Report
.to the
19th Annual Meeting
of
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
A -9 -a
The achievements of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority will be set out in the Biennial Report, which will reach
you in printed form in a short time. Meanwhile, in reporting to the
19th Annual Meeting, we will deal more specifically with the year
1974 and comparatively recent events. I believe we have a record of
which we can be proud, but as that civic leader, George Bell, has so
aptly commented "complacency is one of the greatest evils of public
service ". We must constantly be on the lookout for methods to better
procedures - methods to cut fat from our operations - and constantly
remember that the work of the Authority is never ending. In fact,
our responsibilities are increasing due to the requests of
municipalities and the Province, the challenge of large increases in
population, and the increased tempo of activity in our region. Our
over -view of the Authority and its duties must be that this rapidly
increasing population, its need and demand, for recreation, and the
urgent requirements of greater attention being paid to our renewable
natural resources in view of obvious environmental deterioration,
suggests that we will be under constant pressure for extension of our
efforts. Our sights must be raised as we go into 1975 and future years.
Authority activities on an unusually wide range of fronts occurred in
1974 and the pattern of action between the provincial and municipal
governments and the Authority assumed a more effective relationship
because of the establishment of a Regional Office at Richmond Hill by
the Ministry of Natural Resources. This widening of interest and
direction by the Province in every field of natural resources
including, of course, conservation activities, can only lead to greater
benefits to the citizens of Ontario. Effective contact has been
maintained with our sister authorities - 37 in number - through
participation with the Committee of Conservation Authority Chairmen
which has met regularly. Thanks go forward to Mr. Colin Caswell,
Chairman of the Nickel District Conservation Authority, for his in-
defatigable work as Chairman of this Committee of Chairmen of the
Province. Also, direct contact with the Ontario Minister of Natural
Resources, the Honourable Leo Bernier, and his deputy, Dr. Keith
Reynolds, through the Conservation Authorities Council, has been
beneficial and has brought about solutions to common problems on a
Province -wide basis.
At this time, I would like to congratulate and thank all Members of
the Authority - old and new. A special welcome is given to the new
Members, whom, I hope, will enjoy and profit from this important
assignment which carries with it benefits and responsibilities. To
A -9 -b
continuing Members, my very special congratulations on the display of
confidence exhibited by your sponsors. I invite the continued complete
support of all Authority Members in the year's activities ahead.
Demands will be made to constantly focus attention on needs and establish
priorities.
The opportunity for Members to constructively aid this Region cannot
be over- emphasized. The Authority is based on a partnership of the
Province of Ontario and the Municipalities within our Region. The

constant enquiries about our operations - in one short
areas as far apart as Romania and Australia - and from
authority members across the Province. These people have
up their time and talents, and make our movement a perfect
example of citizen participation - of consumerism at its best. Too
much credit cannot be given to the Province of Ontario which started
this organization nearly thirty years ago, and to municipalities, who,
with the Province, have consistently nurtured a practical partnership
which has resulted in tremendous benefits to the citizens of this
region.
The importance of our work, in my opinion, demands greater public
knowledge and thus increased public relations activity, so that there
may be no misunderstanding and so that our supporters will be even
more active and generous in the future. Joint Public Relations
Programmes with all 38 Authorities participating through the Committee
of Chairmen and the Ministry of Natural Resources, could tell the
factual story of aims, objectives and achievements which would arouse
the public. As our friends at the Ontario Editorial Bureau say
"most PR problems are self - inflicted ". We cannot apply the heavy
hand of complete independence. We must not make the mistake of not
sharing our problems with those for whom we act, and we cannot play
our cards too close to our vests in our relationships with our partners.
Our supporting Province and Municipalities must be made proud of our
efforts and our results. We live in an age of communication, and
that basically is what public relations is all about.
FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER CONSERVATION
A -9 -c
October, 1974, marked the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Hazel and
the occasion received widespread news media coverage.
The floods of May, 1974, were a further dramatic illustration of
the need for a continuing and expanded programme of flood control
and water conservation in the rapidly urbanizing areas of Ontario.
The Authority has made significant progress in its Plan for Flood
Control and Water Conservation since it was first adopted in 1959.
Four dams and reservoirs have been constructed,
improvements completed, several thousand acres
conservation lands acquired and evacuated, and
many channel
of flood plain and
a comprehensive
flood warning and forecasting system established.
Rising costs of land and structures have contributed to increased
costs and have made it necessary to spread the programme over
several years.
I am convinced of the soundness of the Authority's policies in the
field of flood control and water conservation. I am absolutely
sure of the necessity of such measures and I urge the Province of
Ontario to expedite the approval of Project W.C.63 to facilitate
the completion of additional works in the next five -year period.
The member municipalities have generously agreed to support this
project and the support of the Province is required to carry on.
The Authority adopted a new Master Plan for Flood Plain and Conservation
Land Acquisition in 1974 and this will form the basis of Authority
valley land acquisition programmes for several years

The culmination of many years' study and debate resulted in the
final approval of W.C.60, a 5 -year project for erosion control
and bank stabilization in Metropolitan Toronto. Several critical
areas received remedial measures in 1974 and a major work
programme is planned for 1975.
Channel improvement works on the Massey Creek and Highland Creek
were completed by Authority staff in 1974 and contract documents
for remedial measures for the Richmond Hill Mill Pond were completed.

WATERFRONT
The many years of study and planning on the Metropolitan Toronto
waterfront are beginning to bear fruit. 1974 witnessed the
official opening of the Mimico Creek area of the Humber Bay
Waterfront Park on June 20th by The honourable Claude Bennett,
Minister of Industry and Tourismiand Paul Godfrey, Chairman of
Metropolitan Toronto. This is the first waterfront area developed
by the Authority since it was
Waterfront Plan in 1970. The
location for picnicking, boat
given the mandate to implement the
area provides an attractive waterfront
launching or just plain walking.
Major land fill operations continued in 1974 at Humber Bay, Ashbridge's
Bay and Bluffers Park. The cooperation of the Toronto Harbour
Commissioners in the design of operation of these fills is acknowledged
The development of the Petticoat Creek Waterfront Area was a major
undertaking during the year. A unique feature of the area is the
1.4 acre artificial swimming lake. The area will be opened for
public use in 1975 and will provide much needed access to the
waterfront in the east end.
The Bluffers Park waterfront area has likewise been subject to
intensive development and will provide public access to the shores
of Lake Ontario at the foot of the Bluffs with spectacular views
of the Lake and the Bluffs.
The acquisition of waterfront lands continued during the year and
many properties were acquired. I am convinced of the long term
values of these acquisitions and the opportunities they will afford
generations to come of access to this important resource.
A number of shoreline management measures were designed in 1974 and
some measures were constructed. It is obvious to me that the present

The Lake Ontario waterfront in the Metropolitan Toronto region has
been under development for over 150 years. This important natural
asset will continue to be of prime importance to the community.
The Authority in 1974 prepared a ten -year plan for the continuing
development of the waterfront and has submitted the proposal to
the municipalities and the Province for comment and recommendations
A-9--e
WATERFRONT (continued)
The Authority received approval in 1974 for the planning of
Aquatic Park on the headland extending east from Leslie Street.
Three concepts were developed and in 1975 a more detailed plan
for public scrutiny will be developed.
The year 1974 was a year of major expenditures on the waterfront.
The Authority underspent its cash flow allotments for the
waterfront in both 1972 and 1973, but exceeded them in 1974. The
culmination of plans, the settlement of property acquisitions,
the amount of fill placed in the Lake and costly measures to
protect these fills recommended by the Ministry of the
Env.ronment, were all contributing factors. Representation has
been made to the Province of Ontario to increase our cash flow
allotment and I urge the Province to support the Authority's
request.
CONSERVATION LAND MANAGEMENT
The Authority policy of a programme of upgrading facilities in
its existing conservation areas was continued in 1974.
A combination ski chalet and summer pavilion was added at the
Albion Hills Conservation Area. The extension of the family
campground area and permanent parking lots were further developments
completed in 1974.
An attractive year -round beach centre was added at Bruce's Mill
and the building will contribute greatly to the enjoyment of the
many thousands of people who visit this pleasant area.
A new entrance road at Claireville has made access to the area much
easier and more convenient.
All the Conservation Areas received continuing development and
maintenance. Many thousands of trees and shrubs are planted
annually, and beach erosion control measures constructed, all of
which add to the amenities of the Areas.
The Conservation Areas operated by the Authority are an important
component of the open space system for the Metropolitan Toronto
region. The continued upgrading of Areas and a programme of
further land acquisition are wise investments for the future of
this region.
One of the least publicized of Authority activities is its
Conservation Services Programme. The planting of trees and shrubs,

implementation of erosion control measures on private property,
advice regarding conservation plans and ponds, are a few
Authority activities in the field. The results of this programme
are not highly visible immediately; however, in the passage of
time all these measures add to the visual amenities of the region
and contribute to more effective husbandry of our natural
resources.
An important innovation in 1974 was the cooperative fish management
study undertaken by the Ministry of Natural Resources under
agreement with the Authority. "Operation Doorstep Angling" will
chart new programmes to provide greater opportunities close to
home for sport fishing.
INFORMATION AND EDUCATION
Public awareness and support of the work of the Authority is
essential if it is to succeed.
The media plays an extremely important role in assisting the
Authority in this regard. I know of few organizations who are so
consistently supported in a positive way by the media and I wish
to acknowledge the contribution which the media has made in the
management of the natural resources of the region.
The coverage in press, radio and TV, both locally and nationally,
of the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Hazel was an outstanding
example in 1974 of media assistance.
The Boyd Conservation Field Centre opened for outdoor and
conservation education late in 1974. This facility is another gem
in the Authority's educational facilities. I congratulate the
Authority, the Province of Ontario and the participating school
boards for the spirit of cooperation which has made the Boyd
Field Centre a reality.
All aspects of the Authority's educational programme were used
to capacity in 1974. The long term value of conservation
education to the Authority, the citizens of this region and the
Province is inestimable.
The proposed five -year Project for Outdoor and Conservation
Education was a new initiative for the Authority in 1974. The
project proposes the extension of the Authority's programme in
this field over the next few years which will provide greater
opportunity for school children and the public to become
increasingly aware of the need for the proper management of the
natural resources of the region.
A -9 -g
The proposed project recommends a continuing long terns
partnership between the Authority, the Province and the school
boards. I am convinced that all parties can benefit by this
arrangement and I hope a positive decision to proceed can be
made in 1975.
HISTORICAL SITES
The Black Creek Pioneer Village had its most successful year in
1974, with a total attendance in excess of 290,000. The
Village remained open during all of December and the early part of
January for the first time and the "Preparations for Christmas"
programme was highly successful. The Annual Pioneer Festival
also experienced record attendance.
Distinguished visitors to the Village included The Honourable
William G. Davis, Q.C., who officially opened the Major Lex
Mackenzie Home on May 24th; Her Honour the Lieutenant- Governor
of Ontario, the Honourable Pauline McGibbon, who participated
with the Suffragan Bishop of Toronto in a springtime rogation
service held on June 2nd.
1974 saw the completion of many improvements at the Village,
including the Lex Mackenzie Home. A start has been made on the
restoration of the Carriage Works from Sebringville. The grounds
have also benefited from improved landscaping and a major addition
to the Village has been the Helen Peacock Memorial Woods.
The educational programmes at the Village continue to expand and
an increasing number of school visitors from all parts of Ontario
enjoy its attractions.
The Authority has chosen an architect to design a new Visitors'
Centre, a much needed facility for the Village.
A total of 2,800,000 persons have now experienced living history
at the Village and have gained some insight into the rich cultural
heritage of the Province of Ontario.
PLANNING
Long term planning is an essential component of comprehensive
resource management programmes. A large part of the success
of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
has been due to the preparation of resource management plans.
The outstanding example is the Authority's Plan for Flood Control
and Water Conservation, the policies and programmes of which
have guided the Authority for 15 years.
A -9 -h
More latterly, the Waterfront Plan, the Conservation Areas
Plan, the Outdoor and Conservation Education Project, are
examples of long term plans which guide the activities of the
Authority.
The participation of the Province of Ontario, the member
municipalities and their planning boards has been an essential
ingredient in this endeavour. Without their input and support,
both technically and financially, the Authority would not be
as successful as it is.
At this time in our history the future destiny of the Metropolitan
Toronto region is being planned.
The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, the Regional Municipalities
of Peel, York and Durham, and the Province of Ontario are all
establishing goals, objectives and plans for this region. The
Robarts Commission appointed by the Province is reviewing the
structure of government in Metropolitan Toronto and its terms of
reference permit it to look beyond.
The principle of a watershed being the proper planning unit for
conservation programmes is well accepted. It is based on the fact
that development of any part of the watershed will have an effect
on the flow and quality of water downstream. The development of
rural areas upstream are of vital importance to the quality and
quantity of water downstream. The Authority, being made up of
members both upstream and downstream, has been able to take a
comprehensive approach to valley management.
The management of the natural resources of the Metropolitan Toronto
region is vital for the protection of health, welfare and well
being of the citizens of this region.
The continuing urbanization of the region will place increasing
pressures on its natural resources.
The cooperation and support of the Province, Metropolitan Toronto,
the Regional and local municipalities is essential if we are to
manage the natural resources of this area for the benefit of all
its citizens. I believe that The Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority has a vital and essential role to play and
I urge the support of all levels of government.
A -9 -i
PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS
The major acquisitions during 1974 were purchase of 333 acres
on the north side of Highway 2 in the Rouge Valley, the Graham
Park property; 283 acres of waterfront land at the mouth of
the Duffins Creek; and a 95 -acre parcel in the Humber Valley,
northwest of Kleinburg. The Authority now owns 24,464 acres,
an increase of approximately 1,200 acres since the end of
December, 1973.
FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION
The year 1974 was one of consolidation of the mechanized accounting
system established in 1973. The final phase of mechanization was
completed on the conversion of the accounts receivable system.
It is planned early in 1975 to mechanize the accounts of the
Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation.
CONCLUSION
May I express special appreciation to the Members of our energetic
and hardworking Executive Committee of 1974. This Executive
basically creates policy, which, when approved by the full Authority,
is implemented by the staff. To all staff members - those operating
from our office headquarters and those in the field - who are mostly
in direct contact with the public, I would extend warm thanks and
congratulations for their loyalty and effective efforts. I believe
that no one will resent my particularly singling out our staff
leaders, Secretary- Treasurer, Fred Lunn, and Director of Operations,
Ken Higgs, for special commendation and thanks.
This brings to an end my official duties as Chairman for 1973 and
1974. I have enjoyed to the full my work and my contacts with
you. May your future activities be happy and harmonious and have
full realization of the importance of what you are doing. The public
may be at a "watershed" in its realization that pollution and
the destruction of our environment is not a necessary price to pay
for the advantages of technological progress. My belief is that
we have a clear indication that the public views the Authority as the
most effective vehicle which has ever been devised to meet real
public objectives.

Inaugural Address
R.Grant Henderson
Chairman
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
19th Annual Meeting
February 7,1975
The year 1975 should prove to be a most interesting and
productive one for the Members of the Authority. We have
a number of plans and projects in various stages of approval
and maximum participation of Authority Members, with the
senior governments and municipalities, in bringing them to
fruition will be most important.
Since its inception in 1957, the key to Authority work has
been its programmes for flood control and water conservation.
In the intervening years, much has been done, but full
protection has not yet been accomplished. Project W.C.63,
setting out urgent components of the flood control plan, is
now before the government for funding. The Authority must
press for high priority treatment of this programme.
The Information and Education Advisory Board has developed an
imaginative and practical project for extending outdoor and
conservation education opportunities to rruch wider segments
of the community served by this Authority. The Authority will
be asked to approve the plan, in principle, and to distribute
it widely for discussion and ultimately adoption in a form
which represents the best interests of the programme and the
community being served.
A ten -year waterfront development proposal has already been
widely distributed for discussion and this year preparation
of a five -year extension to the present waterfront plan will
begin. This is the stage at which input from Authority
Members, municipalities, governments, agencies and the public
can have the greatest impact.
The Province of Ontario this year will approach the Government
of Canada to seek its participation in the financing of shore-
line management proposals on the Lake Ontario shoreline. The
Authority initiated this approach and continued support of the
Members is necessary.
All of the regional governments which are members of the
Authority are in the process of preparing official plans. At
no time in the history of the Authority has effective communic-
ation between the Authority and the municipalities, through
the appointed Members, been more important. There is no more
effective tool for relating policies and programmes of the
Authority, which should be reflected in municipal official
plans, than by the personal contact of the appointed
representatives of the municipalities to the Authority. It is
my intention to ensure that Members are kept well informed, so
that they can be effective.
In many ways 1975 will be a year of consolidation. Budget
constraints will not permit undertaking major new programmes,
but available funds will permit the consolidation and upgrading
of existing programmes. Two new areas will open for public
use on the waterfront. Stage 1 of Bluffer's Park in Scarborough
will open, along'with a new conservation area to be operated by
the Authority at Petticoat Creek in Pickering.
With more favourable weather, recent downward trends in
conservation area use should be reversed, and provision has been
made for the upgrading of several facilities.
-2- A -9 -k
Programmes already under way in flood control will be
continued, but no major work will start until funding
for Project W.C.63 has been made available.
The Boyd Conservation Field Centre opened in December
of 1974 will have its first full year of operaticn and
will be the major addition to programme funds for. Information
and Education in 1975.
Petticoat Creek is going to be one of the greatest things
which has ever happened to the Authority. Information and
Education has prepared a very special programme for
attracting more people than ever before.
"Conservationists" are a rare breed in our society. They
have to be different. They are called many names, such as
"bird watchers ", etc., but they put up with this and carry
on. My idea of a "conservationist" is one who works with
his environment, is concerned about what has happened to it
and constructively tries to do something about it. He is
not thinking only about himself and his own generation, but
of those to come after and unborn at the present time. I
know this group has that kind of enthusiasm for the work of
the Authority.
Many years ago, a writer said "... and thus our world walks
towards the future; not straight and undisturbed, but as
tree grows by interaction of rain and drought, heat and cold,
light and darkness ".
Let us, then, look forward with determination to overcome
the many challenges which face us. I am convinced that with
the cooperation of our partners - the member municipalities
and the Province of Ontario - much can be accomplished.

A -10 -a REPORT
of
TILE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION FOUNDATION
to the
19TII ANNUAL MEETING
of
THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
Friday, February 7, 1975
Historically, for those that may not know, The Metropolitan
Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation was founded under
Provincial Charter, May 4th, 1961
" To aid The Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority in the cultivation
and Advancement of Conservation by:
(a) Serving as permanent custodian of
endowment funds
(b) Soliciting and acquiring gifts,
donations of money or other pro-
perty and to use the income to
assist The Metropolitan Toronto
and Region Conservation Authority
in carrying out its projects
It is interesting to look back sometimes. The total funds
raised by the Foundation for the fiscal period ending 1966
to date amounted to $199,090.37. In January of 1967 a
detailed plan was presented to the Membership to raise
an additional $250,000.00 under the theme "Preserve our
Heritage." However, it was felt that the first objective
at that time should be to properly establish the image of
the Foundation. I think this has been accomplished.
By the end of 1973 the actual fund raising position of
the Foundation had reached in excess of one million
dollars. During the intervening period despite the
world wide unfavorable economic and monetary climate,
an additional $300,000.00 was raised either by cash or
pledges bringing the total to date in excess of
$1,300,000.00.
A -10 -b
You will recall that the Foundation undertook the respons-
ibility of raising the Authority's share of the funds
necessary for the new Kortright Centre for Conservation
in the Boyd Conservation Area to be built and equipped
at an estimated cost of $1,050,000.00. $400,000.00 of
the $525,000.00 amount has either been received or
pledged as at December 31, 1974 and more in the process
of negotiation. This unique facility will be the first
to provide conservation education to adults and. children.
Work is progressing very rapidly at The Kortright Centre.
The beautiful access road has been completed and the
border planted with mature trees. The parking lot has
been graded ready for surfacing; the power -line and water-
line has been installed to the site; a well has been
drilled which produces approximately 9,000,000 gallons
a year; beautiful trails have been opened; three port-
ables installed and equipped with heat and light; in
excess of 2,000 students have tested the viability of
our educational program; a design consultant has been
hired and is currently co- ordinating the design of the
educational exhibits and displays.
Plans are underway to expand the operations of the
Foundation in 1975 in order that proper impetus may be
given to the 3 fund raising areas: Special Projects,
Black Creek Pioneer Village Projects and the Scholar-
ship and Growth Funds. At the present time all effort
is being devoted to The Kortright Centre. The future
Foundation goal has now been raised to $5,000.000.00.
I might say that these activities require a tremendous
amount of support. Many thousands of letters are
written; many thousands of telephone calls have to be
made and answered. Numerous complicated and time con-
suming reports, financial statements, procedures,
questionnaires, brochures, the monthly bulletin and
the Foundation Chairman's Annual Report all have to
be completed. This of course does not include any of
the time spent on personal contacts, interviews, slide
presentations and the planning and arrangements for
the exhibit at the Canadian National Sportsmen's Show.
A -10 -c. - 3
During the summer of 1974 we had the services of a student
under the SWEEP Program, who completed a research analysis
of potential donors in the Metropolitan Toronto Area.
I would like to pay tribute to the staff of the Authority
for their unstinting and voluntary assistance, co-operation
and inspiration in every facet of our various fund raising
programs.
We have received generous support and recognition from the
Canadian National Sportsments Show, Foundations, Chartered
Banks, Trust Companies, Insurance Companies, Industrial and
Commercial organizations and other firms as well as private
individuals.
Foundation funds have supported - - --
Many historic restorations at Black Creek Pioneer
Village which enjoyed an attendance of 294,188
during 1974 and 2,922,723 since its opening.
Plans are underway and part of the work has been
completed for the restoration of The Doctorts
Rouse and The Carriage Shoo in 1975.
Three Conservation Field Centres - Albion Hills,
Cold Creek and Claremont for the teaching of
outdoor science to children and student teachers,
which combined, have provided accommodation for
84,817 students and student teachers since
opening.
I am pleased to report that two $400.00 Scholarships were
provided in 1974 from The B. Harper Bull Scholarship Fund
for a Graduate Program in Biology and a Science Program -
one at York University - Mr. David Simms and the other at
the University of Toronto - Mr. James 1-Ioward Fullard.
This is a continuing program that we hope to expand in the
very near future.
We will have a new Conservation Exhibit again this year at
the Canadian National Sportsments Show in co- operation with
The Royal Bank of Canada and the Canadian National Sports -
ments Show. The theme will be " The Kortr:Lght Centre for
Conservation " and there will be some exciting innovations.
- 4 - 11 -1.0 -d
The assistance received from the Members of the Authority
is very much appreciated and I would like to take this
opportunity to thank Mr. Wade, who has generously con-
tributed both time and money to our programs and who has
provided the proper entree to many donors. With your
continued support, guidance and help, our future goals
should be easily attained.

REPORT

1975 BUDGET ESTIMATES
INTRODUCTION
The year 1975 is seen to be one of financial constraints and a resultant slow-
down in the rate of growth of Authority programs and budget estimates. In
addition to known Provincial constraints and anticipated Municipal constraints
the Authority, in 1975, 'should also adequately fund overexpenditures resulting
from 1974 operations.
The attached Budget Estimates reflect the Authority's financial position at
the end of 1974, and have been constructed taking into consideration the
Provincial funding allocation for 1975. The enclosed adjustments to the spend
ing programs for 1975 and the financing of deferred expenditures from 1974
results in an increase in Municipal Levy of 9.0 %, which approximates the in-
crease in the cost of living.
FINANCIAL PrRFORMANCE IN 1974
The Authority enters 1975 with an operating deficit of $135,758. offset by
a surplus in Current Programs of $83,113. Expenditures on Capital Programs
exceeded sources of financing at the end of 1974 by $4,581,378., although
within total funding allocations for these five year programs.
The operating deficit position comprised small overspendings in most operating
programs, the largest imbalance being in the Conservation Area Program, which
was budgetted for a deficit position due to a reduction in the amount of
Municipal Levy in 1974. The Information and Education program overspending
related partially to the transfer of certain unfunded expenditures into the
appropriation from the Black Creek Pioneer Village Program, and also to the
fact that revenues were based on a fee structure, which had not been revised
for a five year period.
In Current Programs, the Information and Education Development Program over-
spending was related primarily to the construction of the Boyd Conservation
Field Centre and was more than offset by a significant underspending in the
Conservation Area Development Program. It is anticipated that additional
grants will be made available in 1974 to fund the Provincial part of the
overspending related to the Field Centre, and the Ministry of Education has
made available additional funds to cover expenditures made necessary on the
rulings of the Ontario Fire Marshall. The Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation Foundation had agreed to finance additional expenditures in
the Historic Sites Development Program from funds received during 1974.
The major areas of overspending were in the Capital Programs of Flood Control
and Waterfront. The purchase of the Graham property early in 1974 accounted
for the overspending in the Flood Control Plan, partially offset by the assis
tance of the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto in paying its 1975 levy
in 1974. Matching Provincial funding not available in 1974, which has account
ed for the deficit position. Expenditures on the Waterfront Program, in high
gear during 1974 both in the construction and development and land acquisi-
tion areas, have exceeded funding allocations by $871,389. Municipally, and
$3,152,424. Provincially, although still within the expenditure limits of the
Five Year Plan. The Provincial overspending of cash flow allotment in 1974 r:
lated to the undertaking of work not performed in the early years of the Plan
and approaches have been made for additional funding to the Provincial
Government.
EVALUATION OF PRIORITIES
The major priority of the Authority in 1975 is to improve its financial sit-
uation by reducing expenditures wherever possible to conform with the above -
mentioned Provincial and Municipal constraints.
The major program priority in 1975 as outlined in these Budget Estimates,
is the Authority's Flood Control and Water Conservation Program. Provincial
restrictions on cash flow for this appropriation have necessitated the re -al-
location of total Provincial cash flow from other programs to provide funding
for property and engineering commitments made in 1974 to be expended in 1975,
together with the provision of minimum funding for the ongoing Erosion Contro,
Project. It should be noted that the Authority has reduced its capital
2.
requirements in ].975 from the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto to
$250,000. as requested, which corresponds to the lack of Provincial fund-
ing. The balance of $ 750,000. has been provisionally allocated to the
subsequent years of the Plan. Flexibility has been maintained and should
further Provincial. :funds be made available during 1975, Municipal. Funding
could be obtained in the Flood Control (Benefiting Municipalities) Program.
The extension to the head office building has been omitted from these Budget
Esimates in order for the Authority to comply with the above- mentioned :finan-
cial constraints. While the provision of additional space for existing
Authority staff is considered essential, the construction of the proposed
addition is not financially viable in 1975 and as an alternative, funds have
been earmarked to provide for the contingency of temporary portables.
ANALYSIS OF 1975 PROGRAMS
Administration - This appropriation provides for the maintenance of existing
staff levels, but provides no increase in staff, equipment, or other program
support. A salary increase related to the cost of living index of 11.6%
was paid to all staff in 1975, and a further 3.4% provided merit increases
for a total of 15%. The salaries of Patrol Officers have been transferred
from the salaries appropriation to the Administration of Fill Regulations.
A large increase in taxes was experienced in 1974 and have been provided for
in 1975. A change in Provincial policy related to the acquisition of vehi-
cles and equipment has been provided for by the transfer of such expenditures
from this appropriation to various operating and development accounts.
General Operations - Provision for a net contribution to the Municipal Levy
related mainly to the administration of the Authority rental properties.
Conservation Area Operations - This Program should be identified as one of
the Authority's major long term problem areas. The differential between the
revenue base and the current expenditures is increasing rapidly each year.
The budgetted expenditures for 1975 include the provision for the opening
of the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area, a 13% wage increase and an addi-
tional $125,000. for the acquisition of vehicles and equipment, outlined in
the administration appropriation. The provision of these items amount to
$50,000. in excess of the budgetted differential in 1974, which will mean a
severe cut back in the amount of general maintenance expenditures, and
thus the level of maintenance, and it should be noted that this will require
staff reductions in the Conservation Areas.
Information & Education Operations - The increased Municipal Levy required
in this Program relates to the inclusion in this program of the Pioneer Life
and Craft Program and educational tours at the Black Creek Pioneer Village,
neither of which are adequately supported by program revenues. It should
further be noted that the 1975 estimates of the Albion Hills, Claremont
and Cold Creek Conservation Field Centres reflect the increased fee structure
approved for 1975, and it is probable that the operating position will de-
teriorate if operating costs continue to increase, unless the fee structure
is adjusted in future years.
Black Creek Pioneer Village - A small contribution from the Municipal Levy
has been projected in 1975, but it is hoped that increased visitation will
offset increasing costs.
Water Control Structures - The major increase in 1975 is related to the re-
pair works at the Woodbridge Channel, which is an item of major maintenance
subject to special Provincial funding, the status of which is not known at
this time.
Conservation Area Development - This Program has been cut back from original
projections in the Multi -Year Forecast 1974 -78 as a means of making available
Provincial cash flow for use in the Flood Control Program, and further, be-
cause the increased development of facilities tend to escalate expenditures
in the Conservation Area Operations Program. The major item removed from
the Preliminary Budget Estimates is the provision of additional campsites
at the Cla:i.rev :i.l1-e Conservation Area.
A -60
3.
Conservation & Niagara Escarpment Land - Th:i.s Program provides for the purch-
ase of Ni al.mra Esearpmen Sand only, the Authority's share to be made avail-
able by the Nature Conservancy through The Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation foundation.
Conservation Services - This Program has been maintained at approximately
the same level as in 1974 and a provision made for the installation of port-
able buildings as a temporary alternative to the construction of the proposed
office addition.
Information & Education Development - This Program has been cut back to a mir
imurn level, so that a transfer may be made of Provincial cash flow to the
Flood Control Program and budgetted expenditures provide for minor items of
development at existing facilities. It should be noted that funds for the
architectural design of the Visitors Centre at the Black Creek Pioneer.
Village have been deleted from the 1975 Budget Estimates.
Historic Sites Development - This Program has been maintained at approximatel
the same level as in 1974, providing for the major expenditures on the Car.riE
Works. The Conservation Foundation has agreed to finance 50% of the proposer_
expenditures.
General Water Control Projects - The provision for Flood Line Mapping and
the Flood Warning System on which no expenditures were made in 1974, but on
which certain commitments have been made, and for safety stations consequent
of the report of the Water Hazard Review Committee.
Flood Control Plan - This Program has been outlined as the Authority's major
priority in 1975, but the general lack of funding, together with the over-
expenditure at the end of 1974 has resulted in the provision only of suffi-
cient funds to finance existing commitments. It should be noted that 1975
was planned to be the first year of the extension to WC -63, which at the
time of preparation of these budget estimates, has not been approved by the
Provincial Government, nor has additional cash flow been made available for
1975 capital works. Municipal funding has been adjusted accordingly as note(
above.
Water Control Projects (Benefiting Municipalities) - This Program is funded
Provincially from the same allocation as the Flood Control Plan and is there-
fore subject to the same constraints. The 1975 program provides for the ful
fillment of commitments made in 1974 and for minimum continuity of the Erosi(
Control Project.
Waterfront Development -- The attached budget estimates relate to the propose(
1975 work program, which will not be proceeded with in 1975 unless a substan
tial cash flow allocation is recieved from the Provincial Government with
respect to 1974 overexpenditures. It should be noted that the land acquisi-
tion provision includes the payment of the majority of Authority bank inter-
est in 1975, the amount of which is contingent upon the receipt of addition-
al Provincial cash flow, and towards which the Provincial Government will no
longer contribute. It is not possible to estimate the total amount of bank
interest payable by the.Authority in 1975, as this figure is dependant upon
the timing of additional cash flow allocations from the Provincial
Government.
Waterfront Development (Benefiting Municipalities) - This program provides
for the major part of the Planning Study related to the Central Sector of
the Waterfront, together with funds necessary to complete the dredging con-
tract of the Aquatic Park.

TO: All Members - The Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority (Special Meeting - March 21, 1975)
RE: FOOD SERVICES AGREEMENT
A five year Contract was entered into by the Authority with Canteen
of Canada Limited to undertake food services .at the Halfway IIouse
Dining Room at the Black Creek Pioneer Village, the kitchen facili-
ties at Conservation Field Centres and the concession booths in the
Conservation Areas, efiective January 1, 1973.
It was apparent at the time of letting the Contract that Canteen of
Canada seriously overbid and would likely experience financial diffi-
culties in its execution. Authority staff have had many discussions
with representatives of Canteen of Canada in the last two years to con-
sider ways of equitably adjusting the terms of the Contract in order
that the Company would not continue to experience a deficit position
financially. While the Company is cognisant of the fact that the
Authority could exercise the present terms of the Contract for the
duration of the five year term, an approach was made to the Authority
at the end of 1973 requesting that certain revisions be made to the
Contract. The Executive Cornmittee agreed at this time to adjust food
prices and make certain minor adjustments to the Contract and agreed to
review the situation at June 30, 1974 in the light of the position at
that time regarding food and labour costs.
The experience of Canteen in 1973 was a deficit of approximately $35,00C
followed in 1974 by a deficit of approximately $20,000. It is obvious
that this position could not be reasonably continued by Canteen of Canad
and an effort was made by the Company in 1974 to severely cut operat-
ing costs in order to reduce its deficit. This cost cutting severely
affected the level of service to the public in the Conservation Areas
and the staff of the Authority were concerned that the present terms
of the Contract were so detrimental to Canteen of Canada that unless
adjustments to the basic terms of the Contract were made, the level of
service in the Conservation Areas could further deteriorate. The
Authority's Executive Cornmittee was faced with the following alterna-
tives at the end of 1974:
1) To terminate the Contract with Canteen of Canada and to
advertise tenders for a revised Contract with another
Caterer;
2) To terminate the Contract with Canteen of Canada and for
the Authority to administer its own food services;
3) To adjust the present Contract with Canteen of Canada;
The Executive Committee considered a staff report regarding these alter-
natives together with input from the Authority's Food Consultants and
Legal Councel and decided that alternative #3 would be expeditious at
this time. The rationale behind this decision was that if the Contract
had been re -bid at the end of 1974, the tenders would have been based or
the experience of Canteen of Canada and possibly resulted in a substan-
tial reduction to the Authority in revenues from its food services.
The Executive Committee further considered that the Authority was not
in a position at the present time to administer its own food services,
but the existing Contract with the Caterer could not reasonably be
continued in the light of the deficit position of Canteen of Canada
compared with large commissions paid to the Authority. The attached
Executive Committee decision provides for a reduction in the profit of
the Authority designed to reasonably ensure that the Caterer breaks ever
in 1975 and subsequent years of operation, and provides for an incen-
tive for the Caterer to increase volumes significantly by the reduc-
tion of commission percentages payable.
The package renegotiation approved by the Executive Committee provid-
ed for the adjustments to commissions noted above, together with the
streamlining of administrative arrangements. A further negotiation
on a once only basis, was the reimbursement of. Authority commissions
in the amount of $10,000. for 1974 operations based on the following
factors:
A -107
Food Services Agreement Page #2
- heavy spring run-off in the Ciai.revi.11e Conservation Area
was responsible for the closing of the Area during most of
the summer, which severely affected the sales of the Com-
pany, for which it was in no way responsible;
- the new concession booth at the Bruce's Mi.11 Area was not
available for food services. at the anticipated time, which
further reduced the Company's sales;
- the attendance at the Conservation Areas generally dropped
significantly in 1974, which was another factor over which
the Company had no control, but which severely affected
sales;
- it was originally agreed to review the Contract at June 30,
1974, but, in fact, no adjustment was recommended until the
end of 1974;
The reduction in gross sales due to the above circumstances is antici-
pated to have been approximately $30,000., regarding individual facili-
ty problems, and a further $50,000., due.to the reduced attendance in
1974. The Company's profit on these amounts could reasonably have been
expected to be in excess of $10,000.
It should be noted that the Authority's agreement with its previous
Caterers, C.N.I.B., provided for an equal sharing of any profit accruing
from the food services operation, which did not, in any year, exceed
$25,000. and averaged less than $15,000., as compared with the
revised Authority commissions from its Contract with Canteen of Canada
for 1974 operations providing for $46,000. profit after the reimburse-
ment of $10,000. to the Company.
The Authority's 1975 Budget Estimates have been based on the receipt of
commissions approximating those in 1974 for although based on revised
commission percentages, a substantial increase in total sales volume and
gross sales should be experienced in 1975 by providing incentive to the
Caterer by means of Contract adjustments and by increasing selling prices
in 1975. It should be noted that if the 1975 Budget projections prove
to be unrealistic at any time during 1975, cut backs in operation expen-
ditures will be made in order to balance operational budgets.
It should be further noted that adjustment of the Contract with Canteen
of Canada would still provide for commissions substantially in excess of
either commission minimums or percentages tendered by the second highest
tenderer at the time of the letting of the Contract to Canteen of Canada.

Re: Report on Revenues and Cost of Operation of Conservation Areas
At meeting #2 of the Finance Sub- Committee held on January 28,
• 1975, the following resolution was passed:
"That the Committee convene a further meeting prior
to February 15, 1975, to analyze the financial
structure of conservation area operations and make
recommendations for action in 1975."
A preliminary report identifying the revenues and cost of operation
was prepared for the information of this Committee and to meet the
request of the Executive Committee Resolution #348/74. Subsequently
a further reduction in the amount of municipal funds available to
the Authority, and specifically the funding of conservation areas
operation, required a more complete report identifying the need for
increased revenues.
The following is submitted for your information and recommendations.
Introduction
The established policy of the Authority and other agencies in
Ontario is that the use of public open space be free, and user
fees should only apply to the services and facilities provided.
However, the escalating cost of living has had its effect on the
operation of conservation areas. Increased material costs, taxes
and wage rates, changes in funding programs by the Province and
increased acreage requiring maintenance combine to add substantially
to maintenance and operating programs. All these factors identify
the necessity of increasing the sources of funds to produce a more
equitable balance between revenues and municipal levies needed for
the continued availability of conservation areas for the general
public. Of all the alternatives -- Provincial funding, increased
facility development and an increase in the parking charges -- the
latter would appear to be the only viable solution at this time.
Factors Affecting Costs and Revenues
In a previous report the staff have indicated a trend toward the
levelling off of conservation areas visitations. A wide variety
of factors are responsible for this occurrence, including the
alternatives to outdoor recreation space, the visitor /vehicle
ratio, controlled parking areas (to reduce the number of accidents,
impact on the natural resources of the area and the reduction in
the number of parking attendants required), and unsuitable weather.
Weather, although difficult to completely identify, contributes to
decrease in attendance. Successive winters not conducive to
winter sports, late wet spring seasons, and cool summer week -ends
in the past three years have all been responsible for this decrease.
Other factors have also been responsible for the decrease in 1974
from 1973 -- the closing of the swimming facility at Claireville
due to the late spring storm and resultant run -off polluting the
waters of the lake, and the transfer of the Lower Rouge Conser-
vation Area to the Metropolitan Toronto Parks System.

Increased costs not only relate to the wage rate increase, inflated
costs for maintenance materials and equipment, and taxes on
revenue - producing areas, but additional lands acquired by the Auth-
ority which require maintenance programs.
In 1973 the 83 acre parcel of developed parkland known as Sandy
Beach Park was transferred to the Authority by Ontario Hydro. While
this land is classified as non revenue producing and the operation
budget is not responsible for the taxes, other maintenance costs
are necessary. In the past year these costs amounted to $8919.00.
Other non revenue producing conservation.areas, i.e. Palgrave
Forest & Wildlife, Woodbridge, and Authority operations, i.e. the
Central Services workshop, have combined with Sandy Beach Park for
a total operating expense of $42,853.00.
Low revenue producing areas like Claremont do not receive adequate
revenues to meet the taxes, let alone other operating costs. Total
revenues in 1974 from the Claremont Area were $6,975.00, while
operating costs amounted to $27,765.00, including taxe-: of
$8,233.00.
Sections of various conservation areas, and particularly Albion
Hills, have been restricted to public use through the establishing
of conservation field centres and associated facilities. While the
taxes on these lands are part of the conservation areas operating
budget, there are no compensating revenues.
Gate Control
While the primary function of a gatehouse at the entrance to a con-
servation area is for the collection of parking charges, this
facility also provides the necessary crowd control and distribution
of information to the users of the conservation areas. The safe
operation of our swimming areas, for example, is governed by the
total number of cars allowed in the area. Anticipating that 72%
of all people coming to an area will be interested in the swimming
facility, the total parking capacity of the area is designed in
connection with the capacity of the beach.
In 1974 the cost of operation of all gatehouses, labour and repairs
was $38,203.00. The revenues collected through the gate amounted
to approximately $327,340.00.

Further Costs Anticipated in 1975
In 1975 the opening of the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area will
add an additional operating cost of $95,520.00. The largest single
cost will be in the operation of the pool and associated buildings.
Based on 100 days of operation, it is expected that this facility
will require $45,625.00 for lifeguards, building attendants,
chemicals and equipment.
Although revenues have been projected at $42,250.00 for this area,
past experience has shown that large attendance to a new conser-
vation area does not materialize for two or more years of operation.
The attendance at Milne Conservation Area, for instance, has never
increased to the potential in the original design. Consequently,
beach design and other facilities have been cut back sharply to
provide budget monies for more needed facilities in other areas.

(In addition to the annual attendance recorded, there are a number

cannot be recorded.)

A policy change by the Province for the financing of vehicles and
machinery has increased the operations budget of conservation areas
by $134,900.00. This sum is set aside to cover the rental charges
of trucks, tractors, mowers, etc. used in the maintenance of con-
servation areas.
Program Adjustments in 1975
The adjustments to user fees already approved by the Authority for
implementation in 1975 will provide some increase in total revenues.
Additional parking in both the Boyd Conservation Area and the
Heart Lake Conservation Area should provide increased revenues
from these two Areas. The Heart Lake Area parking lot will open up
an area not presently available to the public and provide for an
increased capacity. In the Boyd Conservation Area a permanent
parking lot developed on the west side of the Humber River will
allow year round parking space, and in particular the early spring
visitation to the Area may be accommodated.
In order to keep labour costs within the budget figures allotted,
a scheduling of permanent employees in all conservation areas is
underway, keeping all employees between 40 and 44 hours per week.
In order to do this, all permanent staff are oriented toward week-
ends, taking days off during the middle of the week. This program
will mean that on some occasions there will be only one employee
in a conservation area on any given day during mid -week. The
orienting of permanent staff to week -end operations will decrease
the total part -time staff required for gate control, crowd control
and car parking. This shift in employees work times will cause
programs like grass cutting and garbage pickup to suffer somewhat.
The total level of maintenance in the conservation areas will
have to be reduced. A similar program is underway for lifeguard
staff, ensuring that the Authority will have supervision of all
swimming areas, but less intensified than in previous years. In
the Petticoat Creek artificial swimming area there is no flexibil-
ity in the lifeguard staff required. The numbers are established
through the Ministry of Health.
In its original year, the S.W.E.E.P. program produced a substantial
number of part -time employees for the conservation areas operation.
In subsequent years the value of these employees has been
recognized by other Divisions within the Authority, and since the
total number of students to be hired in any one year and the
budget allotment for this program has remained relatively constant,
the conservation areas operation has had less students available
to it. An increase in this program would be of value for the
operation of conservation areas.
In the coming year it is proposed to operate an increased family
camping program at the Albion Hills Conservation Area. The increased
number of sites from 65 to 130 and the adjustment from a week -end
to a seven day per week operation should produce a net revenue
for the Albion Hills Conservation Area in the neighbourhood of
$21,000.00.
Firewood sales are comparatively below the current market prices
set by private concerns. The staff are recommending that these
prices be increased to a competitive level.
The products from our nursery operation will also be increased to
reflect the increased labour and machinery costs. In addition,
municipalities and other government agencies will be charged at
the same rate as private individuals requiring stock. Since plant-
ing orders and schedules are completed for this year, planting
for individuals on the farm tree program will not be adjusted until
1976. It is recommended that the other programs be adjusted as
soon as possible.
Although adjustments in parking charges had.not been anticipated
in 1975, it is evident that an increase will be necessary to attempt
to retain the municipal levy without creating further cutbacks in
conservation areas operation. It has been evident in the past that
an increase in parking charges tends to decrease the total attend-
ance. An increase in the seasons passes in 1972 reduced our total
sales from 3450 in the previous two years to slightly over 1000,
and the sales of these passes have retained this level. The average
A -1.1.2
visits to conservation area; by purchasers of season: passes have
doubled since 1972. 'A variety of alternatives for recreation are
available and these alternatives are, for the most part, free
or less costly. In order to attempt to increase the total revenues
in conservation areas, it is recommended that the parking charges
to conservation areas be increased. On the basis of approximately
200,000 vehicles, it would be anticipated that, with the reduction
in attendance due to the increased charges, an overall increase
of revenues in the neighbourhood of $20,000.00 can be expected.
It would be recommended that the new fee structure become effect-
ive May 1, 1975.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the following parking charges for
conservation areas be revised as follows:
Existing
The fee for parking in all conser-
vation areas except Black Creek,
Palgrave and Woodbridge is,
(a) for one car, $1.50 a day;
(b) for an annual parking permit

18. PROPOSAL FOR THE PROVISION
OF RECREATION FACILITIES
IN THE METROPOLITAN PARK
SYSTEM
The staff presented a communication, together with a proposal from
the Metropolitan Council, having regard to Clause 1 of Report No. 9
of the Parks and Recreation Committee, for comment. Mr. T.W.
Thompson, Metropolitan Parks Commissioner, commented on the
proposal.
The proposal from Metropolitan Council, together with the staff
communication having regard to L.lause 1 of Report No. 9 of the
Parks and Recreation Committee, was received; and
The Parks and Recreation Committee of Metropolitan Toronto is to
be advised that the Executive Committee of the Authority has
reviewed the report 'Proposal for the Provision of Recreation
Facilities in the Metropolitan Parks System', and makes the
following observations:
(a) Metropolitan Toronto should be encouraged to develop its
role in outdoor and conservation education, and to work
with the Joint Committee on Outdoor and Conservation
Education established by the Boards of Education and the
Authority;
(b) The Authority should continue in its waterfront planning
to make provision for at least 4300 additional boat spaces;
(c) Forward to The Government of Canada the Metropolitan Parks'
report as it pertains to boating, in support of the
Authority's application for Small Craft Recreational
Harbours Assistance.
(d) The proposed Aquatic Park for which the Authority is now
preparing a master plan meets the requirements for the
employment of the boat club federation concept. The
direction of the Authority to its planning consultant
at Aquatic Park is for the inclusion of a boating area;
A federation should be tried in this location before a
committment is made for general use of the federation idea
across the waterfront;
(e) The provision and management of swimming facilities in the
Metropolitan Parks System should include family recreational
swimming areas of a beach /artificial lake type;
(f) Linking the Metro valley trail system with a waterfront
trail in the south; the provincially proposed parkway belt
trail in the Highway No. 7 corridor; and a Humber Trail
extending to the Niagara Escarpment; linking with the Bruce
Trail. Most of the land links for the Humber trail are now
in public ownership, and priority could be given to this
trail;
(g) An alternative to artificially creating suitable winter
recreation sites within Metropolitan Toronto is investment
in Authority owned lands within easy reach of the Metropolitan
population, and which are physically and climatically
suitable;
A -252 - 10 -
(h) In the Authority's view, the recognition of the
physical limitations of the valley system to absorb
recreation facilities and use is important, and will
continue to be the basis for Authority comment on
proposals for valley use;
(i) The proposals for the provision of recreation facilities
in the Metropolitan Parks System should take into
consideration the natural areas which are a part of the
system which Metropolitan Toronto helped create but lie
beyond the Metropolitan boundary, particularly with
respect to the unique recreation opportunities and
experiences they afford;
(j) Only specifically designated areas be made available on
motorized vehicles.
