t
1980 REPORT
I TO THE
25TH ANNUAL MEETING
THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
On February l, 1981, The Hetropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority began its twenty-fifth year of activity I do not intend to
describe for you the achievements of the Authority during the past 24
years, as there will be a number of opportunities in 1981 when we can
observe, celebrate, and enjoy Authority achievements A special 'Silver
Anniversary' report will be published at the beginning of 1982 that will
outline the first 25 years of history of the Authority
I do, however, wish to pay tribute to those who have made the
achievements of the AutfJol-ity possible
I first commend the Government of the Province of Ontario, which enacted
The Conservation Authorities Act in 1946 The fundamental principles of
the Act are to manage natural resources on a watershed basis; to give
responsibilities to the local people in the watershed for initiating and
developing effective resource management programs; and to provide
financial and technical assistance These principles have formed a
sound, effe,-tive, and successful method of operation for the 39
Authorities in Ontario
The Conservation Authorities movement has had the support of three
outstanding Premiers, and we are delighted that Premier William Davis
has joined us today to celebrate the beginning of our twenty-fifth
year
Several departments and ministries of the Province of Ontario have
administered the Authorities' movement, and we have always enjoyed an
outstanding measure of support and guidance in our endeavours The
Honourable James Auld, Minister of Natural Resources, is truly
A-14
- 2 -
representative of the kind of leadership which has stimulated the
progress of our work
The member municipalities of the Authority are its cornerstone Many
changes have taken place in municipal organization during the past 24
years, including the establishment of three new regional governments
within our area of jurisdiction, and the growth and development of The
Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto
The prime motive for the establishment of the Authority in 1957 was to
take a more regional approach to resource problems in the Toronto
region, and to enlist the support of The Municipality of Metropolitan
Toronto in planning and financing effective conservation programs In
the beginning, the role of Metropolitan Toronto and its Chairman was
critical, and the following quote from the first Annual Report by
Dr Arthur Herbert Richardson acknowledges our indebtedness to Metro
"I am very grateful to Mr Frederick G Gardiner
for hiz guid~ncc uod personal enccu~agcillent to
me in this great work, which will mean so much
to our people in the years to come "
All four Chairmen of Metropolitan Council have upheld the Authority, and
Paul Godfrey, the present incumbent, continues a tradition of support
and guidance for which we are deeply indebted
All of our municipalities have provided the same strong support for the
work of the Authority As new regional governments have been formed,
the Authority has developed the same kind of close working relationships
that were developed with Metropolitan Toronto in the early days The
Authority has had the support of the Chairmen of the Regional Councils,
and all have given freely of their time and advice We welcome the
continuing opportunity to work with Bob Forhan, Chairman of The Regional
Municipality of York, Frank Bean, Chairman of The Regional Municipality
of Peel and Gary Herrema, Chairman of The Regional Municipality of
Durham It is recognized that the working relationships established

wi th our regional municipalities are essential for most of the resource
management problems in the next 25 years
I recognize, at this time, the contributions made by the Councils and
staff of our municipalities The Authority looks forward to your
continued support
Finally, I must recognize the Authority members The Authority has
enjoyed outstanding leadership from our four Chairmen Dr Arthur
Herbert Richardson, Dr G Ross Lord, Fred A Wade, and Grant Henderson
During the last 25 years, many people have served on committees,
advisory boards, the Executive and the full Authority All have given
generously of their time and energies to the advancement of conservation
in our region I wish to acknowledge the contributions of all of these
people, and I am sure they recognize that their support of the Authority
will be of great value to the present and future generations
I woulu alou lik~ to t:.hank t:.he members of our staff who havE', over the
years, served us, and operated our many facilities All are dedicated
conservationists without whose help we could not. have achieved our
successes
1980 was another year of achievement for the Authority, and the
following reports of the Advisory Board Chairmen detail our progress in
the twelve-month period

1980 under the second year of the three year Interim Water and Related
Land Management Project This project, which was prepared in 1978,
provides a total of $11,400,000 for the three year term of the project
and enabled the Authority to carry out the Flood Control Plan Review in
preparation for the Authority's new Watershed Plan Funding was also
provided for flood and erosion control works and the flood plain and
headwater lands acquisition program
During 1980, 217 61 acres were acquired under 27 separate transactions
Land requirements for the Stouffville Channel were finalized and most of
the property required for the Oak Ridges Channel was also acquired
during 1980
The programs for Flood Control, Erosion and Sediment Control and Storm
Water Management were completed in 1980 The draft programs were
reviewed in detail by the various municipalities and their comments were
used in redrafting these programs and form a part of the Authority's new

1980
The Erosion Control Program of the Authority continued in 1980 under the
Interim Water and Related Land Management Project Remedial works were
undertaken in The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and The Regional
Municipalities of Peel, York and Durham A total of 16 major sites were
completed 6 of these in Metropolitan Toronto, 3 in Peel, 6 in York and
1 in Durhan
The construction of channel improvements in the Town of
Whitchurch-Stouffville was completed in 1980 with the official opening
being held on October 17, 1980 This channel in conjunction with the
Stouffville Dam offers a high level of flood protection to the former
Town of Stouffville
Maintenance of water control structures continued under the Operations
and Maintenance Program during 1980 with the major work being the
A-I?
- 5 -
repairs to the Milne Dam Control Building These repairs have been
virtually completed with final restoration to be done in 1981
Improvements were made to the flood warning and flood forecasting system
and were effectively employed during flood events
The preliminary engineering study for the proposed channel improvements
on the East Humber River at Oak Ridges was completed in 1979 It was
originally anticipated that construction would commence in 1980, however
due to difficulties in obtaining the necessary property, it is now
necessary to carry out the entire construction during 1981
Planning and Policy staff reviewed 3034 Committee of Adjustment and Land
Division applications, 1296 Ontario Municipal Board applications, 250
Zoning Amendment applications, 686 Draft Plans of Sub-divisions, 242
Official Plan Amendments, 152 Official and Secondary Plans, 242 Title
Searches and 62 Niagara Escarpment Commission and Parkway Belt
applications In addition, 140 Buildinq Permit applic~tion~ were
processed With respect to enforcement of Ontario Regulation 735/73 for
Fill, Construction and Alterations to Waterways, 46 Violation Notices
were mailed and a majority of these were rectified to the satisfaction
of the Authority The remainder are still being dealt with
WATERFRONT ADVISORY BOARD M.J. BREEN
The waterfront program continued to develop valuable facilities
throughout 1980 which are being well used by the public The opening of
Humber Bay East brings the total to five new parks opened under the
waterfront program Significant progress was also made in other areas
including Humber Bay West and Bluffers Park, as well as in the planning
of future projects, particularly Colonel Samuel Bois Smith Waterfront
A-18

Area The parks are now providing opportunities for boating, kite
flying, picnicking, fishing, swimming and other open space uses
Colonel Samuel Bois Smith Park
The master plan for tilis park was subj ected to the first hearing to be
held under The Environmental Assessment Act After a lengthy hearing
the Board recommended that the project should proceed, thereby giving a
strong vote of confidence to the past waterfront accomplishments of the
Authority and the very careful monitoring of its work, as well as
reinforcing the importance of continued development of the Metropolitan
Toronto shoreline for recreational purposes and improvement of the
environment for our wildlife
Humber Bay West
Surface development of the completed landfill was advanced considerably
during 1980 with the completion of headland armouring and rough grading
of the site The base material for roads and parking lots was placed in
preparation for paving in 1981 The site servicing was installed and
the two boating clubs took advantage of the opportunity to extend
servicing into their sites with plans to provide water and
hydro-electric service on the docks in 1981
Humber College continued to operate a successful sailing instruction
program at the site with plans to upgrade facilities in 1981 including
provision of a classroom The College is developing a program at Humber
Bay which can be transferred to the Colonel Samuel Bois Smith site upon
completion of that area
The main objectives for development in 1981 will be the paving of roads
and parking areas and planting of trees and shrubs in preparation for an
official opening in 1982

Humber Bay East
The highlight of the year was the official opening of Humber Bay East by
the Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario, The Honourable Pauline McGibbon
This new park offers recreational opportunities centered on a pond
system which is unique along the waterfront As with other waterfront
parks developed under the Authority's Waterfront Program, the use of the
area will increase rapidly and complement development and any
redevelopment in the vicinity
Western Beaches
A survey of the Authority's property requirements was completed and a
request for transfer of lands owned by the City of Toronto and The
Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto was filed
Bluffers Park
Landfilling of an island land base for the Boating Federation proceeded
in 1980, with completion expected by February, 1981 The Authority is
grateful for the Federal assistance for final armouring of the exterior
shoreline, which was completed by the end of October with the
successful armouring of Hardpoint #8 Dredging of the northwest corner
of the harbour in preparation for dock construction by the Boating
Federation in the spring of 1981 began in early November and was
completed by mid December Completion of interior shorelines on the
northerly and westerly ends of the island was achieved in the same time
period The Boating Federation looks forward to adding a maximum of 250
slips in 1981 and the mooring capacity of the island will have been
reached Discussions are ongoing with the Federation, its four member
clubs, and Metro Parks to finalize the division of the island land
base
East Point Park
The final report and drawings for the site plan preparation for East
Point Park have been received from Hough Stansbury Michalski and
Associates Limited Discussions are now underway with the Metropolitan

Toronto Parks and Works Departments, as well as the Borough of
Scarborough, regarding implementation which is expected to begin in
1981
Ajax Waterfront
Grading and cultivation of the lands between Harwood Avenue and the
filtration plant were undertaken in preparation for seeding in the
spring of 1981
Environmental Monitoring
This Authority has been monitoring waterfront projects for six years to
ensure that its work is environmentally sound The waterfront
monitoring program continued in 1980 with diving surveys b~ing completed
at Bluffers, Ashbridges and Humber Bay to full document sediment types
and to monitor changes in sediment which are expected to occur as the
la:1dfillz m~t.urc A program was also desigi1ed Lo cuuLiuue th~
evaluation of fishing potential around the landfill sites in preparation
for a more extensive experimental fisheries enhancement program in 1981
The results to date are positive in that the number of species found
around landfill sites is higher than in similar open lake areas.
Shoreline Management
Shoreline erosion control works were continued in the Borough of
Scarborough along Crescentwood Road, but the attempts to construct
shoreline protection along Kingsbury Crescent were delayed due to
difficulties in obtaining title to the shoreline Completion is
proposed for 1981, as well as initiating work at other high priority
sites in the Borough. Shoreline protection was completed at two Borough
of Etobicoke parkettes, Superior Avenue and Norris Cresent
The major objectives of the 1980 development program were met, and in
addition a considerable amount of final armouring for Humber Bay West,
which was proposed for construction in 1981, was advanced to 1980 This
will enable the completion of Humber Bay West sooner than anticipated
I A-21

A most rewarding aspect of the 1980 experience on the waterfront is the
continuing strong public support of the facilities that are being
created Our accomplishments have been so well received that the
waterfront areas are among the most highly used in the Metropolitan
Parks system This support indicates the need for continuing waterfront
development which can be accomplished by the preparation and approval of
a third Five-Year Project to begin in 1982 The major new initiatives
of that Project will be the construction of Colonel Samuel Bois Smith
Park, East Point Park, Aquatic Park and the Guild Inn Waterfront Area,
and the Ajax/Pickering shoreline
CONSERVATION LAND MANAGEMENT ADVISORY BOARD E V. KOLB
Two major programs, Conservation Land Management and Watershed
Recreation are the concern of the Conservation Land Management Advisory
Board In 1980 the Board recommended new directions for these programs
as a part of the Watershed Plan
The Conservation Land Management Program, including the reforestation of
large blocks of land, the use of the Authority nursery products for
erosion control and wildlife habitat development and the enhancement of
the countryside and valley systems has continued to expand as the value
of these programs continues to be recognized The development of a new
nursery building in combination with the expanded nursery operation,
will meet increased demand and provide additional products for the
various applications of established programs, including increased
activity along the Metropolitan Toronto waterfront, and the erosion
control programs throughout the river systems of the Region
The special projects undertaken, especially the Strategic Planning for
Ontario Fisheries (S P 0 F ) program, funded by the Ministry of Natural
Resources, to improve the cold water fisheries habitat within our ri ver
A-22
- 10 -
systems, has met with a great deal of interest and will continue to be
an important program supported by the Ministry of Natural Resources
The Thackeray Landfill Rehabilitation Program undertaken in cooperation
with and funded by Metropolitan Toronto was continued and will result
not only in a better understanding of the requirements of the
rehabilitation of sanitary landfill sites but also will provide an
aesthetically pleasing landscape upon completion
Land management work applied to urban valley systems is a part of the
expansion of the program and included plantings which will contribute to
the stabilization of the soils, the reduction of the sediment entering
the streams by an overland route, and the development of an
aesthetically pleasing landscape that will provide wildlife habitat in a
corridor system linking the waterfront areas with the upland areas of
our Region
Wat~rshed R~cre=tio~ Prog~a~
The major development of Conservation Area facilities during 1980,
concentrated primarily in the Claireville Conservation Area and the
Indian Line Campground The beach facility at Claireville was improved
with a variety of plant materials to provide shade, windbreaks and
visual enhancement A major erosion area located just south of the
beach area was improved and stabilized through the use of gabion
structures to prevent further siltation of the reservoir
The expansion of the Indian Line Campground continued with the
installation of water and electrical services The preliminary
development for 1981 identifies a continued funding for this expansion
and it is anticipated that at least 25% of the new campground will be
available for use this coming season
One of the main concerns of the visitors to our Conservation Areas, as
identified in the Visitor's Survey undertaken in 1979, was the need for
improved washroom facilities Reacting to this, an improved facility
.
- 11 - A-23
was created in the Bruce's Mill Conservation Area which will provide a
heated washroom facility for use year 'round and is located adjacent to
the Maple Syrup Pavilion The Maple Syrup Program is a very popular
spring activity in the Bruce's Mill Area
Funds donated through The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Foundation enabled the Board to begin the restoration of the Bruce's
Mill The funds provided enabled the completion of the perimeter
foundation, construction of a shelter over the weigh scale and the
completion of the cedar shake roofing on the two mill extensions
As additional funds become available, interior work will be undertaken
to provide an interpretative program for visitors to the Area and as
well using the Mill building for some of the program activities that
take place in the Area
With the completion of the Watershed Plan, the direction for the
planning component of Conservation Areas will be to undertake Master
Plans or Master Plan updates of existing Conservation Areas to provide
for Provincial nlJpIOVdl of addit.i.onnJ fUl1ning fnr fncilities required
by the various locations The initial program will be for the Boyd
Conservation Area, including the educational facilities
Under the auspices of 0 CAP (Ontario Career Action Program), a
student was hired to undertake a survey and investigation of the
Conservation Areas and their facilities to evaluate their potential for
providing services for disabled persons This program, when complete,
will identify changes in the facilities already existing and, as well,
provide direction for new facilities which will not prohibit their use
by disabled people
The Conservation Areas operations reflected our dependence on the
weather conditions The Ski Program in 1979 operated fully but was
curtailed in 1980 because of the lack of snow The canoeing and
windsurfing programs at Claireville Conservation Area, continued to be
popular during the summer months The Board recommended a new program
A-24 - 12 -
for waterskiing at Claireville in cooperation with the Ontario Waterski
Association, and an agreement is being drafted for the 1981 season
The promotion of our programs and activities was aided through two
special events A special day to honour the Ajax 25th Anniversary was
held at the Greenwood Conservation Area and a day featuring the Niagara
Escarpment was held at the Glen Haffy Conservation Area A number of
displays and programs relating to the Authority's work and concerns were
provided on these two days and were well received by those who attended
A special feature of the Glen Haffy Day was a presentation by Dr Walter
Tovell on the geology of the Glen Haffy Area Ongoing events such as
the Claireville Open House to promote the Canoe Program and the Bruce's
Mill Open House to promote the Ski Programs were well attended and all
of these special features provide an opportunity for radio, newspaper
and television promotion of our facilities
The Authority has vast land resources on wnicn watershed recreation
opportunities can be provided A special Executive Sub-Committee
studied "marketing" requirements to ensure tha t the community is aware
of the opportunities at its doorstep, and the development of a marketing
plan was approved for 1981
The Watershed Recreation Program provides an understanding of resources
and their management thlough recreation Substantial visitation levels,
increased revenues, and strong municipal and provincial funding support
are required to continue this program
HISTORICAL SITES ADVISORY BOARD M.W.H. BIGGAR
"During 1980, the Historical Sites Advisory Board made considerable
progress toward implementing several planning activities important to
- 13 - A-25
the future of Black Creek Pioneer Village These activities include
finances, marketing and operations
Finances have a major impact on an operational facility and Black Creek
Pioneer Village is no exception As one of the Authority's principal
operations, it is noteworthy that its revenues total approximately 85%
of its expenditures Initiatives have been undertaken to uring revenues
and expenditures more in line Additionally, government support through
a museum grant from the Ministry of Culture and Recreation has again
this year been made available Further, efforts are being undertaken
and financial support is being sought by appealing directly to
volunteer organizations in our communit.y During 1980 Black Creek has
received support from the Ministry of Correctional Services through its
volunteer workers program Recent initiatives have resulted in fund ing
from various private organizations such as the C W Jeffreys Chapter of
the I ODE , the Junior League of Toronto, the Southern Ontario Unit of
the Herb Society of Ontario, and the Dunnington Grubb Foundation It is
appropriate that future efforts expand on these initiatives
On the expenditure side, the situation in 1980 has been difficult and
has warranted some strong measures First, a number of buildings which
have been acquired and are being restored will be closed to the public
in 1981, unless special funding provisions are forthcoming Second, the
monthly expenditure pattern has been under close scrutiny, and where
possible budgets have been, and will be reviewed for special constraint
measures
Notwithstanding this regimen, it is our objective to manage Black Creek
Pioneer Village so that it continues to be recognized as a respected
institution within the museum field It is important for attendance,
and for future revenues, that the Village obtain selected collections
such as the Hi Ida Hu 11 collection, supported by Wintario and the
Ministry of Culture and Recreation Perhaps more important, however, is
the esteem with which both the Village and its staff are held in the
museum field It is noteworthy that Russell Cooper, Administrator of
the Historical Sites Division, won the Award of Merit from the Canadian
A-26
- 14 -
Museum Association for his "exemplary professional work in developing
Black Creek Pioneer Village "
Appropriate marketing initiatives which focus on clients who are perhaps
new to the Authority's many facilities must be developed over the next
several years One example of an innQvative technique employed at Black
Creek Pioneer Village was the participation in the "Fun Trek" campaign
run by Dominion Stores, whereby Dominion Stores advertised widely
facilities such as Black Creek and purchasers of a book of coupons for
admission did so on a discount basis Approximately 3,900 visitors to
Black Creek utilized these coupons
Winter activities last year were severely curtailed by unseasonably mild
weather, and poor attendance was experienced for the first three months
of 1980 A new spring program "Maple Sugar Time" provided the necessary
initiatives to spur attendance figures which remained well ahead of last
year until the fall Unfortunately, the fall Festival experienced poor
weather conditions, which affected tittandanc~ However, tU1.dl
attendance for 1980 was virtually the same as last year Revenues from
admissions, sales and other sources were up appreciably during the
year
Consistent with the Province's plan to support the tourist industry
immediately to the north of Metro is the Authority's plan to construct a
Visitors Centre at Black Creek Pioneer Village As a condition
precedent to submitting an application for funding to Wintario, it is
essential to complete a formal feasibility study Preparations for this
study are well in hand and it is hoped that the study will be completed
and the application made in the early spring In the meantime the
Visitors Centre plan for development continues to be of prime and vital
importance to the future of the Village
In the area of operations, several important events occurred Mr John
Downing completed his two year term as Honourary Reeve at the Village,
and his contribution has been very much appreciated It is hoped that
he will continue his very important involvement and interest
A-27
- 15 - I
Bishop Allan A Read, who in the past has shown a keen interest in Black
Creek with the annual Rogationtide Service and lhe annual Outdoor H~nn
Sing, is the new Honourary Reeve 'l'he Author i ty and the Vill<lge are
very fortunate to be able to attract dedicated and talented individuals
such as Mr Downing and Bishop Read
Further, the Historical Sites Advisory Board has undertaken several
studies of its own during the past year One deals with a contingency
plan for the eventual development of the area northwest of Jane Street
and Steeles Avenue which, in turn, would have a major impact on the
existing Village Another deals with food services offered at the
Village and provides a framework for fu rther review A third study is
in the development stage and will focus on revenues such as those
derived from the Village's gift shop These studies are being carried
out with the cooperation of the staff and are expected to promote
economy, efficiency and effectiveness in the Village
At this time I would like to exlellu U"'y appreciation Lo t.he ITlembers of
the Historical Sites Advisory Board whose expertise and unstinting
efforts have made 1980 a successful and productive year
INFORMATION AND EDUCATION ADVISORY BOARD DR. T.H. LEITH
1980 has been the busiest and most productive year in Information and
Education since the establishment of the Authority
The usual mu1~iplicity of communication techniques have been successful
in communicating to the residents of our watersheds the varied Authority
programs Included in the information program was the printing and
distribution of half a million pieces of literature, the continuous flow
of news and photo releases to the media, and 200 one-minute fi 1m cl ips
of Authority and Foundation activities were distributed to T V stations
()
A-28

for use in their public service programming The Authority is deeply
indebted to all media for its generous support
Some of the special events included The Arbor Day 1980 Honour Roll
Award Presentations, the Garden Party, the Authority's Watershed Tour
and BDO, the participation in the 25th Anniversary Celebrations of the
To\.m of Ajax and the Official Opening of
- Humoer Bay East 'Naterfront Area, by The Honourable Pauline McGibbon,

marketing consultant was engaged to evaluate the Authority's marketing
plan A program to prepare and distribute news and photo releases,
flyers, posters, arrange media interviews and exhibits in the region's
major shopping malls has resulted in considerably more publicity for the
Authority's public use facilities than ever before
The Watershed Plan was t~ e most important communication challenge for
the Authority in 1980 - to convey to the residents, the member
municipalities, the Province of Ontario and other interest groups the
Plan and its 10 programs for the conservation, restoration, development
and management of renewable natural resources for the next 20 years
~~e rather complex 600-page plan and programs was communicated through
the development of 160 slides, an 8-page tabloid and two pictorial
exhibits Twenty-three meetings with local and regional councils,
provincial government ministers and other interest groups were
arranged Unanimous support for the plan and its programs has been
receiveu from the Authority, all member municipalities and the Province
of Ontario

The Conservation Education fa~ili~ies are growing rapidly Residential
accommodation can now be provided for 190 individuals, plus teachers and
leaders, at the Authority's Conservation Field Centres This increase
in accommodation is the result of the openings of the first dormitory at
Lake St George in January, 1980 and the second dormitory in September
The dormitories were largely constructed by secondary school students
employing their trade skills, such as carpentry, plumbing, electrical
and sheet metal The Lake St George Conservation Field Centre is
operated by the Authority similar to the Boyd Conservation Field Centre,
in partnership with the Boards of Education for the Boroughs of East
York, Etobicoke, Scarborough and York, the Boards of Education for the
Cities of Toronto and North York, the Metropolitan Toronto School Board,
the Metropolitan Separate School Board and the York County Board of

and have provided programs for some 80,000 individuals in lQSO
Officially opened in 1979, the Kortright Centre for Conservation
completed its first full year of operation in 1980 Increasing number
of exhibits and displays, audio-visual and outdoor demonstrations
related to its themes of Land, Water, Forest, Fish and Wildlife, are
making the Centre attractive to greater numbers of pUblic, school
classes and group functions Imaginative new education programs, such
as the "Owl Prowl", the "Coyote Howl" and the "Wood Heat Show" have
attracted extensive media attention and public participation, resulting
in a fourfold increase in revenue from the previous year

THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION
CONSERVATION FOUNDATION W.H. STEPHENSON
During 1980, the Foundation surpassed the $3,000,000 plateau for funds
raised since its inception in 1961 This achievement largely reflects
the voluntary and dedicated efforts of Mr Elgin H Card, who took over
the Chairmanship and main fund raising responsibility in 1967 The
Members of the Foundation extend to him their sincere and grateful
appreciation for his contribution and leadership In October, Mr Card
retired from the Chairmanship but continues to serve as a Director and
Member of the Executive Committee
Mr William H Stephenson was elected to succeed Mr Card as Chairman
Earlier in the year at the Annual Meeting Mr Maurice Morrison was
~l~~t~n PreRident succeedinq Mr David Melnik, Q C , and
Mr Wayne L Naughty, C A , WctS ~l~~L~d Vicc-?~csid~nt
In its fund raising, the Foundation gratefully acknowledges the generous
donations by business, industry, group organizations, estates,
foundations, and individuals Also, the important financial and
technical support given by departments of the Government of Canada, the
Province of Ontario and municipal bodies for various projects and
programs
The larger part of the $222,365 raised through the Foundation during
1980 was directed toward the Kortright Centre for Conservation to
provide additional exhibits and displays We have been successful in
obtaining the financial backing of a number of leading industries for
the cost of producing specific units at the Centre and we can look
forward to future similar support Other funds were raised for
restorations of several buildings in Black Creek Pioneer Village and the
flour and feed mill in the Bruce's Mill Conservation Area There were
also contributions to endowment funds operated for Black Creek Pioneer
Village and the Kortright Centre for Conservation as well as the B
Harper Bull Conservation Fellowship Awards Fund, which we are anxious to
build up to increase the number of annual scholarships
- 19 - A-31
Because of new limitations on the amount of support which can be
obtained from Wintario for capital projects, there will be a heavier
demand for donations from the public sector and the Foundation '.Ii 11 need
to intensify its activities during 1981, particularly for completing the
exhibits and restorations programs presently underway Donations of up
to $10,000 toward the B Harper Bull Scholarships would also be a
desirable achievement
Competition for public funds is becoming extremely intensive and more
professional However, there is high and growing interest in the
Authority's heritage and conservation projects and we are confident that
we can continue to attract strong support Individual members of the
Foundation propose to undertake more active personal fund raising roles
in 1981 and the financial support of all Authority members is again
solicited
THE ~~~TE~SHED PL~~
Reference has been made throughout this report to the Authority's
Watershed Plan Planning has always been an important part of the
Authority's approach to resource management Through its process the
Authority has been able to bring together the goals of its member
municipalities and the Province of Ontario and devise projects which
contribute t~ the achievement of these goals in accordance with the
principles of conservation management A major planning step was taken
in 1980 with the adoption of the Authority's Watershed Plan encompassing
all the resource management interests of the Authority This Plan is
comprised of ten separate but interrelated programs and sets out goals,
objectives and policies to guide the work of the Authority over the next
ten to twenty years
The Plan, however, is not intended to be a static document but will be
reviewed and revised to reflect both the evolving resource management
needs of the community and advances in resource management technology
It will continue to be refined through discussions with the Authority's
I
A-32
- 20 -
member municipalities and all other agencies having responsibilities
related to resource management
The adoption of the Watershed Plan by the Authority took place at a
special meeting December 5th, 1980 Prior to that, the Plan had
been circulated to all member and local municipalities for discussion
and comment Presentations were made by Authority members and staff to
municipal councils and to the Provincial Cabinet Committee on Resources
Development Extensive revisions were made in the Plan to best address
the concerns of these groups
With the Watershed Plan as the background policy framework, the
Authority will now develop and adopt the necessary projects to implement
its program objectives The projects will define the priorities of the
community for the immediate future and will require input, review and
approval from the member municipalities and ~le Province The Plan is
the first step toward the achievement of the comprehensive resource
management goals of the Authority during the 1980' s
The work of the Authority as charted in the Watershed Plan will continue
to give emphasis to addressing flood and erosion problems on the
Authority's watersheds Remedial works, regulations and land
acquisition will be employed as the primary techniques in this work
Communication ties with municipalities and the Province of Ontario will
be strengthened The conservation management of Authority lands will
emphasize the quality of the resource base and continuing opportunities
for education and recreation experience
Over the past twenty five years the positive impact of Authority work in
the communities it serves has been enormous The continuance of the
work will, as in the past, be dependent upon community support and
understanding, reflected in a growing confidence among the partners in
the conservation enterprise, the Authority, the municipalities, and the
Province of Ontario, in each other's ability to contribute to the work
within their mandates

BUDGET ESTIMATES
AUTHORITY PURPOSE, ACHIEVE~ffiNTS AND OBJECTIVES
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has adopted a program designed to further conservation, restoration,
development and management of the natural resources of the 1,339 square miles included in the Authority's area of jurisdiction.
The Authority has identified the region's river valleys, the Lake Ontario shoreline and the headwater areas of the Oak Ridges
interlobate moraine, and the Niagara Escarpment as the major resources to which its programs are applied.
Each Conservation Authority in Ontario has been directed by the Province of Ontario to:- "Study and investigate the watershed
and prepare and file with its member municipalities and the Minister of Natural Resources, a Watershed Plan " See report of
the Working Group on the Mandate and Role of the Conservation Authorities of Ontario (1979)
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority adopted a Watershed Plan on December 5, 1980 The Plan will be filed
with its member municipalities and the Minister of Natural Resources.
The Watershed Plan is comprised of ten (10) interrelated programs:-
Flood Control Program Provision for protection of human life and property from the hazards of flooding and erosion
is a basic requirement and the core of the Watershed Plan and the Flood Control Program. This program provides for
remedial measures, land acquisition and application of regulatory measures to leave flood plains unobstructed to pass
flood flows.
Three programs complementary to the Flood Control Program recognize the relationships between urban drainage, erosion
and sedimentation, and floOding.
Erosion and Sediment Control Program The Erosion and Sediment Control Program is aimed at protecting life and property
through corrective works as well as preventing future hazards through development control
Storm tvater Mana~ement Program The Storm Water Management Program details cooperative action between the Authority and
its member munic~palities on water management problems and preparation of master drainage plans.
Conservation Land Management Program The Conservation Land Management Program promotes conservation on private and
public lands by providing for reforestatation, habitat improvements, stream improvements and a conservation land planning
service
Shoreline Management Program The Shoreline Management Program aims at reducing erosion and flooding hazards along the
Lake Ontario Shoreline through application of protective works, acquisition and planning and regulatory controls.
Page I-2
Land Acquisition Program To ensure proper conservation land management, the Land Acquisition Program provides for
acquisit~on of flood plan and valley lands, waterfront lands and environmentally signifcant lands The Authority has
acquired 26,600 acres of land that are being managed to achieve the objectives set forth in the Watershed Plan
Watershed Recreation Program AND Lake Ontario Waterfront Development Program: A valuable ancillary use of conservation
lands is the development of recreation areas for public use and enjoyment The Watershed Recreation Program and the
Lake Ontario Waterfront Program are designed to meet this need.
Heritage Conservation Program The Heritage Conservation Program recognizes the special contribution that a historical
perspective gives to the understanding of resource management
Community Relations Program: All of the efforts of the Authority in its conservation programs are dependent upon community
understanding and acceptance. The Community Relations Program establishes the means by which the Authority can communicate
with the community
The 1981 Bud~et Estimates have been prepared on the basis of programs included in the Watershed Plan, and comparison with
previous activities is difficult Based on previous budget systems since 1~57, 62 5% of the Authority's capital and development
budget has been devoted to Water and Related Land Management, 24.5% has been devoted to the Lake Ontario Waterfront, 10 8% to
Conservation and Recreation Land Management, and 2.2% to Outdoor and Conservation Education
The 1981 Budget Estimates provide for the completion of the Interim Water and Related Land Management Project 1979 to 1981,
the Waterfront Project 1977 to 1981, and the Supplementary Waterfront Project 1980/81.
FORMAT OF PRESENTATION
The 1981 Budget Estimates are based on a new format. The format is designed to more clearly identify the ten programs adopted by
the Authority in its Watershed Plan. In addition, the budget estimates are organized into management units to more clearly
identify and manage the Authority programs. The principles of program budget management have been used to develop the 1981
Budget Estimates
There are five major types Of Provincial grants available through the Ministry of Natural Resouces to Conservation Authorities:-
1) Administration 4) Special Projects and Programs
2) Water & Related Land Management 5) Supplementary Grants (not applicable to M.T.R.C.A.)

CHAIRlIAN I S REMARKS
,
Dr. J.K. Reynolds presented a brief progress report, stating that this Twenty-Fifth
Anniversary year is an important time for the Authority, few other authorities
equaling its record of age, and none its accomplishments.
The recent death of former Mayor of Toronto William Dennison was noted with
regret. Mr. Dennison was formerly an active member of the Don Valley and The
Metropolitan Toronto & Region Conservation Authorities who carried support of
conservation into his other activities
A further loss has been sustained in the death of Mrs. Francis Kortright. Frank
Kortright played an outstanding part in various aspects of conservation. His
memory is perpetuated by the Kortright Centre for Conservation, in which Mrs.
Kortright took a deep interest. Her passing marks the end of an important era for
the conservation movement.
Mike Garrett has become a member of the "Sons of Martha", an award of high merit
made to very few of its members by the Association of Professional Engineers of
Ontario.
Dr. Reynolds reminded the members of two forthcoming events:
The Honour Roll Awards Programme (formerly known as Arbor Day) will be held on
Friday, May 22 at the Authority Office, commencing at 2:00 p.m
The next meeting of the full Authority is scheduled for Friday, June 19, at the
Community Hall, Woodbridge, in association with the dedication of the
R. GRANT HENDERSON FLOODWAY
****
Mr. G.B. Sinclair expressed his conviction that a very strong budget presentation
could be addressed to the Executive Committee of the Metropolitan Toronto Council.
He felt the Committee would be very receptive to the kind of ~aterial the Authority
has to offer.
Mr. S.J. Daurio declared a possible conflict of interest regarding Item 6, Section
II of Report #2/81, and Item 15, Section II of Report #4/81.

The Chairman noted that today's meeting and its chosen site have particular
significanc0 for the Authority, and called upon Mrs Edna Gardner to elucidate.
Mrs. Gardner "I have in my hands the Minutes of two meetings of the Humber Valley
Conservation Authority one held April 19 and the other held June 19, 1956, the
latter meeting held in today's meeting room and on the same date as today's agenda
The meeting of April 19, 1956, required a recorded vote to resolve that the Humber
Valley authority involve itself in ascertaining the feasibility of adopting a
"Scheme" for a multi-purpose conservation area -- to be known as the Edmund
Boyd Conservation Area -- comprising 242 acres, at a proposed price of $150,000.
for the parce 1, at $500 down and a three-year mortgage of $50,000 a year, at the
interest rate of 5 per cent per annum! The current rate is 21 per cent.
Twenty-one people voted in favour, of whom Wally Wand, who was here earlier today,
is the only remaining member We came here today to establish a memorial for
another member of that group -- Grant Henderson The purchase of that property was
approved, and I think we have since justified mortgaging our futurel"

Ag new, father of Jim Agnew of the Conservation Land Management Division. Mrs.
Charles Agnew is the former Jean Dalziel, and the family residence is located at
