Section 28 Regulation mapping based upon the most current information
available related to regulated natural hazards and natural features.
Moved by: Ronald Chopowick
Seconded by: Paul Ainslie
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS in 2019, Toronto and
Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff undertook the first jurisdiction -wide update
to TRCA's Section 28 Regulation mapping update since 2006 in consultation with
member municipalities, the public, and the building industry;
AND WHEREAS at TRCA Board of Directors Meeting #6/19, held on Friday, June 21, 2019,
Resolution #A116/19 was approved directing staff to continue to make updates to TRCA
Regulation mapping on an annual basis;
AND WHEREAS staff have completed the annual regulation mapping updates for 2020 to
reflect the most currently available information;
THEREFORE, LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the 2020 updates to TRCA's regulation
mapping as set out in this report be endorsed by the TRCA Board of Directors for
internal use, for municipal staff screening purposes, and for public viewing on TRCA's
website;
AND FURTHER THAT the Clerk and Manager, Policy, so advise the Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry, Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks, the Ministry
of Municipal Affairs and Housing, TRCA municipal partners, Conservation Ontario and
the BILD TRCA Working Group.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
TRCA has a regulatory permitting responsibility to protect people, the environment and property
from natural hazards associated with flooding, erosion and slope instability, and to conserve
valleylands, wetlands, watercourses and the shoreline of Lake Ontario. Pursuant to Section 28
of the Conservation Authorities Act, TRCA administers a "Development, Interference with
Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation", (the Regulation),
approved by the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry and known as Ontario Regulation
166/06, as amended. Key objectives of the Regulation include preventing or reducing the risk to
life and property; minimizing negative impacts on natural features, functions, and systems; and
preventing the creation of new hazards or aggravation of existing hazards.
The Regulation enables TRCA to prohibit or regulate development in areas of land associated
with natural hazards, wetlands and watercourses, collectively known as TRCA's Regulated
Area.
In the Conservation Authorities Act, "development" is defined as:
• Construction, reconstruction, erection or placing of a building or structure of any kind;
• Any change to a building or structure that would have the effect of altering the use or
potential use of the building or structure, increasing the size of the building or structure
or increasing the number of dwelling units in the building or structure;
Site grading; or
Temporary or permanent placing, dumping or removal of any material, originating on the
site or elsewhere.
The Regulation also prohibits, in the absence of a permit from TRCA, alteration of the channel
of a watercourse and interference with a wetland.
The areas of land where TRCA's Regulation applies are:
• River and stream valleys, including valleys with stable and unstable slopes, plus an
allowance of 15 metres surrounding the valley;
• Floodplains and areas subject to stream -related erosion (meander belts) where valleys
are not clearly defined on the landscape, plus an allowance of 15 metres surrounding
these areas;
• Lake Ontario Shoreline, including associated flooding, erosion, slope instability and
dynamic beach erosion hazards, plus an allowance of 15 metres inland from these
areas;
• Watercourses;
• Wetlands and areas surrounding wetlands, where development could interfere with the
hydrologic function of a wetland (areas of interference). This includes 120 metres
surrounding Provincially Significant Wetlands, wetlands on the Oak Ridges Moraine and
30 metres surrounding all other wetlands. (It should be noted that in 2019, TRCA
implemented a permit streamlining measure to reduce the extent of the area of
interference from 120 metres to 30 metres for mapped wetlands within the Province's
Greater Golden Horseshoe Built Boundary, as updated by TRCA staff to include built
urban areas since 2006); and
• Hazardous lands, which are lands that could be unsafe for development due to flooding,
erosion, dynamic beaches or unstable soil or bedrock.
Each of these natural hazards and environmental features and the associated regulated areas
are described in law through the text of the Regulation. However, given the specific geographic
areas to which the Regulation applies, and the need to represent these areas visually, the
Regulation also provides for the creation of Regulation mapping. This mapping can be updated
by TRCA as new information becomes available.
At Board of Directors Meeting #6/19, held on Friday, June 21, 2019, Resolution #A116/19 was
approved as follows regarding the staff report on the jurisdiction -wide update Regulation
mapping update:
WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff have undertaken
the first jurisdiction -wide update to TRCA's Section 28 Regulation mapping update since
2006, in consultation with member municipalities, the public, and the building industry;
WHEREAS TRCA staff are committed to working cooperatively with all of TRCA's
municipal partners, landowners, the Building Industry and Land Development
Association (GILD) and stakeholders regarding the implementation of TRCAs regulatory
permitting responsibilities under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act, including
opportunities to streamline the approval process;
THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the updates to TRCA's regulation mapping
as set out in this report be endorsed by the TRCA Board of Directors for internal use, for
municipal staff screening purposes, and for public viewing on TRCA's website;
THAT staff continue to make updates to the Regulation mapping on an annual basis;
AND FURTHER THAT the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Ministry of
Environment Conservation and Parks, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, TRCA
municipal partners and Conservation Ontario be so advised.
TRCA staff have now completed the 2020 annual update to the Regulation mapping in
consultation with TRCA development, infrastructure and technical review staff.
It should be noted that the amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act under schedule 6 of
Bill 229, do not affect the Regulation mapping. TRCA's Ontario Regulation 166/06 remains in
effect until such time as the Province establishes a new regulation for all conservation
authorities under the yet to be proclaimed amended section 28 provisions of the Act. TRCA
Policy Planning staff will continue to monitor the ERO for provincial initiatives that may affect
TRCA's policies and procedures with respect to its Regulation and regulation mapping and will
keep TRCA staff and the Board informed accordingly.
RATIONALE
Regulation Mapping: What it is and how it works
TRCA's Regulation mapping is a tool that conceptually shows the area of land within TRCA's
jurisdiction that is likely to be subject to the Regulation. The Regulation limit boundary is based
on the best technical information available to TRCA at the time of the preparation of the map.
The mapping represents spatial information for each of the regulated features and areas, which
is integrated to form one conceptual boundary of the Regulation limit. TRCA's Reference
Manual — Determination of Regulation Limits provides the standards and criteria used for the
mapping of these features and areas.
Technical analysis that supports the mapping includes flood plain studies, provincial wetland
mapping, ecological land classification mapping, digital elevation models, aerial photography,
watercourse meander belt analysis, watercourse location mapping and Lake Ontario shoreline
hazard assessment studies. Site-specific investigations and studies are required to precisely
define the location of hazards and features and the legal extent of the Regulation, which
typically occurs through consultation between landowners and TRCA staff during the review of a
development application or proposal.
The mapping is not a "statutory map", which means that the mapping does not have the force of
law. The actual regulatory requirements are found within the provisions of Ontario Regulation
166/06. The mapping is best considered as a screening tool for TRCA, municipalities and the
public that indicates where the Regulation likely applies, thereby assisting with implementation
of TRCA's regulatory permitting responsibilities. This contrasts with a more rigid boundary such
as a schedule of a municipal zoning by-law.
The Regulated Area is not a Development Limit
The mapping does not indicate areas where development is prohibited, but rather areas where
development will need to take into consideration certain constraints from natural hazards or
features, and for which a permit is required from TRCA prior to development activity
commencing. In addition to facilitating TRCA's permitting responsibilities, the mapping is also
used to inform:
• Solicitor/Realtor Property Inquiries;
• TRCA's delegated responsibility to represent the provincial interest for natural
hazards; and
• TRCA's review of applications under the Planning Act and Environmental
Assessment Act, as described through Memorandums of Understanding for plan
input and plan review with TRCA's municipal partners;
• Municipal Comprehensive Reviews including natural heritage systems mapping,
including natural hazard mapping, and land needs assessment.
• Comprehensive Zoning By-law updates, including hazard land mapping
Improving the accuracy of the mapping through this comprehensive update and consultation is
particularly timely given that municipalities are currently undertaking Municipal Comprehensive
Reviews for conformity to recently amended provincial plans, such as "A Place to Grow: The
Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe". TRCA planning and GIS staff have been
working with planning staff at the City of Toronto and at Durham, York and Peel Regions to
provide data layers from the updated regulation mapping to inform their land needs assessment
for municipal growth planning.
Updated Regulation Mapping Protocol
TRCA has the ability to update the mapping as new information becomes available. Updates to
the Regulation mapping improve its accuracy with respect to what is likely regulated by TRCA,
thereby enhancing certainty for landowners considering or proposing development. This also
assists both TRCA and municipal staff conducting development and infrastructure reviews. The
last jurisdiction -wide update was completed in 2019. Since that time, flood plain mapping
updates have taken place which have been taken into account in the newly updated mapping
for 2020. The September 25, 2020 Board of Directors meeting included a report from the TRCA
Engineering Services business unit on the jurisdiction -wide, flood plain mapping update. This
report was circulated to TRCA's municipal and government partners and stakeholders and the
flood plain mapping was made publicly available on TRCA's website. Development and
Infrastructure planning and permitting staff have been using this information since that time to
inform their review of applications.
The current 2020 annual update to the existing regulation mapping has been undertaken to
reflect new technical information on current aerial photography. In 2019, we committed to
establishing a protocol for conducting and tracking future incremental mapping updates in a
consistent and timely manner, and to report on annual updates to the Board.
Coordination between the internal Policy Planning and Business and Data Analytics (BIDA)
teams resulted in a codified workflow and protocols describing project scope, timeline, and staff
roles and responsibilities. Staff established an internal consultation process involving an open
call for update requests from development and environmental assessment plan review staff and
technical staff (engineers and ecologists), use of an internal online mapping platform for tracking
and enabling staff review of proposed updates, and working sessions conducted with plan
review and technical staff to review specific update requests. The product of this effort is
updated draft Regulation mapping.
TRCA is following the guidance provided by Conservation Ontario for regulation mapping
updates. It is important to note that only the mapping is being updated; there are no legislative
changes to the text of the Regulation driving the mapping update. Furthermore, there is no legal
requirement for municipal council approval of the updated mapping.
Regulation Mapping Update Results
Changes to the mapping include:
• Revised wetland and area of interference limits associated with new and updated
wetland evaluations and mapping by Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry and
TRCA;
• Adjustments to flood hazard limits as a result of updated floodplain mapping, as
referenced above;
• Changes to features and hazards resulting from as -built development approved by
TRCA (e.g. watercourse channel realignments);
• Adjustments to wetland area of interference limits in urban areas (i.e., updates to the
Greater Golden Horseshoe Built Boundary by TRCA staff to reflect current built
developments/areas); and
• General refinement of regulated features resulting from detailed site examination and
field verification of properties through the development and infrastructure review
processes (e.g. top of bank staking) and/or site visits.
Tracking, Notification, and Future Updates
Once endorsed, staff will distribute the updated mapping to TRCA municipalities for their use.
TRCA will notify Conservation Ontario and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, as
well as neighbouring conservation authorities and stakeholders, of the update. In addition, the
publicly available "Regulated Area Search Tool" on TRCA's website will be updated to include
the new mapping. Changes to the Regulation mapping are tracked in TRCA's Geographic
Information System (GIS) databases and will be recorded on each of TRCA's 132 Regulation
maps that span the jurisdiction.
Regularly updated regulation mapping will continue to ensure that TRCA staff, municipalities,
stakeholders and the public have the most accurate and current information to inform decision-
making. Updated mapping also contributes to TRCA's service delivery improvement efforts, for
example in pre -consultation meetings and walk-in/online planning services, and by providing
updated information to help enhance coordination between TRCA and municipal staff.
Implementation and Transition
The implementation of the updated mapping will not result in any changes to the day to day
functions and procedures for TRCA's roles. It is important to reiterate that the Regulation
mapping does not undermine the decisions made through the development review process and
applications in progress will not have to "re -start" the process based on being inside an area
affected by the mapping updates.
Relationship to Building the Living City, the TRCA 2013-2022 Strategic Plan
This report supports the following strategies set forth in the TRCA 2013-2022 Strategic Plan
Strategy 2 — Manage our regional water resources for current and future generations
Strategy 4 — Create complete communities that integrate nature and the built
environment
Strategy 8 — Gather and share the best sustainability knowledge
Strategy 12 — Facilitate a region -wide approach to sustainability
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Funding to support policy and planning input and GIS services for the mapping products was
provided by capital funding from TRCA's participating municipalities in account 120-12.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Following Board endorsement, TRCA staff will:
o conduct a quality control check on the December 2020 draft mapping and
distribute the final updated Regulated Area mapping to member municipalities
o update the existing mapping search tool on TRCA's website with the final
updated Regulated Area mapping and place notification on website
o continue to monitor the mapping for future changes that will be compiled and
implemented on an annual basis
o continue to monitor the ERO for provincial initiatives that have implications for
TRCA's Regulation and regulation mapping, and keep TRCA staff and the Board
informed accordingly.
o Training with municipal staff on the regulation mapping or the regulation upon
request
o Continue to provide regulation mapping criteria data layers to municipalities for
Municipal Comprehensive Reviews, zoning by-law updates, etc., upon request
o Continue to keep the building industry informed on mapping updates and other
initiatives through the TRCA BILD Working Group and provide training upon
request.
Summary
TRCA has completed an annual update of its regulation mapping across the jurisdiction with
input from development and environmental assessment plan review and technical staff
(planners, engineers and ecologists). The regulation limit shown on the mapping is not a
development limit but rather a conceptual illustration of natural features and hazards
development needs to take into account for possible constraints due to natural hazards or
features, and for which a permit is required from TRCA prior to development activity
commencing. The mapping is used by TRCA development and infrastructure review staff,
policy planning staff and enforcement and compliance staff to inform our roles and
responsibilities in planning, infrastructure and permit review processes, and supports
municipalities in their comprehensive planning projects.
To ensure a smooth transition between the current and the updated regulation mapping, TRCA
will ensure communication with our municipal partners, including training and education on the
mapping and on TRCA roles where requested. The improved accuracy of the mapping achieved
through this annual update will continue through ongoing and comprehensive annual updates
and continuing dialogue with stakeholders such as BILD. Ultimately, these exercises help to
increase certainty, effectiveness and efficiencies for all stakeholders in review and approval
processes.

RES.#B83/20 - 2020 COMPENSATION SUMMARY REPORT
Second annual report to the Executive Committee on Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority's (TRCA) Ecosystem Compensation Program
using summary statistics from TRCA's ecosystem compensation
database. The report contains a summary of outcomes and performance
of the program with recommendations for improvement where needed.
Moved by: Jack Heath
Seconded by: Paula Fletcher
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the 2020 Compensation Summary
Report be received;
THAT staff be directed to continue to work with external stakeholders to implement the
recommendations outlined in the report;
AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to continue to report annually to the Executive
Committee and Board of Directors on the status of the Compensation Program, to
conduct an update to the report in 2021 consulting with the Building Industry and Land
Development Association (BILD), the Province and municipal partners, and to review
program performance against the goals stated in the Ecosystem Compensation
Management Framework.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting #5/18, held on June 22, 2018, Resolution #A85/18 was approved in part as
follows:
THAT staff be directed to track compensation where TRCA is implementing the
compensation actions and report to the Authority on project outcomes, financial
accounting and overall program successes;
Ecosystem compensation has been used for several years as a tool to help address
unavoidable natural feature losses due to land use changes under the Planning Act,
Conservation Authorities Act, and Environmental Assessment process for public infrastructure
projects. With the introduction of compensation policy within the 2014 TRCA Living City Policies
(RES.#A186/14), the June 2018 adoption of TRCA's Guideline for Determining Ecosystem
Compensation (RES.#A85/18) (hereafter referred to as the "Guideline"), and the Ecosystem
Compensation Management Framework (2019) (hereafter referred to as the "Framework"),
TRCA has been successful at managing compensation as an effective program resulting in
increasingly positive outcomes when compensation is required as a last resort. Further, TRCA's
compensation program has proven to be a model that can be applied by municipalities, other
conservation authorities and partner agencies.
Since 2017, TRCA has received $9,496,000 in compensation funds for natural feature
restoration and land acquisitions, of which $8,311,000 was projected to be expended by the end
of 2020. The remaining funds have been allocated -to specific projects for future implementation,
monitoring, and maintenance. Of these restoration and acquisition projects, 93% were
implemented in the same municipality where the impact occurred, and 87% were implemented
in the impacted watershed.
As a part of this governance structure outlined in the Framework, regular reporting is to be
brought to TRCA's Executive Committee and Board of Directors summarizing the status of
compensation projects implemented by TRCA, providing an update on the program successes
and challenges, and outlining recommendations for future program improvements. This regular
reporting is to occur on an annual basis. This report is the second iteration of the annual
reporting. Highlights in the 2020 Annual report include:
• In 2020, TRCA received $3,034,000 as compensation funds from 16 compensation
projects;
• In 2020 TRCA implemented 16 restoration projects, totalling 15.8 ha of terrestrial habitat,
1230 linear metres of aquatic habitat and 2 in -stream barrier removals, costing
$3,089,000 and using funds received from various years;
• For the losses where funds were received between 2017-2020, there is projected net
gain for terrestrial habitat of 14.0 ha. The detailed breakdown appears below in Table 1.
Table 1 — Com ensation Program Summary of Losses and Gains between 2017-2020
In 2020, TRCA significantly improved the time frame for implemention and met most
targets set in 2019.
0 100% of projects were started within 1 year;
0 96% of projects completed active implementation within 2 years;
0 93% of projects will completed all phases within 7 years of receiving funds.
The Guideline was adopted by TRCA in 2018; therefore, it can be difficult to draw
comprehensive conclusions on how it is being applied since there is a limited sample size thus
far. That being the case, the attached report (Appendix 1) presents a snapshot of current
compensation activities at TRCA. In this report, a comparison was made between the last four
years (when the Guideline was being developed) and older projects to show the significant
improvements that have been realized since formalizing the compensation process.
RATIONALE
TRCA's Living City Policies and the Guideline firmly entrench the concept of compensation in
the mitigation hierarchy, recommending feature removal with compensation only as a last resort,
after all options for protection have been exhausted. The purpose of the Guideline is to provide
guidance on how to determine the total amount of compensation required to replace lost or
altered ecosystems, in a repeatable and transparent manner, after it has been decided through
the planning process, often by senior levels of government or other bodies, such as the Local
Planning Appeal Tribunal, that unavoidable losses will result.
In order to ensure a coordinated, effective, transparent, accountable and adaptive approach to
this aspect of managing TRCA's Compensation Program, TRCA staff developed a governance
document (the Framework). The Framework outlines the tools and processes used to apply
funds that have come to TRCA as a result of ecosystem compensation agreements. The

In order to ensure a coordinated, effective, transparent, accountable and adaptive approach to
this aspect of managing TRCA's Compensation Program, TRCA staff developed a governance
document (the Framework). The Framework outlines the tools and processes used to apply
funds that have come to TRCA as a result of ecosystem compensation agreements. The
Framework is to be applied in all cases where compensation funds are directed to TRCA
(typically when off-site compensation is required), via an approved agreement, for ecological
restoration projects and/or conservation land securement.
The Framework recognizes the collaborative nature of the compensation process, the varying
roles of the parties involved, and the need for coordination, particularly with TRCA's municipal
partners. Although the Framework focuses on TRCA's role in the process, the tools and
approaches outlined can also be adapted and used by others to manage compensation
decisions and actions.
The implementation of ecosystem compensation is complex and can vary from case to case. As
such, it can be a challenge to achieve a consistent approach between the proponent and/or
regulatory agency. The Guideline outlines a repeatable process for determining compensation
requirements when an unavoidable natural feature loss is identified. A robust governance
structure (the Framework) that is understood and supported by partners is critical to ensure that
compensation decisions and practices are applied fairly, consistently, accurately, openly, and
efficiently. Using performance measures that are rooted in these considerations will help to
identify successes and challenges associated with implementing restoration for compensation,
as well as the ecosystem Compensation Program as a whole. The performance review will
produce clear recommendations that guide future actions and improve compensation. The
Compensation Program Summary Report is a guidance document outlining actions that can be
taken to ensure that future compensation projects are held to a high standard.
Table 2 outlines the Framework goals, with measures that reflect those goals, and mechanisms
that can be used to rate overall program performance. These measures have been used as the
basis for the Compensation Program performance review.

Relationship to Building the Living City, the TRCA 2013-2022 Strategic Plan
This report supports the following strategies set forth in the TRCA 2013-2022 Strategic Plan:
Strategy 2 — Manage our regional water resources for current and future generations
Strategy 3 — Rethink greenspace to maximize its value
Strategy 4 — Create complete communities that integrate nature and the built
environment
Strategy 9 — Measure performance
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Funds are acquired for compensation on a file -by -file basis as special projects through cash -in
lieu. Once an agreement is made between the proponent and TRCA, funds are immediately
deposited in 119-99. Following the transfer, funds are typically deposited into a new or existing
project account. If no project account has been initialized by year end, funds are transferred into
a holding account for either future project implementation (940-22) or land acquisition (940-26).
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Informed with the information in this summary report, there are several items outlined below
which will form the focus for program improvements and work to update the Framework over the
course of 2021.
• Continue to update the no net loss calculations as new file information is included into
the Compensation Database;
• Start tracking internal files through the Compensation Database to better demonstrate
how TRCA is complying with the Guidelines;
• Work with relevant staff to include land base losses due to land use changes and new
infrastructure development in the Compensation Database;
• Restoration costs have been updated in 2020 and with new tools TRCA can more
accurately track costs on projects. Work with planners, Finance and Restoration and
Infrastructure staff to refine values for associated work if needed and get endorsement
for any cost increases;
• Continue to complete database refinements to improve data input, reporting,
communications. Continue to work closely with database development staff to identify
and support resource needs to ensure these changes can be made in a timely manner;
• Continue to fill in database information gaps to provide a more complete picture of
compensation activities which includes all TRCA business units;
• Continue to work with municipal partners and stakeholders to include information for all
compensation activities;
• Include template agreements with standard clauses that can be tailored in order to
streamline the agreement process;
• Continue regular meetings with the Program Review Team meetings to discuss further
refinement to the application of the Framework;
• Continue communication with partner agencies, proponents, practitioners, BILD and
subject matter experts to provide support or update the science and principles behind
the Guideline and the Management Framework; and
• Continue to seek ways to add staff and other resources to increase our capacity and to
implement more projects.

2020 Ecosystem Compensation Program Summary Report
Executive Summary
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) formally adopted the Guideline for Determining Ecosystem
Compensation in June 2018 (RES.#iA85/18). Following adoption, the Ecosystem Compensation Management
Framework, which outlines how the workflow and allocation of compensation funds should be governed, was
finalized in June 2019. The Ecosystem Compensation Management Framework recommends regular reporting to
identify how well TRCA is meeting the goals and metrics that track performance. The first program summary was
provided to the TRCA Board of Directors in 2019 (RES.#13120/19) and future reports are to be prepared annually to
discuss TRCA's progress in relation to governance goals and reporting metrics laid out in the Framework in addition to
highlighting yearly compensation activity and recommendations. It is important to note that this reporting only covers
compensation for losses that have been applied through the planning process and where TRCA has received cash -in -
lieu funding for restoration implementation. Instances where compensation is not achieved on a planning file or
where compensation is applied and implemented by agencies other than TRCA are not captured in this assessment.
Since 1994, TRCA has implemented 48% of the compensation projects being tracked; an additional 33% have
restoration being actively planned or are in an implementation phase; and the remaining 19% are currently in
negotiation, on hold, or cancelled. When compared to 2019 numbers, there is a 17% increase in restoration projects
being planned in 2020 and a 32% increase in restoration project implementation.
Between 2017 and 2020, TRCA received $9,649,000 in compensation funds for natural feature restoration and land
acquisitions, of which $8,311,000 is projected to be expended by the end of 2020, while the remaining funds are
allocated for future implementation, monitoring, and maintenance. Of these projects, 93% were implemented in the
same municipality as the impact, and 87% were implemented in the same watershed. In 2020, TRCA received
$3,034,000 in compensation funds from 16 compensation projects and will be using $3,089,000 to implement 16
restoration projects. Of the restoration projects implemented in 2020, 100% were in the same municipality as the
impact, and 83% were in the same watershed
This report shows that for the subset of losses where compensation was applied and funds were received as cash in -
lieu (2017-2020), there is a projected net gain for terrestrial natural features (14.0 hectares). However, we see a net
loss projected for meadow (-11.1 hectares) and stream habitats (-7.4 linear metres) due to undervaluing the true cost
to restore these features. To address this, TRCA has updated restoration estimate costs with 2020 rates to be used in
future discussions and will look for ways to continue to meet current habitat requirements with project efficiencies
and leveraged funds.
Outside of a few exceptions, TRCA has met the restoration implementation timelines establish in the 2019 summary
report. With this report TRCA demonstrates that the program successfully manages compensation as an effective tool
resulting in increasingly positive outcomes. TRCA's compensation program has proven to be a model that can be
applied by municipalities, Conservation Authorities and other partner agencies.
Several recommendations have been identified that will refine and improve the way the Ecosystem Compensation
Program functions, including improvements to communications internally and externally, standardized agreements,
data tracking and reporting, and updated restoration cost estimates.

2020 Ecosystem Compensation Program Summary Report
BACKGROUND
Guideline for Determining Ecosystem Compensation
In June 2018, TRCA Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Guideline for Determining Ecosystem
Compensation (RES.#A85/18) (hereafter referred to as the "Guideline"). The purpose of the Guideline is to provide
guidance on how to determine the total amount of compensation required to replace lost or altered ecosystems in a
consistent and transparent manner, after it has been decided through the planning or environmental assessment
process that unavoidable losses will or must take place. The Guideline is written to assist planners, ecologists,
landscape architects, landowners, engineers, and other practitioners and interested parties in understanding how
compensation for ecosystem losses can be implemented. Promoting strategic and effective implementation of
compensation restoration, the Guideline provides a standard and consistent approach, informed by science and
decades of experience in the application of natural heritage planning and ecological restoration.
Ecosystem Compensation Management Framework
The Ecosystem Compensation Management Framework (June 2019) (hereafter referred to as the "Framework")
outlines goals as well as the tools and processes needed to ensure an accountable, transparent, consistent, efficient,
and adaptable approach to managing TRCA's Ecosystem Compensation Program. The Framework should be applied to
all cases where funds are directed to TRCA via an approved agreement for implementing feature -based restoration
and conservation land securement. The agreement would typically be an outcome of the municipal planning process;
environmental assessment process; municipal tree/forest/natural feature by-laws implementation; Local Planning
Appeal Tribunal (formerly the Ontario Municipal Board) agreements and orders; Ministry of the Environment,
Conservation and Parks (MECP) Species at Risk (Overall Benefit) Permits; Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada
(DFO) Fish Habitat Compensation; or other processes (e.g., National Energy Board decisions).
The Framework uses existing tools including the Restoration Projects Database and Compensation Database, along
with existing approaches TRCA has developed for effective project and program management. This Framework
provides direction in situations where TRCA receives funds to implement ecosystem compensation, however, it also
recognizes the collaborative nature of the compensation process, the varying roles of the parties involved, and the
need for coordination, particularly with TRCA's municipal partners. Although this Framework focuses on TRCA's role
in managing the Ecosystem Compensation Program, the tools and approaches can also be adapted by others for
managing compensation decisions and actions for implementation and tracking.
The Framework also defines two key groups in the Ecosystem Compensation Program. The first is a Project Review
Team; one team is established for each file to review and approve proposed land development and infrastructure
projects. This team consists of external partners (where appropriate) as well as TRCA staff from several business units
including Development Planning and Permits, Infrastructure Planning and Permits, Engineering Services, Planning
Ecology, Restoration and Resource Management, Finance, and Property and Risk Management. The second team is
the Ecosystem Compensation Program Review Team, which is tasked with evaluating and reporting on the
effectiveness of the overall Ecosystem Compensation Program approach as well as providing comment on individual
projects that are very complicated or contentious. This team will consist of staff representing Development Planning
and Permits, Infrastructure Planning and Permits, Policy Planning & Regulations, Planning Ecology, Restoration and
Resource Management, Finance, and Property and Risk Management. To achieve efficiencies, both teams will aim to
use the same staff for the duration of each project to ensure knowledge continuity.

2020 Ecosystem Compensation Program Summary Report
Ecosystem Compensation Program Reporting
TRCA prepared the first annual Ecosystem Compensation Program Summary Report in 2019 (RES113120/19). Regular
reporting will be brought to the TRCA Board of Directors to summarize the status of all ecosystem compensation
projects implemented by TRCA, provide an update on the program (successes and challenges), and outline
recommendations for future program improvements. This regular reporting will continue on an annual basis. In
exceptional cases, such as high-profile projects, staff may report on compensation elements of projects separately.
(Such projects would still be included in the annual reporting.) This report is the second iteration of this annual
reporting.
RATIONALE
Ecosystem Compensation Management Framework Goals
Below are the goals that guide the Framework. The goals have been adapted from the guiding principles outlined in
the Guideline.
1. There is no net loss (and ideally a net gain) to the natural heritage system function due to impacts associated with
land use changes or development and infrastructure impacts within the TRCA jurisdiction;
2. TRCA is accountable in the delivery of its compensation program;
3. The compensation process is transparent and traceable;
4. The compensation process is consistent;
S. The compensation process is efficient and timely; and
6. An adaptable approach to management is regularly used to ensure that deficiencies are identified and
recommendations for improvement are implemented.
These goals guide the reporting on the performance of the Ecosystem Compensation Program, which is presented in
the following section.
GOALS: 2020 DETAIL ON STATUS
Ecosystem Compensation Program Summary
The information in this summary report was taken from TRCA's Compensation Database. The Compensation Database
contains information collected by the Project Review Teams. Over the course of 2020, the database was updated with
outstanding file information on completed compensation projects to provide a more holistic view of the Ecosystem
Compensation Program at TRCA.
Figure 1, Location and Current Status of TRCA Compensation Projects, maps the location of impacts or feature losses
and compensation restoration projects across the jurisdiction from 1994 to 2020. These impact sites are symbolized
by circles of assorted colours indicating their compensation status (inactive, in negotiations, or at various stages of
planning, restoration, or completion). The restoration sites are symbolized as pink dots and are linked with a red line
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
2020 Ecosystem Compensation Program Summary Report
to the associated impact sites. The map demonstrates that although restoration is targeted as close to the impact site
as possible, other considerations are involved in siting decisions to ensure the maximum ecological benefit is
achieved. Such considerations include TRCA's Integrated Restoration Prioritization (IRP) tool, coordination of
leveraged opportunities with partners, availability of appropriate sites for restoration, and implementation timelines.
Older projects that started before the Guideline and Framework may be farther from the impact site or cross
boundary lines between municipalities or watersheds. In 2020, there were 16 new impact sites added to the map
(Figure 2). 2020 also saw 16 restoration projects implemented and 52 restoration projects in other phases of
completion from planning to monitoring and maintenance.

Figures 3 and 4, Compensation Projects (1994-2020) by Current Status, illustrate where projects are in the
compensation process. Note: the colour coding in Figure 1 corresponds to the colour coding in Figures 3 and 4.
Currently, 48% of the compensation projects where cash -in -lieu has been received have been implemented (orange
colours); 33% are being actively planned or are in an implementation phase (green colours); and the remaining 19%
are currently in negotiation, on hold, or cancelled (blue & grey colours).
When compared to 2019 numbers, there is a 17% increase in projects being planned, and a 32% increase in project
implementing (projects in the first year of implementing a multiyear project) and being implemented (projects where
implementation of the main restoration activity was completed). Completed project numbers cannot be compared to
2019, as the numbers will be skewed by the recent addition of some older data. The inclusion of this older data gives
a more complete picture of the Ecosystem Compensation Program.

Figure 5, Compensation Revenue and Expenditures (2017-2020), shows compensation funds received by TRCA as
cash -in -lieu and expenditures to implement restoration projects. Between 2017 and 2020, TRCA received $9,649,000
in compensation funds for natural feature restoration and land acquisitions, of which $8,311,000 is projected to be
expended by the end of 2020, while the remaining funds are allocated to be used for future implementation,

Figure 4 demonstrates that funds received by TRCA as cash -in -lieu and restoration expenditures are increasing over
time. This does not necessarily indicate that approval authorities are permitting more feature removals with
compensation, but rather that the full cost of restoration and land acquisition is now better accounted for and agreed

Goal 1: No Net Loss
The goal of no net loss is fundamental to TRCA's principles of ecosystem compensation, where outcomes aim to fully
replace the same level of lost ecosystem structure and function in proximity to where the loss occurs and, where
possible, achieve an overall gain. Ecosystem feature and function losses along with their required mitigation and
compensation amounts are identified through the plan review process. If TRCA then receives funds as cash -in -lieu,
deliverables are tracked and reported through standard project management practices. The Guideline is used to
determine the amount of ecosystem compensation that is appropriately grounded in certain science -based
assumptions, such as:
• Basal area is a suitable proxy for forest stand biomass and function;
• Restored areas are fully successful given 5 years of post -implementation monitoring and maintenance; and
• With planting ratios applied, a 10 -year-old restoration site will be able to provide the same biomass back to
the natural heritage system, which will eventually mature into a fully functioning forest.
As this is the second annual report, we have not yet collected enough monitoring data to confirm that these
assumptions are borne out by the data. Therefore, this iteration of the annual report defines no net loss as TRCA's
ability to restore the required compensation areas with the cash -in -lieu funds received. With this definition of no net
loss, the compensation required and the corresponding restoration should be equal. Required compensation areas
were compared to restoration project areas (past, present, and future implementation) to assess how close the
Ecosystem Compensation Program is to achieving no net loss.
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
2020 Ecosystem Compensation Program Summary Report
It is important to note several limits on the scope of the information presented. This summary does not include
situations where losses occur to the natural heritage system and compensation is not achieved. As a result, not all
losses are truly considered in this summary, and losses on the landscape are greater than presented here. Also not
included in this assessment are compensation situations where restoration is implemented by other agencies (i.e.,
through a landowner or a consultant implementing on- or off-site compensation related to a loss). Therefore, the
restoration area total may also be under -represented across TRCA's jurisdiction. Lastly, this summary does not
attempt to look at compensation files older than 2017, as the same level of loss and restoration information is not
readily available. However, there is sufficient information within the Compensation Database records (2017-2020) to
assess whether TRCA projects will restore enough area to offset the losses to which compensation is applied during
the planning process and received by TRCA as cash -in -lieu.
Table la, Terrestrial Natural Feature Restoration Across TRCA's Jurisdiction by Type, compares the required
compensation area to the restoration project area for projects where TRCA received cash -in -lieu funds between 2017-
2020. The table shows the area of each natural feature type broken down by (1) area required to be restored as
applied through the Guideline (including treed ecosystem ratios); (2) natural features restored to date with
compensation funds; (3) natural features to be restored with received compensation funds; and (4) the total restored
area to be realized once all restoration projects are completed. The final row, Restoration Balance, is the required
restoration compared against what will be restored.

Like Table 1a, Table 1b Aquatic Natural Feature Restoration Across TRCA's Jurisdiction by Type, outlines the aquatic
compensation currently being planned and demonstrates that if the restoration typical treatment (which standard
costings is based on) is applied then the required amount of restoration (linear metres) will not be obtained.
Therefore, project selection should favour a site that uses a more refined treatment than the typical treatment in
order to maximize the restoration benefit achieved with the existing funds.

The results of Table la show that for this subset of losses where compensation was applied and funds were received
as cash in -lieu, there is a projected net gain for terrestrial natural features (14.0 ha). However, when looking at the
terrestrial natural feature types individually, we see a net loss projected for meadow habitat (-11.1 ha). This is the
result of older agreements (2010s) undervaluing the cost to implement native meadow habitat restoration, a cost
that has been refined by TRCA through implementation and research at The Meadoway Project in Toronto. Table lb
shows a net loss for aquatic natural features (-7.4 m), which is due to undervaluing the cost to implement stream
restoration.
When TRCA's Restoration and Resource Management group does not have enough funding to undertake what has
been requested or required, funds to implement projects will be used in the most efficient way possible to maximize
restoration toward a no net loss scenario. In such cases, reaching no net loss may be possible by leveraging additional
funds and/or finding efficiencies by reducing project elements such as site preparations, planting numbers, or habitat
features. Conversely, efficiencies in project implementation that lead to surplus funds will be reinvested toward
further restoration or project enhancements. The Framework directs that surplus funds first go toward offsetting
underfunded projects to reach the required restoration targets. For example, restoration surplus following
implementation is the reason for the projected 14.0 ha of terrestrial net gain.
In addition to natural feature compensation, the Guideline also addresses replacing lost land base. The planning files
that TRCA was involved with in 2020 did not result in new cash -in -lieu being received to compensate for lost land
base. This is due to development land base losses being compensated for on-site.
Note that, as stated in the Guideline, regional and municipal infrastructure projects do not necessarily require land
base compensation, although the Guideline does suggest that TRCA track losses and work with municipalities to
identify opportunities to provide land base back to the natural heritage system through TRCA's Greenland's
Acquisition and municipal land securement programs. It should also be noted that the compensation requirements
for Metrolinx projects (included in this report) follow the Metrolinx Vegetation Guideline requirements, which are
based in part on the TRCA Guideline. Restoration to offset Metrolinx tree removals is also being implemented ahead
of removals as a Best Management Practice and as part of the effort to reduce the time lag required for
compensation plantings to grow.

2020 Ecosystem Compensation Program Summary Report
Goal 2: Accountability
Assessing the level of accountability through the administration of the Ecosystem Compensation Program is an
important measure of governance for two reasons. First, ecosystem compensation is often tied to agreements where
specific outcomes are required. Agreements ensure transparent, consistent, and timely compensation. In support of
this goal, the Program Review Team developed a compensation agreement template to ensure that principal
elements are included in each agreement. Similarly, following the formal agreement execution, invoices are sent to
the proponent to provide simple traceability of funds.
Second, in situations where the proponent is not implementing the compensation themselves and funds are received
by TRCA as cash -in -lieu, financial accountability ensures that the funds are used as intended. The Compensation
Database tracks when and where compensation funds are used and demonstrates that required restoration targets
are being met.
The establishment of the Framework in 2019 has increased accountability as the Ecosystem Compensation Program
becomes more integrated across departments. Workflow improvements (e.g., timely data entry and notification) in
the Compensation Database reduced the administrative burden and increased the availability of information. Funds
are tracked against required restoration targets in addition to standard financial project tracking.
The Framework was implemented to guide and track the movement of funds for compensation, improve
interdepartmental communications, and standardize reporting on program and project outcomes. As outlined in the
Framework, reporting on individual files is completed by the Project Review Team, and annual program reports are
prepared by the Program Review Team. This year the Restoration Site Selection Brief report was updated to make
roles and responsibilities within the Project Review Team clearer. Thirty briefs were prepared this year and circulated
within the Project Review Team for approval prior to starting restoration projects and transferring funds. Program
reports, such as this one, help guide the future development of compensation practices at TRCA by reviewing goals,
progress, and recommendations for further improvement.
Goal 3: Transparency
Compensation for lost natural features is executed at municipal, provincial, and federal levels through various by-
laws, policies, and regulations. TRCA's role in compensation can be as a regulator, advisor, or compensation project
implementer, therefore, transparency throughout the compensation process is important to achieve fairness and
compliance in the execution of an Ecosystem Compensation Program. Through the Guideline and Framework,
mechanisms have been developed to demonstrate transparency, including:
• A clear description of how TRCA determines and executes compensation requirements;
• Restoration Site Selection Briefs that outline the compensation requirements and restoration site selection
decisions, and provide details on proposed implementation;
• Project completion reports that summarize project implementation deliverables;
• Post -construction assessment reporting 1, 3, and 5 years after completion, in addition to pre- and post -
restoration implementation monitoring;
• Financial tracking; and
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority 12
2020 Ecosystem Compensation Program Summary Report
• Annual reporting to the TRCA Board of Directors on the overall Ecosystem Compensation Program
Note that this reporting only covers projects implemented by TRCA. In the future, this type of reporting could be
applied to projects implemented by other agencies.
Over the course of 2020, older files were incorporated into the Compensation Database and more Restoration Site
Selection Briefs were circulated within the Project Review Team. These efforts contributed to greater transparency
across the Ecosystem Compensation Program.
Goal 4: Consistency
The Guideline stresses the need to ensure consistency throughout the compensation process. This applies to
determining compensation requirements for lost natural features, calculating the cost of compensation lands, and
implementing restoration projects, as well as ensuring that restoration projects meet a high standard. Mechanisms in
the Framework facilitate consistency by providing:
• Improved lines of communication between Project Review Team members by clearly defining team member roles
and workflows throughout the life of a compensation project;
• Specific targets and ratios to compensate for unavoidable losses to ensure the decisions are clearly understood
and can be easily repeated file -by -file;
• A centralized database that all TRCA staff can use to calculate compensation requirements and implementation
costs, and track and report on project status;
• Restoration project cost estimates for implementing different cover types (wetland, forest, meadow, etc.) that
detail required components to ensure that project design and implementation meet a high standard whether
completed by TRCA or external proponents and consultants; and
• Agreement and Reporting templates (e.g., Restoration Site Selection Brief, Compensation Database) that record
the same information for each compensation file.
These tools enable as much consistency as possible between individual plan review files and restoration projects.
However, it is unreasonable to expect 100% consistency as many different factors affect each file, including the
mechanism for compensation: it may be internal and tied to the Conservation Authority (CA) permit, or external and
through a Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) or Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) process. In all
cases TRCA strives for consistency.
Table 2, Funds Received and Consistency with TRCA Guideline, presents cash -in -lieu funds received by TRCA
compared with funds requested in 2017-2020. This table shows that, over the last four years, TRCA successfully
negotiated full cost recovery for restoration projects 96% of the time. Discrepancies are due to funds being reduced
during negotiations with proponents and other agencies. These cases usually involve infrastructure and external
regulatory agencies such as DFO.

Before the Guideline was developed, there was less emphasis on keeping restoration within a municipality or
watershed where the compensation project occurred; under the Guideline, adherence to this principle has become
more consistent. Of the funds received between 2017 and 2020, 93% of restoration projects were undertaken in the
same municipality and 87% were in the same watershed. When looking at funds received in 2020 alone, 100% of
restoration projects were implemented in the same municipality, and 83% were in the same watershed. Tables 3a and
3b compare where compensation projects occurred and restoration projects occurred. Sometimes the restoration site
selection rationale suggests a location outside the impacted municipality or watershed; this is a decision agreed upon
by the Project Review Team in consultation with the affected municipalities. For example, in 2017-2020 there were six
restoration projects funded by compensation projects in Toronto: four of the restoration projects were implemented
within Toronto; compensation funds from the Toronto Waterfront were reallocated (as agreed by TRCA, Toronto, and
DFO) to a Waterfront restoration projects in Ajax; and one final impact in Toronto was allocated to a restoration
project within the same watershed just north of the Toronto -Vaughan border.

Tables 4a and 4b provide additional information on the proximity of restoration compensation sites to losses across
the jurisdiction. The average distance between an impact and restoration site within various municipalities between
1994-2020 was 3.7 km, and the maximum distance of 30.4 km resulted from a Toronto impact along the waterfront
where restoration occurred elsewhere along the waterfront. When looking at the distance from impact to restoration
within the watershed, the average distance is 4.4 km, and the maximum distance is that same 30.4 km. Comparing
these numbers against future reporting will help to assess TRCXs ability to find restoration compensation sites near
impacted areas. When pre -2017 information was entered into the Compensation Database, the average distances
between impacts and restoration increased from the 2.61 km reported last year, which is another indication that sites
selected in previous years were typically farther apart.

Goal 5: Efficiency and Timeliness
The Guideline directs that restoration should be achieved in a timely manner. This minimizes the time lag between
the lost ecosystem functions and those that are provided by restoration implementation.
Targets for time lag goals were set in the 2019 program summary report.
• Time from receipt of cash -in -lieu funds to starting or initiating projects to be within 1 year;
• Time from receipt of cash -in -lieu funds to project implementation to be within 2 years; and
• Time from receipt of cash -in -lieu funds to project completion to be within 7 years.
The tables below (Tables 5-7) indicate that TRCA has met these goals for 2017-2020, with a few exceptions. Negative
numbers in the time lag column indicate that restoration (planning and/or implementation) began prior to receiving
funds. This is common when projects are invoiced after implementation as per agreement. This also occurred in 2020
when TRCA allocated the ecosystem bank at the Toronto Islands to help offset impacts within Toronto related to the
Ashbridge's Bay Landform Project. Time lags for years 4 onward represent estimates of future activities beyond 2020
and may be adjusted as restoration project implementation progresses.

2020 Ecosystem Compensation Program Summary Report
Goal 6: Adaptability
Undertaking an adaptable management strategy for compensation is important on a project and program basis. At
the project level, being adaptable is important as there are often multiple stakeholders working toward complex
solutions and no two projects are alike. As a result, it can be challenging to have a consistent one -solution approach
to compensation. Adaptability is particularly important in urban restoration projects where there are multiple
constraints that add uncertainty and threaten the projects' viability and longevity (e.g., invasive species, soil
compaction, urban storm runoff, etc.). Post -implementation assessments and monitoring are essential to understand
the trajectory of a restoration project and to adapt maintenance to ensure that the target ecosystem functions are
maximized.
At the program level, adaptation relates to understanding gaps, deficiencies, or inconsistencies in how compensation
decisions are tracked and executed and making changes to ensure regulatory requirements are met in the best
possible manner. Adaptation ensures that we integrate the lessons learned from working with the Guideline and
Framework, so that the program can grow, become more robust and defensible, and achieve its goals. In 2020 TRCA
worked to understand the gaps in existing systems. Restoration and Resource Management continues to work with
the Finance and Information Technology & Records Management (ITRM) business units to further refine the
Compensation Database, including the information it can store and report, and its connections to other internal
databases. Mechanisms in the Guideline and the Framework that relate to adaptation include:
• Annual summary reporting of the Ecosystem Compensation Program using metrics to assess performance and
provide recommendations for adaptation where necessary;
• Improved lines of communication to ensure decisions are reviewed and commented on by the appropriate staff
on the Project Review Team in a timely manner; and
• Post -construction assessments, monitoring, and maintenance to maximize project performance and minimize lag
time between ecosystem functions lost through natural feature removal and those recovered through
restoration.
DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the information presented above, the following sections outline key points with recommendations for the
Ecosystem Compensation Program.
Goal 1: No Net Loss
Currently, compensation implementation specific only to TRCA projects is achieving an overall net gain of natural
feature area. However, this must be viewed cautiously since the results in this summary relate only to compensation
projects where TRCA has received cash -in -lieu funding. As stated in the Details section above, situations where losses
occur that do not result in compensation are not reflected in this assessment. As previously noted, on-site restoration
and compensation implemented by other agencies are also not included in this assessment. Although this summary
does not reflect the complete picture of compensation, it does provide an understanding around TRCA best practices
(i.e., is TRCA effectively implementing enough off-site compensation projects to match the required losses where
compensation is applied?).
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority 1 18
2020 Ecosystem Compensation Program Summary Report
The net gain identified in the results was achieved through project efficiencies. In other words, funds remaining once
restoration requirements were met were used to provide value-added restoration (i.e., more natural features) to
existing projects. As noted earlier, there is currently an 11.1 ha deficit in meadow habitat and a 7.4 m deficit in stream
habitat resulting from undervaluing the cost of restoration. To address the continued restoration requirement for
meadow and stream habitat, TRCA will continue to implement restoration projects in an efficient manner and look for
opportunities where surplus compensation funds can be leveraged with new funds to meet the required
compensation targets.
To better track restoration gains, TRCA will investigate methods of incorporating other business units currently
implementing projects (including Forestry, Engineering Projects, Project Management Services, and Property and Risk
Management) into the Compensation Databases so that all project activities implemented with compensation funds
can be tracked accordingly.
Tracking internal impacts and compensation would also add additional information to the ecosystem net balance
equations. TRCA projects are typically self -compensating, but to be consistent with the Framework, it is
recommended that a standard method of tracking internal project impacts and compensation be included in the
Compensation Database.
To capture the larger scope of losses and gains, the Compensation Database should be updated with losses that do
not result in cash -in -lieu being received by TRCA. This would include scenarios where natural feature losses occur and
funds are directed to an external municipal partner or consultant, or where no restoration results are
expected/achieved. Additionally, Compensation Database updates could include scenarios where land base losses
occur and on-site compensation is not enough to meet the loss, therefore losses are satisfied by transferring lands to
a municipal partner or TRCA or funds are directed to a municipal partner. There are opportunities for integration with
a new Infrastructure Planning and Development database called PARES (Planning Application Review and
Enforcement System) that could assist with tracking losses in the future. Collaboration between TRCA departments
will continue towards more integration of data to improve communication and reporting.
Goal 2: Accountability
Improved tracking and reporting through the Compensation Database have enabled greater accountability through
more robust data summaries and improved lines of communication. In 2020 the Compensation Database User
Manual was also updated to reflect the many changes to the database since 2017. The data show that the amount of
funds TRCA receives from compensation continues to grow every year (Figure 4). This is also true of the funds spent
to implement restoration projects. When comparing received funds with expenditures, the data show that despite
TRCA's ability to implement more projects over the years, further increases in available resources (staff, materials,
equipment, contractors) will also be needed to keep up with greater cash -in -lieu funds being received. Restoration
and Resource Management will look to increase staff support in 2021 to assist with project implementation and
program management. This will ensure that restoration projects are implemented in a timely manner and that the lag
time between feature loss and restoration implementation is minimized.
Goal 3: Transparency
The Ecosystem Compensation Program has become even more transparent since the adoption of the Guideline and
the implementation of the Framework. As the program develops, it will be important to determine if these
mechanisms continue to demonstrate open and transparent lines of communication externally and internally. For
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority 1 19
2020 Ecosystem Compensation Program Summary Report
example, are we responding quickly enough to requests for information? Are we providing enough information to
inform agencies and proponents about the allocation of compensation funds? Is there a clear understanding from
proponents and agencies about what TRCA is doing with cash -in -lieu funds received? TRCA staff continue to make
improvements in this area. Examples of this improved transparency are revisions to Restoration Site Selection Briefs
to provide more detail on projects; revisions to the compensation agreements (currently under legal review) to reflect
adherence to the Guideline; and collaborative meetings with municipalities and other stakeholders to ensure clear
communication of TRCA's Ecosystem Compensation Program. Given its importance, transparency will continue to be
assessed in future summary reports.
Goal 4: Consistency
TRCA strives to achieve restoration within the same municipality where the impact originated. Table 3a shows that
although there are exceptions to this rule, as agreed upon by the Project Review Team and the municipality, TRCA
successfully accomplishes this in most cases. When selecting a site for restoration, funds are directed primarily within
the municipality first and within the watershed second. In some cases, for larger or more complicated projects, it may
be necessary to obtain direction from the Program Review Team as well.
Since the adoption of the Guideline and the Framework, consistency of data input to the Compensation
Database has increased significantly, allowing for more useful information to be retrieved. Additionally, a more
consistent approach to roles, responsibilities, and workflow has improved interdepartmental communication
and overall understanding of policies and procedures related to compensation practices. Although each file is
different and negotiations could alter the eventual outcome, staff should continue to strive for consistency
when applying the Guideline principles.
Goal 5: Efficiency and Timeliness
The 2019 annual report on the Ecosystem Compensation Program set targets for efficiency and timeliness which TRCA
will continue to strive for. The targets set last year are referenced below and were developed by looking at the then
current time lags for the full set of restoration projects. The 2020 assessment (2017-2020) shows that TRCA achieved
the follow percentages:
• 100% of projects were started or initiated within 1 year of receipt of funds; this is up from 69% when reported in
2019;
• 96% of projects were done active implementation within 2 years of receipt of funds; this is up from 49% when
reported in 2019; and
• 93% of projects were completed and funds fully spent (including monitoring and maintenance) within 7 years of
receipt of funds; this is up from 70% when reported in 2019.
These targets will be used in subsequent summary reports to measure ongoing performance and to highlight
recommendations for future adaptation strategies. One recommendation for future action is to increase the
availability of the resources needed to implement more compensation projects each year. These resources include
staff, machinery, equipment, and contractors. In 2021, Restoration and Resource Management will seek to hire a new
staff to assist with restoration projects that result from compensation projects. It is important to note that meadow
restoration has a longer monitoring and maintenance phase and will not conform to the third goal for having funds
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority 1 20
2020 Ecosystem Compensation Program Summary Report
spent in 7 years. Some projects may also get stalled due to delays in securing restoration project permitting and
partner agreements. Sometimes this is beyond the control of the project manager, however, new efficiencies may be
found by improving communication with regulatory agencies and stakeholders (e.g., yearly restoration project
screening meetings with regulatory bodies).
Goal 6: Adaptability
Compensation implementation is complicated and can vary from file to file, so it can be a challenge to achieve a
consistent approach with each proponent and/or regulatory agency. The Ecosystem Compensation Program needs to
be adaptable to account for the complexities of each file and to ensure that the overall Ecosystem Compensation
Program can adapt when significant changes are required. These instances may include but are not limited to the
following:
• New scientific understanding as it applies to ecosystem function and the impacts of natural feature losses;
• Identifying specific deficiencies in the Ecosystem Compensation Program and taking actions for improvement;
• Collaboration and data sharing with other regulatory agencies that inform process change needs;
• Feedback from proponents and municipalities that can inform process and communication improvements;
• Undertaking comparative analysis of other jurisdictions' approaches to compensation to inform best practices
and program changes; and
• Monitoring results that identify a need to change restoration practices.
The factors above have been critical to the development of the Guideline and the Framework, and there has been
significant adaptation in the past few years to improve the Ecosystem Compensation Program. TRCA will continue to
assess performance, share information, acquire stakeholder feedback, and use updated science to adapt and
minimize program deficiencies.
Major adaptations that occurred during 2020 included:
• Refinements to the financial process and flow of information;
• Development of a standard compensation agreement template;
• Collaboration and adjustment of year-end account procedures;
• Data reporting alignment with existing reporting structures; and
• Adjustments to staff roles and responsibilities regarding communication between departments and data entry
into the Compensation Database.
Future adaptations will be outlined, assessed, and reported on in subsequent compensation summary reporting.
NEXT STEPS
The items outlined here will direct the focus for Program improvements over the course of 2021.
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority 21
2020 Ecosystem Compensation Program Summary Report
No Net Loss: To make sure that the restoration required to compensate for losses is held to a high standard, the
restoration costs for typical habitat types have been updated to include the new 2020 full cost staff rates for fee for
service works, as well as increases to construction costs, and recommended adaptations to design and
implementation practices based on monitoring results and scientific research. A longer-term review of the Ecosystem
Compensation Program will be needed to assess effectiveness of the no net loss principles as described in the
Guideline. To help assess the net balance of compensation decisions, Compensation Database updates and
integration across Divisions will be investigated. In addition, TRCA will work to standardize how internal projects
(those that result in an impact and associated compensation) get tracked in the Compensation Database.
Accountability: Staff will continue to improve the Compensation Database to ensure it captures information required
for file review and reporting. It is important that the information is easily accessible to both the Project and Program
Review Teams, as the annual Ecosystem Compensation Program summary report will depend on accurate outputs
from the Compensation Database. To aid staff in data entry, a Compensation Database User Manual was produced in
2020 and subsequent training will occur throughout various TRCA divisions.
Transparency: Transparency will continue to be improved in 2021 as old (pre -2017) information on losses and
restoration are uploaded into the Compensation Database. This will allow for more fulsome reporting on
compensation projects covering a longer period and ensure that all compensation funds are being addressed in a
timely manner.
Consistency: The Program Review Team will continue to meet and discuss items that require clarity or adaptation so
that TRCA staff continue to implement compensation uniformly. Discussions will be held with other levels of
government, including our municipal partners and other conservation authorities, to help ensure that compensation
across southern Ontario is undertaken in a consistent manner while recognizing regional differences in development
patterns and landscapes.
Efficiency and Timeliness: With both the Guideline and the Framework in place, and with program reporting
underway, it is necessary to ensure that restoration keeps pace with losses on the landscape by reducing the
administration time lag associated with establishing new natural features and then allowing them to mature. 2020
has seen streamlining and improved understanding of the Guideline and Framework processes. In 2021 the plan to
increase resources in TRCA's Restoration and Resource Management business units will improve capacity, reduce
timelines (outside of external permit and approval delays, such as those required to implement restoration projects),
and help to draw down funds currently allocated for restoration.
Compensation Database updates to automate summary report generation in 2021 will also improve the efficiency and
timeliness of the Program reporting next year. Increased access to ITRM resources will be required to support this.
Adaptability: The Ecosystem Compensation Program will continue to be refined to meet the Framework goals and
objectives. There are three principal areas that will continue to be investigated and addressed. First is the concept
developed in the Guideline of applying basal area as a simple proxy for natural feature functions; this will be reviewed
with external professionals to determine if the concept can be stronger. Second will be improvements to tracking land
base losses that occur without compensation to represent natural heritage system losses more accurately. Land base
loss tracking improvements will be sought for losses that result from Environmental Assessments, regional and
municipal projects, as well as on-site compensation, so that losses and gains can be tracked more effectively and
compared to local Greenland Acquisition and Securement Strategies, thereby capturing the net natural feature
balance across TRCA's jurisdiction. Finally, incorporating property and asset management costs for lands dedicated to

TRCA as part of a compensation project will be explored to ensure that TRCA is able to sustainably maintain those
lands for the future.

CARRIED
BACKGROUND
TRCA, in partnership with the City of Toronto, has commenced construction of three shore -
connected breakwaters and a headland -beach system as part of the Ashbridges Bay Treatment
Plant (ABTP) Landform Project located on the north shore of Lake Ontario, in the City of
Toronto.
The Ashbridges Bay area has been the subject of several environmental assessments intended
to identify a solution to local shoreline erosion and sediment deposition issues while considering
approved planning initiatives and current uses in the project area.
Erosion control for long-term shoreline stability and protection of existing facilities, as well as
management of sediment from the Coatsworth Cut navigation channel were identified as
critically important to the City of Toronto. An integrated approach was decided upon which
included the development of detailed designs and construction of the ABTP Landform as a
solution to the erosion and sediment control issues at Ashbridges Bay.
Construction of the ABTP Landform, in accordance with the detailed designs, was authorized
during the City Council meetings on April 16 and 17, 2019.
At TRCA's Board of Directors meeting #4/19, held on April 26, 2019, RES.#A56/19 provided
staff with direction to negotiate and enter into and execute one or more service agreements with
the City of Toronto to construct the Ashbridges Bay Treatment Plant Landform. The final
agreement for construction of the ABTP Landform Project was executed on December 23, 2019
and construction activities officially began on January 13, 2020.
A comprehensive implementation phasing plan for the landform was prepared as part of
detailed design. Construction of the Landform will be split into three components and three
corresponding cells, which will be constructed from west to east. Each phase involves the
construction of a confinement berm to isolate the fill area from the lake, the filling of the cell, the
construction of a protective headland -beach system, and submerged shoal habitat features.
There is also a central and east breakwater, which together, provides a long-term solution to
address the sedimentation issue within the Coatsworth Cut navigation channel which TRCA
currently maintains through a $250,000 per year dredging program.
Given the scope of the Landform Project, an estimated five to six-year phased approach is
required to construct the works commencing in 2020. The phases are as follows and are
depicted in Figure 1:
• Phase 1 — Construction of the Cell 1 confinement berm, filling of Cell 1, and construction
of the headland -beach system and submerged shoals associated with Cell 1
• Phase 2 — Construction of Cell 2 confinement berm, filling of Cell 2, construction of
headland -beach system and submerged shoals associated with Cell 2
• Phase 3 — Construction of the Cell 3 confinement berm, filling of Cell 3, and armourstone
and rip -rap placement
• Phase 4 and 5 — Construction of Eastern and Central Breakwater, and shoal
construction
Approval to award Contract #10020798 for supply and delivery of material required for the
construction of the Cell 1 confinement berm was recommended for approval at Executive
Committee meeting #4/19 held on Friday May 03, 2019 and was approved at the Board of
Directors meeting #5/19 held on Friday May 24, 2019.
Construction of the Cell 1 confinement berm commenced on February 5, 2020 and was
completed on June 19, 2020.
Approval to award Contract #10033378 for supply and delivery of material required for
construction of the Cell 2 confinement berm was recommended for approval at Executive
Committee meeting #4/20 held on June 12, 2020 and was approved at the Board of Directors
meeting #5/20 held on June 26, 2020.
Construction of the Cell 2 confinement berm commenced on June 22, 2020 and was completed
on October 28, 2020.
RATIONALE
Both Cell 1 and Cell 2 confinement berms have been completed and staff are preparing to begin
construction of two of the four headlands.
These headlands are designed to provide protection to the confinement berms, and retain
cobble beach material which will be procured through a separate contract in the future.
A Request for Tender for supply and delivery of materials required to build the West and Central
West headlands was publicly advertised on the public procurement website www.biddingo.com
on November 9, 2020. An optional meeting and site tour was held on November 18, 2020. The
RFT closed on November 30, 2020.
Two addendums were issued to respond to questions received.
A total of 25 firms downloaded the documents and submissions were received from the
following Proponent(s):
• Bot Construction Limited
• CDR Young's Aggregates
• Dufferin Aggregates
• Glenn Windrem Trucking
• Miller Paving Limited
The Procurement Opening Committee opened the Tenders on November 30, 2020 with the
following results:
Contract #10035223 — Supply and Delivery of 30,600 tonnes of 100-700 mm Core Stone
Proponent
Fee (Plus HST)
Bot Construction Limited
$1,059,066
Dufferin Aggregates
$1,071,612
Glenn Windrem Trucking
$1,243,890
Miller Paving Limited
$1,131,588
Staff reviewed the bid received from Bot Construction Limited against its own cost estimate and
has determined that the bid is of reasonable value and meets the requirements as outlined in
the RFT documents. Therefore, it is recommended that contract No. 10035223 be awarded to
Bot Construction Limited at a total cost not to exceed $1,059,066, plus 10% contingency, plus
applicable taxes, it being the lowest bid meeting TRCA's specifications.
Contract #10035225 — Supply and Delivery of 35,300 tonnes of 4 - 6 tonne Armour Stone
Proponent Fee (Plus HST)
CDR Young's Aggregates $2,995,205
Staff reviewed the bid received from CDR Young's Aggregates against its own cost estimate
and has determined that the bid is of reasonable value and meets the requirements as outlined
in the RFT documents. Therefore, it is recommended that contract No. 10035225 be awarded to
CDR Young's Aggregates at a total cost not to exceed $2,995,205, plus 10% contingency, plus
applicable taxes, it being the lowest bid meeting TRCA's specifications.
Contract #10035226 — Supply and Delivery of 9,200 tonnes of 3 - 5 tonne Armour Stone
Proponent Fee (Plus HST)
Glenn Windrem Trucking $780,620
Staff reviewed the bid received from Glenn Windrem Trucking against its own cost estimate and
has determined that the bid is of reasonable value and meets the requirements as outlined in
the RFT documents. Therefore, it is recommended that contract No. 10035223 be awarded to
Glenn Windrem Trucking at a total cost not to exceed $780,620, plus 10% contingency, plus
applicable taxes, it being the lowest bid meeting TRCA's specifications.
One bid was received for Contracts #10035225 and #10035226 and based on past vendor
feedback it is mostly likely due to the limited number of available armour stone suppliers that
can meet the requirements of these contracts, both in quantity of stone required, as well as the
delivery rates expected during the term of the contracts.
Relationship to Building the Living City, the TRCA 2013-2022 Strategic Plan
This report supports the following strategic priorities set forth in the TRCA 2013-2022 Strategic
Plan:
Strategy 2 — Manage our regional water resources for current and future generations
Strategy 7 — Build partnerships and new business models
Strategy 12 — Facilitate a region -wide approach to sustainability
The supply of materials outlined in this report will provide long term shoreline erosion control to
existing City of Toronto facilities while providing a landbase for new City of Toronto
infrastructure including a High Rate Treatment Plant as identified in the Don River and Central
Waterfront EA. Further, by collaborating with the City of Toronto on this large-scale waterfront
construction initiative, which aligns closely with both City of Toronto and TRCA priorities, we are
strengthening our municipal relationships and demonstrating our ability to deliver on these types
of projects. The implementation of this project involves the integration of three Class EAs (two
City of Toronto led and one TRCA led) which will allow for a new High Rate Treatment Plant
allowing the City of Toronto to better address the treatment demands of a growing city, provide
long term erosion control to the Toronto shoreline and waterfront infrastructure, and address the
sedimentation issue within the Coatsworth Cut navigation channel which TRCA currently
maintains through a $250,000 per year dredging program.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The estimated project cost for construction of the Ashbridges Bay Treatment Plant Landform
Project is $96.0 million net of all applicable taxes ($97.7 million net of HST recoveries).
Funds to support these contracts will be recovered through the service agreement with the City
of Toronto and tracked under account code 183-02.

BACKGROUND
This request was brought to the attention of the Board of Directors at its meeting #10/19, held
on November 19, 2019, where Resolution #A219/19 was adopted in part as follows:
WHEREAS at Authority Meeting #7/18 held on September 28, 2018, Resolution
#A 159/18, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff was requested to
report back on lands north of Steeles Avenue E. west of Ninth Line and the main Rouge
River;
...THEREFORE, LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT TRCA enter into an exchange of land
with Remington (Parkview) Lands Inc. and Bluecrown Holdings Limited, on the following
basis...
...THAT TRCA receive consideration of $4,282,000.00 as well as all legal, survey and
other costs to be paid by Remington (Parkview) Lands Inc. which would be invested in
TRCA projects in York Region within the Rouge River watershed;
...THAT the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, the Regional Municipality of
York and the City of Markham be requested to concur with the exchange of lands and
allow TRCA to retain the net proceeds from the land exchange in accordance with an
agreement dated December 12, 2002; ...
Remington (Parkview) Lands Inc. (Remington) owns a 1 -hectare triangular parcel of land
located on the north side of Steeles Avenue East, immediately west of and abutting the TRCA's
former Tompion Limited lands as well as the lands north of the railway. Remington has
approached TRCA inquiring if TRCA would be interested in selling the westerly 1.13 hectares
(2.78 acres) of the former Tompion Limited lands as Remington was interested in incorporating
said lands into the development they are proposing. Staff support this since the Remington
parcel contains the only access to TRCA lands.
The former Tompion Limited lands were acquired by TRCA from Tompion Limited on December
18, 2002. The property is 16.5 hectares, more or less, in size and is traversed by the main
Rouge River. The original purchase was funded one-third by City of Markham, one-third by the
Regional Municipality of York and one-third by Ministry of Natural Resources through their
Ecological Land Acquisition Program.
At the time of the Tompion Limited lands acquisition, TRCA entered into two agreements. The
first was an option agreement with the Regional Municipality of York for the following portions of
the property:
a) Land required for the Markham By -Pass including any portions required for road, rail
and water crossings as determined in accordance with any Environmental
Assessment;
b) 8 meters along the east limit of the property with such additional widths at road, rail
and water crossings and grade separations and any other locations that require
additional physical structure or grading, along the east limit;
c) 8 meters along the south limit of the property with such additional widths at road, rail
and water crossings and grade separations and any other locations that require
additional physical structure or grading, along the south limit.
Staff have completed the Regional Municipality of York's requests in conveying lands for the
Steeles Avenue E and Ninth Line road widenings.
The second agreement was a five -party agreement between City of Markham, Regional
Municipality of York, Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), Rouge Park Alliance (the Rouge
Park Alliance was dissolved effective July 31, 2012) and TRCA. A clause in this agreement
provided that TRCA may dispose of the following part of the property:
a) referred to in the Option Agreement to the Region;
b) west of 30 metres from the top of the bank on the west side of the Rouge River,
provided the proceeds, after deducting TRCA' s reasonable costs, are paid equally to
MNR, Markham and the Region.
TRCA staff approached the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF), Regional
Municipality of York and the City of Markham to discuss whether they would waive the
requirement for re -payment of the net proceeds. In the initial discussions with Regional
Municipality of York and City of Markham officials, they had indicated they would look favourably
on waiving the requirement if the difference in market value was invested in TRCA projects
nearby subject to receiving Board direction.
Formal letters were sent to staff of the Regional Municipality of York, City of Markham and
MNRF requesting to concur with the exchange of lands and resolve to allow TRCA to retain the
net proceeds from the land sale in accordance with an agreement dated December 12, 2002.
While no formal determination has been made by any party, during our discussions, York staff
indicated that they will require TRCA repay its third, with a possibility TRCA will have access to
the funds through regular budgetary processes. City of Markham staff suggested that TRCA
repay the third and the City hold the funds for TRCA projects that will require the City's
approval, while the Province through MNRF has stated they are awaiting the Region's and
City's position before deciding on the request to waive the one third repayment. Once
determinations have been made, staff will work with all parties to ensure TRCA obligations are
fulfilled.
Further developments in the waiving of repayment process has led to changes in the negotiation
that are not represented by RES #A219/19. Regional Municipality of York and City of Markham
staff have indicated that they will not support a land swap as the Bluecrown Holdings Limited as
the lands to be acquired are outside of York Region. Based on the original appraisal, staff have
negotiated the purchase of these lands, separately from the sale of the Tompion Limited lands.
The acquisition of the Bluecrown Holdings Limited lands is now proposed to be a separate
transaction, rather than tied to a land swap.
Through the repayment waiver discussions with Regional Municipality of York and City of
Markham staff, a discussion on the appraised value of the Tompion Limited lands was held
which led to both Regional Municipality of York and TRCA commissioning an additional
appraisal each. Through multiple meetings with staff and the proponent regarding the value of
the buffer lands, an additional $250,000 was negotiated bringing the compensation for the
Tompion Limited lands from $4,982,000 to $5,232,000.
Attachments 1-2 are sketch and orthophoto illustrating the location of the former Tompion
lands.
RATIONALE
When TRCA originally acquired the subject the Tompion lands, it was contemplated that TRCA
may consider disposing of the non -ecologically significant westerly portion of the site sometime
in the future.
The three external vested parties (Regional Municipality of York, City of Markham and MNRF)
are aware of the land disposal and have made no objections. As per section 4.5.3 of the
Conservation Authorities Policy and Procedure Manual (Policies and Procedures for the
Disposition of Conservation Authority Property) this disposal did not follow an open process with
public notification as the property is landlocked or not separately viable and is being sold to the
adjacent owner.

Relationship to Building the Living City, the TRCA 2013-2022 Strategic Plan
This report supports the following strategies set forth in the TRCA 2013-2022 Strategic Plan:
Strategy 2 — Manage our regional water resources for current and future generations
Strategy 3 — Rethink greenspace to maximize its value
Strategy 4 — Create complete communities that integrate nature and the built
environment
Strategy 7 — Build partnerships and new business models
Strategy 12 - Facilitate a region -wide approach to sustainability
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Funds for the acquisition of Bluecrown Holding Limited are available in the 940-74, Section 39 —
Provincial Land Sale Reserve.
Based on TRCA's preliminary review of the environmental criteria for lands that are eligible to
receive a property tax exemption under the provincial Conservation Land Tax Incentive
Program, it appears that a portion of the subject property should be eligible for a tax exemption.
It is estimated that the taxable portion of the subject parcel of land will be $400-$600 per year. It
is anticipated that the addition of this property will not significantly impact TRCA's maintenance
costs at this location.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Upon approval, TRCA staff will execute an APS with Bluecrown Holdings Limited and close the
transaction.

RES.#B91/20 - DECLARATION OF SURPLUS LANDS AND PROPOSED APPROACH
TO ADD VALUE PRIOR TO DISPOSITION IN SUPPORT OF
WATERFRONT TRAIL AND SHORELINE RESTORATION
OBJECTIVES
Declaration of surplus lands, municipally known as 805 & 809 St. Martins
Drive, City of Pickering, Regional municipality of Durham, Frenchman's
Bay Watershed and proposed approach to work with the City of Pickering
to add value to the property prior to disposition in support of joint City and
TRCA Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail and shoreline restoration objectives
(CFN 64096).
Moved by: Ronald Chopowick
Seconded by: Paul Ainslie
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff have identified two parcels of land, municipally
known as 805 & 809 St. Martins Drive in the City of Pickering, to be surplus;
AND WHEREAS it is in the best interest of TRCA, in furthering its objectives as set out in
Section 20 of the Conservation Authorities Act, to declare surplus lands that are not
required for conservation and flood protection purposes;
AND WHEREAS staff have identified an opportunity to potentially add value to the
surplus lands prior to disposition through soft cost servicing and planning approvals;
THEREFORE, LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT TRCA deem the two parcels of land
containing 0.21 hectares (0.52 acres), more or less of vacant lands, located east of St.
Martins Drive, said lands being Lots 2, 3, & Part of Lot 1, Registered Plan 239; Pickering
Being Part 8, on Plan 40R-11026 City of Pickering, Regional Municipality of Durham (805
St. Martins Drive) and Lot 5 & Part of Lot 6, Registered Plan 239; City of Pickering,
Regional Municipality of Durham (809 St. Martins Drive) as surplus;
AND FURTHER LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT staff proceed to investigate the highest
value for disposition, required measures to achieve this enhanced value, and potential
projects for furtherance of trail development within the Frenchman's Bay watershed and
report back to the Executive Committee with a proposed approach and draft MOU with
the City of Pickering once this is determined.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
805 & 809 St. Martins Drive were acquired from Sandbury Building Corporation and 448404
Ontario Limited, on November 30, 1992 under the acquisition of the Sandbury Building
Corporation Property/Frenchman's Bay Area Project. The Properties contain no ecologically
significant features and were originally acquired for use as parkland. While nearby lands to the
west have been used for parkland, these lands have not been, nor are there any plans to utilize
the lands as parkland.
Funds for Sandbury Building Corporation Property/Frenchman's Bay Area Project were
provided by the Province of Ontario $451,295.27 (47.4%) and the City of Pickering $500,000
(52.6%).
Attachment 1 is a sketch illustrating the location of the subject lands. Attachment 2 is an
orthophoto illustrating the location of the subject lands.
RATIONALE
Declaring the subject lands surplus is in alignment with TRCA's Strategic Plan, specifically the
goal of rethink greenspace to maximize its value, as well as build partnerships with member
municipalities. The Properties are currently vacant lots of record, without servicing, located in an
area where more intensive forms of house are being pursued by private sector interests.
The surplus declaration and value enhancement work for these surplus lands will allow TRCA to
further its mandate within the Frenchman's Bay watershed and will be beneficial to TRCA, City
of Pickering, Region of Durham, the Province and the public at large.
Prior to disposition, staff will confirm our preliminary findings of the value enhancement
opportunity through a detailed business case/pro forma on how a soft cost redevelopment (e.g.,
obtain certain approvals without capital works) would increase the relative land value prior to
disposition. Any costs associated to the redevelopment would be recuperated through the sale
of the lands at a higher value.
Staff will also be working with the City of Pickering to determine how any proceeds from the sale
would be invested in priority projects via a MOU agreement that would be brought forward to
TRCA Board of Directors in a future report.
Relationship to Building the Living City, the TRCA 2013-2022 Strategic Plan
This report supports the following strategies set forth in the TRCA 2013-2022 Strategic Plan
Strategy 3 — Rethink greenspace to maximize its value
Strategy 7 — Build partnerships and new business models
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Once the lands are declared surplus, the following work is required to be conducted to support
disposal and value enhancement of the lands:
1. Coordinate a detailed technical review by TRCA's staff. Appropriate terms and
conditions are to be prepared by the TRCA/City staff, including potential impact or
mitigation requirements relating to the lands;
2. Circulate information on the potential disposal to the local and regional municipalities;
3. Research and determine highest and best use for the lands based on market trends and
land use compatibility considerations;
4. On consent of the CFOO, potentially develop the lands to maximize value based on pro
forma findings (this will likely require retaining a development consultant, applying for
Planning Act approvals, and obtaining required studies in support of applications;
5. Duly publicize disposal, including adequate newspaper publication in at least one local
and one major Toronto region newspaper;
6. Taking into account COVID-19 requirements, conduct public open house information
session that will be held in the vicinity of St. Martins Drive, Pickering, which could be
coordinated with Planning Act requirements;
7. Report back to the Executive Committee with specific information relating to the
transaction once staff have been able to determine a final recommendation with respect
to the disposals and once the draft MOU with City of Pickering has been finalized.

the current 2019 Procurement Policy, the further extension of $91,375 and revised total contract
value of $340,000 requires approval from the Executive Committee.
RATIONALE
Snow removal and ice management services at various TRCA properties should continue to be
implemented throughout the 2020/2021 winter season to ensure the health and safety of TRCA
staff and visitors, and to mitigate injuries and major incidents. TRCA staff are requesting
approval to extend the current contracts for an additional 3 -month period.

2020 NINE MONTH FINANCIAL REPORT (SEPTEMBER 30, 2020)
Receipt of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA)
unaudited expenditures as of the end of the third quarter, September 301,
2020, for informational purposes.
Moved by: Anthony Perruzza
Seconded by: Linda Jackson
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the 2020 Financial Report for the nine-month period ended
September 30, be received.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
As part of TRCA's financial governance procedures, staff are presenting the 2020 Nine Month
Financial Report, which covers the period January 1, 2020 through to September 30, 2020. This
report provides information on the spend rate of expenditures and recognition of revenue for the
first nine months of 2020. For the purposes of this report, TRCA's four categories of revenue
have been combined into one category titled 'Revenue' in the attached financial charts. This
includes:
• Authority Generated: Revenues raised through activities such as user fees, retail,
rentals, program fees, event fees, and investment and interest income.
• Government Funded: Municipal, Federal and Provincial grants and contract services.
• Levies: Operating and Capital levies from municipal partners.
• Reserves: Accumulated surplus which is intended to finance unforeseen costs related to
ongoing operations or unfunded capital expenses for the organization.
RATIONALE
TRCA believes in transparency and accountability for its spending, revenue recognition and
performance of service delivery objectives against approved budgets, for both the organization
and for each project and program as an individual endeavor. This is further supported by
TRCA's core values of integrity, collaboration, accountability, respect and excellence. TRCA
recognizes that all projects and programs offered have cost implications and that all costs
incurred are reasonable and practical in support of services. Transparency throughout the
budget management process is achieved in part through the analysis and reporting on year-to-
date revenues/expenses as compared to the current fiscal year budget. In order to improve the
accuracy in reporting anticipated issues in expenditures, TRCA established a seasonal
forecasting baseline using historical data from the past three years to estimate the seasonal
variances within each program area.
Relationship to Building the Living City, the TRCA 2013-2022 Strategic Plan
This report supports the following strategy set forth in the TRCA 2013-2022 Strategic Plan:
Strategy 9 — Measure performance
The operating and capital report by Service Area and underlying Program Areas are provided in
Attachments 1 through 5. The attachments provide a summary analysis of expenditures and
revenues to date and the variance explanations by Program Area. The variance threshold for
both revenue and expenditures are +/- 10% and $500,000 from anticipated. Variances within
these thresholds are deemed to be within the expected range. The capital report contains ten
revenue variances and ten expenditure variances whereas the operating report contains five
revenue variances and three expenditure variances. Attachment 5 explains each variance. A
summary of the third quarter capital budget is shown in Table 1 below.

At year end, the net capital budget will approximate $0 as the excess of capital revenue reflects
projects and services that have not yet been achieved, and as such will be deferred into the
subsequent fiscal year.
A summary of the third quarter operating budget is shown in Table 2 below.

The goal for operating budget is to end the year in a positive position, considering the
substantial impacts of COVID-19 on TRCA's operations.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Staff are constantly analyzing TRCA's operations in the context of COVID-19's impact on the
organization's revenues and expenditures and potential for government funding to reduce the
repercussions to staff complement, while ensuring that the safety of staff and the public is
maintained. An analysis of the current and anticipated impacts of COVID-19 on TRCA's
authority generated revenues is provided in the accompanying report titled 2020 COVID-19
Update — Financial Report.
To mitigate the negative impacts to operations, TRCA staff will continue to monitor for new grant
opportunities including potential funding opportunities through the Federal Government's
COVID-19 Economic Response Plan. Staff have initiated communications with program officers

Attachment 5: Variance Explanations
CAPTIAL REPORTABLE VARIANCE NOTES - EXPENDITURES (Figures in 000's)
A
The lower than anticipated expenditures are due to the delay of in-person consultation for the Carruthers Creek
Watershed Plan as a result of COVID-19. Once this is taken into account, the variance is $97 and 6% which is within
the acceptable threshold.
B
The lower than anticipated expenditures are due the delay of a vehicle purchase to 2021 and lower than
anticipated staff costs for the Port Lands Flood Protection project. Once these are taken into account, the variance
is $406 and 9% which is within the acceptable threshold.
C
The lower than anticipated expenditures are due to COVID-19 delays and staff gapping for tributary monitoring and
water quality monitoring, which are contracted services, in addition to cost savings realized in the Meadoway
monitoring program. Once this is taken into account, the variance is $209 and 8% which is within the acceptable
threshold.
D
The lower than anticipated expenditures are due to COVID-19 delays and staff gapping for a number of programs
including: fisheries acoustic tagging, aquatic system science, and the terrestrial natural heritage project. Additionally,
a delayed request for invoice for the York Urban Forest Canopy program will be paid in Q4. Once this is taken into
account, the variance is $94 and 8% which is within the acceptable threshold.
E
The lower than anticipated expenditures are due to delays in the design and permitting for the Albion Hills
Conservation Area new office and workshop as part of the Albion Hills Master Plan implementation. Once this is
taken into account, the variance is $171 and 4% which is within the acceptable threshold.
F
The lower than anticipated expenditures are due to the delay in implementation of the Scarborough
Waterfront Project, which has been deferred to 2021. Once this is taken into account, the variance is $206 and 7%
which is within the acceptable threshold.
G
The lower than anticipated expenditures are due to a number of trail infrastructure projects including: Burke Brook
Ravine trail improvements, which has been delayed due to the complexity of the design; Morningside Park trail
improvements, which are delayed due to extended property and easement negotiations; Meadoway Trail
implementation which has been deferred to 2021; Nashville Conservation Reserve Multi -Use Trail, which began
construction in Q3 and will carry into 2021. Once this is taken into account, the variance is $884 and 8% which is
within the acceptable threshold.
H
The lower than anticipated expenditures are due to the cancellation of in-person events and training, as well as staff
gapping and redeployment of staff due to COVID-19 restrictions. Once this is taken into account, the variance is $529
and 9% which is within the acceptable threshold.
I
The lower than anticipated expenditures are due to the cancellation of community-based restoration activities and
events in 2020 as a result of COVID-19. Once this is taken into account, the variance is $241 and 8% which is within
the acceptable threshold.
J
The lower than anticipated expenditures are as a result of the previous delay in construction of the administrative
office building. As a result of COVID-19 restrictions, construction and permitting were both delayed in Q2 but have
since resumed with a revised substantial completion target of June 2022. Once this is taken into account, the
variance is $2,879 and 9% which is within the acceptable threshold.
CAPTIAL REPORTABLE VARIANCE NOTES - REVENUES (Figures in 000's)
K
Revenue is lower than anticipated due delayed invoicing for the Toronto Stormwater Management Pond
Maintenance and Retrofits. Once this is taken into account, the variance is ($604) and -9% which is within the
acceptable threshold.
L
Revenue is lower than anticipated due to timing of invoices for a number of capital works projects including:
Lakeview Waterfront Connection Project, Upper Highland Trail at Ellesmere and Mud Creek Reach 6. Additionally,
prior year agreement delays for Phase 1 of the East Don Trail and Ashbridge's Bay Landform Implementation have
shifted portions of work forward into 2021. Once this is taken into account, the variance is ($6,563) and -8% which is
within the acceptable threshold.
Attachment 5: Variance Explanations
M
Revenue is lower than anticipated due to a delay in receipt of National Disaster and Mitigation Program (NDMP)
V
funding for several projects including: the City of Brampton Riverwalk Project, Pickering and Ajax Flood Control Dyke
Restoration Environmental Assessment and Black Creek at Rockcliffe Special Policy Area Flood Remediation and
Transportation Feasibility Study. Once this is taken into account, the variance is ($273) and -6% which is within the
W
acceptable threshold.
N
Revenue is higher than anticipated due to holding of surplus funds from the Toronto Wildlife Centre. Staff are
working with the City of Toronto to direct this funding towards additional tree canopy restoration projects in 2021.
Once this is taken into account, the variance is $709 and 7% which is within the acceptable threshold.
O
Revenue is lower than anticipated due to the revised 2020 scope of work for the Meadoway design and
implementation. Once this is taken into account, the variance is $1 and 0% which is within the acceptable threshold.
P
Revenue is higher than anticipated due to carrying of funds to support implementation of the Scarborough
Waterfront Project in 2021. Once this is taken into account, the variance is ($62) and -2% which is within the
acceptable threshold.
Q
Revenue is lower than anticipated due to delays for a number of contracted service trail infrastructure projects
including: The Meadoway, which has been deferred to 2021; Nashville Conservation Reserve, which is related to the

RES.#B94/20 - 2020 COVID-19 UPDATE
To provide an update to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's
(TRCA) Board of Directors regarding the financial impacts of COVID-19.
Moved by: Anthony Perruzza
Seconded by: Linda Jackson
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT this COVID-19 Financial Update report be received.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Since the commencement of COVID-19's impact on TRCA operations in March 2020, staff have
provided updates to the Board of Directors regarding the ongoing response to the pandemic in
the form of reports, memos, and presentations. These updates provide an overview of the
changing circumstances around the work environment, financial implications, and operational
restrictions that TRCA continues to face. These updates outlined TRCAs response through
prevention, control, and recovery to manage the uncertain and constantly changing
circumstances as part of the pandemic response. Below is a list of previous reports that have
contained information regarding COVID-19 impacts and response:

Bill 195 received Royal Assent on July 21, 2020, ending the State of Emergency in Ontario,
while continuing certain orders made under the Province's COVID-19 emergency legislation. All
partner municipalities within TRCA's jurisdiction were in Stage 3 of the Framework for
Reopening our Province until the end of the third quarter.
In November, the province introduced a new tiered system for COVID-19 restrictions.
Throughout November and December provincial restrictions continued within TRCA's
jurisdiction through to a province -wide lockdown implemented on December 26, 2020. Under
lockdown, widescale measures and restrictions include a prohibition on indoor public events and
social gatherings and maximum of 10 people permitted at outdoor events.
RATIONALE
TRCA believes in transparency and accountability for its spending, revenue recognition and
performance of service delivery objectives against approved budgets, for both the organization
and for each project and program as an individual endeavor. This is further supported by
TRCA's core values of integrity, collaboration, accountability, respect and excellence. TRCA
recognizes that all projects and programs offered have cost implications and that all costs
incurred are reasonable and practical in support of services. Transparency throughout the
budget management process is achieved in part through the analysis and reporting on year-to-
date revenues/expenses as compared to the current fiscal year budget.
Due to the ongoing pressures from COVID-19, TRCA regularly analyzes the operating and
capital year to date actuals against budget to identify major variances in the expenses and
revenues. A further analysis on the direct impacts from COVID-19 on the budget is required to
enable ongoing adaptations as directed by TRCA's Board of Directors. Given that the majority of
impacts are concentrated in TRCA's revenue generation potential, the following sections of this
report highlight the status of the Authority Generated revenues and a mitigation plan where
major variances are noted.
Relationship to Building the Living City, the TRCA 2013-2022 Strategic Plan
This report supports the following strategy set forth in the TRCA 2013-2022 Strategic Plan:
Strategy 9 — Measure performance
FINANCIAL DETAILS
TRCA's capital projects and programs operate on a cost recoverable basis and have not been
financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As noted in the September 11, 2020 Board
Report entitled 2020 COVID-19 Financial Impact, based on the modified restrictions that were in
place, TRCA staff anticipated a loss of $16 million to operating revenues. However, with the
transition of Provincial directives moving into phase 3 during the third quarter, TRCA was able to
maximize the revenue potential through a modified reopening of its public use facilities. This
enabled further reductions in the projected annual revenue loss from the originally forecasted
$20 million. As of the third quarter, staff now project the potential of a $13.5 million loss to
budgeted Authority Generated revenues which equates to 47%. This can be directly attributed
to the hard work of staff across the organization in adapting ongoing programming to meet the
provincial directives.
In analyzing TRCA's operating performance over the nine-month period, TRCA has been able
to manage the impact on the organization's operating budget as outlined in Table 1 below.

Authority generated revenue in the Greenspace Securement & Management service area has
decreased due to ongoing negotiations surrounding commercial and residential rental income
and easement agreements. To date, 26.7% of the revenue variance has been offset by
expenditure reductions. Staff are working to recover outstanding residential rental income and
are forecasting minimal losses ($20,000). Commercial rent is anticipated to be recovered
although portions have been deferred to 2021. Additional information can be found in the Board

Table 4 — Tourism & Recreation (Actual Nine -Month Performance)
Authority generated revenue in the Tourism & Recreation service area has decreased due to
the previous closure of TRCA's public use facilities starting in the first quarter, with a gradual
reopening commencing in the second quarter and remaining in place until the end of the third
quarter. To date, 61.8% of the revenue variance has been offset by a subsequent reduction in
expenditures for this service area.
The importance of providing conservation parks and attractions for the public has been apparent
throughout the COVID-19 pandemic as demand for the parks, trails and programs TRCA
delivers has been very high. As previously reported, TRCA's conservation parks remained open
additional weekends until October 31 to meet high demand. Park facilities are now closed for
the season, with the exception of Albion Hills which operates year-round.

Filming permits for several films and programs, as well as a Canadian Tire Christmas Drive -
Through event, made for a very busy fall season which generated additional revenue. Staff
continue to work with the film and event sectors as they too adjust and adapt to COVID-19
related regulations. Staff have been very supportive and worked extra hard to bring successful
contracts into place.

Authority generated revenue in the Education & Outreach service area has decreased due to
the previous closure of TRCA's educational facilities starting in the first quarter. TRCA initiated
alternative programming and delivery methods as a means of adapting business operations to
the changing circumstances while continuing to stay relevant.
While TRCA's three field centres remain closed, the Kortright Centre for Conservation and Black
Creek Pioneer Village were open for modified business and still projected reduced revenues
due to the restrictions related to COVID-19. Staff continue to develop programs for virtual
audiences, in particular students and schools, while also adapting small group in-person
community learning activities in local greenspaces as appropriate based on Provincial and local
health regulations and guidelines. To date, 97.5% of the revenue losses have been offset by a
subsequent reduction in expenditures.
Furthermore, to respond to COVID-19 restrictions, The Forgetful Elf, a new holiday -themed
drive-through event was launched at Albion Hills Conservation Area in December, with other
adaptations being explored for both new and existing programs that will allow for the flexible
delivery of TRCA programming, and new revenue -generating opportunities, that is compatible
with public health guidance.
Overall
The decrease in the excess of revenue over expenditures of $629,215 is attributable to
unavoidable organizational operating costs, which could not be reduced to correspond with the
decrease in revenue. Further efforts are being made to minimize the financial impacts to the
organization through applications under the Federal governments COVID-19 relief programs
such as Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy, which will continue to be completed for the 2020
fiscal year in 2021, in accordance with the terms of the programs.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Looking out to a modified operating landscape which is expected to continue into the first half of
2021, TRCA's Senior Leadership Team is adapting 2021 financial plans and activities to operate
safely and sustainably in this new environment. Staff will continue to monitor the financial health
of the organization and report to the Board of Directors and TRCA's partner municipalities on
the impacts of COVID-19.
