the City of Vaughan within York Region, which has produced excellent lessons learned and findings now being shared across ourjurisdiction and beyond. TRCA's partnership with York Region on climate change has also involved staff training and capacity building efforts. More recently, staff have been involved in discussions and initiatives related to climate change planning in York Region. In 2017, a "scoping workshop" was hosted to A • convene senior staff from the internal climate change working group at the Region to brainstorm, refine (1) vulnerability assessment systems/sectors of interest to the Region, (2) the level of detail that may be needed to assess vulnerability, and (3) to produce a "road map" that illustrate key components of climate action planning based on lessons learned from other municipalities. In early 2018, staff collaborated to undertake a "rapid corporate climate change risk assessment". This has involved engaging staff across all departments in the Region to discuss how climate change may pose risks to their services, to prioritize these risks, and to confirm areas or systems that may require vulnerability assessments to be undertaken. Staff also collaborated with York Region municipalities on funding applications, most recently securing FCM Municipal Climate Innovation Program (MCIP) funding to enable a feasibility study of Local Improvement Charges (LICs) to enable existing building retrofits in the City of Vaughan and York Region. LICs are a financial mechanism that can be used by municipalities and/or property owners that are paid in addition to municipal taxes for a specific purpose - typically to implement improvement projects such as renewable energy improvements. This project will undertake research and seek to develop the policy and business case for the use of LICs in the context of Vaughan and York Region. RATIONALE A number of climate change related policies, plans and strategies are in development or are being scoped among TRCA's partner municipalities. Peel Region, for example, has been leading climate change initiatives for many years and has established the Peel Climate Change Strategy (2011), the Peel Climate Change Community Partnership which includes representatives from the Region, lower tier municipalities and CAs. e. Similarly, Durham Region released a community climate adaptation plan (2016) through the work of numerous working groups over the past few years, in which TRCA participated in scoping and developing content. Durham Region is also developing a Regional Community Energy Plan. The City of Toronto is in the process of developing a Resilience Framework through funding received from the Rockefeller Foundation, and has numerous other climate -related policies and plans (e.g., TransformTO). TRCA staff from OCC Secretariat, Sustainability Technologies Evaluation Program (STEP), Research and Knowledge Management, Watersheds, and Engineering Services, continue to actively participate in these initiatives, providing project management and subject matter expertise as needed. Lower tier municipalities are similarly moving towards developing plans and policies to address climate change mitigation and/or adaptation corporately and for their communities. Notable municipalities in this space at present include the City of Mississauga, City of Brampton, Town of Caledon, City of Vaughan, Town of Richmond Hill, Town of Ajax, among others. While specific methods and approaches are not necessarily consistent, opportunities exist for TRCA staff to support partner municipalities in these initiatives to bring alignment at a regional scale and apply tried and tested evidence- based information and approaches Furthermore, there is opportunity for TRCA to support Regional climate change initiatives emerging from these policies and plans once they have been completed or when they require updating (e.g., implementing actions within York Region's plan, or supporting Regional municipalities in the update of their Official Plans as appropriate, which are required to be reviewed and updated every five years as per the Planning Act). FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding associated with the completion of this scope of work would be provided by York Region to TRCA (approximately $145,000 before taxes) in a fee-for-service contract to support staff time spent on this project. Staff in Corporate Services at TRCA will review and approve the service level agreement drafted for this scope of work subject to Board Authority approval of this item. 450 DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Information that would be developed as part of the climate change action plan would allow York Region to establish short term, medium term and longer term climate change priorities, with a lens specifically on feasibility and implementation in collaboration with lower tier municipalities and CA partners. The scope of work to develop a climate change action plan is estimated to take approximately one year to complete. Opportunities also exist to leverage other TRCA staff expertise to deliver on key project milestones. Major deliverables and milestones associated with the scope are meant to dovetail among a series of other York Region -led initiatives (e.g., a community energy plan, Regional Official Plan Amendment, York Public Health vulnerability assessment, etc.): Current State Analysis • Assess and analyze current climate change practices, including benchmarking across York region lower -tier municipalities and other peer jurisdictions; • Identify gaps in policy or areas for future research, data or information needs; • Conduct a Gap Analysis of national, provincial, regional and local policy and programs related to climate mitigation and adaptation; • Develop a Red -Amber -Green (RAG) analysis to assess the progress by the Region and its lower tier municipalities; • Targeted interviews with other peer and international municipal jurisdictions to assess best practices; and • Prepare a current state report/discussion paper for the Region. Community Climate Change Risks and Opportunity Scan • Engaging community leaders to conduct a "community climate change risk and opportunity scan" to inform high level content within the action plan; and • Facilitation of workshop sessions among community stakeholders for input. Plan Development • Hosting workshops among York Region staff to prioritize and refine draft content; and • Developing a climate change action plan and an implementation plan for the Region.
