Dear Chair and Members of the Authority
Item 7.2
ROUGE VALLEY CONSERVATION CENTRE
ROUGE VALLEY FOUNDATION
The Rouge Valley Foundation (RVF) has a long history in the Rouge, as an organization we began in 1984, but the families connected
to RVF have been here much longer, some living in the Rouge since the mid 1800's. The RVF pre -dates all existing Park staff and plans
to be here long after the current staff retire or moved on to new things. It is this connection to the Rouge and its ecosystems, and the
deeply held sense of place that allowed the community to come together to fight for the protection of the Pearse House (Rouge Valley
Conservation Centre) and the Rouge Valley from development and other urban pressures. The intent of which was to preserve the area
as a wilderness park, which puts nature and its cultural history first, supporting the ideal of preserving its ecological integrity.
At this point in the new Rouge National Urban Park's development, we are formally requesting that a formal Memorandum Of
Understanding (MOU) and firm partnership agreement be finalized between RVF and Parks Canada before the land that the Rouge
Valley Conservation Centre (Pearse House) sits on is conveyed to Parks Canada. We would like this to be undertaken in order for us to
get a better understanding of what is being asked of us, how it will affect our programs, our daily operations, events, interactions with
the public and most importantly, the financial costs that may be incurred due to these changes — new additional payments (e.g. lease
amount, licence fees, services, etc.) and losses (e.g. grants, services, etc.).
We at the RVF have spent 34 years protecting the Rouge and providing educational programs and events to the public, and over a
million dollars, moving, renovating, restoring and up -keeping the Rouge Valley Conservation Centre (Pearse House) and the grounds for
25 years and counting. To suddenly be told that our home, which we paid for and maintain, is being transferred to another party and to
have no choice in the matter, being omitted from discussions that, in large part, determines what happens to us and the house that we
love and the grounds that we have taken care of for the last quarter century, is a shock.
We understand that Parks Canada has an interest in Rouge Valley Conservation Centre (Pearse House) and our grounds so that it can
be part of the cultural heritage of the National Park but they were willing to forgo transfer of Valleyhalla, a more culturally significant
house than Pearse House. We believe that with our many decades long legacy in the Rouge, our historical maintenance and care for
the building and its grounds, our investments both financially in the way of over a million dollars and the many, many hours of time
we have invested into our place -based organization, that we must continue to operate as we always have out of the Rouge Valley
Conservation Centre (Pearse House). If we had been given the opportunity, we would have preferred to be the ones who the land and
building were being transferred to, seeing as it has been deemed surplus property to both the TRCA and Toronto Zoo and given our
longstanding investments in the property and the Rouge. But, we were never consulted.

Although charities are viewed as a lesser business operation, we are a business nevertheless. The RVF has contributed countless hours and
millions of dollars since our inception to help protect, and restore the park, as well as conduct our environmental education programs and
events. As a business we require an understanding of the operating environment as well as an understanding of the rules and conditions in
which we will be operating. At this point we have only just received a rough first draft of an unbinding Letter of Intent from Parks Canada on
Tuesday May 22, 2018, and we have not had adequate opportunity for all of our Board of Directors to review and comment on this document.
As this is only a starting point to a more formalized agreement which will define our operating environment and conditions, it is important
that the land not be transferred until a formal agreement is in place, as a letter of intent that has no legal status and does not offer a secure
operating environment. As such, we have deemed a simple letter of intent to be inappropriate and inadequate, given the proposed changes
will ultimately define the future of our organization.
While we have not yet been offered an MOU from Parks Canada, it is our understanding that a number of other MOU's have been developed
and/or signed with the Toronto Zoo, University of Toronto Scarborough Campus and Cedar Arena. We do not see it in good faith that an MOU
has been developed and signed with Cedar Arena and our organization has not been given equal consideration. The RVF has made hugely
significant contributions to the Rouge over the years, as well as our legal standing as a registered Canadian Charity.
When the roles are reversed, and we seek to do a basic tree planting in the Park, we have to sign a permit to enter, carry anywhere from
2-5 million dollars in liability insurance, develop a planting plan that has to be reviewed and approved amongst several other legal
obligations. The TRCA, Toronto Zoo, and Parks Canada would never accept a letter of intent from us as being acceptable for a simple task
like a tree planting. To carry on a business with no legal assurances for our future puts our organization in a very precarious position, and
it is unacceptable as a business practice, and is one that the TRCA, Toronto Zoo and Parks Canada would never accept themselves.
In closing, we ask that the decision regarding our future be delayed a little longer in order to give us adequate time to get proper documents
from Parks Canada, to look further into the impacts of such a huge proposed change and to properly discuss all of these impacts with our full
Board of Directors. We hope that you understand our concerns and appreciate all that we have done for the Rouge, the Pearse House and the
public and we hope that you will in turn show us some generosity by providing us with more time to sort out all that is being asked of us.
Sincerely,
p.p. Serena Lawrie

THE MOTION WAS CARRIED
RATIONALE
Enclosed in the Attachment is the recommended 2018 Budget, which is composed of operating
and capital components. The budget will be presented to the Authority for approval at its
meeting scheduled to be held on May 25, 2018.
Municipal Approvals
Estimates are prepared in the summer and fall of each year for submission to TRCA's municipal
funding partners. Staff meets with municipal staff throughout the budget process and
presentations are made to municipal bodies as requested. In the case of Peel Region, TRCA
works closely with staff at Credit Valley and Halton conservation authorities to align budget
information and requirements. A similar process occurs with York Region where TRCA works
closely with the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority. In Durham Region, TRCA staff
works with five conservation authorities to align budgets and financial submissions to meet the
Region of Durham requirements. TRCA's submissions to the City of Toronto for capital and
operating levy are reviewed with Municipal Finance and Toronto Water staff.
187
The funding identified in the recommended apportionment of the levy reflects the amounts that
the municipal funding partners have approved in their 2018 budgets. Contributions from the City
of Toronto and the regional municipalities of Durham, Peel and York have received council
approval. The Township of Adjala-Tosorontio and the Town of Mono have been advised of
TRCA's levy request.
Notice of Meeting
As required by regulation, TRCA has provided 30 days written notice to its member municipalities
of the date of the meeting at which the Authority will consider the municipal levy. At the May 25,
2018 Authority meeting a recorded vote on the budget recommendations, including adoption of
the non-matching municipal levy, is required. The weighted voting procedure prescribed by
regulation will be used.
In the current year, the budget approval process was delayed to coincide with approval of the pay
equity and compensation report, which updated TRCA's operating and capital budgets.
MNRF Transfer Payments
The 2018 provincial transfer payments to conservation authorities, which must be matched with
levy, have not been announced. The 2018 operating budget includes a provision for Ministry of
Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) transfer payments at an amount equal to the funding
received in 2017 or $774,000.
2018 Budget Classification
In order to meet the provisions of the CA Act and the regulations made thereunder, it is necessary
to distinguish between general levy (operating) and benefitting levy (capital and special projects).
However, due to the unique budgetary requirements of each of the four major participating
municipalities, uniformity in the categorization of expenditure between operating and capital is
difficult to maintain. The budget presentation format is consistent with the prior year's format.
Due to changes to the CA Act there is a potential impact on the format of the 2019 operating and
capital budget.
The budget includes the following components:
• an expenditure summary which is aligned with the financial statement presentation (i.e.,
includes amortization, but excludes planned expenditures on tangible capital assets); and
• a summary of expenditures by object classification, also consistent with the financial
statement presentation.
Operating Budget Expenditure Overview
Salary/Wage Guideline
Within the pay equity and compensation report brought to the Authority in June 2018 is a wage
increase of 1.25%, effective June 10, 2018 which has been accommodated within the 2018
budget. In addition, the Corporate Services budget includes $400,000 to mitigate the projected
compensation adjustment impact.
TRCA cost of living adjustment (COLA) over the last twenty years has averaged 1.93% per year
which approximates the consumer price index (CPI) which averaged 1.92% over the same period.
As a function of the corporate services re -alignment Finance staff are preparing, for the first time,
to develop multi-year budgets for the upcoming term of council (2019-2022). By setting COLA at
2% for the next four years, the budget process will become substantially more efficient as
divisions will have improved vision into the primary costs driving the organization, which is their
staffing. Even if actual CPI fluctuates from TRCA's COLA during the period, the difference is not
expected to be material in either direction and will be re -assessed prior to the next four year cycle.

Staffing Levels and Costs
The full time equivalents (FTE) included in the operating (446.7) and capital budgets (366.2) are
projected to be 812.9 for 2018 as compared to 771.2 for 2017. A summary of FTEs by service
area is found on page 5, in section I of the budget document.
Wage and benefit costs within the operating budget amount to $38.7 million or 80.5% of the gross
expenditures, representing an increase of about $2.9 million or 7.9% over 2017 budget. This
amount includes the 1.25% cost of living adjustment noted above as well as associated benefit
costs. Also provided for are the cost of the new FTEs and the annualization of positions hired in
2017.
Gross Operating Expenditures/Revenues
The 2018 gross operating expenditure budget is $48.1 million, an increase of $3.3 million or 7.3%
over the 2017 budget. The increase in expenditures will be financed by additional general levy
of $0.4 million and additional self -generated revenues of $2.9 million.
Operating Budget - General Levy
Non -CVA General Lew
Each of TRCA's participating municipalities has its own unique budget requirements and annual
budgetary pressures. TRCA worked with municipal staff to adhere to each of their available
operating funding constraints, as permitted by TRCA's funding formula. To this end, the 2018
operating levy includes a provision, totaling $613,500 (2017 - $497,300) referred to as "Non -CVA
Levy". Under the provisions of the Act, TRCA makes a general levy against all of its participating
municipalities to fund its general operating requirements. With regard to the portion of the levy
that is for "administration costs" as defined in the Act, TRCA must use CVA as the basis of
apportionment. With respect to the balance of the general levy which is raised for "maintenance
costs" a conservation authority may apportion benefit using another allocation method that is
approved in adopting the budget. In essence, the non -CVA levy adjusts the amount of the
general levy that relates to maintenance costs that would otherwise be apportioned using CVA as
the basis and allows TRCA to meet the unique funding guidelines of each participating
municipality.
The non -CVA levy apportionment applies to the following municipalities:

Property Taxes on Conservation Lands
TRCA is required to pay property taxes on its lands, with some exceptions. One exception is
where TRCA has received an exemption or partial exemption under the Conservation Land Tax
Incentive Program (CLTIP). Another exception occurs in the City of Toronto, where park and
conservation lands are exempt from property taxation because the City exercises its rights under
the City of Toronto Act to exempt them. In the regions of Peel, York and Durham, the Town of
Mono and the Township of Adjala-Tosorontio, property taxes are paid on conservation lands not
included under CLTIP. In order to be equitable to our municipal partners, TRCA allocates the
cost of property taxes to the participating municipality where the property is situated. This is
reflected as an adjustment to the apportionment of the general levy, in the amounts noted in the
chart below. The sole exception to this practice is provided for property taxes paid on rental
properties, where the cost of taxes is recovered from rent collected by TRCA from third parties.
In 2018, there is included a grant from the Region of York and the City of Vaughan in the
aggregate amount of $225,000 to cover the estimated taxes for the interim head office at 101
Exchange Way in Vaughan, in lieu of a tax adjustment to the general levy.

Interest Lew Adjustment
In 2017 an adjustment to the Toronto special levy commenced to account for the deferral of
Toronto's contribution for TRCA's administrative Head Office project. Each of the other
participating municipalities commenced contributions to the Project starting in 2017, whereas The
City of Toronto will not make contributions until 2023. In order to maintain equity for the
participating municipalities Toronto has agreed to make an additional special levy contribution
over and above the approved TRCA request, equivalent to the foregone interest based on
TRCA's yield on investments. However, once borrowing for the Project commences the
adjustment will be based on the actual rate of borrowing. Commencing in 2023, Toronto will
increase the size of its payments to take into account the shorter period over which its total
contribution will be amortized.
General Levy
After giving consideration to all of the factors that affect the general levy, TRCA requires total
general levy funding in the amount of $14,321,800, representing an increase over 2017 of 2.82%.
The general levy has been allocated to the participating municipalities as follows:

Capital projects are primarily funded by TRCA's municipal partners and, with few exceptions,
these capital projects are undertaken within the funding municipality's jurisdiction. These capital
projects include:
• Erosion control projects (Peel, Toronto and York);
• The Living City Action Plan program (Toronto);
• Waterfront development (Toronto, Durham and Peel);
• Natural heritage regeneration projects (Peel and York);
• Black Creek Pioneer Village restoration program (Toronto);
• Flood control works;
• Peel Region Climate Change project;
• Conservation land care (Peel and York and Durham).
A few capital programs are generally benefitting. These include:
• Information technology (IT) - levy based on CVA, used to fund common capital IT needs
across the organization;
• Greenspace securement — levy based on CVA, used to acquire greenspace in support of
official plans and TRCA's plans and strategies;
• Regulation and planning policy — levy based on CVA, used to develop streamlined
protocols for planning and permitting processes;
• Head office administration building and major facilities retrofit - levy based on CVA, used
for major administrative capital expenditures.
There are a number of projects which are funded on a watershed basis, including:
• Climate research and adaptation;
• Ecosystem science;
• Regional monitoring;
• Watershed studies and report cards;
• Flood mapping plans.
Certain capital programs are uniquely funded:
• Land acquisition - major acquisitions leverage funding available from participating
municipalities, local municipalities, land sale and easement proceeds, and other sources;
• The source water protection program is funded entirely by the Province of Ontario;
• Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation (TWRC) projects - funded directly by
TWRC through delivery agreements, including Don Mouth Naturalization and Port Lands
Flood Protection Project;
• Groundwater strategies and management - costs shared equally by regions of Peel, York,
Durham and the City of Toronto.
Municipal Project Agreements:
• TRCA works with its municipal partners, including many lower tier municipalities, to
undertake special projects wherein TRCA has significant, specialized expertise. These
special projects include erosion work, construction of trails, bridges and wetlands, and
tree planting. This funding varies from year to year and is completely separate from the
municipal operating and capital levy funding.

Summary
The 2017 financial summary and audited financial statements will be provided at the June
meeting of the Budget/Audit Advisory Board. The 2017 actual financial figures are not final as
the audit is currently ongoing. The allocation of the surplus between operating and capital
reserves will be considered with the approval of the audited financial statements.

RES.#A67/18 - AMENDMENT OF CONTRACT FOR PROFESSIONAL SECURITY
GUARD SERVICES
Contract amendment with Knights on Guard. Request for a contract
amendment for Professional Security Guard Services with Knights on
Guard to revise the term expiry from June 10, 2018 to January 31, 2019.
Moved by: Jennifer Innis
Seconded by: David Barrow
THAT the contract for Professional Security Guard Services for Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority (TRCA) public use facilities, campgrounds, offices and select
properties that expires on June 10, 2018 be amended to end on January 31, 2019 at a total
cost of $197,352, plus 10% contingency, plus HST, pending approval by both parties.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
In 2014, TRCA contracted uniformed security services to act as a deterrent and to handle
situations that threaten facilities, infrastructure, visitors and staff. There are two types of services
required by TRCA: Annual Services are performed daily between January — December; and
Seasonal Services are performed between April - October.
The scope of work performed by security personnel includes:
• Foot and car patrols to deter undesirable behaviour and incidents. Patrols include staggered
weekday, weekend and statutory holiday periods;
• Spot checks;
• Alarm response;
• Responding to calls for service and/ or complaints regarding unauthorized activities occurring
on the premises across all facilities;
• Security services during special events;
• Responding to emergency incidents across all facilities;
• Providing safety escorts for individuals, as required;
• Ensuring all serious criminal occurrences are reported to the police; and
• Attending medical calls and providing emergency first aid when required.
Annual Services (January — December) are required for alarm response, patrols, and spot checks
across TRCA offices, rental properties and education facilities. In addition, security coverage at
Black Creek Pioneer Village and 5 Shoreham Drive is required sixteen (16) hours per day, seven
(7) days a week annually.
TRCA requires Seasonal Services (April — October) for Heart Lake Conservation Area (CA),
Petticoat Creek CA, Boyd CA, Kortright Centre, Boyd Centre, Restoration Services Centre, Bolton
Camp, Bond Lake, Phillips Lake, Indian Line Campground, Albion Hills Campground, and Glen
Rouge Campground.
The security services have been performed by Knights on Guard since June 2014, as were
approved at Authority Meeting #04-13, RES A83/14:
227
"THAT the contract to provide uniformed security services for Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority (TRCA) public use facilities, campgrounds, offices and select
properties for a three year (2014-2017) be awarded to Knights On Guard Protective
Services at a total cost not to exceed $722,929.68, plus 15% contingency, plus HST it
being the highest ranked proposal meeting TRCA specifications;
THAT an option one year extension at the discretion of TRCA staff be available at an
additional cost not to exceed $240,976.56 plus 15% contingency, plus HST,
AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take whatever action may
be required to implement the contract, including the obtaining of necessary approvals and
the signing and execution of any documents."
Knights on Guard responds to an average of 70 alarms, conducts approximately 300 spot checks,
and delivers over 9,000 hours of guard service each year.
RATIONALE
The initial term of the existing contract with Knights on Guard was until June 10, 2017 and TRCA
subsequently exercised its option for a one year renewal until June 10, 2018. Staff recommends
that the existing contract be amended to conclude on January 31, 2019. This will allow for
continuity and uninterrupted security services while requests for proposals are sought for a
security services provider.
The existing security service provider contract is complex and spans multiple geographic
locations. A request for proposals requires input and coordination from several TRCA internal
stakeholders and the contract transition period will entail close management, coordination and
feedback monitoring from TRCA staff.
Therefore, staff recommends that the request for proposals provide a contract start for February
1, 2019, allowing appropriate time for coordination of the request for proposals and operational
issues, prior to the start of a busy operating season in 2019.
TRCA has met with Knights on Guard and obtained pricing for the proposed amendment — this
pricing incorporates a $2/hour wage increase resulting from Bill 148. The cost breakdown of an
eight (8) month contract extension is as follows:
Cost Summary for KOG Professional Security Guard Services June 2018 — January 2019

$197,352, plus 10% contingency, plus HST.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Funds have been identified for contract services within respective operating budgets from TRCA's
municipal funding partners.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Upon Authority approval, TRCA staff will execute an amendment to the existing contract to now
conclude on January 31, 2019.
Subsequently, TRCA staff will issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a new contract that will
commence on February 1, 2019. Staff anticipate requesting approval of the award of the contract
prior to the end of the current year.

exceed $52,388.70 plus HST;
AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take all necessary actions

CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Regional Municipality of Peel, Credit Valley Conservation, and Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority (TRCA), are collaborating in the development of a new natural waterfront
park amenity along the eastern waterfront in the City of Mississauga, known as the Lakeview
Waterfront Connection. The project goals and objectives are to: provide public access to and
along the waterfront, recreate lost coastal wetlands, allow fish access to Serson Creek,
re-establish extensive new meadow and forest coastal habitats, and to soften the existing
shoreline by increasing the amount of beach habitat within the area.
230
Contracts 10003792, 10003793, 10003794, 10003795, and 10003797 were previously approved
at Authority Meeting #3/17, held on April 21, 2017 under Resolution #A66/17 as follows:
• Glenn Windrem Trucking be awarded Contract #10003792 for the supply and delivery of
3,875 tonnes of 225 — 450mm rip -rap for the unit cost of $31.80 per tonne and a total cost
not to exceed $123,225.00, plus HST;
• Glenn Windrem Trucking be awarded Contract #10003793 for the supply and delivery of
2,485 tonnes of 0.4 — 0.8 tonne non -stackable armourstone for the unit cost of $30.80 per
tonne and a total cost not to exceed $76,538.00, plus HST;
• Atlantis Marine Construction Canada Inc be awarded Contract #10003794 for the supply
and delivery of 6,815 tonnes of 2 — 5 tonne stackable armourstone for the unit cost of
$51.00 per tonne and a total cost not to exceed $347,565.00, plus HST;
• Glenn Windrem Trucking be awarded Contract #10003795 for the supply and delivery of
6,450 tonnes of 3 — 5 tonne non -stackable armourstone for the unit cost of $45.50 per
tonne and a total cost not to exceed $293,475.00, plus HST; and
• Atlantis Marine Construction Canada Inc. be awarded Contract #10003797 for the supply
and delivery of 1,350 tonnes of 6 — 8 tonne armourstone with flat bottom and top pieces for
the unit cost of $51.00 per tonne and a total cost not to exceed $68,850.00, plus HST
these suppliers being the lowest bidders meeting TRCA specifications.
The original contracts were based on staff's estimate of the quantity of aggregate needed for
2017, which included the construction of the revetment west of Serson Creek. However, due to
delays in the supply of rubble fill material and lost time and materials from several severe storm
events, the west revetment is still under construction and additional material is now required to
complete this project deliverable. As the schedule now anticipates completing the west revetment
in June 2018 and then site staff are scheduled to immediately commence the construction of
another revetment on the east side of Serson Creek on or after July 1, 2018, it is preferable to
extend the existing contracts to capture the quantity of material needed for both items of work. By
doing so, potential disruptions associated with new suppliers or other issues that may arise from
retendering mid -year can be avoided.
RATIONALE
Both suppliers have requested a nominal increase of 1.7% over the 2017 tendered rates to
account for inflation. Staff subsequently compared the proposed rates with TRCA's vendor of
record (VOR) rates to see whether the increased rates demonstrate good value, the results of
which are summarized as follows:
Extension to Contract #10003792: 225mm-450mm rip rap
Extension unit rate (i.e. with 1.7% increase): $32.34 per tonne
VOR unit rate comparison: $32.00 per tonne*
*Closest ranges are 150mm-300mm and 300mm-600mm rip rap; note that this unit rate is
expected to increase in July 2018 by 2% (approximately $32.64 per tonne) with the VOR contract
extension
231
Extension to Contract #10003793: 0.4 - 0.8 tonne non -stackable armourstone
Extension unit rate: $31.32 per tonne
VOR unit rate comparison: $33.00 per tonne*
*400-800mm rip rap
Extension to Contract #10003794: 2-5 tonne stackable armourstone
Extension unit rate: $51.87 per tonne
VOR unit rate comparison: $64.00 per tonne*
*2-4 tonne stackable armourstone
Extension to Contract #10003795: 3-5 tonne non -stackable armourstone
Extension unit rate: $46.27 per tonne
VOR unit rate comparison: $50-55 per tonne*
*Not in VOR; based on recent past procurements
Contract #10003797: 6-8 tonne stackable armourstone
Extension unit rate: $51.87 per tonne
VOR unit rate comparison: $60.50 per tonne
Through this comparative evaluation process, staff have determined that the proposed unit rate
increases are fair and of good value. Furthermore, the suppliers have done a satisfactory job
during the course of the original contract period. The extensions are expected to result in an
overall cost savings to the Lakeview Project by avoiding a new tendering process for these
materials.
Based on this rationale, TRCA staff recommend that contracts 10003792, 10003793, 10003794,
10003795, and 10003797 be extended with the proposed 1.7% unit rate increases and to the limit
of the quantities described in the Recommendations section to provide the aggregate required for
the remainder of 2018.
This project to create a new park along Lakeview's shoreline is in line with TRCA's 10 -Year
Strategic Plan #3 'rethink greenspace to maximize its value', Strategic Plan #4 'create complete
communities that integrate nature and the built environment', and strategic plan #7 'build
partnerships and new business models'. These strategic plans are applicable as the Lakeview
project will engage more people with nature, which will be integrated with the built environment,
as well as strengthen TRCA's partnership with the Region of Peel.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Funding for this project is available from the Region of Peel, Account 252-52.

RES.#A69/18 - NAME CHANGE OF THE LIVING CITY FOUNDATION
Request for Endorsement. Endorsement for changing the name of The
Living City Foundation to Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation.
Moved by: Jennifer Innis
Seconded by: David Barrow
WHEREAS The Living City Foundation (the Foundation) exists to connect, engage and
inspire people and organizations to donate and support the work of Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority (TRCA);
AND WHEREAS the Foundation's current name does not clearly convey its role as the
fundraising and charitable arm of TRCA;
AND WHEREAS The Foundation's Board of Directors has carried a motion to rename the
Foundation to better align the organization with TRCA;
THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT The Living City Foundation proposal to be
renamed Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation be endorsed;
AND FURTHER THAT the name change include transition measures including but not
limited to filing a business name registration, rebranding promotional items, filing
supplementary letters patent to affect the legal name change at a time to be determined,
and communicating the name change to stakeholders and donors to ensure a smooth
transition.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Foundation is a registered charity that exists to build support for the work of TRCA. It raises
money for TRCA projects and programs that are making communities in the Toronto region
cleaner, greener and healthier.
The Foundation was established in 1961 as The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Foundation. It was renamed The Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto in 1990. In late
2010, a rebranding and renaming exercise was undertaken. This resulted in the change of the
Foundation's name and logo to what it is today. These changes were approved by the Foundation
Board of Directors on October 6, 2010, and endorsed by the Authority on February 25, 2011.
Although the Foundation has realized many accomplishments since its rebrand, its name has
created confusion both within TRCA and outside of the organization. The current name abstracts
the Foundation's focus and reach (i.e., conservation in Toronto and surrounding regions), and
fails to clearly articulate the relationship between the Foundation and TRCA. As the Foundation
wishes to better convey its purpose through its name, staff proposes that the Foundation name be
changed to "Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation".
At The Living City Foundation's Annual General Meeting #1/18, held on May 2, 2018, Resolution
#DR10/18 was approved as follows:
THAT the proposed name change be approved;
233
AND THAT the name change include transition measures including, but not limited to,
filing a business name registration, changing letterhead, filing of the supplementary letters
patent to affect the legal name change at a time to be determined, and communicating the
name change to stakeholders and donors to ensure a smooth transition.
RATIONALE
Commonly, public foundations that exist to raise money for an associated organization strive to
show similarity in name. Some examples include the Toronto Public Library Foundation, the
Credit Valley Conservation Foundation, and the Sunnybrook Hospital Foundation. While the
Foundation is a public foundation whose principal purpose is to raise funds for TRCA, the
relationship between the two entities is not evident based on name alone. This makes it
challenging for donors, prospects and new audiences to easily understand that gifts to the
Foundation support the vital conservation work of TRCA. By showing a tangible link to TRCA, the
proposed name change will help the Foundation better convey its purpose to audiences.
The proposed name change also has the potential to help the Foundation build its brand and
reach new prospects. TRCA is internationally recognized and has a growing network of partners
and supporters across Canada. Many of these supporters know little about the Foundation and its
role as the fundraising and charitable arm of TRCA. If the Foundation can more closely align its
brand with TRCA, it will be well-positioned to gain the trust and respect of prospects who applaud
the work of TRCA but are unaware of the Foundation and the many opportunities for giving.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
All costs associated with the renaming will be funded through the Foundation's operating budget,
account number 650-01-316.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
With Authority endorsement, staff will carry out transition measures including but not limited to:
(1) filing a business name registration;
(2) Rebranding and updating marketing materials;
(3) Filing the supplementary letters patent to affect the legal name change at a time to be
determined; and
(4) Communicating the name change to stakeholders and donors to ensure a smooth
transition.
Staff will carry out the name change process with minimal disruption to the Foundation's
campaigns and day-to-day operations.
The concept of "The Living City" will remain part of the Foundation's communications and
fundraising (e.g., The Living City Environmental Dinner). It will be used strategically to show how
Foundation -funded projects and programs contribute to TRCA's broader vision for the Toronto
region.

RES.#A70/18 - THE LIVING CITY FOUNDATION 2018 BUDGET
Approval of 2018 budget for The Living City Foundation.
Moved by: Jennifer Innis
Seconded by: David Barrow
THAT The Living City Foundation's (LCF) 2018 budget be approved by the Authority;
AND FURTHER THAT information on 2018 funding allocations for the Meadoway project
be received.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Living City Foundation is the fundraising and charitable arm of Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority (TRCA). Since 1961, the Foundation has raised over $40 million to
support TRCA initiatives.
On May 3, 2017, TRCA and the Foundation entered into a Management and Administrative
Services agreement to support the common goals of both organizations. At Authority Meeting
#5/17, held on June 23, 2017, Resolution #A125/17 was approved, in part, as follows:
"...THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the Management and Administrative
Services agreement as well as updates regarding the two major fundraising campaigns be
received."
The agreement defines how TRCA employees will be providing management and administrative
services to LCF to promote a harmonious day-to-day relationship between the two organizations.
Under this agreement, the Foundation and TRCA have agreed to work collaboratively at the end
of each calendar year to prepare a budget for the following calendar year and to submit this
budget to their respective boards for approval.
The purpose of this report is to: (a) present The Living City Foundation's 2018 budget for Authority
approval, and (b) share budget updates related to an improvement in the Foundation's operating
deficit and to recently announced funding for The Meadoway.
Updates are as follows with The Meadoway deliverables and budget outlined in Attachment 1,
while the Foundation's 2018 budget for Authority approval is outlined in Attachment 2. At The
Living City Foundation Board of Directors Meeting #6/17, held on March 28, 2018, Resolution
#DR69/17 was approved as follows:
"THAT The 2018 Preliminary Budget be approved."
The Living City Foundation Operating Deficit
For the year -ended December 31, 2016, The Living City Foundation reported an operating deficit
of $446,900, an improvement of $54,900 from the 2015 operating deficit balance of $501,800. For
the year ended December 31, 2017, LCF has an accumulated operating deficit of $103,500, an
improvement of $343,400, of which $187,500 is related to ongoing operations and $155,900 is
related to a one-time transaction explained below.
235
During the year, the Foundation received two significant donations from TACC Construction Ltd.,
previously reported to the Board of Directors on October 11, 2017, in the amounts of $2,598,200
and $1,161,700 for services received by and paid for by TRCA for utility servicing of the Kortright
Centre for Conservation and construction of the Boyd Conservation Area bridge, respectively, in
2017. Previously, no administration fee was proposed to be taken by the Foundation on these
flow-through donations, which is in line with historical practice. However, TRCA was able to
leverage municipal funds toward the Kortright servicing work, to allow for a 6% administration fee
of $155,900 to be taken by the Foundation on the initial $2,598,200 donation. The remaining
funds were paid back to TRCA to recover the costs of the related work.
Based on the 2018 budget prepared by management, it is expected that a surplus of $23,700 will
be realized to further reduce the accumulated operating deficit.
The Meadoway 2018 Funding Allocations
The Meadoway is a transformative, city -building initiative taking place in Toronto. Led by TRCA in
partnership with the City of Toronto and The W. Garfield Weston Foundation, The Meadoway is
transforming 16 kilometres of transmission corridor in Scarborough into one of the largest urban
linear greenspaces in Canada.
On April 11, 2018, Mayor John Tory along with the Directors of The W. Garfield Weston
Foundation and representatives from TRCA and The Living City Foundation jointly announced
The Meadoway at a ceremony in Scarborough. As part of this announcement The W. Garfield
Weston Foundation announced a pledge up to $25 million to support the project as it evolves over
the coming months and years, with a firm commitment of $10 million available immediately, and
with all funds to flow through The Living City Foundation to TRCA and other project partners. The
City of Toronto has committed $6.3 million in its capital budget for infrastructure investments. The
project has a total proposed budget of $85 million, and nearly 40% of the budget has been
pledged to date.
In 2018, work will focus on community engagement and communications, trail development,
landscape designs and the initiation of a feasibility study (in partnership with the Ontario's Ministry
of Transportation) to construct a bridge over Highway 401. Similar to other projects in which The
Living City Foundation raises restricted funding and TRCA staff completes the deliverables,
revenues will be recognized as deliverables are completed. A breakdown of the 2018 deliverables
and corresponding budget implications is outlined in Attachment 1.
91,f-1 L, Eli F11 11111 @14 ra1I*6
Attachment 2 presents The Living City Foundation's 2018 budget, as approved by the
Foundation's Board of Directors, excluding the financial impact of The Meadoway.
Identified in the budget are both restricted revenues (i.e., can only be used to support their
designated purpose) and unrestricted revenues (i.e., can be used to support any purpose).
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Management will create new line items in The Living City Foundation's budget to capture 2018
funding allocations for The Meadoway.
Updates will be provided to the Authority as required.

RES.#A71/18 - YORK REGION INCLUSION CHARTER
Endorsement of York Region Inclusion Charter
Moved by: Jennifer Innis
Seconded by: David Barrow
WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is a member of York
Region's Municipal Diversity and Inclusion Working Group;
AND WHEREAS TRCA's 2013 Strategic Plan, Building The Living City, identifies
engagement of the diverse cultural communities within our watersheds as a core goal;
THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the York Region Inclusion Charter be endorsed.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
York Region is one of the fastest growing and most diverse communities in Canada. As of the
2016 Census, 1.2 million people called York Region home, representing all ages, backgrounds
and interests. York Region communities include people who speak over 120 different languages
and come from 230 distinct ethnic origins. Forty-nine per cent of residents identified themselves
as a visible minority in 2016, and 46 per cent were born outside of Canada. As the population of
York Region grows, so will its diversity. This diversity is recognized as a source of strength, vitality
and economic opportunity and is a key area of focus of the work of TRCA as we strive to achieve
strategic priorities within Building The Living City (2013).
The Inclusion Charter for York Region has been developed by the Municipal Diversity and
Inclusion Group which includes 20 member organizations that serve people who live, work and
visit the region. Co -Chaired by York Region and York Regional Police, this community
collaboration brings together municipalities, police services, hospitals, school boards,
conservation authorities and agencies with a common commitment to welcoming and inclusive
communities.
The Charter has also involved the Community Partnership Council which leads the development
of local strategies to welcome and include newcomers from around the world to York Region
communities. TRCA is an active member of the Community Partnership Council, and participation
in this Council supports TRCA work related to multicultural outreach, bridge training and the
development of community engagement centres. Endorsement of the Charter will begin with
members of the Municipal Diversity and Inclusion Working Group and the Community Partnership
Council, with future endorsement from other sectors including businesses and community
organizations.
The Charter is the result of three rounds of community consultations and discussions with
individuals, organizations, boards, councils and groups. Thousands of individuals and
organizations have been part of its development and it is a strong example of community
collaboration resulting in achieving shared goals.

RATIONALE
The Inclusion Charter model was identified as an effective way to respond positively to rapidly
changing demographics and provide a framework for promoting programs, services, facilities and
workplaces that are inclusive of all people. By endorsing the Inclusion Charter participating
organizations affirm their commitment to becoming increasingly inclusive for employees and
customers alike. The draft TRCA Inclusive Charter is outlined in Attachment 1.
Creating an intentionally inclusive organization offers many benefits including higher employee
engagement, greater opportunity to access and retain talent, innovative thinking, greater
customer experiences as well as the potential for the organization to lift business performance. An
inclusive organization also benefits the community it serves. Inclusive organizations allow
everyone to enjoy programs and services that are responsive to their needs.
240
FINANCIAL DETAILS
There are no anticipated costs associated with TRCA's endorsement of the Inclusion Charter.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Members of the Municipal Diversity and Inclusion Working Group are now bringing the Inclusion
Charter to their councils, boards and senior leadership for endorsement. Most organizations will
endorse the Charter by June, with a goal of endorsement by all members of the Municipal
Diversity and Inclusion Group and Community Partnership Council by early 2019. The Group is
also developing a collective action plan to promote communities that are welcoming and inclusive
of everyone.

RESMA72/18 - REGION OF PEEL COMMUNITY CLIMATE CHANGE PARTNERSHIP
PLAN
Approval in principle of the Region of Peel Community Climate Change
Partnership Plan, and direction for TRCA staff to participate in
implementation
Moved by: Jennifer Innis
Seconded by: David Barrow
WHEREAS the Region of Peel Climate Change Strategy was developed in 2011, at a
regional scale, in collaboration with six partners, including the Region of Peel, area
municipalities and conservation authorities (CA).
WHEREAS the renewal of collaborative efforts of the Region of Peel Community Climate
Change Partnership was approved by Peel Regional Council on September 28, 2017
(Resolution 2017-730);
AND WHEREAS the Region of Peel Community Climate Change Partnership Plan ('the
Plan') is generally consistent with the objectives and actions stated within Toronto and
Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) 10 Year Strategic Plan to address the challenges
of a changing climate;
THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the Region of Peel Community Partnership
Plan be approved, in principle;
THAT staff be directed to continue to work with partners to achieve the desired outcomes
established in the Plan;
AND FURTHER THAT staff report back to the Authority annually regarding progress made
toward these outcomes.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
In 2008, the Region of Peel, working with partners CAs, developed a Service Strategy Business
Plan (SSBP) at the direction of Regional Council that would address climate change adaptation
and mitigation, and significantly advance environmental initiatives in Peel Region. The SSBP
identified climate change as a key priority for the partners to collaboratively address.
Subsequently, in 2011, the City of Brampton, City of Mississauga, Town of Caledon, Credit
Valley Conservation Authority, TRCA and the Region of Peel worked together to develop the
Peel Climate Change Strategy to respond to climate change at the local scale. The strength of
the Strategy was that it built on ongoing and previous plans, policies and actions being
undertaken by the six partners, thereby resulting in immediate actions being possible in several
areas. Through the collaborative efforts of the Peel Community Climate Change Partnership (`the
Partnership'), many of the priority actions outlined in the strategy were implemented, including
the development of a climate trends and futures report, cross sector community climate change
vulnerability assessments, and a community greenhouse gas emissions inventory.
In 2017, the Partnership determined that a renewal of its original commitment was required in
order to achieve greater collective impact over the next five years. Each of the partner
organizations have, or are in the process of developing, their own climate change plans and
initiatives consistent with their organizational mandates. The purpose of the Partnership is to
identify those areas in which strategic collaboration will be most advantageous.
243
To this end, the Partnership has developed a five-year plan organized around the following four
strategies:
1. Low Carbon Communities to reduce community greenhouse gas emissions;
2. Flood Resiliency to reduce flood risk in vulnerable areas;
3. Green Natural Infrastructure to increase tree cover in heat vulnerable areas; and
4. Public Education to communicate to residents the actions that can be taken by
organizations and individuals to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change
Staff has assisted in the scoping and design of these strategies, and has been requested to
continue to participate as a Steering Committee member, as well as implementation team leads
for several of the planned actions.
RATIONALE
TRCA's expertise in assessing the vulnerability of assets to climate change, ongoing
environmental monitoring and management (e.g., natural heritage and hazards), flood plain
management and flood remediation, erosion monitoring and management for municipal
infrastructure, urban forest studies, evaluation of green infrastructure technologies and
community engagement, can be applied through continued participation and collaboration with
Peel and partner organizations to enhance the resiliency of watersheds in TRCA's jurisdiction.
TRCA can also leverage its network of academic researchers in order to produce rigorous and
defensible climate information. Currently, such critical information is being generated by a
collective of interdisciplinary researchers and practitioners from across Ontario, working under
the umbrella of the Ontario Climate Consortium (OCC), for which TRCA serves as the
Secretariat. Services of the OCC are designed to help municipal and industry decision -makers
develop strategic, coordinated and scientifically -informed responses to extreme weather.
Staff participation will also advance TRCA's stated objectives related to climate change in the
2013-2022 Strategic Plan (e.g. Strategic Direction #2).
FINANCIAL DETAILS
TRCA and OCC staff time will be resourced using approved Peel Region climate levy. Additional
funding may be accessed through relevant external grants (e.g. Federation of Canadian
Municipalities), if determined necessary by the Partnership.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
The partner organizations have identified the resources needed to begin implementation of the
Plan. The initial focus will be placed on mapping to identify areas for joint action across Peel in
the following areas:
• Reducing flood risk;
• Increasing the number of healthy trees to reduce surface temperature and increase
provision of other co -benefits (e.g. air quality, water quantity and quantity);
• Increasing the number and use of electric vehicle charging stations on public and private
property; and
• Reducing energy use in residential neighborhoods.
244
Actions planned for 2018 will continue in parallel to the mapping exercise. Attachment 1 contains
a summary including 2018 planned actions. TRCA staff will report on progress to the Authority
annually.

RES.#A73/18 - NAMING OF TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
ASSET
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Trail at the Bolton Camp
Property in the Town of Caledon, Regional Municipality of Peel. Approval to
name TRCA Asset located at 13540 Caledon King Townline South.
Moved by: Jennifer Innis
Seconded by: David Barrow
THAT 1,860 metres of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) owned land at
Bolton Camp in the Town of Caledon (Attachment 1), be officially named "Murray Stewart
Trail";
THAT TRCA staff be directed to erect a sign designating a trail at the Bolton Camp
property as the Murray Stewart Trail;
AND FURTHER THAT the Town of Caledon, Rotary Club of Bolton and Murray Stewart be so
advised.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The subject TRCA-owned lands are located on the Bolton Camp property at 13540 Caledon King
Towline South. TRCA staff was approached by the Rotary Club of Bolton regarding naming the trail
identified as Phase 1 Trail and Phase 2 Trail on the lands (identified in Attachment 1), in honour of
Murray Stewart, a long-time Rotarian member and supporter of the revitalization of Bolton Camp.
TRCA purchased the Bolton Camp lands in 2011 and since then staff has been working with
municipal partners, school boards, community groups and the general public to create a vision for
a renewed Bolton Camp. Through this process, the community has crafted a concept plan for
re -purposing Bolton Camp from its previous use as an overnight summer camp to an outdoor
community centre for participants of all ages, where people come together to learn, live, play and
share in experiences. Community developed and community driven, the new Bolton Camp will
bring the business sector, not -for -profits, social enterprises and others together to provide youth,
artists and entrepreneurs the opportunity to transform this historic landscape into a unique
attraction that will make a significant contribution to increasing the employment and cultural vitality
of the greater Toronto region.
To jump start community use of Bolton Camp, and continue the strong tradition of social equity and
inclusion in the Toronto region, TRCA has been providing employment, training and mentorship
programs on site since 2015. In addition, TRCA staff has been working with community groups and
organizations such as the Rotary Club of Bolton to support such programming and host public
events on site.
Murray Stewart joined Bolton Rotary in June 1968. At that time the Bolton club was part of the
same district as the Toronto Rotary Club. During this time, the buildings at the Bolton Camp site
were being renovated and the Toronto Rotary Club took the lead in raising the funds for this
restoration. Many of the weekly meetings were held in the dining hall building located on the
property.
251
Murray Stewart has lived in Caledon for over 50 years, with his wife, Marnie. He grew up on a
farm on 6th line Albion or Duffy's Lane. Having lived on the farm, his interest and education took
him to the University of Guelph for agricultural programs. He has made a tremendous impact on
the quality of life for Caledon citizens through his involvement with the Rotary Club of Bolton,
numerous boards, task forces and committees such as the Albion Bolton Agricultural Society and
4-H. His longtime career with Canada Packers as the Public Relations Manager also meant he
never forgot about "home". He helped establish the "Canada Packers Quilt Collection" which
travelled to fairs across Ontario and possibly Canada. His most recent involvement is with
Bethell Hospice and Caledon Community Services Homelessness initiatives. One of his many
talents is auctioneering, through which he has volunteered his time and voice to countless benefit
functions. Murray has been a regular attendee and supporter of The Living City Dinner.
His activities with the Rotary Club of Bolton include:
• 50 years membership;
• Held recent executive roles: President, Vocational, Director at Large, Rotary Foundation;
• Hosted many Rotary Youth Exchange (16 year-old) students who are in Canada for a
one-year emersion into Canadian culture, education and society;
• Camp Enterprise board member — a 4 day residential camp experience for youth in grade
11/12 to learn how to develop a business, leadership skills, entrepreneurship and
team -building experience, which at one time was held at the conference centre at Bolton
Camp;
• Adventures in Citizenship program in which a student is selected to spend a week in
Ottawa learning about government, citizenship and humanitarian issues;
• Global philanthropy with water and literacy projects in Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico.
At Authority Meeting #9/03, held on November 28, 2003, Resolution #A255/03 was approved,
which set the protocol for the naming of TRCA assets. In accordance with the protocol, a
naming may contain any or all of the following:
• The name of a major individual or corporate/public sector organization;
• The name of an individual prominent in the environmental or conservation community;
• A relevant historical name associated with the geographic area or community;
• The name of a strategic initiative, a citizen's group or other partnership of TRCA; and/or
• Other names that may have significance for a specific site and area.
RATIONALE
Since 2015, The Rotary Club of Bolton has supported the redevelopment of Bolton Camp through
various financial donations. Donations include a total of $12,500 for the Girls Can Too to assist with
program and material costs. In addition, The Rotary Club of Bolton has provided a financial
donation of $36,000 for the resurfacing of Trail A works that took place at Bolton Camp lands in
summer 2017, and has committed an additional $25,000 financial donation for the resurfacing of
Trail B works to take place on site in summer 2018.
The Rotary Club of Bolton has requested that the Trail A and Trail B located at Bolton Camp
property be named "Murray Stewart Trail," after Murray Stewart, who has been a member with the
Club for 50 years and is a long-time community supporter of the Bolton Camp property.
252
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
TRCA staff will complete the Trail B resurfacing project during summer 2018. TRCA staff will
produce and install an appropriate sign on the completed Trail A and Trail B to identify the trail
name, history and acknowledging the generous donation to TRCA. A commemorative event for
the sign unveiling is being planned for the end of October 2018 to coincide with the annual
Haunted Hill 5K/1 OK Run/Walk event hosted by The Rotary Club of Bolton at the Bolton Camp
property.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The estimated cost of producing and installing the sign on the property is $2,500. This expense will
be covered by The Rotary Club of Bolton.

Hazards Projects in accordance with the City of Toronto's Coordinated
Watercourse Management Plan (2014) to address erosion damage to
private and public lands arising from the July 8, 203 storm and other severe
weather events in the City of Toronto.

Seconded by: David Barrow
WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff has reported to the
Authority at least annually on the management of erosion and slope stability hazards
related to the July 8, 2013 storm and subsequent severe weather events since Authority
Meeting #6/13, held on July 26, 2013, and most recently at Authority Meeting #5/17, held on
June 23, 2017;
AND WHEREAS staff was directed at Authority Meeting #4/16 by Resolution #A71/16 to
allocate up to 15% of the funding to lower priority sites where proactive and/or minor
works may prevent significant future damage to, or loss of, property;
AND WHEREAS staff was directed at Authority Meeting #5/17 by Resolution #A101/17 to
pursue additional sources of funding from the Province of Ontario and federal
government for erosion control works;
AND WHEREAS staff was authorized at Authority Meeting #5/17 by Resolution #A101/17 to
proceed with the implementation of new and ongoing projects outlined in the 2017
Workplan;
THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT staff allocate 5% of the available funding for
2018 to lower priority sites where proactive and/or minor works may prevent significant
future damage to or loss of property;
THAT staff continue to pursue additional sources of funding from the Province of Ontario
and federal government for erosion control works;
THAT staff proceed with the new and ongoing projects as outlined in the proposed 2018
workplan described in Attachment 1;
AND FURTHER THAT a copy of this report be provided to Toronto Water in compliance
with the City of Toronto's 2014 Coordinated Watercourse Management Plan.

BACKGROUND
On July 8, 2013 an intense downpour rolled through the Toronto area, causing wide -spread
flooding, surcharges of water infrastructure, and significant damage to the river and valley
systems including extensive damage to park trails and pedestrian bridges, numerous debris jams,
and an unprecedented number of slope failures on hundreds of private properties that border
these natural areas. TRCA Restoration and Infrastructure staff were the first responders to flood
and erosion related damage following this event, inventorying and assessing more than 500 sites
over the course of several months.
255
TRCA has been inventorying, assessing and remediating erosion hazards for more than 30 years
under various program names and special projects, but the July 8, 2013 event significantly
increased the number of hazards in the Toronto area, requiring TRCA to rethink its approach to
erosion management in its jurisdiction to more effectively deal with the effects of climate change.
On July 26, 2013 staff brought the first post -storm erosion damage report to Authority Meeting
#6/13, providing an overview of the information collected to date with recommendations for further
action. Staff has continued to submit mid -year and/or annual reports to the Authority as required
since 2013. For a complete record of all Authority meetings and resolutions approved to date,
refer to Authority Meeting #5/17, Resolution #A101/17.
RATIONALE
The 2018 workplan outlines the status of each project currently in progress from 2017 or
proposed with 2018 funding. Project specific details are described in Attachment 1. As in previous
years, some in -year adjustments to the workplan may be required as more information is received
from engineering studies, subsequent storm events worsen conditions at certain sites, and other
projects are delayed due to negotiations with landowners and other factors.
As the primary objective of TRCA's Erosion Risk Management Program is to reduce risk to life
and property from the hazards of erosion, the majority of funding continues to be allocated to sites
where significant damage has already occurred. Since receiving direction from the Authority at
Meeting #7/15, held on the July 24, 2015 to allocate up to 15% of each year's funding to lower
priority sites where proactive and minor works may prevent future failures, staff has initiated an
extensive review of potential candidate sites to inform the appropriate portion of annual funding
that should be allocated to this category of work. As illustrated in Attachment 1, the proposed
allocation to proactive and minor works in 2018 is approximately 5% of the total available budget
for valley erosion hazards in 2018, as the remainder of the budget is needed to complete works at
higher risk sites. The proposed 5% budget allocation is approximate and subject to securing all
necessary landowner agreements prior to proceeding with work.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The total budget for Valley and Erosion Hazards in 2018 is $3.21 million, which includes $2.6
million in 2018 capital funding and approximately $610,000 in funds carried forward from 2017 to
continue with projects already in progress.
All funding for this portfolio of work is provided by the City of Toronto within account 133-01 as
outlined in Attachment 1 except where noted otherwise. Some funding is expected to be received
from benefiting landowners on select projects in accordance with TRCA's Private Landowner
Contribution for Erosion Control Works policy and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry
(MNRF) through its annual Water and Erosion Control Infrastructure (WECI) Program on a
project -by -project basis. Attachment 1 shows how the $3.21 million is allocated across the priority
projects.
Some adjustments to individual projects funded under this capital works program may be
proposed by Toronto Water, and it is noted that the allocations are subject to revision as the work
progresses. With the potential delays and other unknown factors associated with landowner
negotiations, staff has included alternate projects for approval in the 2018 workplan. Alternate
projects are priority projects for which no budget is allocated this fiscal year. In the case where
landowner negotiations stall on an approved project, staff will reassign the available budget to an
approved alternate project.

located at 5 Shoreham Drive, Toronto.
Moved by: Jack Heath
Seconded by: Ronald Chopowick
THAT the project update and presentation detailing the status of the design and Site Plan
approval process in support of the construction of an administrative office building at 5
Shoreham Drive in Toronto be received.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting #5/16, held on June 24, 2016, Resolution #A85/16 approved the
construction of an administrative office building at 5 Shoreham Drive in Toronto and directed staff
to take the necessary action to complete the project, including the submission of formal requests
for approval to the participating municipalities and the Province of Ontario. Following the receipt of
funding approval by all six of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) participating
municipalities in February 2017, TRCA retained an integrated design team to further develop
TRCA's vision for a healthy and functional office space, featuring mass timber construction, green
design and thoughtful integration with the unique ravine setting.
Led by ZAS Architects and Bucholz McEvoy Architects in joint venture, the design team is
supported by the expertise of TRCA's project manager, Jones Lang LaSalle Canada; construction
manager, Eastern Construction Company Limited; sustainability specialist, Green Reason; and
quantity surveyor, A.W. Hooker to realize a highly sustainable, efficient and cost effective
building. Since October 2017, key TRCA staff has had nine working sessions with this team to
inform the planning and design of the project. The design team has also conducted team
interviews over three days to review and refine the existing program of the building.
RATIONALE
On April 23, 2018, the integrated design team presented the refined building design,
environmental strategy and landscape plan for TRCA's new administrative offices at 5 Shoreham
Drive. This design strives to meet the needs and ambitions of TRCA now and into the future and
demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of the core mission and requirements of TRCA.
The schematic design consists of a four storey, 7,430 m2 (80,000 ft') mass timber office building
that will feature universal design principles, and will at minimum achieve Tier II Toronto Green
Standards, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum and WELL Building
Silver certifications. The design is also targeting to meet zero carbon status, and the project will
be evaluated using the five key components from the Canadian Green Building Council's
(CaGBC) Carbon Framework as a pilot study participant under the Zero Carbon Building
Immersion Program.
264
The building massing and siting is consistent with the City of Toronto Official Plan and TRCA's
The Living City policies. The building location respects the natural ravine setting and complies
with the required setback from the natural slope hazard. The building massing responds to the
natural setting by occupying the space of the former office and parking lot by fanning out along
Shoreham Drive and stepping back floor by floor in a similar manner as the adjacent ravine. The
building is sited to both embrace the Black Creek ravine landscape and extend that ravine
landscape into the site and visually into the building. The building's wood structural system also
makes both a literal and figurative connection to the ravine's ecology and makes clear the
project's sustainability goals that can be found in all aspects of the project.
The project promotes a strong urban connection to Shoreham Drive. The siting of the building
creates a gateway into the larger university community and safer entry from the controlled
intersection at Shoreham Drive and Murray Ross Parkway. The main building entrance faces
Shoreham Drive with a secondary entrance facing Tennis Canada and the on-site parking.
Parking will be accommodated on site and, similar to the original office, across Shoreham Drive in
the Black Creek Pioneer Village parking lot. This strategy has the advantage of minimizing the
effect of parking on the site, reducing costs and utilizing an existing TRCA asset.
The landscape design embraces the culture and ecology of the ravine and, similar to the building,
celebrates TRCA's role in maintaining and enhancing the ravine system. The landscape plan
demonstrates TRCA's The Living City vision by bolstering the natural heritage attributes of the
site and integrating innovative low impact development (LID) systems. At all moments of the
landscape design, sustainability is underscored by ensuring stormwater is managed and treated
on site and by ensuring that the existing natural cover is protected and enhanced with
interconnections to the ravine. An effort has been made to extend the interior programming into
the site with outdoor meeting and eating areas. The life of the cafe will be enhanced through the
provision of a kitchen garden. The landscape is also welcoming to the larger community and
provides both pedestrian and cycling connections.
The ambition of creating a great place to work was met by the design team with open, light filled
floor plans that meet the programmatic requirements of TRCA, and take advantage of views into
the ravine landscape. The main floor area offers space for large meetings and community
engagement, transitional exhibition space, as well as an inviting cafeteria, reception and planning
desk. This floor also provides space for equipment and supply storage, TRCA's emergency
operation centre, central file and mailroom functions, bike storage, staff showers and change
rooms. The majority of TRCA's approximate 400 staff complement are accommodated on the
second, third and fourth floors. On these floors workstations are centrally located, with adjacent
rooms that facilitate collaboration and team work or quiet, focused work. Offices and smaller sized
meeting rooms are located on the north side of the building, while large meeting rooms are
positioned to the south, adjacent to stairways that interconnect floors and take advantage of
ravine views. The open floor plans support flexibility to accommodate future staff growth through
building programming revisions, adoption of flexible work arrangements or through a future fifth
storey addition of 640 to 1,237 m2 (6,889 to 13,315 ft2).
The design team has met the challenge of creating a comfortable indoor environment and
achieving TRCA's ambitious sustainability and wellness objectives. The design has been
informed from an evidenced based approach that has used extensive computer modeling to
maximize passive design features to take advantage of the local climate, micro -climate and
simple strategies for reducing the building's energy -use. The building massing and orientation
have been developed to respond to the site and its surroundings. The mass timber structure
reduces the embodied carbon content for the building, while floor to ceiling heights, as well as
studied placement of glazing, optimize natural daylighting of the workspaces to the reduce the
energy needed for artificial lighting.

The design team's concepts for a passive design building also include ensuring the envelope
design responds to solar orientation and the peak design day temperatures. The building will
feature natural ventilation techniques to reduce energy usage in shoulder seasons (spring/fall)
when outside conditions are suitable for simply opening the windows. Solar chimneys combined
with water walls will be used to allow the building to breathe and make use of water to
pre -condition the outside air and thereby reducing the amount of energy required. The south and
southeast fagades will also feature "pre -heat" zones where double facades will be used to make
use of solar preheating which will extend the natural ventilation hours for the year, further
reducing energy use. The double facades also provide active shading during periods of high
radiant heat gain and glare.
Once all the passive opportunities are fully captured in the design, active strategies must be
optimized and simplified for a creative and low -maintenance solution. Finally, renewable energies
from roof mounted photo voltaic (PV) panels and geothermal energy exchangers will be used to
meet the minimized building energy demand and target a net zero carbon target for the building.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
On February 24, 2017, at Authority Meeting #1/17, staff reported that all six of TRCA's
participating municipalities, by way of their respective Councils, approved the project and the
allocation of $60,000,000 in new and existing capital funding toward the project.
On March 27, 2017 staff submitted a formal request to the Minister of Natural Resources and
Forestry (MNRF) for approval of the project and a rate of interest. Minister's approval, pursuant to
the requirements of Section 3(5) and 24 of the Conservation Authorities Act, is required in order to
satisfy the lending conditions of a financial institution for funds borrowed for the project and to
allocate approximately $10,000,000 to the project from existing and future land sale disposition
proceeds.
On September 22, 2017 staff reported at Authority Meeting #07/17, that an interest rate not to
exceed 3.75% on the funds to be borrowed to finance the construction of the building was
approved by the Chief Administrative Officer of MNRF on August 14, 2017. TRCA staff also
reported that TRCA received correspondence from MNRF on August 28, 2017 advising that it was
the Minister's decision to not grant an exemption to the Ministry's Generated Revenue Policy to
enable the use of funds from land dispositions in support of TRCA's project.
As a result of the funding reduction, TRCA challenged the integrated design team, to realize a
highly efficient, cost effective building that can be achieved within the available budget
$60,000,000 budget. This included taking measures to reduce the scope of the project, such as
the elimination of underground parking and an overall reduction in the size of the building based
on a refined building program.
TRCA submitted an urgent financial appeal to the Minister on December 12, 2017. A response
from the Minister was received on February 15, 2018 indicating that ministry staff had been asked
to explore enabling the use of TRCA's existing land sale generated revenue conditional upon the
requirement that TRCA repay those funds from other revenue sources back into the reserve
within a determined timeframe. On May 8, 2018, TRCA was notified that it was determined that
such an approach is complex and would not be feasible within a reasonable timeline to address
the immediate requirements of TRCA. However, in recognition and support of TRCA and its
municipalities, the Minister has granted approval to use $3,538,000 in disposition proceeds from
land sales associated with provincial grants (as identified in TRCA's 2016 audited financial
statement) with no required repayment. The Minister also confirmed approval of the project under
Section 24 of the Conservation Authorities Act. These funds will be applied to the project to
OV
ensure that TRCA's future proofing, sustainability and office modernization objectives are met as
the design evolves or to reduce the overall term of the required financing.
TRCA staff continues to review opportunities for provincial and federal funding through various
grants and programs. As a result of this ongoing review TRCA submitted an expression of interest
to the Green Infrastructure Phase II — Energy Efficient Buildings RD&D Program with eligibility of
up to $3.5M in funding but were unsuccessful in the application process. TRCA is also submitting
an expression of interest to the Province's GreenON fund with eligibility of up to $10M in funding.
Finally, staff is working with City of Toronto to confirm what financial incentives may be available
to TRCA by meeting Toronto Green Standards Tier 2 requirements.

The portion of the site where the building will be located is designated as Natural Areas in the City
of Toronto Official Plan, and is subject to the former North York Zoning By-law which allows for a
TRCA office building. The proposed building has been located in such a way as to avoid the need
for a Zoning By-law Amendment. Any identified conflicts with the existing Zoning By-law are
anticipated to be addressed through a Minor Variance process which does not involve any
changes of use, but rather will address matters related to the need for off-site parking, a reduced
parking count or adjustments to setbacks, if any.
On May 3, 2018, TRCA's project team met with City of Toronto staff to provide an overview of
TRCA's project and the site at 5 Shoreham Drive, discuss the anticipated approvals and timing
and receive comments on TRCA's proposal. The project was well received by City staff and
TRCA was very encouraged by the support to the overall project approach and emphasis on
sustainability. Based on the feedback received at this meeting TRCA's team will apply for a
Preliminary Project Review to confirm that the proposal complies with the Zoning By -Law.
