The Village has been established as a living portrayal of pre-Confederatioo life in an Ontario cross-roads village. 'Ihe managerrent of selected heritage conservation resources has fonned a part of the Conservation Authority programs for many years All of the conser- vation reports prepared by the Province of Ontario for the watersheds under the jurisdiction of the ~tro Region Authority included a section on history and inventoried a number of historic sites in the region The reIX>rts traced the history of settlerrent in the region, particularly as it has related to the use of water and other resources in the region The historic perspective of the resource nanagerrent is a key elerrent of the Black Creek Pioneer Village program. At the present tirre the Village consists of rrore than thirty authentically restored historical buildings representing a wide spectrum of pioneer life. The annual visitation of 300,000 visitors, including 60,000 school children taking part in an educational program offered at the Village, is drawn fran all parts of cntario, neighbouring provinces and the United States, and the Black Creek Pioneer Village continues to be one of the major tourist attractions in the Toronto region. As such, its further developrent is consistent with Ontario Government policy to foster the grCMth of tourism. Since the acbption of the original master plan in 1964 the need for a Visitors Centre at the Village has been recognized as an essential CXJIpOnent of the Village The Authority's' Watershed Plan' adq:>ted in 1980 and approved by all rrerrber municipalities, recognized the construction of a Visitors Centre at Black Creek Pioneer Village as a major objective for the Heritage Conservation Program. This project has been prepared to provide for the construction of the Visitors Centre at a tirre wheI'\ it is urgently needed and in recognition of the 25th anniversary of The M:!troIX>litan Toronto and Regioo COnservation Authority F-1O 2. Details of the Project (a) Purpose '!he purp:>se of this project is to permit '!he M:!t:rop:>litan Toronto and Regioo O:nservation Authority to exercise the poNers afforded by the Conservation Authorities J\ct, R.S O. 1970, O1apter 78, as arrended, in the furtherance of its objects to establish and construct a Visitors Centre for the Black Creek Pioneer Village located in the Black Creek Cooservation Area. '!he purpose of the Visitors Centre is to provide for the accx:mnodatioo of visitors to the Black Creek Pioneer Village and the Black Creek eonservatioo Area, arrl to assist in the visitors' appreciation and 1IDderstandin9 of the heritage resource which the Village represents (b) IDeation and Description The Black Creek Pioneer Village is situated in the 47 hectare Black Creek. Q:nservation Area which stretches along the valley of the Black Creek fran oorth of , Steeles Avenue in the 'l'a.vn of Vaughan, southerly to Finch Avenue in the City of North York. The Village occupies 31 hectares within the Black Creek conservatioo Area The Village is well located with respect to arterial roads and regional high- way routes, as well as being served by a regular Toronto Transportation ccmnission bus route In determining the need for and establishing the characteristics of a Visitors Centre, the Authority has undertaken nurrerous and extensive planning studies The master plan prepared for the Black Creek Piooeer Village in 1964 identified the need for a Visitors Centre at the entrance to the village to provide service facilities for visitors (ticket taking, student asserrbly, washroans, food service, gift shop, exhibit space, orientation facilities, visual aids and administrative and ~rkshop facilities) Subsequent updates of the master plan have continued to identify the need for this facility In order to give precise definiti~ to the need for and characteristics of a Visitors Centre, the Authority engaged the services of architects who have prepared concept plans and CCJlI1lissioned a feasibility study by the finn of Deloitte, Haskins, Sells and Associates, a firm of managerrent consultants The managerrent consultant report confirrred the need for a Visitors Centre and indicated that it ~uld h'IVe a positive effect on the visitors' enjoyrrent and appreciation of the Village and ....ould be a factor in sustaining and increasing visitation The report also inc~cated that the gift shop and food facilities to be included ....ould be an i.mp:>rtant factor in prcx1ucing operating revenue for the Village In its eoonanic analysis of the project, looking at J:oth the cost of construction arrl operating rosts, the report concluded that a first phase of the project having an area of approximately 16,000 sq ft ....ould be feasible Based on the planning studies carried out by the Authority, the architectural roncepts which have been reviewed and the managerrent consultant's report, the Black Creek.
