20TH ANNUAL AUTHORITY MEETING FRIDAY-FEBRUARY-6-l976 #1/76
The Twentieth Annual Meeting of the Authority was held on Friday,
February 6, 1976 in the Council Chamber, Borough 0 f North York,
5000 Yonge Street, Willowdale, commencing at 2:00 p.m.
The Meeting opened with 0 Canada and the following Invocation
Prayer was given by Reverend Bailey Snow, Minister of Woodbridge
United Church, Woodbridge, ontario:
"God, our Spiritual Father, we give you praise and thanks for
sus tainil.~ thi s planet earth. We acknowledge that without your
laws to govern the spinning of the planets through space, we
would not be sitting here this afternoon.
At this moment as we are speeding on our way in the u~iverse on
this spaceship called 'The World', help us to sense the presence
of your Spirit in this room.
..
Help each one of us here, Father, to realize that knowledge
without wisdom is wasted. Help us to know that while knowledge
comes from the world around us, true wisdom only comes from the
presence of your Spirit within our minds and hearts. You have
spoken through Jesus and said that we might have your Spi~it
within us by opening the door of our minds and inviting you to
come in. We pray that each person here will make that invitation
to you now.
Father God, we particularly ask for your wisdom for those Nho
have leadership responsibilities in The Metropolitan Toronto and
Region Conservation Authority. Throughout the remainder of this
Twentieth Year may they govern wisely and well, knowing that all
things on this earth are held in trust for you.
Now may your Holy Spirit touch each heart and mind here today
that all that is said and done may be acceptable to you, our
Lord and our Redeemer.
These pJ;ayers are offered in and through the name of Jesus Christ,
our Saviour. Amen. "

GREE'~ '!NGS
Mayor Lastman, on behalf of North York Council, welcomed the Members
and brought greetings on the occasion of the 20th Annual Meeting of
the Authority and stated that relations between North York Council
and the Authority have always been characterized by a spirit of good-
will and cooperation; that all of us have a common aim - to make the
life of Metro's citizen~ better and more rewarding through the
preservation of open space, fields and streams. This is not meant to
imply, Mr. Lastman said, that the work of the Authority consists
completely of defending against possible encroachment on open space
by development and industrialization. You play an active role in
planning for the future of this urban area. Without that sort of
planning our children would be left with nothing but a sterile
environment - an environment which might be economically healthy
but which would be physically and psychologically unhealthy. North
York Council and, indeed the Co~ncils of all the Metro municipalities,
are dedicated to helping you in this effort. Together, I ~now that
we can achieve a great deal.
The Chairman welcomed MR. J.W. GILES, Asst. Deputy Minister of Natural
Resources who brought greetings from the Ministry on this - the 20th
birthday of the Authority and, on behalf of his colleagues, paid
tribute to Mr. Lunn on this special occasion and congratulated the
Chairman and the Authority for the accomplishments over the past
twenty years. -,
The Chairman thanked Mr. Giles and introduced MR. VERNON SINGER,
M.P.P., who was Reeve of the Township of North York at the time of
the formation of the Authority in 1957. As a local member of the
Legislature, Mr. Singer brought greetings and recalled the meeting
of February 20, 1957, when the Authority held its first meeting in
the then Township 0 f North York. He complimented the Authority on
the progress and success since that time.

A-II (b) REPOR'r TO
20TH ANNUAL MEETING
THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AU1~ORITY
The First Annual Meeting of The Metropolitan Toronto and
Region Conservation Authority was held in the North York
Municipal Chambers and it seemed appropriate to hold this
20th Annual Meeting in the same place.
~
Previous to that point in time there were four Authorities
- the Etobicoke-Mimico, Humber, Don and the R.D.H.P., which
was composed of the Rouge River and the Duffin, Highland
and Petticoat Creeks. One of the benefits of combining
these four watersheds into one was that it became easier
to determine how the municipal levy could be arrived at.
At that time the Authority's revenue was based on a per
capita amount against each individual living within a
particular watershed. The Humber and the Don Au thori ti es ,
, particularly, had trouble estimating the population
division within The City of Toronto. By combining the
four watersheds there was the launching of a tremendous
force for the advancement of conservation work.
From the membership of that first Full Authority Meeting,
we have five people who are still members of this Authority:
Mr. M.J. Breen
Mrs. J.A. Gardner
Mrs. F. Gell
Mr. J.A. Bryson, and a fellow by the
name of R.G. (Grant) Henderson.
Also from that list of original members we have six people
who are still actively involved in conservation work of one
kind or another:
.
Mr. W. Leavens from Bolton
Mr. W.C. Davidson, Q.C. - Metropolitan
Toronto
Mr. H.S. Honsberger, Q.C. - Metropolitan
Toronto
Mr. W.R. Wand - Toronto-Gore
Mr. Charles Sauriol - Metropolitan
Toronto, and
Mr. Sidney S. Pugh - Pickering, who
retired last year
They were all invited to attend this meeting and we have with
us today: Mr. W. C . Davidson, Q.C.
Mr. W.R. Wand
Mr. Charles Sauriol
. Mr. Sidney S. Pugh
,
A-ll(c)
Report to 20th Annual Meeting MTRCA Page 2
During the year 1975 the Authority appointed a Special
Committee to review the Regulations for the Conduct of the
Au thori ty. The previous Regulations had been adopted in
1958 and such a review was long over due. The review
took several months and many meetings and the new Regulat-
ions were adopted at a Special Meeting of the Authority
held on November 21, 1975. In accordance with the
provisions of The Conservation Authorities Act, the
Regulations have now been approved by The Honourable Leo
Bernier, Minister of Natural Resources.
Each memb~r of the Authority has been provided with a
copy of the new Regulations.
I believe that within the framework of these Regulations
and with the support of all the members of the Authority,
we will be able to carry out the important business of
conservation in a fair, responsive and efficient manner.
The Chairman of The Metropolitan Toronto and ~egion Con-
servation Foundation, Mr. Elgin Card, reports that
donations up to the end of 1975 are in excess of
$1,500,000.00.
The plans for the development of The Kortright Centre are
in the final phase. There will be a further report on
this later in the year.
Financial support for restoration projects in 1976 is
indicated by several organizations.
One distinction of last year's operation should be recog-
nized. At our Authority Meeting held in Mississauga on
Friday, October 17, 1975, the Authority was, for the fi rs t
time - picketed! It should be pointed out that the
.
pickets were not residents of Mississauga, but were
residents from The Town of Pickering. Their complaint was
the suggestion by the Authority of removing some residential
properties in the Rosebank Area.
1975 Was the first full year in which the new staff arrange-
ments for PLANNING AND POLICY work were in effect. Under a
Director of Planning and Policy the three resource management
divisions - Flood Control, Waterfront and Conservation Land
Management now have full capability for coordinated long-
range planning and policy development, project preparation,
environmental assessment and preparing recommendations for
reaction ~o the pl?ns and projects of other agencies..
.
A-Il(d)
Report to 20th Annual Meeting MTRCA Page 3
During the year a start was made on a review and updating of
Authority progralnmes and policies and much of this information
will be before the Authority Advisory Boards in 1976.
Briefs were prepared for submission to the MetroPlan Planning
process, the Royal Commission on Metropolitan Toronto, The
Government of Ontario in connection with its recommended
, plan for North Pickering and to the Borough of Scarborough
concerning its West Rouge Secondary Plan.
Two major projects were prepared for consideration by the
Authority - the Waterfront Plan 1977-1981 and the Outdoor
and Conservation Education Plan 1976-l978. Work on
Environmental Assessment on the Waterfront and the Flood
.
Control and Water Conservation Plan has been started in
these Divisions respectively.
Over the years the Authority has been very effective in
carrying out its responsibilities through a coordinated
approach to resource management and reaction to the plans
and projects of other agencies.
The Planning and Policy structure within the Authority as
it no~ e~i~ts has'~~b~tantially increased' the Authority's
capability in this aspect of its work.
Three years ago I asked the Chairmen of the Functional
Advisory Boards to prepare a resume of their activities,
which I then read at the Annual Meeting. This year they
were again asked to make. a report, but this time they will
read their own.

CONSERVATION AREAS ADVISORY BOARD --, - w. JAMES
The conservation areas operated by the Authority are an
important component of the open space system for the Metropolitan
Toronto region. The continued program of upgrading facilities and
the continual maintenance program have offered to the recreation
public a substantial contribution to their outdoor recreation needs.
The public attendance in all conservation areas increased
, this year, due to the good weather we experienced during the summer
period and the increased facilities and services provided, especially
with the opening of the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area. The
overall increase in attendance in 1975 is 145,000.
In the off seasons the staff are concentrating on the
.
forestry programs and the maintenance of vehicles and equipment, as
well as operating those winter facilities that are provided in con-
servation areas.
The first major activity in the spring is the maple syrup.
program at the Bruce's Mill Conservation Area, which attracted some
11,000 more visitors this year, giving us a total attendance in
1975 of 30,235, with 6,217 being school children on pre-arranged tours.
The planting programs in conservation areas also get under-
way at this time of year, both for private and conservation area
reforestation, and landscaping tree programs and the planting of
wildlife shrubs for wildlife habitat improvement. Special planting
days in the spring included the Honour Roll Awards program, the
public planting days at the Claremont Conservation Area, and special
Scout planting programs in the Claireville, Cold Creek and Greenwood
Conservation Areas. Each one of these Areas received approximately
10,000 reforestat~on trees, involving some 800 Boy Scouts.
The development of conservation areas this year was
oriented toward providing an improved service for the public in the
form of controlled parking lots, pedestrian access by footbridges,
and improvements to fish ponds at Glen Haffy and the sportsmen's
pond at the Cold Creek Area. Improved hydro services, primarily at'
the Black Creek Conservation Area, and water service for distribut-
ion to more accessible' locations for the general public were com-
pleted. During the summer period, conservation areas were maintained
for the general public, pbly assisted through the Experience '75
Program.

This past year saw the extension to the individual
camping program at the Albion Hills Conservation Area, enlarging it
from 65 sites to 130 sites, and operating on a 7 day per week pro-
gram. Although the attendance did not reach its potential, better
pUblicity and signing should inform the public of the availability
of this site in the coming year and produce a substantial increase
in the visitation.
The major item of development this year was the
relocation and reconstruction of the superintendent's residence in
the Bruce's Mill Conservation Area. Scheduled to be completed in
the early part of 1976 this development will provide the necessary
on-site supervision of a major use conservation area, and also
retain an historic building representative of the architectural
style within this general location and of the period.

FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER C.ONSEFVATION - J. CARROLL
The past year marked a period of reconsolidation with regard to
the Authority's primary programme, the Plan for Flood Control
and Water Conservation. As previously-arranged funding had
been expended, the Authority was, in effect, out'of the flood
control business~ The major effort was directed to obtaining
approval of 'a 5-year extension to the programme culminating, on
December 3, 1975, with approval by the Province of the Extension
to Project W.C.-63 in a total amount of $10,000,000. Of this,
the Province has agreed to make a grant of $5,000,000. The
Management Board approval of this grant sets a limitation on
Provincial funding totaling $835,000. for the period 1975-1976
inclusive. Approval of the extension will enable considerable
progress to be made on the implementation of the Plan.,
Project W.C.-60 - 'Erosion Control and Bank Stabilization in
Metropolitan Toronto: 10 Year Programme and 5 Year Project' saw
its first full year of operation during 1975 and, in the periOd,
remedial works were completed at 10 locations, .including sites on
the Mimico, Etobicoke and Highland Creeks and the Humber a~d Don
Rivers. Work has commenced on 2 additional locations and
engineering studies are in progress for 3 further locations for
which implementation is contemplated during 1976 and 1977.
1975 also saw the virtual completion of Project W.C.-69 - 'A
Project for the Reconstruction of the Mill Pond in Richmond Hill'.
The work involved in this project included the removal of
approximately 40,000 cubic yards of silt material from the Pond,
together with some rearrangement of tributary drainage in order
to reduce the silt and nutrient input in future years. Only a
small amount of final landscaping and site clean-up remains to be
completed in the spring of 1976.
In the area of regulation, the Authority carried out a complete
review of the map schedules accompanying its Fill Regulation and, .
as a result of the review, an amended set of Schedules was adopted
in November which should assist in making the administration of
this Regulation considerably more effective. The amendment is
now awaiting the approval of the Province of Ontario: however,
such approval may have to be deferred pending completion of a
study currently being carried out by the Province with regard to
the evaluation of flood plain management.

HISTORICAL SITES ADVISORY BOARD - J.A. BRYSON
In 1975 Black Creek Pioneer Village continued to enjoy its
good reputation welcoming over 295,000 visitors from all
parts of the world. For the second year the Village remained
open until after the Christmas holidays, and received a great
deal of favourable publicity as a result of the "Christmas in
the Village" programme.
,
The celebration of a Rogationtide Service, conducted by Rt.
Rev. Allan A. Read, Suffragan Bishop of Toronto,' took place
on June lst, in which several eminent guests participated.
Among these were Sir John Betjeman, Poet Laureate of England;
Professor Asa Briggs, Vice-Chancellor, University of Sussex;
Sir Hugh Casson of the Royal College of Art; and John Julius,
the Viscount Norwich. On that occasion another important
event took place when the Honourable Chief Justice Dalton D.
Wells officiated in the installation of Mr. Bruce Smi th as
Honorary Reeve of the Black Creek Pioneer Village. Mr. Smith
has fulfilled his commission as, Reeve with admirable competence
and efficiency, and I would like to thank him for his continual
support and encouragement to this project and indeed the work
of the whole Authority.
On June 17th, the Ministry of Community and Social Services
were the hosts of a Strawberry Social for ontario Senior
Citizens which was held at Black Creek. This proved to be a
most successful event, with an estimated 17,000 guests
visiting the Village and. enjoying a delightful picnic. Many
of the guests had the opportunity of meeting and chatting
wi th Premier william Davis who attended the function with hi,S
wi fe and hi smother.
The 19th Annual Pioneer Festival was held on September 20th.
This proved once again to be a most popular event, with an
attendance of just over 9,000.
The Early American Industries Association held its fall
meeting at Black Creek Pioneer Village on October 2nd - 5th.
This Association of tool collectors which was established in
1933 has only met once before in Canada. Special demonstrations
were arranged in addition to regular village activities. Both
Village staff and delegates enjoyed the visit tremendously.
The Village has received numerous compliments from the members
since, the meeting. .

While restoration of the Dom~nion Carriage Works is still in
progress, the east wing of the building was equipped as a
Cabinetmaker's Shop and opened for the Christmas programme.
The shop has been kept busy manufacturing the primitive wooden
toys that were enjoyed by children in the 19th century, much
to the delight of 20th century children and accompanying adults.
The importance of the educational programmes at Black Creek
continues to be demonstrated by the numbers of school classes
who visit from all parts of the Province. As a result of
continual' communication and dialogUe between educational
staff and school boards, the programmes have been further
developed to keep up to date with the requirements of
teachers and students.
In conclusion, I would like to express the thanks and apprec-
iation of the Historical Sites Division for the help and
support which it has received in numerous ways from so many
people. Their interest and generosity have contributed
greatly to making Black Creek pioneer Village an internationally
known Ontario folk museum, which has been visited to date by
well over 3,000,000 people.

INFORMATION & EDUCATION ADVISORY BOARD - DR. W.M. TOVELL
The Information and Education Advisory Board of The Metropolitan
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has responsibilities for
. public relations and education programmes and revising and updating
these programmes as required. The Division plans for special days
and organizes official functions such as the opening of a new Conservation
Area. These responsibilities make for busy schedules. The success
, in the past year is attributed to the capable and dedicated staff of
the Division.
In summary, participation in Information and Education programmes
was as follows:
Black Creek pioneer Village 64,391
Conservation Field Centres 14,907 .
Albion Hills Conservation Farm 8,865
Maple Syrup Days 31,108
Other* 11,433
TOTAL 130,604
* Includes special days, field trips,
Claireville Dam Tours, etc.
These figures are for arranged educational and interpretive
programmes only, and of course, do not include the general attendance
at Authority operated facilities. The 130,604 individuals represented
an income of about $397,000. All programmes operated at capacity. The
secondary school teachers' strike resulted in many cancellations at the
Field Centres but re-scheduling resulted in loosing only 3 days at Cold
Creek (the Day Centre) seven days at Boyd, and one weekend at Albion
Hills. All Centres are now completely booked for 1976.
To advertise the work and programmes of the Authority, 410,000
brochures were distributed in addition to 90 press releases and 53
photograph releases. The electronic media provided 22 interviews in
addition to making.~se of regular public service announcements. The
Authority has reason to be indebted to all segments of the media for
the acceptance of our material and the constru~tive way in which it is
used. We thank them for this.
The Information and Education Advisory Board also acknowledges the
support of the Foundation in the arranging for an exhibit of 1200 sq. ft.
,at the Canadian National Sportsmen's Show and a grant towards the
completion of the working drawings for the Kortright Centre for Conservatic
Highlights of the year in the sphere of special events were:

During the year, considerable time was spent on a proposal to
expand educational and interpretive facilities in the Boyd, . Claremont,
Lower Duffin Creek and Black Creek Conservation Areas. The negotiations
for the agreement for these facilities were on the basis of a partnership
with school boards' of the region along the same lines as the agreement
arrived at for the construction and operation of the Boyd Conservation
Field Centre. This latter agreement was highlighted' in the report of
the Information and Education Advisory Board last year. However, funding
the new project is not possible at the present time.
In cooperation with The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Foundation, the plans for the much publicized Kortright Centre were
finalized, together with a script for the certain exhibits. While funds
from the private sector have been forthcoming, the availability of the
matching provincial grant for 1976 is still in doubt.
The present financial climate is unfortunate in terms of the
development of much needed projects such as those mentioned above. But
the time and effort should not be thought of as wasted, the projects
are worthwhile, and when conditions change the appropriate documents
are ready to go.

To conclude, I offer my sincere thanks to my colleagues on the

for their support throughout this active but difficult year.

REFORESTATION & LAND USE ADVISORY BOARD - G. LOWE
The Conservation Services program has contributed not
only to the conservation area development, but has been of assist-
ance to a wide variety of private landowners to establish proper
conservation measures on their land holdings, which in turn benefits
other programs of the Authority in the reduction of soil erosion
and the siltation of streams.
,
Although the total number of reforestation trees
planted throughout the Authority area was down slightly from the
previous year, 83,000 reforestation trees have been planted on
private lands and 36,000 on Authority owned lands. In addition to
this, the Boy Scouts from Ajax, Mississauga, Vaughan and King
planted some 30,000 reforestation trees. Private landowners also
took advantage of the other programs for farm trees and wildlife
shrubs. In this connection, 13,000 trees and shrubs were planted
on private lands.
The tree spade used for the transplanting of large
caliper trees, primarily for landscaping projects of the Authority,
.. has been effective in landscaping programs in the various conser-
vation areas and in a number of sites being developed by the
Waterfront Division. It has also been rented by four private
landowners for planting programs.
The streambank stabilization program assisted eight
private landowners in strearnbank erosion control projects this
sununer, and in addition assisted the City of Mississauga on a pro-
ject in the Etobicoke Creek between Bloor and Burnhamthorpe, and
on the Mimico Creek near the conununity of Malton.
"Operation Doorstep Angling", a co-operative fish
management project between The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Con-
servation Authority and the Ministry of Natural Resources, has com-
pleted its initial two year study. We feel that this worthwhile
project has been well received by the public. This agreement has
been extended in order to complete the reports and the reconunendat-
ions, and to carry out some trial procedures. It is anticipated
that the reports will be completed by April and certain reconunendat-
ions will be carried out on specific sites to test their feasibility
in 1976.

The water quality improvement project at the Heart
Lake Area, in co-operation with the Ministry of the Environ-
ment, has been interrupted for the winter period, but will
restart in March of 1976. The full report from the Ministry
will be provided to the Authority during 1976. '
The analysis program at the Lake St. George Conser-
vation Area, under the direction of Environment Canada, is
continuing, and early indications have suggested this to be
a worthwhile program. A complete report will be produced on
the completion of the program in 1977.

WATERFRONT ADVISORY BOARD - M.J. BREEN
1975 was an active year for waterfront development. It was the
f9urth year of the 5 year Waterfront Project and it witnessed
,
the achievement of several key objectives.
In the west end, the 38 acre land base for Humber Bay East was
completed by mid-year and a start was made on the boat basin at
Humber Bay West. In all, approximately 15 acres of new land
were created here in 1975. At Ashbridge's Bay, in the eastern
end of the City of Toronto, landfilling was finalized and
extensive armouring was carried out. The 32 acres of new land,
and another II acres of protected water, will be the Authority's
prime area of development during the coming year. Bluffers Park
in Scarborough saw a concentration of effort during 1975, with
the development of servicing, launching ramps, extensive
landscaping, and last but not least, the lavatory buildings.
This 25 acre site was opened to the general public late last
summer and will be officially opened in June of this year. I
hope all of you can attend.
In 1975 approximately $2~ million was spent on waterfront
development which was within 2% of the budget target; and a
further $500,000 was exp~nsed on land acquisition.
In addition to active site development, the Authority was
actively involved in the planning of future waterfront development.
Amongst these was a joint study, in partnership with the Ministry
of Natural Resources, to determine feasible ways of improving
sport fishing along the waterfront, the results of this study
will be interesting for us all. As well, the Authority, as
the province's agent is in the midst of preparing a plan for
Aquatic Park on the outer harbour headland. This 200 acre
body of land and water has great potential for fulfilling
those demands for waterfront use that are unique in terms of
location and space requirements.

WATERFRONT ADVISORY BOARD - page 2 Page 14
It is clear that the creation of land and protected water
areas has contributed dramatically to developing the
recreational potential of our waterfront. To date the
Authority has created more than 100 acres of land and 50
acres of protected water by the careful use of material
which might otherwise be considered waste. It should be
noted, that the cost of this land is considerably less than
the cost of purchasing land in similar areas, and is self
liquidating in the sense that the cost of having to place
this fill elsewhere has been saved.
Although 1975 was a year of active site development, land
acquisition continued in several key areas. The most notable
was the invaluable addition of the Seminary lands abutting
Bluffers Park in Scarborough; this section of the waterfront
with its magnificent bluffs are unique amongst all the
shorelines of the Great Lakes. I am convinced that all of
our acquisitions, large and small, will be of great long term
benefit to our region because they provide the opportunity
for future generations to enjoy activities unique to our
waterfront resource.
We have just passed through a cycle of high water levels on
Lake ontario. It has served to bring home to all of us the
need for a comprehensive shoreline management programme for
our waterfront. Last year, at this time, the Chairman
reported that the Authority requested the Minister of Natural
Resources to seek financial assistance from the Government of
Canada for such a programme. To date, there have been no
concrete conclusions resulting from discussions held. I feel
that the matter of shoreline management is important and trust
that during 1976 a worka~le partnership with other levels of
government can be organized, and that an appropriately funded
programme can be set up for early implementation. The Authority,
with its unique composition, would be an ideal agency to carry
out this kind of programme. In this regard a delegation of
the Authority will be going to Ottawa to request support and
financial contribution to this programme. We need the support
of all of you in this endeavour.

During 1975 a second 5 year Waterfront Project has been
prepared, and will run from 1977 to 1981. This document has
recently received the approval of the Waterfront Advisory Board
and will be coming to you for your comments and approval at a
subsequent meeting. It addressed itself to the completion of
several key waterfront areas with particular emphasis on those
, activities that are best accommodated on the waterfront.
The media described in vivid terms during 1975, the tremendous
surge in boating activity over the last few years. In the
original Waterfront Plan it was difficult to justify 1,500
additional boat spaces; now, however, our plans acknowledge
the need for at least 7,500 spaces. Recent studies show that
by 1990 there will be demand for the berthing of 20,000 small
craft.
Accommodation of the boating public is an important component
of all our waterfront projects. We are actively supported by
Metropolitan Toronto planners in this for they too have
identified the urgent need for more small craft boating areas
for the use of the "ordinary guy" who wants to use the waterfront
adjacent to him for his chosen recreational activity. The
provision of boating facilities is not just for a few; it is
also in the interest of sound resource management and as such
affects many people. An example of this is the reduction in
demand for our northern lakes, some of which can ill afford
further development pressUre; as well we might save some gas
by elimimating the drive up north!
To, further our capabilities of providing small craft facilities,
a delegation.qf this Authority went to Ottawa last year to
. obtain assistance from the Government of Canada through their
Marina Assistance Programme. The result was promising and with
a little luck we may get some help this year or next.
The shoreline of Metropolitan Toronto and region has, for the
last 80 years, belonged to the railroads, the shipping lines
and industry. All of us are working towards a shoreline that
will ultimately belong to all the people for their use and
enjoyment.

Fred has been the Secretary-Treasurer of this Authority since
its inception. We know we will all miss him because, with
his personality and steadfastness he has steered the. Authority
through many many difficult times. I would think that he must
derive a great deal of satisfaction in the way the Authority
has advanced in the last nineteen years. Possibly if I read a

This continent today stands on a pinnacle of wealth and
power, yet we live in a land of vanishing beauty, of
increasing ugliness and shrinking open space and of an
overall environment that is dimished daily by pollution
and noise and blight. The more we get out of the world
the less we leave and, in the long-run, we shall have to
pay our debts at a time that may be very inconvenient for
our own survival. The Conservation Authority is one of a
few autonomous bodies, composed of dedicated people,
working for the preservation of, not only our natural
heritage, but virtually the salvation of the human race.

D~FT SF.CONDARY PLAN STUDY
The Director of Planning and Policy presented a communication
having regard to the Draft S~condary Plan 'Study - West Rouge
Area. .
The staff communication having regard to the West Rouge Area
Draft Secondary Plan study was received; and the Recommendations
contained therein, as amended and set forth herein, were adopted:
The Borough of Scarborough Planning Board be advised that The
Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has
reviewed the West Rouge Area Draft Secondary Plan Stu~y and
has noted that:
(a) Alternatives (1) and (3) accommodate Authority policy
with respect to the Rouge Valley lands, the Chesterton
Shores area and an open space link to the Lake Ontario
shoreline;
(b) Alternatives (1) and (2) do not leave open the option
for possible future extension of Lawrence Avenue to
the east of the Rouge Vall~y into Durham Region. While
access to the ~ower Rouge Conservation Area, the Petticoat
Creek Conservation Area and the linking together of
waterfront areas in Scarborough and Pickering by Lawrence
Avenue are not in themselves justificction for the
extension of Lawrence Avenue across the Rouge River,
they are important community objectives and it would, in
the view of the Authority, be short-sighted to pot
provide the option of their achievement in concert with
~ther traffic objectives which further detailed study
may reveal as necessary;
(c) Any proposal for the development of the Rouge Hills Golf
Course lands, whether at the Secondary Plan, Zoning By-Law
. or Sub-Division Plan approval stage, should ~ecognize the
undersirability of directing further storm draina~c into
the Rouge Valley marshes and should identify the
alternatives available for dealing with storm drainage
in this area.

A communication from the Secretary-Treasurer having regard to

19. HARBOURFRONT PIAN
A communication from the Director of Planning and Policy having
regard to the Harbourfront Plan was presented.
The staff communication having regard to the Harbourfront Plan
was received; and
The Recommendations contained ther~in and set forth herein we~e
adopted:
THAT the Harbourfront Council be advised that the Executive
Committee of the Authority has reviewed the planning pT0posals
set out in "Planning Harbourfront/3" dated November, 1975 and
makes the following comments:
(a) The proposed plan is, in general terms, complementary to
the Authority's development in other waterfront sectors,
particularly inasmuch as i~ is a very urban proposal
suitable to its central downto~n location, and provides
for strong linkages to the eastern and western beaches
and to the downtown core;
(b) The proposal for a "Natural park" west of the Peter street
slip is misleading. ~Vhile there may be many things growing
and living there, it will, of necessity, be very artificial.
In this location a simple 'green spot' may be very effective
as a relief from the more active sites surrounding it;
, (c) The proposals for automobile access to and accommodation
adjacent to the site are very important to regional users
and should be supported!
(d) nle Authority has given considerable attention to the
provision of boating fucilities in the entire Metropolitan
region. All studies have indicated a need for additional
mooring and docking facilities. This fact notwithstanding,
the proposal for a marina adjacent to the Spadina Quay is not
appropriate. The inner harbour areu is alrec:ldy overcrowded
and the addition of a 350 boat marina in this locution,
purticulurly Wiel the suggested restriction on use (larger
keel boats) is not the optimum use of funds to serve the
boating con~unity. The Authori ty reconunencls that the highest
priority for federal funds of bOuting facilities should be
i\t one of the sites c:llrc~i1dy plc:lnnC'u and proposed by the
Authority 0\lt'!;id~~ tl1l' c('ntr~l 11;11:l>nu)~ ul"C'i:l, and cupuble
of cOlllllluni ty U:.;C: and further
'J1hc!;e C()I\IlIl('nt-r~ ;1r.(' to be fOr.\"Llr.d0.c1 to 'rho Province of onturio and
the Central W;:t ter front P1Llnni IlCJ Cununi t tee.

OVERVIEW \
OF 1.
1976 CURRENT AND CAPITAL BUDGET ESTIMATES
- :J:I
AUTHORITY PURPOSE, ACHIEVEMENTS & OBJECTIVES I
-..J
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has adopted a program designed to further the conservation, restoration, v'
development and management of the natural resources of the 1,339 square miles included in the ,~uthority'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.
Established resource management programs include flood control and water conservation, erosion control, waterfront development,
and fish and wildlife management. In implementing these programs) 25,000 acres of land have been acquired and, in addition to
their being managed for the conserva~ion functions they perform, they are made available to the community for outdoor and con-
servation education, recreation and historic site purposes.
Within these comprehensive program guidelines, the Authority has, over the years, reflected the priorities and policies of the
partner-s, the participating municipalities and the Province of Ontario as expressed through the representative Authority members.
Since 1957, 69% of the Authority's capital and development budget has been devoted to the valley systems in flood control and
water conservation, 14% has been devoted to Lake Ontario shoreline management, 16% to upstream management in conservation areas
and reforestation, and 1% to outdoor and conservation education.
The 1976 Budget Estimates for administration, operations and maintenance, current and capital programs reflect the emphasis on
Flood Control and Water Conservation, Waterfront Development and pr~vide for the management af lands and facilities acquired and
developed in connection with this program.
CHANGE IN FOR}~T OF PRESENTATION
the 1976 Budget Estimates are presented in a new format, which is considered to more clearly identify the cost of Authority pro-
grams and the sources of funding such costs.
'While these Estimates, in the main, reflect a subjective classifieation of expenditures as in previous years, an objective classi-
fication, or "feature group" is identified for information purposes, as the Authnrity is now required to report such information
to the Province of Ontario through its member municipalities.
AUTHORITY PROGRAMS
The Authority programs are identified on the following pages of these Budget Estimates in four basic categories:-
Administration (Pages 7 to 10) - Administration, General Operations
Operations & Maintenance (Pages 11 to 18) - Conservation Area Operations, Information & Education Operations, Black Creek
Pioneer Village Operations, Maintenance of Water Control Structures
Current Programs (Pages 19 to 30) - Conservation Area Development, Conservation & Niagara Escarpment Land, Conservation
Services, Information & Education Development, Historic Sites Development, General Water Control Projects
Capital Programs (Pages 31 to 38) - Flood Control Plan, Water Control Projects (Benefiting Municipalities), Waterfront
Plan, Waterfront Plan (Benefiting Municipalities)
, 2.
Expenditures on administration, operations and maintenance and current programs comprise the Authority's general levy on all par-
ticipating municipalities apportioned on the basis of equalized assessment as supplied by the Province of Ontario. Expenditures
on capital programs are financed as a capital levy on benefiting municipali~ies.
The details of individual programs and objectives for 1976 are identified individually on later pages of these Budget Estimates.
FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS
The Budget Estimates are presented after extensive negotiations with representatives of the irovince of Ontario and have been
based on definitive allocations of Provincial funding for 1976. Provincial constraints are in effect in all funding allocations,
which h~ve been reflected in the adjustment of total program rather than a shift to other sou~ces of funding.
The municipal levy projected in the Budget Estimates has been reported to The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto as part of a
required budget. submission. The Regional Municipalities of Durham, Peel and York and the Townships of Mono and Adjala have been
informed of the Authority's projected levy, and representations have been made by delegation as requested to The Municipality
of Metropolitan Toronto and the Regional Municipalities of Durham and Peel.
INFLATION FACTOR
The Budget Estimates reflect an inflation factor of 9%, as specified by The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. Salary and
wage increases have been held to 10% in accordance with the Federal Government's Anti-Inflation Program and the associated direc-
tion of the Province of Ontario.
AUTHORITY FUNDS
The balance of Authority funds in the amount of $103,919. existing at the end of 1975, have been appropriated as follows:-
$69,370. - to fund commitments for the completion of the addition to the Administrative Headquarters Building, under con-
..... struction
$34,549. - to reduce the municipal levy
THE 1976 LEVY
The apportionment of the 1976 municipal levies is the 1974 assessment data for 1975 taxation purposes, as supplied by the Prov-
ince of Ontario. Such assessment does not include adjustments for payments in lieu of taxes or for weighting factors for prop-
erty tax stabilization.
The municipal levy has been maintained at the same level as that of 1975 reflecting ~he constraint programs of the Province of
. . Ontario and the Authority's participating municipalities.
In accordance with the policy adopted by the Authority, the Regional Municipalities of Durham, Peel and York have been levied an
amount equal to 50% of the 1975 taxes paid by the Authority for revenue producing conservation areas within those municipalities. ~

Operations account to administration and were eligible for a grant from the Province of Ontario.
Authority funds are required in 1976 to fund those salaries in Information & Education Operations.
The funding allocations of the Provinee of Ontario in 1976 h.._ve necessitated a reduction of the staff
complement by three positions in 1976, one deleted, two transferred to General Operations and a re-
duction in the Information & Education Program. Provision has been made for a general 10% increase
in salaries, but no provision has been made in 1976 for an increase in the level of employee benefits.

PROGRAM CONSERVATION AREA OPERATIONS PAGE 11.
PURPOSE: The conservation and management of lands under the jurisdiction of the Authority and the provision
of outdoor recreation opportunities.
1976 OBJECTIVES: _ the man~gement and operation of 17,000 acres of Authority lands including 14 conservation areas,
which will provide 1.3 million user days of recreation
_ a more adequate level of maintenance is planned for 1976 in accordance with good conservation
practices
- to provide revenue producing visitor services
FUNDING: Program revenues and the General Levy on all participating municipalities. No Provincial grant is
available for this program.
FINANCIAL COMMENTS: In 1975, the revenues received came close to meeting projected revenues. Tight budget controls,
which were in effect, kept the or :rating costs of the program wit-~in budget limits. In 1976, pro-
jected program revenues have been estimated as an average of the pas~ three years, thus reducing an-
ticipated revenues by 2.2% from 1975. Higher costs have been estimated to account for wage increases
and the more adequate level of maintenance, .which is planned. As a result, expenditure projections
have been increased by 22.5% over 1975 actual spending.

PROGRAM INFORMATION & EDUCATION OPERATIONS PAGE 13. -
PURPOSE: To provide an outdoor and conservation education program for school students at four conservation
field centres and to provide outdoor and conservation education opportunities in conservation areas
and the Black Creek Pioneer Village for the general public and school groups on an organized basis
in order that they can better understand the management and use of their renewable natural resources.
.
1976 OBJECTIVES: - a continuation of the program at the same level of service as in 1975, providing for the following
estimated number of students:-
Black Creek Pioneer Village 64,000
Conservation Field Centres 14,000
Albion Hills Conservation Farm 9,000
Maple Syrup Days 31,000
Special Days, Field Trips, C1airevi11e Dam Tours etc... 12,000
FUNDING: Program revenues and the General Levy on all participating municipalities. A surplus or deficit on
the operations of the Boyd Conse1~ation ~ie1d Centre will by agr~ement, be charged or credited to the
participating Boards of Education. No Provincial Grant is available for this program.
FIN~~CIAL COMMENTS: Comparison of the 1975 actual spending with. the 1976 Budget Estimates must take into account the
transfer, in 1975, of $61,796. to the administrative program, as noted earlier. Expenditure projec-
tions reflect an 18% increase over 1975 actual spending. The user fees at the conservation field
centres have been raised from $350.00 per day per class to $400.00 per day per class, which will place
. the centres on a sound financial basis in 1976. A review of funding for educational programs will
be undertaken in 1976.

BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE OPERATIONS \0
PROGRAM PAGE 15.
-
PURPOSE: To provide a living portrayal of a cross'roads village in the period of Canada's confederation.
1976 OBJECTIVES: _ to continue the effective operation of this facility within the financial constraints
_ to accommodate the expected 300,000 visitors in 1976
_ to adequately maintain the historic structures, which make up the Village
FUNDING: Program revenues, the museum grant of $12,000. f:oM the Province of Ontario, endowment funds from
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation and the general levy on all participat-
ing municipalities. .
FINANCIAL CO}~NTS: Revenues for the Black Creek P~.oneer Village in 1975 wer~ insufficient to meet operating costs.
1976 Budget Estimates are made on the basis of the Village being open for the same time periods as
in 1975 and allowing for operating expenditures to be increased by approximately 8.3%, representing
slightly less than a provision for inflation purposes. User fees at the Village have been increased
from $2.00 to $2.50 and revenue estimates have taken this increase into account along with an expect-
ed increase in attendance. No provision has been made for the operation of the Carriage Works,
Doctor's House and the Mennonite Meeting Hall.
As actual program revenues are largely determined by weather conditions, the expenditures at Black
Creek Pioneer Village will have to be ~onitored throughout the year in order that any shortfall in
anticipated revenues can be balanced by cutbacks in operating costs. I

Re Application for Permit Under O.R. 735/73
Piax Investments Limited
Duffin Creek Flood Lands, Town of Ajax
This Executive Committee confirmed the decision of hearing
held this date; and
The application of Piax Investments Limited for permission
to build an automobile dealership with sales and service
buildings and related parking facilities on the flood
plain of the Duffin Creek, being Part of Lot 16, Concession
I, Town of Ajax, be not granted, for the following reasons:
(a) The entire property lies within the area which was
flooded during Hurricane Hazel - 1954, as defined
on Authority Flood Line Map Sheet No. 3 of the
Duffin Creek. Although no permit was obtained
from the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority, certain portions of the property have
been filled subsequent to Hurrican Hazel. Even
with the fill in place the land would be flooded
under conditions of a design flood stage;
(b) The proposed development would seriously reduce
the natural flood storage area in this particular
segment of the Duffin Creek valley;
(c) In ~ontravention of the provisions of Ontario
Regulation 735/73, made in accordance with Section
27, subsection (1), clause (e) of The Conservation
Authorities Act, R.S.O. 1970, Chapter 78, the said

development inconsistent with their natural character.
Co~'cil also recognizes that river valleys and

Accordingly, the use of these lands for any purpose
'should be based on established design flood criteria,
erosion control considerations and an effort to
perpetuate the benefits bestowed by nature;
2) Council undertakes to work with The Metropolitan
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to plan
for the improvement, conservation and protection of
valley lands and the Lake Ontario shoreline within
the municipality's jurisdiction;
3) Council, in conjunction with The Metropolitan Toronto

of regulating building or the placing of fill
adjacent to those valleys clar.sified as major or
intermediate;
9) Council will establish a development setback of
at least 40 feet from top of bank for the purpose
of regulating building or the placing of fill
adjacent to those valleys classified as minor;
10) Council will not permit any building or placing of
fill in any valley classified as major or intermediate,
or within a minimum of 100 feet from the top of the
bank of such valley, unless such building or placing

resource;
11) In considering development applications, Council will

The. Planning Act to prevent unnecessary changes in
the character of the predevelopment landscape,
