Mr. Hender~on advised the Members that Mr. Mel Lastman, Mayor of the
Borough of North York would address the Meeting.
Mayor's Address:
"Chairman Henderson and Members of the Conservation Authority: it is
my pleasure to welcome you and bring greetings on behalf of the
Borough of North York on the occasion of your 21st Annual Meeting.
We are pleased that you are holding this event in our Municipal
Building again this year. OUr goals are similar; both the Conservat-
iop Authority and North York Council want to preserve open green
space in The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. North York is
blessed with a number of beautiful ravines and much of that is due to
your foresight; and we know that the quality of life for our residents
is enhanced by the existence of these unspoiled areas. We want to
preserve the ravines, not only for the present, but also for future
generations.
OUr children are learning about preserving what is good in our
environment. They are sincere about ecology and, through education
in our public schools, it is obvious that a new generation of
environmentalists is emerging.
.Let's hope it will make your job and ~ job a little easier. With
the push for more space for development, we must continue to protect
the remaining green space in Metropolitan Toronto.
.
I sincerely hope that the Conservation Authority will consider com-
pletion of the Rosa Lord Dam Project on Pinch Avenue in 1977.
I wish you a productive and successful term."

REPORT TO
21ST ANNUAL MEETING
THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
The year 1977 will, in many ways, be a landmark year for
Conservat~on Authorities - our Authority in particular.
1977 is the 30th Anniversary of the passing of The
Conservation Authorities Act by the Ontario Legislature.
This far-seeing piece of legislation paved the way for the
establishment of Conservation Authorities to undertake
resource management programmes reflecting local needs and
priorities. The record of achievement is remarkable and
is, in no small way, attributable to the strong support .
which The Province of Ontario has given. In 1976, The
Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
completed 20 year~ of operation. A bronze medal has been
struck in commemoration of this event - you will all
receive one today.
Last year, under the leadership of The Honourable Leo Bernier,
Minister of Natural Resources, Provincial relationships with
Authorities were greatly strengthened through the production
of a Procedural Manual, which streamlines our work with the
Province and facilitates the payment of grant~. Under the
new procedures, we were advised by Mr. Bernier, early in
January, of his approval of funds for the year 1977, includ-
ing substantial increases in response to this Authority's
desire to strengthen its flood control and downstream erosion
control work.
The Province continues to be of great h~lp.in our work by
q 'Experience'
providing student worker funds under the summer
programme and funds for our special projects at The Kortright
Centre and Black Creek Pioneer Village from Wintario.
The 30th year of The Conservation Authorities.Act in this
Province is a year in which the support of the Province and
our Minister is as strong or stronger than it has ever been.
Last April 1, 1976, Mr. Kenneth Higgs assumed the duties of
Secretary-Treasurer. There were a few upsetting changes in
the staff, especially in the Finance Division. This is now
getting into a smooth-running operation. Much of the thanks
for this is due to Allan Harris, our new Administrator of
Finance.

There was also a silver medallion coined-for Authority members
and staff.
43 Members have served for 10 or more years. These medallions
will be presented at a special Garden Party at Black Creek
Pioneer Village on May 27.
91 Staff members were eligible and the presentation was made at
the Staff Christmas Party.
.
It is imperative that I make special mention of our Vice-
Chairman. Florence Gell has, at all times, been very
co-operative. The Chairman has found it necessary, from time
to time, to ask her to attend meetings. There was never any
hesitation in her compliance. For this, I extend to her a
sincere "thank you".
.
In January, Florence Gell was elected Chairman of the Board of
Governors of Humber College of Applied Arts and Technology. I
am sure you all wish to extend your congratulations.

to thank them at this time.
THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION FOUNDATION
The President of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Foundation, Elgin H. Card, has advised that donations received to
the end of 1976 exceeded two million dollars, including the
Capital Grant from Wintario.
The fund raising program for The Kortright Centre for
Conservation was finalized and all the necessary funds raised for
the Foundation's share of this project.
As you are aware, construction of this facility commenced during
the month of August 1976, and is proceeding on a satisfactory
basis, despite" the extreme weather handicap of this winter.
It is interesting to note that a large number of corporations
have indicated their financial support to provide some very
ingenious exhibits and displays, which will be designed and con-
structed by them in conformity with our conservation philosophy.
During 1976, the following charJes occurred in the management
of the Foundation:
. E.H. Card became President and Chairman of the Board of
Directors;
. J.G.C. Weir became Vice President and Vice Chairman of
the Board of Directors;
. F.L. Lunn retired as Secretary-Treasurer as at December
31, 1976 and was replaced by K.G. Higgs, effective
January 1, 1977. At the same time, Mrs. P. Arsenault
was appointed Assistant Secretary-Treasurer and R.W.
Dodds became Chairman, Planning Committee.
Major financial support was received for Black Creek Pioneer
Village restoration projects, which will allow the completion of
The Doctor's House, The Taylor Cooperage and the Mennonite
Meeting House in 1977.
The Foundation provided $1,000. during 1976 for The B. Harper
Bull Conservation Fellow~hip Awards.
Appreciation is expre~sed f~r the outstandi~g financial support
received from so many finnn~ial and commercial institutions,'

CONSERVATION AREAS ADVISORY BOARD w. JAMES
Conservation Areas within the ~~tropolitan Toronto region continue
to provide a worthwhile component of the outdoor recreation needs
of the residents of Metro and adjacent urban areas. The .attend-
ance this year decreased slightly from 1975, down approximately 9%
or 118,400 people. This decrease occurred during the May to
August period, when cool, wet weather, particularly on'weekends,
discouraged outdoor activity. The.January to April and September
to December periods indicated a slight increase in use over 1975.
The continued upgrading of facilities in all areas concentrated on
planting and woodlot management programs, as well as service and
improvements for pedestrian safety and movement within the areas.
A major resigning program was undertaken this year, in compliance
with the new signing policy of the Ministry of Transportation and
Communications, to develop uniform signage to all conservation
areas in Ontario. Improvements within conservation areas included
water supply systems and the completion of the superintendent's
residence in the Bruce's Mill Conservation Area. A refreshment
facility was also developed in the maple syrup pavilion at the
Bruce's Mill 1\rea to enhance the experience of groups and
individuals attending thi~program. The purchas~ of rowboats and
.
.

and the construction of dock facilities at the Claireville Area
will provide another activity for the users of this area in 1977.
During the year, 14 conservation areas are open and operated for
the general public, with the staff ably assisted by students
working in ~he 'Experience' program. Seven of these areas remain
open during the winter months for recreational activities. During
the year, the staff carry out routine operation and maintenance
programs when the areas are actively used by the general,public.
During the off-use times, the area crews concentrate on completing
the development items for which budget provision has been made.
Programmed activities are providing increased uses of these areas,
and although the attendance at the maple syrup program in Bruce's.
'Mill dropped 3,500 people this year, attracting only 26,700, the
program remains productive, and better weather conditions in corning
years will certainly produce a better attendance. The pilot ski
program at Albion Hills actually started in the spring of 1976, but
was greatly expanded for the winter period starting in December '76.
200 sets of cross-country skis, complete with boots and poles, 50
sets of downhill skis and 25 pair of snowshoes have enabled a con-
tinuous program for the general public on weekends, and school
groups Monday through Friday. S~is are available for rent, and
the package to school groups includes ski instruction. Instructions
are available to the general public on evenings and weekends at an
additional fee. The promotion of this program .through the various
schools and the news media, complete with better-than-average
weather conditions, has produced a highly successful program to
date, with attendance figures at the Albion Hills Area well in
excess of the 1976 figures.
FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER CONSERVATION ADVISORY BOARD J. CARROLL
1976 was the second year of the current 5-year project. Under this
program, the major component, land acquisition, .continued at a con-
siderable rate: 144 acres of valley land were acquired, involving
25 separate properties. Perhaps the most significant of these was
the settlement of the Regulus property on the west branch of the
Humber River adjacent to Albion Road.
Perhaps the most important aspect of the Authority's work is the
administration of its regulations: during 1976, - the Planning and
Policy Division reviewed: 2,300 Committee of Adjustment
applications, 600 Ontario Municipal Board applications, 425 zoning
amendment applications and 325 draft plans of subdivision. In
-
A-20
Report to 21st Meeting MTRCA - Page 7
addition, 350 building permit applications were processed. With
.
respect to the enforcement of Ontario Regulation 735/73 for Fill,
Construction and Alteration to Waterways, approximately 500
infraction notices were mailed and about 99% of these were
rectified to the Authority's satisfaction. One of the more sig-
nificant achievements in 1976 was the successful prosecution of
a property owner who continued to place fill within the Authority's
regulated area without a permit.
The Authority embarked on a series of important reviews and studies
in 1976 which will lead the way towards the formulation of a new
Flood Control Plan. The first step in this process was new mapping
and, during 1976, a contract was let for the supply of metric
mapping for the Etobicoke and Mimico Creeks. This will be followed
by an extensive mathematical model study of the watersheds to help
in determining an optimum flood control system. To assist in the
assessment of the system, the Authority initiated an environmental
monitoring program of its existing structures to gain an insight
into the effects of flood control works of various types on the
valley environment. The assistance of the Ministry of Natural
Resources has been of considerable assistance in advancing all of
these studies.
1976 began the process for upgrading the Authority's Flood Warning
System in order to meet the new requirements of the Ministry of
Natural Resources which is the ~ead ~linistry for Forest Fire and
Flood emergencies. The first step was the acquisition of a suit-
able radio system so that communication can continue in the event
that the phones are out of use. It will also be used in day-to-
day regulation enforcement. Also, meetings were initiated with
the emergency co-ordinators in the Authority's four regions in
order to update their flood contingency planning.
The Authority's Downstream Erosion Control Project continued
making excellent progress in 1976, its third year of implement-
ation. Erosion control works fronting 26 buildings were
completed, the major sites being:
Lakeland Drive on the West Humber
Yvonne Elementary School on. the Black Creek
Grovetree Road on the Nest Humber
Portico Drive on the Highland Creek
Sweeney Drive on the Don River
Work is ongoing adjacent to Westleigh Crescent, Three Valleys
Drive and Stonegate Road.
.
A-2l
Report to 21st Meeting MTRCA Page 8
1976 was particularly significant in the east end, when a severe
thunderstorm occurred on August 27th"and 28th. The major impact
of the two storms was on the Highland Creek. The rainfall which
occurred was approximately a 10-15 year event, but the flood was
a 35-40 year event, dramatically indicating the impact of urban-
ization on a watershed. There was approximately $2 million damage,
primarily to erosion control works and park amenities, but the
Authority's flood control program of land acquisition, channel-
ization and erosion control works proved itself in that no lives
were lost and there was little damage to private property.
In the year ahead, most of the Authority's flood control work will
centre on preparing a new Plan which, when completed, will set the
pace for another decade or two.
HISTORICAL SITES ADVISORY BOARD J.A. BRYSON
In 1976 at Black Creek, the annual attendance broke the 300,000
mark for the first time. The exce~lent attendance during the
Christmas program helped greatly. Once again, the pre-
Confederation Christmas theme was popular with radio, television
and newspapers, who provided the Village with much excellent
publicity. .:--::
The increase in the citizenship program from 278 in 1975 to 866 in
1976 was due to the public concern for Black Creek's continuing
financial problems. All branches of the media gave the Village
publicity, and public response was large and very favourable.
Throughout 1976, the Toronto Sun and C.F.R.B., in particular,
have been involved in promoting the Village citizenship program.
On the Victoria Day weekend, John Downing, Sun columnist, and his
. family lived in the Stong Second House. The numerous columns
and photo spreads covering this event gave Black Creek much
publicity. The Sun continued all year to run a picture coupon
inviting people to take out Village citizenship. A September 11th
picnic, sponsored by the Sun newspaper, gave all citizens of the
Village a day of free food and entertainment, and provided an
additional incentive for many to become citizens.
.
A new gift shop, specializing in Canadian crafts, including
Village products, was opened at the Dalziel Barn. The shop
proved most successful during the few weeks that it was open.
.
There is a great deal of construction going on at Black Creek,
with several buildings under way. The Apple Storage Cellar

reconstructed during the summer, was officially opened at the 20th
Annual Pioneer Festival. The Mennonite Meeting" Hall was placed
on its new foundation in mid October. 'rhe Doctor's Home has been
closed in and work is progressing there. The Dominion Carriage
Works needs only finishing touches, and the basement area has been
fitted out as a woodworking shop, ~ith the hope of raising extra
revenue. The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Foundation and Wintario have given the funds to make this capital
development possible.
Through October, a four-lecture series on "Dyeing with Plants",
organized by Mrs. Eustella Langdon, was presented at the Town Hall.
The subscription series raised over $800 for the garden of the
Doctor's Home. .
The office of Honorary Reeve of Black Creek was officially extended
to a two-year term, and the present Reeve, John Bradshaw, has con-
sented to remain in office for another year.
The Dickson Hill School Program enabled over 900 students to attend
school for one week in an 1860's atmosphere and to use the whole
Village as a classroom.
The financing of the Village is continuing to be a source of grave
concern. The operating deficit was $61,865 and,the budget for
1977 allows for a 3.98% increaset which is well below the
anticipated 1977 inflation factor. The Gunsmith Shop and the
Cabinetmaker's Shop will be closed in 1977, and other drastic cuts
will have to be made in order to operate within these constraints.
The Ministry of Culture and Recreation is still supporting the
Village operations with a $12,000 annual grant. Almost every
segment of the population has given solid support for the Village
and its financial problems. The Authority is grateful to the
hundreds of individuals, associations and corporations who have
given financi?l assistance through the citizenship program or
through direct donations to the Foundation. All of these funds
have been placed in the Black Creek Pioneer Village Growth Endow-
ment Fund, and Village operations will receive $3,500 from this
source in 1977.

INFORMATION & EDUCATION ADVISORY BOARD DR. W.M. TOVEr.r..
The Information and Education Advisory Board of The Metropolitan
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has responsibilities for
the public relations and outdoor and conservation education programs;
most important, it reconwends revisions of these programs from time
to time. The Division also plans for special days and organizes
official functions. Such responsibilities make for busy staff
schedules.
The details of the facts and figures that spell out the success of
the last year are to be found in your agendas. In summary, it
should be emphasized that the Conservation Field Centres and the
educational programs at Black Creek Pioneer Village operated at
.capaci ty . In actual figures, participation was up slightly over
last year. Some 105,600 indivicuals participated in these programs.
On the financial siG~, the net costs of operations came in at
approximately $20,157 under budget, due to: 1) reduced inflation;
2) cost-reducing innovations, and 3) making maximum use of Govern-
ment work programs, such as Ontario Career Action Program.
The Authority policy, passed at the meeting on November 26, 1976,
respecting the planning, development and management of Outdoor and
Conservation Education Programs and the proposals for establishing
co-operative conservation and outdoor education programs for 1977
were sent to the staff of the 13 school boards of educat~on within
the jurisdiction of the Authority. To date, interest in the
proposals has been expressed by the staff of The York County Board
of Education, The Metropolitan Separate School Board and The
Metropolitan Toronto School Boards.
To advertise the work and programs of the Authority, 340,000
brochures were printed and distributed and, in addition, about 195
releases of various kinds, totalling over 100,000 units, were sent
out. We have reason to be indebted to all segments of the media
for the acceptance of our material. A sample of 3,400 press
clippings has been received.
New programs which have produced great dividends in terms of staff
relationships are: the production of the internal newsletter
"Inside Metro Region Conservation", service awards and Town Hall
meetings. Four issues of "Inside Metro Region Conservation" have
been produced and distributed to all Authority members and staff.
The policy of service awards for Authority members and staff was
adopted and is being implemented. Town Hall meetings were
arranged to permit communication between the Chairman, Vice Chai.l:man
and the Secretary-Treasurer and all members of the staff.

It is a pleasure to report that the construction of The Kortright
Centre for Conservation is underway, with completion of the building
about late July or early August. We sincerely appreciate the great
contributions made by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation Foundation and Wintario to make the project possible.
I can also tell you that plans for programs are being developed.
To conclude, ladies and gentlemen, I offer my sincere thanks to my
colleagues on the Information and Education Advisory Board, and a
special thanks to a hard-working and dedicated staff, without whose
effort nothing would have happened.
REFORESTATION & LAND USE ADVISORY BOARD GORDON LOWE
~ The Conservation Services programs continue to maintain a personal
relationship with private landowners within the watershed to aid
the.m in introducing conservation practices on their properties.
These programs, in turn, benefit o~her Authority programs by
reducing soil erosion throughout the watershed. 'J~he Services

programs play an important role in the development of Conservation'
Areas by creating habitat for wildlife and aesthetic plantings for
visitors to the Areas.
The Conservation Services staff visited many private landowners
this year to give advice on the variety of programs, including
pond construction, weed control, tree planting programs, erosion
control and conservation plans. The Farm Tree and Wildlife Shrub
program was in very high demand from private landowners, and this
year, some 12,000 trees and shrubs were planted. The Conservation
Services' oldest program - reforestation - saw 59,000 trees planted
on private lands and 8,000 trees on Authority lands. In addition
to this, Boy Scouts from Mississauga, Vaughan and King, involved
in the Trees for Canada program, planted some 36,000 reforestation
'trees on Authority lands.
The streambank stabi~ization program assisted six private land-
owners in streambank erosion control projects this summer and, in
addition, assisted the City of Mississauga on a project in the
Etobicoke Creek between Dundas and Bloor.
Landscape projects were carried out at Ashbridges Bay.and Bluffers
Park waterfront projects, with th~ Authority tree spade used to
supply large caliper trees for these sites. Five private land-
owners rented the spade this year for moving large trees on their
properties.
This summer, a woodlot management plan was begun for the Land
Management Division. Forestry students carried out surveys and
took inventory of Authority woodlots and plantations to produce
an overall management plan for conservation areas, wildlife areas
and reservoir sites. It is anticipated that this plan will be
completed in 1977.
The water quality monitoring program at the Claireville reservoir
was discontinued in 1976; however, a report on monitoring the
reservoir for 1974 and 1975 was received from Enviroclean Limited.
Monitoring on the reservoir was begun in 1970, and further studies
will be carried out every three to five years.
"Operation Doorstep Angling", a co-operative fish management
project between this Authority and the Ministry of Natural
Resources, was completed at the end of December. This three-year
study has documented the fishery resource along the Lake Ontario
wat,erfront and in the inland waters under the jurisdiction of the
Authority. The recommendations from the study will be reviewed
during 1977 prior to undertaking improvements as budget monies

become available. A booklet available to the public outlining the
project will be ready for distribution early in 1977.
The water quality improvement project continued at the Heart Lake
Conservation Area in 1976, in co-operation with the Ministry of the
Environment. This project progressed normally until mid-August
when, as a result of the aeration, a major algae bloom die-off
resulted in a fish kill. This accident has been fully documented
by the Ministry of the Environment, and the continuation of the. .
project in 1977 will be carefully monitored in order to prevent a
similar occurrence.
The analysis program at the Lake St. George Conservation Areas,
under the direction of Environment Canada, continued in 1976.
Completion of this project is scheduled for April of 1977.
WATERFRONT ADVISORY BOARD M.J. BREEN
1976 was the final year of the first 5-year Waterfront Project and,
as such, it was a year to complete projects and expenditures under
the first 5-year waterfront project. It was a busy year in terms
of getting the second 5-year Waterfront Project approved; it
involved many tours, presentations and explanations of the
Authority's proposals for the np.xt 5 years.
During 1976, landfilling continued at Humber Bay and Bluffers Park.
At Humber Bay, 9.1 acres were gained, making a total over the 5-
year project, of 75.1 acres. At Bluffers Park, 10.4 acres were
filled in 1976, bringing the total acreage created in the first 5
years to 32.0 acres.
Through the Small.Craft Harbours Assistance Programme, the
Authority received $325,000. worth of armouring to protect the
headlands in Bluffers Phase II.
Active site development occurred at Ashbridge's Bay during 1976
where landscaping, dock walls, pathways, boardwalks, washrooms
and shelters were built. This is the fourth major Waterfront
Area completed during the first 5-year Project, and it will be
officially opened in June of this year. As well as the major
site work, Authority staff and consultants carried out a compre-
hensive monitoring programme as part of its continuing environ-
mental rev~ew process. All in all, $2-3/4 million was spent
this year, bringing the tot~l over five year~ to the $20 million
allocated.
.
A-27
Report to 21st Meeting MTRCA Page 14
A Park Use Survey was carried out during the summer of 1976; t~
purpose was to determine the nature of waterfront use and the
desires of people using the waterfront, particularly those recently
opened. Data from this study, although not completely analysed,
indicates high use and high interest, particularly in those
activities relating to the water, like boating and fishing. This
is certainly evidenced by the heavy use of Bluffers Park after its
official opening in June 1976.
The issue of shoreline management became increasingly important
during 1976, particularly along the Scarborough Bluffs. The
approval of the second 5-year Project will be a great stimulus for
progress in this key aspect of Authority responsibility. There has
been keen interest in this programme at all levels, all of which
are anxious to see the Authority involved more dramatically.
One of the important aspects of the Authority's waterfront work
which was continued was liaison with the local and regional
municipal;.ties regarding land use adjacent to the waterfront.
These efforts are directed at stimulating attractive development
which is cognizant of its waterfront location, and which will not
cut off the. lake for future users. Generally speaking, these
efforts have been successful and new developments are being built
responsibly, taking into account their prime location.
~~
During 1976, the Authority completed a duty assigned by the
provincial Government; the preparation of Master Plan for Aquatic
Park. This Master Plan was reviewed by both the City of Toronto
and The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Toronto
Harbour Commissioners, and was found to be suitable in most respects.
After formal approval by these agencies, it will be submitted to the
Province of Ontario for their formal consideration.
. It has been a successful first 5 years, but a lot remains to be done:
the completion of major site development at Humber Bay, the Western
Beaches and Bluffers Park; a continued acquisition programme; the
implementation of shoreline management and the resolution of the
Frenchman Bay problem; all are important items which remain to be
tackled in the years ahead.
.
"POLLUTION" has become an everyday word in our vocabulary. This .
is rightly so and, a~ conservationists, we should be very conscious
.
A-28 I
Report to 21st Meeting M'fnCA Page 15
of protecting our natural resources in all forms..
Everyone has to be concerned about conservation. All of us,
simply by being present on this earth, are responsible for some
degree of pOllution. Those who carelessly toss a can or bottle
from a car; poach fish out of season; dump garbage in a river
or lake, are collectively changing the natural surroundings in a.
detrimental manner.
There is no way that human beings can survive without the rest of
nature. Thus it follows that the planning and protection of our
environment will indicate the path of our own destiny.

THE EXECUTIVE COMt-1ITTEE SUBMITS FOR THE INFORMATION OF THE AUTHORITY
THE FOLLOWING ACTION TAKEN ON ITEHS ADOPTED BY THE EXECUTIVE
CO~ITTEE AT EXECUTIVE MEETING #20/76 HELD ON WEDNESDAY,
DECEMBER 15, 1976:
2. HEARING
Followi~g the Roll Call, the Me~ting recessed to hold a
Hearing re:
APPLICATION FOR PERfvlIT UNDER O.R. 735/73
UNITED JEWISH WELFARE FUND OF TORONTO
Mrs. P. Knox recorded the proceedings of the Hearing.
The Heeting resumed.
3. DECISION OF HEARING
RE APPLICATION FOR PERMIT UNDER O.R. 735/73
UNITED JEWISH WELFARE FUND OF TORONTO
This Executive Committee confirmed the decision of the Hearing
held this 15th day of December, 1976; and
The applicaton of the United Jewish Welfare Fund of Toronto
for a permit to construct an institutional building and
parking facilities on the flood plain of the Don River,
being Part of Lot 17, Concession IIW, Borough of North,
be refused for the following reasons:
(a) The subject site lies within the area which was
flooded during Hurricane Ilazel - 19S4, as defined
on Authority Flood Line Map Sheet #5W of the Don
River, which forms part of the Schedule to Ontario
Regulation 735/73;
.
A-36 - 2 --
.
(b) The policy adopted by the ~uthority under the Pl~n
for Flood Control and Water Conserv~tion recognizes
that the construction of control works cannot be
considered to have the effect of eliminating flooding
and thereby releasing flood plain land for develop-
ment purposes;
(c) Under the maximum probable flood, the G. Ross Lord
Dam would be required to pass the full flow of the
watershed above the dam and would, under those
extreme conditions, have limited effect as a flood
control structure. In order to safeguard downstream
communities and human life, which would be in jeopardy
if the dam failed, the spillway of the G. Ross Lord
Dam is designed to pass the maximum probable flood.
Conditions similar to this flood would be created
if the full reservoir had to be lowered rapidly
as the result of an impending severe storm, or if
the dam could not be operated;
(d) The channel constructed on the subject property,
under conditions in excess of the design flood, could
fa il. If the channel were overtopped, it would fail,
with resultant flooding and erosion of the adjacent
flood plain.

21. HIGJILl\ND CRBEK FLOOD.ll!Q
At Meeting #13/76, the Executive Committee authorized the
preparation of a report on the Highland Creek flooding as a
result of tl1e storms of August 27 and 28, 1976. 'l'his study
is now complete and a summary was presented for information.
The staff communication on the Highland Creek flooding of
August 27 and 28, 1976 was received; and the Recommendations
cont~ined therein, as amended and set forth herein, were
approved:
1. ~iAT staff be directed to review the design standards for:
( a) future channelization and erosion control works
(b) repairs to existing works; and
(c) other structures, such as footbridges, taking into account:
(i) the flows for different frequency floods which are
likely to occur on the Highland Creek now and in the
future as urbanization continues;
(ii) the cost efficiency of greater protection as it relates
to capital construction cost and maintenance and repair
costs;
2. THAT all streamflm'l gauges ir. the area of jurisdiction of
the Authority be inspected to determine the potential for
blockage and further that the staff be directed to correct
any apparent problems;
3. THAT in areas where there is sufficient public land to
allow flexibility in locating park structures such as
bicycle and footpaths; care should be taken so that:
(i) the structures are not located adjacent to eroding
river banks or in areas where erosion could occur,
i.e. the outside of bends;
(ii) the structures follow high ground, not necessarily
remote from the channel, but in areas where they will
not be affected by high velocity flows during an
overbank flood event;
4. THAT local and Metropolitan Parks departments, as well as
golf courses in the area under the jurisdiction of the
Authority, be advised that care should be taken in the
location and design of pedestrian footbridges. The design
of footbridges should consider materials sturdy enough to
resist lateral pressures from flood water and debris;
should be designed to minimize debris build-up, and also
to prevent the bridge structure from being carried away
with the flood waters magnifying the problems downstream;
and further
THAT Parks Departments and Golf Courses be encouraged to
consider other forms of bridging, such as fords, which pass
low flows through small culverts or other openings yet
offer no resistance to higher flows;
5. THAT Municipal Parks Departments and golf courses in the
area under the jurisdiction of the Authority, obtain the
comments of the Authority with regard to the location and
design of public and privutc park stnlctures, in accord-
ance with the requirements of Ontario Regulation 735/73;
A-84 - 11 -
6. THAT the Authority recognize that while return periods
for given rainfall events should remain constant:
moderate flood events will occur progressively more
freq~ently: and that this fact be carefully considered by the
,Authority in its Flood Control Plan Review and by the
Authority's member municipalities in their respective
storm water management programmes: and further
THAT the serious impact of increased runoff from urban
areas, on river and creek vall~ys which are operating
as extensions of storm sewer systems, be recognized in
the design of future works in the valleys:
7. '!HAT copies of the report on liThe Storms of August 27
and 28, 1976 and Subsequent Flooding on the Highland
Creek" be appended as Schedule "B" of the Minutes of
Executive Meeting #1/77: and further
THAT copies of the report be sent to The Municipality

AuTHORITY PURPOSE, ACHIEVE~ffiNTS & OBJECTIVES
The :.!etropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has adopted a program designed to further the conservation,
restoration, development and management of the natural resources of the 1,339 square miles included in the Authority's
area of jurisdiction. The Authority has identified the region's river valleys, the Lake Ontario shoreline and the
headwater areas of the Oak Ridges interlobate moraine, and the Niagara Escarpment as the major resources to ~hich its
programs are applied.
Established resource management programs include flood control and water conservation, erosion control, waterfront
developr::ent, 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 conservation functions they perform, they are made available to the
cOL~~nity for outdoor and conservation education, recreation and historic site purposes.
Within these comprehensive program guidelines, the Authority has, over the years, reflected the priorities and policies
of the partners, the participating municipalities and the Province of Ontario as expressed through the representative
Authority members. Since 1957, 67% of the Authority's capital and development budget has been devoted to the valley
systems in flood control and water conservation, 18% has been devoted to Lake Ontario Shoreline Management, 14% to
upstream management in conservation areas and reforestation, and 1% to outdoor and conservation education,
I The 1977 Budget Estimates for administration, operations and maintenance, current and capital programs reflect the
emphasis on Flood Control and '~acer Conservation, Waterfront Development and provide for the management of lands and
facilities acquired and developed in connection with this program.
In accordance with Resolution #51, adopted by the full Authority at Meeting #3/76, held on Friday, April 9, 1976:-
"'THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Executive COImIlittee of the M. T. R. C .A. be asked to develop a budget-
ary plan with a view to drastically increasing the proportion of the budget devoted to erosion con-
trol and flood control programs;"
The estimates propose a substantial increase in expenditures for Flood Control and Water Conservation and Erosion
Control.
FOR}~T OF PRESENTATION
The Hinistry of Natural Resources new "Policy J Procedure and Information ~anua1 for Cc;mservation Au~horities" became
effective January 1, 1977. The 1977 Budget Estimates are in accordance w~th the requ~rements of th~s new Manual.
2.
There are now five major types of Provincial grants available through the Mtnistry of Natural Resources to Conservation
Authorities,
1) Administration 4) Special Projects and Programs
2) Water & Related Land Management 5) Supp1eme~tary Grants (not applicable to M.T.R.C.A)
3) Conservation & Recreation Land Management

Expenditures on administration, operations and maintenance and current programs comprise the Authority's general levy
on all participating 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 municipalities.
FDL.\:;CIAL Cmn.IENT
The Province of Ontario has established the following level of funding for the M.T.R.C.A. for the 1977 fiscal year.
1. Administration $ 574,083
2. Water & Related Land Management 2,299,073
3. Conservation & Recreation Land Management 229,081
$ 3,102,237
4. Special Projects (I.Jaterfront) 1,640,000
$ 4,742,237
In 1976, the Province of Ontario provided total grants in the amount of $3,287,500 and the grants for 1977 are there-
fore increased by $1,454,737.
CAPITAL PROGRAHS
Flood Control & Water Conservation and Erosion Control: The estimates reflect the direction of the Authority that
higher priority be given to this aspect of the Authority's conservation program. The estimates reflect an increase
4.
in the level of Provincial support and are based on a level of funding to m~~et the priorities established by the
Authority for Flood Control & Water Conservation and Erosion Control. The Authority will be able to fund its entire
Plan for Flood Control and Water Conservation in 1977, WC-60, the downstream erosion control project, is fully
funded. Additional funds are available for engineering studies and for some additional erosion control measures.
Waterfront Development: The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, in 1976, completed its first
five year Waterfront Project at a cost of $20,000,000. The Authority has adopted the next five year \vaterfront Project,
1977-1981, which proposes a total expenditure of $22,000,000. The Province has allotted $1,640,000 to the Waterfront
Project, which will permit an expenditure in 1977 of $3,280,000, a reduction from the planned expenditure of $4,400,000.
The Hunicipal levy has been adjusted downwards accordingly.
}mnicipal Contributions to Capital Programs: The Municipality of ,Metropolitan Toronto has established capital budget
targets for the M.T.R.C.A. for Flood Control and Water Conservation, Erosion Control and Waterfront Development. The
esti~ates for these prograns contained within this budget are within the targets established by Metropolitan Toronto.
The !1etropolitan Toronto capital budget target for the Authority was $4,000,000. On the basis of allotted provincial
grants, Metropolitan Toronto funds required for capital purposes in 1977 will be $3,077,714.
The other member municipalities share of capital projects have corresponding reductions.
THE 1977 LEVY
The apportionment of the 1977 r1unicipal Levies is the 1975 assessmen~ data for 1976 taxation purposes, as supplied by
the Province of Ontario.
In accordance with the policy adopted by the Authority, the Regional Municipalities of Durham, Peel and York have been
levied an amount equal to 100% of the 1976 taxes paid by the Authority for revenue producing conservation areas within
those municipalities. Within Metropolitan Toronto, Authority lands are not subject to taxation.
BASIS OF PROVINCIAL FUNDING
AND REQUESTS FOR GRANT
The Province of Ontario has recognized that Conservation Authorities have traditionally been compelled to adopt a pro-
ject approach in meeting their objectives. This has resulted in fluctuations in the funding provided to individual
Authorities from year to year which have limited Authorities' ability to develop and implement long-term programs. )II
I
}~nagement Board have therefore granted permission, commencing in 1977:- \C
w
a) To establish base level funding in individual authorities covering all normal on-going programs including
Administration, Conservation Areas, Conservation Services and Sundry Capital, Dam Operation and Maintenance,
and Provincial Water Control. In this, the Board guaranteed the provincial base for the authorities program
from year to year,
5.
b) To establish multi-year funding to deal with special policy areas of the Province, such as the Lake Ontario ~
I
Waterfront, and major water and related land management of recreational projects whose peak annual cost during ~
~
implementation would exceed the capital base level funding of the Authority in question.
c) To not fund special projects within established base level programs, but instead to deal with them on a
priority basis during the multi-year expenditure forecast process.
d) To secure Board sanction of projects involving grants exceeding $100,000 as an approved component of the annual
budget, rather than on an individual basis as M.A. requests are received from the Authorities through the year.
Authorities may thus expect, subject to the general availability of money from year to year and inflationary allow-
ances, a uniform cash flow by program. This will allow them to convert to a system of program manage~ent.
~linister's Approvals and Cash Flow Allocations: M.A. 's have previously been used for the purposes of policy and
technical approval and for annual funding control of individual projects. The M.A. has normally been issued under
two sections of the Act. Section (39) authorizing the level of grant which cannot be exceeded. Section (23) pro-
viding policy and technical authorization, but only items noted in the project or plan being approved as eligible
expenditures.
Beginning in 1977, therefore:-
1) Annual Funding M.A.: Authorities will be issued a single funding M.A. (i.e. Section 39) including supplemen-
tary grants, for both base level funds in the administration, water and related land management and conserva-
tion and recreation programs and for special project funds. This M.A. will be issued by January 15th and will
replace the current notification of funding for the forthcoming year. At the same time, authorities will be
provided by the Regional Office of the Ministry of Natural Resources with an approved list of projects, also
developed through the budget review process, to which this funding applies.
2) When a project has been adopted by an Authority, a request for approval
The Conservation Authorities Act must be submitted to the
a prerequisite). Once obtained, this approval provides approval
provincial funding for that project.
3) Relationship with the Multi-Year Forecast: Generally speaking, authorities may secure technical approvals of
the1r progFams and projects up to several years in advance of scheduled implementation. With a known uniform
cash flow, emphasis can be placed on scheduling absolute priorities among programs and on getting the greatest
output from available cash flow. The multi-year forecast thereiore becomes a proposed schedule based on tech-
nically approved programs and projects.

PURPOSE: The conservation and management of lands under the jurisdiction of the Authority and
the provision of outdoor recreation opportunities.
1977 OBJECTIVES: _ the management and operation of 17,000 acres of Authority lands including 14 conserva-
tion areas, which will provide 1.3 million user days of recreation.
- Due to budget l'imitations, the 1977 estimates do not provide for the same level of
maintenance of service as 1976. This reflects adjustments in Authority priorities.
Selective use and management of Authority lands is required to maximize use and
minimize costs.
- to provide self-supporting visitor services.
FUNDING: Program revenues and the General Levy on all participating municipalities. No Provincial
grant is available for this program.
FINANCIAL CO}~lliNTS: In 1976, budgetted revenues were not met because of substantially below normal weather
conditions. In 1977, projected program revenues have been estimated to be the same as
1976, which were based on an average of three previous years.

FINANCIAL COMMENTS: Revenues for the Black Creek Pioneer Village in 1976 were insufficient to meet operating
costs. The 1977 estimates allow for operating expenditures to be increased by approx-
imately 3.96%, which is well below the anticipated 1977 inflation factor. In order
to operate with this increase, it will be necessary to close the Gunsmith Shop, the
Cabinetmaker's Shop and keep maintenance to a minimum. It is anticipated that revenue
will increase with the return of more American tourists, There is no'provision to open
the Dominion Carriage Works. The village lure brochure and guide brochure, at an esti-
mated cost of $6,000, will be charged to this budget for the first time.
Program revenue is largely determined by weather conditions and expenditures will be
closely monitored so that any shortfall in revenue can be balanced by further cutbacks
in operating costs.

3. REPORT #2/77
CONSERVATION AREAS ADVISORY BOARD
Part of Recommendation #2 of Report #2/77 of the Conservation
Areas Advisory Board, as set forth herein, be adopted:
Part of #2
The following Goal, Objectives and Principles for the
Conservation Area Visitor Services Programme be adopted:
Goal
The goal of the Authority in providing recreation
opportunities has been in the past, and will remain,
to provide on lands acquired for conservation
purposes: park, recreational and educational
opportunities where these activities are consistent
with wise land use practices;
The above goal states the general philosophy for
land use within the Conservation Areas. It does
not, however, provide more than limited direction
for the development of these activities. The
definite improvement into a more active and structured
programme in the Conservation Areas demands that
objectives be set, outlining the Authority's
interests;
- 2 - A-252
Objectives
The five objectives for the provision of Visitor
Services in the Conservation Areas are:
(1) To further conservation education and the
appreciation of natural resource management
by encouraging public use of the Conservation
Areas;
(2) To develop programmes designed to encourage
the development of outdoor skills dependent
on the natural resources found in the
Conservation Areas;
(3) To encourage all municipalities to use
conservation lands for their natural resource
based recreation programmes;
(4) To work with other government Ministries
committed to stimulating participation in
outdoor recreation;
(5) To offer a variety of recreational opportunities,
each designed to provide quality experiences in
the out-of-doors;
The implementation of a goal and a set of objectives can
be initiated through the provision of a set of guiding
principles. These principles define the framework for
Authority programmes regarding facilities, costs and
programming;
Principles
The principles of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority for the implementation of
Visitor Services in the Conservation Areas are:
(1) That all Visitor Services should utilize existing
facilities and be sited only in Conservation Areas
where sufficient demand will be generated to pay
the direct costs of the programme within a
reasonable period;
(2) That the direct costs of recreational activities
offered as Visitor Services should be paid for
by the visitor;
(3) That all development of Visitor Services (involving
recreational activities) be designed to complement
and augment municipal and private programmes and
in no way be designed in direct competition with
their programmes;
(4) That a committee be established to advise on
programmed Visitor Services of Conservation Areas.
The membership of this committee would include
representatives from municipalities and agencies
interested in using these areas;
(5) That all recreational instruction be designed to
offer the visitor outdoor skills, enabling himlher
to make additional use of the Conservation Areas;
(6) That all Visitor Services be designed to increase
the appreciation and understanding of natural
resource management.

The opinion received from the legal firm of Gardiner, Roberts
concerning the signing of Auditor's Financial Statement by
Clarkson, Gordon & Co., which reads:
"Thank you for your letter of July 4th, 1977. Clarkson,
Gordon & Co. is a partnerShip carrying on business as
chartered accountants.
In our opinion the signing of the annual auditor's
financial statement is an act relating to the business
of the partnership. Such an act, relating to the
business of a partnerShip and done in the partnership
name by any person authorized to do it, is binding on
the firm and all partners.
A- 302 - 11 -
If the financial statement were signed by an individual
member of the partnership, it would have the same
binding effect on the partnership as a whole but there
would be a possibility, however remote, that the
individual partner intended to convey that his signature
was only on his own behalf and not intended to bind the
partnership. As a result, the auditors have the practice
of signing the statement in the name of the firm rather
than in the name of an individual partner thereof."
- was received and is to be forwarded for information to
the Authority Meeting scheduled for Friday, October 7,
1977: and
Copy of the communication, containing the legal opinion
is to be forwarded to Mr. A.H. Cowling.

SUBMISSION TO THE GOVERNMENT OF ONTARIO
CONCERNING THE REPORT OF THE BOYAL COMMISSION ON
METROPOLITAN TORONTO
THE METROPOLITAN TOBONTO
AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
SUMMARY
The Commission's Recommendations
The essence of the recommendations made by the Commission
which are relevant to the Authority are:
1. The responsibilities of the Authority be confined to flood
control and water conservation.
2. Development and management responsibility for Authority-owned
lands with parks potential be transferred to the regional
(Peel, York and Durham) and Metropolitan municipalities in
which they are situated.
3. All Authority-owned lands with recreation potential be developed
and managed by the regional or Metropolitan governments;
capital improvements and further acquisition of recreation
areas continue to be eligible for provincial financial support.
4. The Toronto Region Coordinating Agency (to be established)
coordinate the development of an open-space policy for the
Toronto region.
Special Purpose Bodies
One of the basic principles underlying the Commission's
thinking and approach is th, desirability of local government functions
I
A-341
(ii)
being the responsibility of municipal councils, and its dislike of
special purpose bodies on grounds of complexity, fragmentation of
responsibility, fmpedtment to financial planning and control, and
tendency to narrowly pursue their own mandate.
The Authority recognizes in its submission that its
operations as a special purpose body do indeed lead to complex relation-
ships, as befits a multi-component programme of an interregional nature.
However, the Authority's practice has not led to fragmentation of
decision-making and lack of control; member municipalities, through
their representatives, take a very active role in all aspects of the
Authority's activities and it in turn works closely with their technical
departments in programme implementation. The Authority does not believe
that the general position of the Commission regarding special purpose
bodies is relevant to its operations and practices, given their nature.
Conservation and Conservation Activities
The nature and content of conservation activities requires
a multi-use, multi-purpose approach which recognizes the need for a
comprehensive, interrelated conservation programme for natural resources
within watershed areas of jurisdiction. It is inappropriate to attempt
to segregate conceptually an individual use, such as recreation, from
all other uses. Going beyond this, it would be most cumbersome and
difficult in practice to have several agencies responsible for several
different aspects of a site's uses that derive from its characteristics.
Moreover, changing circumstances require adaptation in conservation
activities, and this reinforces the desirability of a conservation
A-342
(iii)
authority having broad jurisdiction. Ontario has created this situation,
wisely, and is a leader when viewed from other jurisdictions. I t would
be retrograde to imperil this achievement.
Open Space
The Authority agrees with the Commission's view that there
is need for an interregional approach to open space policy in the Toronto
region, and welcomes the recognition that in the 1950s and 1960s in
relation to Metropolitan Toronto it performed the classic role of a
special purpose body - to protect and insulate a function from the
encroachment of other priorities and to nurture its expansion.
The Authority believes that similar problems and similar
needs exist now in the regional municipalities surrounding Metro.
Individ~l regional municipalities will have competing, legitimate needs
and limited financial bases. They will place their own priorities on
open space and on recreation development. The essential point is that
if there is no external body like the Authority whose coverage transcends
political boundaries, the priorities will be different from what they
otherwise would be and this could be injurious, as it would have been in
the past.
The matter is not one of the superiority of local versus
external decision-making, or conversely. The question is whether there
is need for a locally controlled resource management advocacy body
working with municipalities on a comprehensive conservation programme
within watershed areas of jurisdiction. The Authority believes that the
answer is in the affirmative. It has been functioning thus since it was
established, and now the province looks to the Authority on open-space
-
A-343
(iv)
matters within its area of jurisdiction. In respect of open space and
conservation practices generally, the Authority believes that it has a
legitimate role as a special purpose agency, advocating conservation
policies and programmes with an interregional perspective as provided
for in The Conservation Authorities Act, and it proposes to continue in
that manner.
The Authority's Recommendations
The Authority has developed in this submission its view
that:
- it is appropriate that there be a special purpose body for
conservation matters.
- it is necessary to recognize that conservation matters are of a
multi-use, multi-purpose nature.
- it is therefore improper (and impractical) to try to separate
responsibilities according to use.
- it is desirable to involve advocacy bodies in policies and
programmes for regional open space.
The Authority therefore disagrees with both the thrust
and the content of the Commission's recommendations that directly relate
to the Authority (14.3, 14.4, 20.2). It does not disagree with other
relevant recommendations regarding the Toronto Region Coordinating
Agency (8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 11.16) and is available to act in an advisory
capacity regarding open space matters to such an agency, if established.
This general position of the Authority should not be
taken as satisfaction with the status quo nor resistance to change. On
the contrary the Authority recognizes the continuing need for adjustments
in working relationships and considers that the mechanisms for flexibility
exist within The Conservation Authorities Act.

Specifically the Authority recommends:
1. THAT TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEES BE FORMED TO COORDINATE THE
WORKS OF THE AUTHORITY WITH THOSE OF ITS PARTICIPATING MUNICI-
PALITIES, AND THAT THESE BE SIMILAR TO METROPOLITAN TORONTO'S
TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON PABKS AND CONSERVATION.
2. THAT THE AUTHORITY WORK WITH EACH MUNICIPALITY, THROUGH THESE
TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEES, TO RECOMMEND PRIORITIES FOR
FURTHER DEVELOPMENT, TO REVIEW DESIRABLE CHANGES IN PRACTICES
AND PROCEDURES, AND TO CONSIDER FURTHER TRANSFER OF SUITABLE
AUTHORITY LANDS WHERE MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY EXISTS AND WHERE
THE LOCATION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SITE PERMIT.
3. THAT PROVINCIAL FINANCING FOR PARKLAND ACQUISITION AND RECREATIONAL
. AREA DEVELOPMENT BE EXTENDED TO THE METROPOLITAN AND REGIONAL
MUNICIPALITIES.
4. THAT THE AUTHORITY CONTINUE ITS PROGRAMME OF INFORMATION, EDUCATION
AND HISTORIC SITES, ADAPTING THE COMPONENTS TO CHANGING CIRCUMSTANCES
AND WORKING IN CLOSE COOPERATION WITH ALL PARTICIPATING BODIES.
5. THAT THE AUTHORITY CONTINUE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTROL,
DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF WATERFRONT LANDS.
6. THAT THE AUTHORITY CONTINUE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTROL,
DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF THE PETTICOAT, DUFFIN AND CARRUTHERS
CREEKS.

SUBMISSION TO THE GOVERNMENT OF ONTARIO
CONCERNING THE REPORT OF THE ROYAL COMMISSION ON
METROPOLITAN TORONTO
1. INTRODUCTION
The Report of the Royal Commission on Metropolitan
Toronto has made a number of recommendations relating to the role and
responsibility of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority.
Directly relevant recommendations are:
"14.3 The responsibilities of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority be confined to flood control and water
conservation; the development and management responsibility for
lands with parks potential acquired by the Authority, including
waterfront lands, be transferred to the regional and Metropolitan
municipalities in which they are situated; and land acquisition,
development and management for regional parks be carried out as
proposed in Recommendation 20.2.
14.4 Subject to Recommendation 14.3, flood control and water
conservation on the Petticoat, Duffin and Carruthers Creeks be
undertaken by the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority.
20.2 All lands with recreation potential acquired by The Metro-
politan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority for water manage-
ment purposes, including existing conservation areas and waterfront
lands, be developed and managed by the regional or Metropolitan
governments in which they are situated: capital improvements and
further acquisitions of recreation areas continue to be eligible
for provincial financial support; and the Toronto Region Coordinating
Agency be the forum for developing an open-space policy and program
of regional recreational land acquisition for the Toronto region."
Other relevant recommendations are:
8.1 A Toronto Region Coordinating Agency be created by provincial
legislation, with responsibility for facilitating the planning and
development of the Toronto region and for providing such services
and advice to the regional municipalities and the province as may
be delegated to it by its participating governments.
8.2 Membership in the Toronto Region Coordinating Agency consist
of representatives chosen by the councils of the regional munici-
palities in the Toronto region and Metropolitan Toronto, and the
provincial minister designated with responsibility for the Toronto
region.
A-346
- 2 -
8.3 The Toronto Region Coordinating Agency be empowered to examine
and comment on the budgets and plans of the existing operating
bodies of a regional nature, the Toronto Area Transit Operating
Authority and the conservation authorities.
11.16 The Toronto Region Coordinating Agency be the forum for
coordinating the planning policies of provincial and municipal
governments as they affect the development of the Toronto region."
By letter of July 11, 1977, the Bon. Darcy McKeough,
Treasurer of Ontario, requested the Authority to comment on the report
and recommendations by October 31, 1977. The Authority's comments are
presented under four headings:
- Special Purpose Bodies
- Conservation and Conservation Authorities
- Open Space
- Recommendations of the Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority.

2. SPECIAL PURPOSE BODIES
2.1 The Commission Position
One of the basic principles underlying the Commission's
approach and thinking, which is evident throughout its report and in its
recommendations, is the desirability of local government functions being
the responsibility of municipal councils.
Accordingly it recommended (Recommendation 6.4) that the
statutory provisions for all special purpose bodies now operating within
Metropolitan Toronto and its constituent municipalities (with the
exception of boards of education) be removed and the authority of these
bodies assigned to their respect'ive councils. The Commission prefaced
this recommendation with the comment that municipalities should be free
to provide a local service through a department of local government if
they so choose; or through a separate, specific organizational unit - a
special ?urpose body - if this is their preference (p. 106).
This was a general philisophical position of the Commission
which can receive wide support and agreement in principle. The Commission
mentioned several specific aspects rel~ting to special purpose bodies
which underlay its general position:
(p.28)... The Commission is convinced that special purpose
bodies contribute significantly to the unnecessary complexity of
local government, obscuring as they do the locus of decision-making
and responsibility for many local affairs.
(p. 98)... In an urban environment already complicated and complex,
Cintegration of mutually interdependent public responsibilities:]
is inevitably impeded if the responsibility for these functions is
fragmented between a general purpose municipal council on the one
hand, and many special purpose authorities on the other.
A-348
- 4 -
(p. 99)... In addition, the multiplicity of special purpose
bodies at the local level is a substantial tmpediment to rational
financial planning and control in local government.
(p.131)... Government by special purpose bodies brings with it many
inherent problems, not the least of which is the propensity of such
bodies to plan activities with only their own mandate in mind.
~~e many or fhese oDservations arose from flie CommissionTs
consideration of special purpose bodies within one regional jurisdiction
(Metropolitan Toronto), its basic attitude regarding special purpose
bodies evidently was of major importance in the recommendations it
arrived at regarding The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority, which has an interregional function. The essence of these
~
is:
1. The responsibilities of the Authority be confined to flood control
~nd water conservation.
2. Development and management responsibility for Authority-owned
lands with parks potential be transferred to the regional
(Peel, York and Durham) and Metropolitan municipalities in
which they are situated.
3. All Authority-owned lands with recreation potential be developed
and managed by the regional or Metropolitan governments;
capital improvements and further acquisition of recreation
areas continue to be eligible for provincial financial support.
The Commission concluded that recreation and parks should
be a local (regional) responsibility, but that it is necessary to retain
the Authority as a special purpose body with respect to flood control
and conservation.

The Authority considers that this finding, emerging from
these considerations, does not take account of the full circumstances
regarding conservation authorities such as The Metropolitan Toronto
and Region Conservation Authority. These circumstances are presented in
this submission, following initial comments on the Authority's existing
situation and practices as a special purpose body.
2.2 The Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority in Practice
To describe briefly the situation of the Authority, its
objects are as defined in the Conservation Authorities Act:
"To establish and undertake in the area over which it has juris-
diction, a programme designed to further the conservation,
restoration, development and management of natural resources other
than gas, oil, coal and minerals."
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
has, since 1957, developed an overall programme of renewable natural
resource management in order to tmplement the broad mandate defined
within the Act. Flood control and water conservation is a major element
of the total programme, including flood plain acquisition and management,
water control projects, erosion control, and forest management. Associated
with this is the second main element of the programme - development and
management of conservation lands and provision of a wide spectrum of
environmentally related outdoor activities and experiences connected
with preservation, research, recreation and education.
Accordingly, besides a number of specific activities for
water conservation and flood control, the Authority carries out several
other programme components including:
A-350
- 6 -
- Conservation Areas land acquisition and development (including
conservation, wildlife, forestry, agriculture and recreation
programmes)
- Waterfront projects in the waterfront area of Metropolitan
Toronto
- Information and Education Programmes.
In all of these (in the same manner as in its water
conservation and flood control programmes) the Authority endeavours to
act in a fully representative and responsive way toward its constituent
members, while bringing to bear an overview deriving from the breadth of
its functions and their interregional nature.
At present fifty-one appointed members form the Authority:
twenty-four from Metropolitan Toronto; twenty-four from the other area
members (the regional municipalities of Peel, York and Durham, and the
townships of Adja1a and Mono); and three representing the Province of
Ontario.
As the Royal Commission notes (p. 262):
The projects that comprise the programme of the Authority may
originate with the Authority itself, one of the participating
municipalities, or the province. Once the Authority adopts a
project, it seeks the approval of the member municipalities, the
province, the Ministry of Natural Resources and, if multi-year
financing is required, the Ontario Municipal Board.
This process of close cooperation and consultation for
projects reflects the overall budgetary process of the Authority vis-a-
vis the province, which participates in the decision as to what is to be
granted, authorizes overall funding for the year, and approves specific
project expenditures.
Within the components accompanying water conservation and
flood control, there is continuing close contact and involvement with
member municipalities. Thus for recreation as an element of the Authority's
A-351
- 7 -
conservation programme, the Authority works closely with the regional
municipalities as they prepare their official plans and has the opportunity
to provide input as regards its own proposed developments and to coordinate
these with regional wishes and efforts. Within Metropolitan Toronto,
the Authority has negotiated the management of its lands (6,135 acres)
by the Metropolitan Parks Department. In the regional municipalities,
this same technique has been used where suitable lands are available and
the local municipality is able to undertake the responsibilities, and
603 acres have so far been transferred; no such action has yet been
possible with regional municipalities as there are no regional parks
departments.
Regarding the waterfront'component of the Authority's
programme, this derived from recommendations by a special committee of
Metropolitan Toronto and the Province, and took into consideration the
many ju~isdictions along the Lake Ontario waterfront. This investi-
gation concluded that the Authority's legislation, means of financing,
and resource management experience suited it for the role of tmplementing
agency for the Waterfront Plan, and the Authority has been acting in
this capacity since 1970, in close consultation with relevant juris-
dictions.
The Information and Education component of the Authority's
programme illustrates, again, the function of the Authority as a special
purpose body and its success in working well with constituent interests.
Elements include conservation education centres, outdoor education and
natural sciences programmes, nature hikes, historic sites and heritage
conservation. The conservation education programme has developed
A-352
- 8 -
over many years of experimenting and learning, and today exists as a
cooperative venture among boards of education, universities, ministries
of the government, the Authority, and The Metropolitan Toronto and
Region Conservation Foundation. The efforts of the Foundation, dating
from its initiation in 1961, have been particularly valuable in fostering
widespread support for conservation in the community and in stimulating
activities in historic sites and conservation education. The funds
raised by the Foundation, together with gifts and bequests of land by
private citizens via the Ontario Heritage Foundation, have been of very
great' value to the Authority in its work.
The Authority's operations as a special purpose body do
indeed lead to complex relationships, as befits a multi-component
programme,of an interregional nature. However the Authority's practice
has not led to fragmentation of decision-making and lack of control;
member municipalities, through their representatives, take a very active
role in all aspects of the Authority's activities and it in turn works
closely with their technical departments in programme implementation.
The Authority does not believe that the general position of the Commission
regarding special purpose bodies is relevant to its operations and
practices, given their nature.
Moreover, under The Conservation Authorities Act the
initiative is with municipalities to request that a conservation authority
be established; this is consistent with the freedom of choice that the
Commission desired for them when considering how a service might be
provided. Once established, however, it is necessary that there be some
A-353
- 9 -
degree of permanency by statute, so that the ongoing planning and operations
of a special purpose body that is interregional in its functions can
proceed satisfactorily.
One other comment of the Commission needs to be addressed:
that distortion in priorities and decision making can result from
parkland acquisitions and recreation area developments by the Authority
being subsidized by provincial grant whereas similar activities by a
regional government are paid for fully from the local tax base (page
268). This was one factor underlying the Commission's recommendation to
transfer all park and recreational responsibilities to regional munici-
palities and extend the eligibility for provincial financial support to
them. The Authority is not convinced that the availability of provincial
funding to it and not to municipalities did, in fact, have the significance
that the Commission believed. In any event, the Authority concurs in
the recommendation of the Commission to extend provincial financing for
parkland acquisition and recreational area development to regional
municipalities.
The Commission has recognized, in its recommendations
regarding the Toronto Area Transit Operating Authority, the continued
need for a special purpose body with an interregional coverage. There
is a similar need regarding The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority, recognized by the Commission with respect to water conservation
and flood control and - in the Authority's view - necessary also with
respect to the other components of its programme because of their inter-
related nature.
It is to consideration of these that we now turn.

3. CONSERVATION AND CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES
3.1 Multi-use, Multi-purpose Approach
The interrelatedness and complexity of matters to do with
conservation is illustrated by the power given a Conservation Authorit~
in Ontario by Section 20 of The Conservation Authorities Act in order to
accomplish its objects. Included are: responsibilities to conduct
studies within its area of jurisdiction; to acquire land; to enter into
agreements for the use of private lands; to build flood control structures;
to alter a watercourse; to use Authority lands for any purpose, including
recreation, not inconsistent with its objects; to establish agreements
with ministries, agencies, municipalities, boards and other organizations; to
plant and produce trees; to have research done; and any other activities
necessary to carry out an Authority project.
Regarding the activities of Conservation Authorities as
a whole in Ontario, a recent report commented:.
Conservation authorities pursue integrated programs for management
of the water, soil, forest, recreation and wildlife lands of their
watershed. A major share of their attention and financing is,
however, directed towards water. Their water programs include
flood control, low streamflow augmentation, prevention of stream
bank erosion, control and regulation of floodplain lands and river
basin planning. Nearly two-thirds of the more than $100 million
spent by authorities in the last 20 years has been on water or
water-related programs.
While emphasis is on acquisition of land for water conservation,
development of lands for other purposes is also important. The
authorities own over 130,000 acres (53,000 hectares) of conservation
lands of which about 50 percent have been developed for recreation
in more than 120 conservation areas. In addi tion, there are abou t
80,000 acres (32,000 hectares) of forest land managed under agreement
with the Department of Lands and Forests.

the Human Environment.
A-355

This interrelated, multi-purpose use of conservation
lands in Ontario parallels similar developments in the United States.:
Initially, the principal thrust of the Watershed Protection and
Flood Control Act was flood prevention. Protection of valuable
agricultural land, protection of urban property, and reduction of
stream sediment loads were the original purposes of the act. r do
not hesitate to say that had the program been confined solely to
these original purposes, it still would have contributed enormously
to the welfare of areas in which watershed projects have been
constructed.
But times changed and Congress responded. Amendments to the act
authorized a host of other valuable project purposes, including
recreation, municipal and industrial water storage, and enhancement
of fish and wildlife habitat.
The breadth and appropriateness of such conservation
activities has received recognition in many recent official publications,
such as the report of the Select Committee on Conservation Authorities
in 1967, the Ministry of Natural Resources 'Policy, Procedure and
Information Manual for Conservation Authorities' dated 1976, the 1976
Report of the Ottawa-Carleton Review Commission, and the March, 1977
Study by the Niagara Region Study Review Commission.
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
has developed the components of its programme in accordance with this
multi-use, multi-purpose viewpoint, which recognizes the need for a
comprehensive, interrelated conservation programme for natural resources
within the watershed areas of jurisdiction.
This is illustrated by use information for conservation
and resevoir lands, shown in Table 1 and Figure 1 in terms of the
* Strengthening the Small Watershed Program, Bagley, Journal of Soil
and Water Conservation, May-June, 1975.

- (1) In addition to the above. the Authority has acquired 8.432 acres of flood plain. conservation land and waterfront
land. the majority of which lies within Metropolitan Toronto.
(2) All acrealea are .a at April 30. 1977.
A-357
- 12 -
acreages devoted to flood plain control, reforestation, education,
recreation, and agriculture. In these lands, the overall distribution
of use is:
Per Cent
- flood plain control 25%
- reforestation 40
- agriculture 21
- education 4
- recreation 10
100%
Within this average, however, the most significant
feature is the variation in types of uses and quantities of use, for
each land site. This is brought out most clearly by Figure 1, which
shows the wide variation which can occur from site to site. The signi-
ficant point is that it is the characteristics of the site which determine
the mix of uses; each site has to be considered as an entity within
which there is a best balance or combination of uses.
In view of this, and given the interrelatedness of
conservation components, it is inappropriate to attempt to segregate
conceptually an individual use, such as recreation, from all other uses.
Going beyond this, it would be most cumbersome and difficult in practice
to have several agencies responsible for several different aspects of a
site's uses that derive from its characteristics.
3.2 Trend in Programme Components
Another matter of significance is the trend in the
Authority's programme by component, measured in terms of dollars for
A-358
.
- 13 -
broad classes of programme and illustrated in Figure 2. With so~
variation from year-to-year, the overal trend in expenditures for water
conservation and flood control has been upward (although its relative
position has lessened as new programmes have been added). ,
Conservation
areas land acquisition and development, including all ancilliary ele~nts,
has held steady in the last ten years or so, while the waterfront
programme has beco~ a sizeable part of the Authority expenditures since
its inception in 1970. Information and education, though constituting a
small part of the overall total, has increased in importance.
Considering the present situation and outlook for each of
these components in turn, water conservation and flood control programmes
continue to be the single most important component of the Authority's
activity. The Commission was under the impression (page 268) that much
of the flood control and water conservation programme is now completed,
but the contrary is the case. As regards Metro, downstream flood control
works have not all been fully imple~nted and there is a continuing need
for upstream water control and manage~nt to safeguard what has already
been achieved. Beyond Metro, new problems arise as new communities
develop, and necessitate expansion of the Authority's master plan for
flood plain and conservation land acquisitions. The continued urbanization
of the Metro region and the resource manage~nt problems that go along
with urbanization make it essential that water conservation and flood
control be a major activity for the Authority in the foreseeable future.
The recent stabilization (in relative, though not in
dollar, terms) in the conservation areas land acquisition and development
,
-
A-359
- 14 -
component, reflects a number of factors. Fiscal stringency regarding
funding by the province for recreational activities was noted by the
Commission (page 268); this illustrates the responsiveness of and
control over the Authority in financial matters. Also, there is less
need for major expenditures as large areas have now been opened. Further,
attendance at conservation sites has tended to stabilize, partly because
of the increasing availability of outdoor and indoor public and private
recreational opportunities throughout Metro and the Toronto region.
However, there continues to be need for acquisition of additional conser-
vation lands and the potential of existing, undeveloped sites is far
from exhausted; thus this part of the Authority's programme will continue
to be of significance.
The growing importance of waterfront projects since 1970
as a programme component for the Authority demonstrates the breadth of
competence it has built and its ability to apply this in new situations
unforeseen at the time it was set up. Virtually all elements of Authority
expertise are being used in these projects; virtually all elements of
component uses are being realized. This development illustrates graphi-
cally the evolutionary capability of a body such as the Authority and
its role in new conse,rvation applications as circumstances change.
The growth in the information and education component
also shows the usefulness of a broadly-based body capable of extending
traditional conservation practice to new circumstances. As already
noted, a multi-faceted programme has been created by the combined
efforts of the Authority, government departments, municipalities,
,
A-360
- 15 -
school boards and universities. These bodies participate in the programmes
on their own initiative and take a major part in developing all aspects
of them. The programmes are offered 365 days a year and participants
come from across the province. In these endeavours the support and
funds received from The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Foundation and from gifts and bequests of land by private citizens via
the Ontario Heritage FoundaFion have been of great importance; however,
-
such private efforts are likely to be impaired by any separation of the
outdoor and conservation education and historic site programmes from
"
conservation, as was proposed by the Commission in its remarks leading
! "
up to Recommendations 14.3 and 14.4 (page 270). ~'.
The multi-use, multi-purpose nature of the Authority's
activities derive from the characterist~cs of each individual watershed
and site. . It is not feasible or desirable to have an artificial separation
of responsibilities by end-use. Changing circumstances require adaptation
in conservation activities. Both of these confirm the desirability of
a conservation authority having broad jurisdiction. Ontario has created
this situation, wisely, and is a leader when viewed from other juris-
dictions. It would be retrograde to imperil this achievement.

4. OPEN SPACE
The Commission recognized, in its discussion of Open
Space Provision in the Toronto Region (pages 375-377), the necessity for
such open space. Earlier (pages 267 and 268) it had noted the benefits
obtained by Metro residents from the conservation areas developed by the
Authority beyond Metro's boundaries.
The realization of these benefits is indicated by data
from surveys, shown in Table 2 and Figure 3, of usage by origin of
visitors to conservation areas. The data clearly indicate the preponderance
of usage by Metro residents, the overall average being just over 60%.
The Commission, in recognizing the benefits to Metro residents from
these activities of the Authority, commented (page 268):
Thus in the 1950's and 1960's, the Conservation Authority performed
the classic role of a special purpose body; it protected and
insulated a function from the encroachment of other priorities, and
nurtured its expansion at a time when it was crucial to do so.
It seems evident that this role will continue to be of
equal, if not greater, importance in the future. Requirements of Metro
residents for open space will continue to exceed the resources available
within the Metro boundaries. The recent trend to lower density development
within Metropolitan Toronto than was earlier envisaged is accelerating
growth in population beyond Metro's borders, and major urban expansions
are underway in the regional municipalities in the Toronto Region. As
a result, there will be continuing pressures on natural resources for
developmental purposes and a consequent risk - as there was earlier -
that there will be encroachment and losses unless a broad perspective is
taken along with appropriate powers.
A-363
- 17 -
The Commission took a sanguine view of the ability of
local governments to assess and handle conflicting priorities. It
observed (page 106):
Historically, there may have been a stage in the development of
cities in Ontario when municipal councils concentrated on building
the physical infrastructure of the community and neglected to
provide sufficient financing for the necessary "softer" services
such as public health, or what then may have been thought of as
"luxury" services, such as libraries.
There can be no question that these times have long gone in Metro-
politan Toronto.............
and the Commission went on to recommend that statutory provision for
special purpose bodies within Metropolitan Toronto be removed, except
for education.
The Commission's view of Metropolitan Toronto may well
not be relevant to other regional governments, however. These regional
municipalities will have many competing, legitimate needs as they develop.
They will have limited financial bases. They will place their own
priorities on open space and recreation development.
The essential point is that the problems for these
municipalities are the same as those Metro encountered earlier. If there
is no external body as there was in the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's,
protecting and insulating the open space function from the encroachment
of other priorities (which the Commission recognized as desirable), the
priorities will be different from what they otherwise would be. This
would be injurious, as it would have been in the past.
A-364
- 18 -
The question is not one of the superiority of local
versus external decision-making, or conversely. Nor is the problem
resolved by the fact that there are now large regional governments in
the area rather than the twenty-three municipalities which participated
in the Authority when it was initially established; conservation areas
and open space matters are of an interregional nature that transcend
political boundaries.
The question is whether there is need for a locally
controlled resource management advocacy body working with municipalities
on a comprehensive conservation programme within watershed areas of
jurisdiction.
The Authority believes that the answer is in the affirmative.
It has ~een functioning thus since it was established, and now the
province looks to the Authority on open-space matters within its area of
jurisdiction.
The Commission recognized the need for an overall policy
for regional parks in the Toronto Region and noted that there was no
mechanism through which one could be developed (page 375). This led to
its recommendation (in Recommendation 20.2) that the Toronto Region
Coordinating Agency be the forum for developing an open-space policy and
programme of regional recreational land acquisition for the Toronto
region.
Should such an Agency be established, The Metropolitan
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (together with the five
other conservation authorities in the re~ion) would be available for
.~
A-365
- 19 -
for advice and support to the Agency, drawing on its (and their) accumulated
experience and expertise in terms of staff resources. The alternative,
to build up similar resources at the Agency and municipal level would
be a needless duplication.
In respect of open space, then, the Authority believes
that it has a legitimate role as a special purpose agency, advocating
conservation policies and programmes with an interregional perspective,
and it proposes to continue in that manner.
A-366

5. RECOMMENDATIONS BY THE METROPOLITAN
TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
5.1 General
The Authority has developed in this submission its view
that:
- it is appropriate that there be a special purpose body for
conservation matters.
- it is necess_ry to recognize that conservation matters are of a
multi-use, multi-purpose nature
- it is therefore improper (and impractical) to try to separate
responsibilities according to use
- it is desirable to involve advocacy bodies in policies and
programmes for regional open space.
The Authority therefore disagrees with both the thrust
and the content of the Commission's recommendations that directly relate
to the Authority (14.3, 14.4, 20.2). It does not disagree with other
relevant recommendations regarding the Toronto Region Coordinating
Authority (8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 11.16) and is available to act in an advisory
capacity regarding open space matters to such an agency, if established.
This general position of the Authority should not be
taken as satisfaction with the status quo nor resistance to change. On
the contrary the Authority recognizes the need to make appropriate
changes in working relationships and considers that the mechanisms for
flexibility exist within The Conservation Authorities Act. Specifically,
the Authority makes the following comments and recommendations.
,
5.2 Conservation and Recreation
As mentioned earlier, the Authority considers that recreation
use of conservation land is a primary resource use and legitimately a
... -
A-361
- 21 -
concern of conservation authorities. At the same time the Authority
recognizes that the provision of recreation facilities and planainl of
recreation opportunities is a municipal function and, within that
recognition, seeks to work with municipalities in the formulation of
their official plans. It does this in two ways.
Firstly, the Authority provides resource based recreation
opportunities in its system of Conservation Areas as a part of the
resource management activities occurring in these areas. Recreation
occurs side by side with forestry managment, agricultural management,
fish and wildlife management, and conservation learning opportunities.
It is not desirable or feasible that there be three different agencies
(conservation, municipal and education) developing and managing separate
components of these areas, each with its own staff, equipment and
management policies. Development and management of all uses by one body
is clearly preferable.
Secondly, where appropriate, the Authority enters into
agreements with its participating municipalities (and their constituent
municipalities) for the management of flood plain and conservation lands
as municipal recreation areas, as they are required by the municipality,
where management capability exists, and where the location and characteristics
of the site permit. At the present time, 602.8 acres outside Metro are
managed by local municipalities; there are no such agreements with
regional municipalities because they lack parks departments. The main
element within this programme is within Metro, where 6,135 acres are
developed and managed by Metro Parks Department, under agreement with
A-368
- 22 -
the Authority and subject to retention of ownership by the Authority and
its agreement that uses do not impair the flood plain and water conservation
requirements of the sites.
Within Metropolitan Toronto, the Authority participates
in planning for the use of its land through the Technical Advisory
Committee on Parks and Conservation, which reports to the Metropolitan
Parks and Recreation Committee. This group has representation from the
major Metropolitan departments including Parks, Planning, Works and
,
Roads, as well as the Authority. This forum provides an excellent
opportunity to coordinate the various Metropolitan requirements with the
resource management mandate of the Authority and to review changes in
practices and procedures.
The Authority recommends:
,
1. THAT TECHNIAL ADVISORY COMMITTEES BE FORMED TO CO-ORDINATE THE
WORKS OF THE AUTHORITY WITH THOSE OF ITS PARTICIPATING MUNICIPALITIES,
AND THAT THESE BE SIMILAR TO METROPOLITAN TORONTO'S TECHNICAL
ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON PARKS AND CONSERVATION;
2. THAT THE AUTHORITY WORK WITH EACH MUNICIPALITY, THROUGH THESE
TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEES, TO RECOMMEND PRIORITIES FOR
FURTHER DEVELOPMENT, TO REVIEW DESIRABLE CHANGES IN PRACTICES
AND PROCEDURES, AND TO CONSIDER FURTHER TRANSFER OF SUITABLE
AUTHORITY LANDS WHERE MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY EXISTS AND WHERE
THE LOCATION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SITE PERMIT.
3. THAT PROVINCIAL FINANCING FOR PARKLAND ACQUISITION AND RECREATIONAL
AREA DEVELOPMENT BE EXTENDED TO METROPOLITAN AND REGIONAL
MUNICIPALITIES.

5.3 Education and Historic Sites
The breadth and value of the Authority's programmes for
information, education and historic sites was earlier outlined, together
with the importance in these efforts of support and funding by private
efforts through the Foundation and land bequests. The complex, but
satisfactory, working relationships with the numerous jurisdictions
involved was also mentioned.
The use of the Authority's educational facilities and
programmes is interregional in nature, as is indicated by the survey
data on origins of attenders shown in Table 3. As with conservation
areas, the preponderance of visitors from Metro is evident; were the
the Commission's recommendations adopted, Metro - the largest user -
would not have a centre within its boundaries. Notable is the breadth
.
of interest in Black Creek Pioneer Village where a large proportion of
visitors come from outside the immediate area. This reflects the widespread
interest which this historic site has aroused; a brief survey on non-
programmed visitors to the village in June and July of 1976 indicated
that about one-third were from Metro, another third from the rest of
Ontario, and the balance from a wide variety of origins, particularly
the United States, Britain, Europe and the rest of Canada.
The conservation education programme as it exists today
has evolved as a cooperative venture between boards of education,
universities, the provtncia1 government, the Authority and the Foundation,
A-371
- 2.4 -
using conservation lands which have the diversified physical resources
required to carry out such a programme. To split this unified function
among municipalities in which the programme's sites are located, would
result in fragmentation of services and relationships, costly duplication
uf effort, and possible loss of sites for development because of financial
limitations of municipalities.
Instead, the Authority recommends:
. THAT THE AUTHORITY CONTINUE ITS PROGRAMME OF INFORMATION, EDUCATION
~.
AND HISTORIC SITES, ADAPTING rHE COMPONENTS TO CHANGING CIRCUM-
STANCES AND WORKING IN CLOSE COOPERATION WITH ALL PARTICIPATING
BODIES.
5.4 Waterfront Lands
Prior to the Authoritv being designated in 1970 as the
agency to implement the Waterfront Plan, waterfront jurisdiction was
fragmented and ill defined. Following the investigations of a special
committee into the best means of implementing the plan, the Province and
the municipalities chose to exercise their waterfront responsibilities
through the Authorit:- whi(~h had, in its existing legislation, sufficient
jurisdiction, funding power and planning capability to do the job. The
Authority has been able to deal in a comprehensive way with shoreline
management, recreation development and public access.
In ~onsidering the relative roles of the Authority,
Metropolitan Toronto, the Region of Durham, and the Central Lake Ontario
Conservation Authority, ~ith respect to waterfront development, it is
...
necessary to recognize:
A-312
- 25 -
- The physical characteristics of the waterfront are similar to a
watershed in that there is a flow of water (current), movement
of material (erosion and accretion) and, as in the case of a
watershed, no individual part of the waterfront can be properly
considered without a knowledge of the effect on adjacent
areas.
- Designation of the Authority as the implementing agency for
waterfront development recognized the physical characteristics
of the waterfront, need for a conservation approach to develop-
ment, and need for jurisdiction, planning capability and
funding power of the kind possessed by the Authority.
- The Authority has adopted approval procedures which enable all
member municipalities and local municipalities to have a
strong voice in the work that is carried out.
- Decisions in mid-l977 by Metropolitan Council and the Ministry
of Natural Resources regarding inclusion of Aquatic Park
within the Waterfront Plan indicate that the Authority continues
to be regarded as the most suitable agency to carry out waterfront
work.
- The Authority has just embarked on a second 5-year plan for
waterfront development which will not be completed until 1982.
- There has been substantial investment by Metropolitan Toronto
and the Province of Ontario in Waterfront Development in the
Region of Durham.
The Commission recommended that management and development
of waterfront lands be a matter for the regional municipalities in
which they are located, in line with its general position regarding
exercise of responsibilities.
The Authority disagrees with the recommendation for the
general reasons presented earlier and for the particular reasons noted
above. The timing of change would be particularly unfortunate because
of the early stage of the Authority's involvement on the waterfront and
the recent initiation of the second 5-year step in an overall programme.
Accordingly the Authority recommends:
5. THAT THE AUTHORITY CONTINUE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTROL,
DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF WATERFRONT LANDS.
.. ... -- - -. .
A-313
- 26 -
5.5 Petticoat, Duffin and Carruthers Creeks
In recommendations 14.4, the Commission recommended that
flood control and water conservation on the Petticoat, Duffin and
Carruthers Creeks (at the eastern end of the Authority's present area of
jurisdiction) be undertaken by the Central Lake Ontario Conservation
Authority. The reasoniRg behind the Commission's recommendation (p.269)
was that none of these three creeks flows through Metro, flood control
works there do not benefit Metro residents, and Metro residents should
not have to contribute to their cost through The Metropolitan Toronto
and Region Conservation Authority which, under Recommendation 14.3,
would only have flood control and water conservation functions.
As the Commission stated, Recommenda~ion 14.4 was subject
to Recommendation 14.3. The Authority has earlier presented its views
why adoption of Recommendation 14.3 would be ill-advised, given the
nature of flood control and water conservation practices, the inter-
relatedness of watershed uses, and the interregional coverage of a
conservation authority.
Similar circumstances pertain to the particular matter of
the Petticoat, Duffin and Carruthers Creeks. The inclusion of them in
the jurisdiction of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority at the end of the 1950s was a result of fragmented responsibilities
among four prior conservation authorities, varying financial strengths
among municipalities, different degrees of development of conservation
projects, and an intention to have desirable conservation work undertaken
at similar levels throughout the region. This has been accomplished
through the substantial programmes of the Authority in these areas over
the years.
A-314
- 27 -
Deriving from the interrelatedness of uses, the very
extensive recreation, land management and field education work of the
Authority on these watersheds and on their waterfront has been of major
benefit to Metro residents, as the following data on usage shows:
% Origin of Users
Metro Peel York Durham
Claremont 63.4% 0.3% 18.7% 17.6%
Greenwood 61.0 1.4 10.6 27.0
Petticoat Creek 71.0 - 2.3 26.7
Claremont Education
Field Centre 76.8 2.6 16.6 4.0
Leaving aside land used solely for flood control and
water conservation, and considering land with mixed uses, the acreage
acquired on these creeks and and their waterfront has been 3,544 acres.
As the watersheds urbanize, the importance of conservation measures
increases. All three creeks are in the process of development; the
completion of present programmes and the initiation of new ones is an
important priority. Given the smaller financial base of Durham regional
municipality in support of the activities of the Central Lake Ontario
Conservation Authority, the ability of that Authority to finance the
works that are desirable from a long-term interregional perspective "rs
in doubt. In such event worthwhile natural resource features of major
benefit to residents of Metro and in its immediate vicinity would be
lost.
The Authority desires at all times to work closely with
member municipalities in all aspects of its work, including the means by
which costs are shared among them, and will continue to do so as regards
~- .-.-....-... -'.. _.~ "--'-- -.. .-' ---. . - - - -
A-315
- 28 -
the Petticoat, Duffin and Carruthers Cfeeks. In line with its general
view and for the particular reasons mentioned above, the Authority
recommends:
6. THAT THE AUTHORITY CONTINUE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTROL,
DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF THE PETTICOAT, DUFFIN AND
CARRUTHERS CREBlCS.

of the
FINANCE SUB-COMMITTEE
The Finance Sub-Committee met at the Authority Office, 5 Shore ham
Drive, Downsview, Ontario on Friday, September 16, 1911 commencing
at 10:00 a.m.
PRESENT WERE

Mrs. L. Hancey
Authority Chairman R. G. Henderson
Authority Vice-Chairman Mrs. F. Gell
Secretary-Treasurer K. G. Higgs
Director, Planning and Policy Staff W. A. McLean
Administrator, Finance Division A. D. Harris
The following items were discussed:-
1) 1978 Preliminary Budget Estimates:
2) 1978 Fees - Conservation Education Programs:
3) Citizenship and Fees - Black Creek Pioneer Village:
4) Range Fees - Cold Creek Conservation Area:
5) Visitor Services Program - fees:
6) Museum Grant, Ministry of Culture & Recreation, Black Creek
Pioneer Village:
IT WAS AGREED, AND THE SUB-COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS:-
1) 1978 PRELIMINARY BUDGET ESTIMATES
THAT the 1918 Preliminary Budget Estimates, attached to this
report as Appendix 1, be approved as amended.
2) 1918 FEES - CONSERVATION EDUCATION PROGRAMS
THAT the basic fees charged for the conservation education
programs in 1918 be adjusted as follows:
Cold Creek Conservation Field Centre - $5.00 per student
per day
Albion Hills and Claremont Conservation
Field Centres - $451.00 per day
Boyd Conservation Field Centre - $350.00 per day;
and further,
THAT Regulations made under Section 28 of The Conservation
Authorities Act Applicable to Lands owned by The Metropolitan
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority be amended accordingly.
3) CITIZENSHIP AND FEES - BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE
THAT the following fee structure for Black Creek Pioneer
Village for the year 1978 be approved:-
A-393
Report #2/11
Finance Sub-Committee Page #2
Adults $ 3.00
Family Rate 6.00
Group Rate (25 or more adults) 2.50
Church for weddings 125.00
Citizenship - Family 25.00
- Individual 15.00
and further,
THAT Regulations made under Section 28 of The Conservation
Authorities Act Applicable to Lands owned by The Metropolitan
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority be amended accordingly.
4) COLD CREEK CONSERVATION AREA FEE CHANGES
THAT the following fee structure for the Cold Creek Conservation
Area for the year 1978 be approved:-
Electric Trap: $1.00 per person per day, with Authority
birds only being used and sold at a rate of $1.50 per
25, including P.S.T.
Manual Traps: $2.00 per hour per trap, Saturdays and
holidays. $3.00 per hour per trap, Sundays. These
rates to apply during the April 1st to October 31st
season. A maximum of one hour on a trap, with no
more than 5 people per trap would apply. At all
other times, manual traps would be $2.00, with no
time limit, but a maximum of 5 people.
,
The reason for the varying rates in the manual trap
between Sundays and other times is an attempt to
encourage a speed-up in the use of the trap on the
busiest day. Week days and off-season use is limited
and therefore does not warrant a maximum time period.
The number of manual traps is subject to the develop-
ment of an additional electric trap.
Rifle Range: $1.00 per person per day.
Archery Range: 50~ per person per day.
Special Group Permit Fees - Group Season Permits:
Electric Trap - $100.00 per season, plus normal range fees.
Rifle Range - $50.00 per season, plus normal fees.
I
Archery Range -'-$5{0.00 per season, plus normal fees.
For the purpose of defining seasons, April 1st to October
31st would be t~e summer season in which the majority of
the above activity takes place. The winter season would
be November 1st to March 31st. Seasons range permits
would not be available for any group on week-ends or
holidays; the reason being that the ranges for the most
part, particularly during the summer season, are too busy
with individual' shooters to tie up by exclusive use of a
group.
A group se~son permit of $50.00 should also apply on dog
trials, including the Husky group. A $10.00 special event
permit handled in the same fashion as our picnic permits
should also apply. This would cover groups organizing such
things as turkey shoots. In addition to the above suggested
fees, our regular parking charges would apply.

AUTHORITY PURPOSE, ACHIEVEMENTS & OBJECTIVES
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has adopted a program designed to further the conservation,
restoration, development and management of the natural resources of the 1,339 square miles included in the Authority's
area of jurisdiction. The Authority has identified the region's river valleys, the Lake Ontario shoreline and the
headwater areas of the Oak Ridges interlobate moraine, and the Niagara Escarpment as the major resources to which its
programs are applied.
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 conservation functions they perform, they are made available to the
co~nunity for outdoor and conservation education, recreation and historic sites purposes.
Within these comprehensive program guidelines, the Authority has, over the years, reflected the priorities and policies
of the partners, the participating municipalities and the Province of Ontario as expressed through the representative
Authority members. Since 1951, 66% of the Authority's capital and development budget has been devoted to the valley
systems in flood control and water conservation, 19% has been devoted to Lake Ontario Shoreline Management, 13% to
upstream management in conservation areas and reforestation, and 2% to outdoor and conservation education.
The 1978 Preliminary Budget Estimates for administration, operations and maintenance, current and capital programs reflect
the emphasis on Flood Control and Water Conservation, provide for the management of lands and facilities acquired and
developed in connection with this program, and continue the approved Waterfront project.

Waterfront Plan
Expenditures on administration, operations and maintenance and current programs comprise the Authority's general levy
on all participating municipalities apportioned on the basis of equalized assessment as supplied by the Province of
Ontario. Expenditures on capital programs are financed as a capital le~y on benefiting municipalities.
CAPITAL PROGRAMS
Flood Control & Water Conservation and Erosion Control: The estimates reflect the direction of the Authority that
higher priority be given to this aspect of the Authority's conservation program. The estimates reflect an increase
in the level of provincial support and are based on a level of funding to meet the priorities established by the
Authority for Flood Control & Water Conservation and Erosion Control. The Authority will be able to fund its entire
Plan for Flood Control and Water Conservation in 1978. WC-60, the downstream erosion control project, is fully
funded. Additional funds are available for engineering studies and for some additional erosion control measures.
Municipal Contributions to Capital Programs: The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto has established capital budget
targets for the M.T.R.C.A. for Flood Control and Water Conservation, Erosion Control and Waterfront Development. The
estimates for these programs c9ritained within this budget are within the targets established by Metropolitan Toronto.
The Metropolitan Toronto capital budget target for the Authority was $3,650,000.
THE 1918 LEVY
The preliminary apportionment of the 1918 Municipal Levies is based on the latest equalized assessment figures available
to the Authority (1975 assessment data for 1976 taxation purposes) as supplied by the Province of Ontario. These prelim-
inary apportionments are subject to revision when current figures are available from the Province.
In accordance with the policy adopted by the Authority, the Regional Municipalities of Durham, Peel and York have been
levied an amount equal to 100% of the 1977 taxes paid by the Authority for revenue producing conservation areas within >
I
those municipalities. Within Metropolitan Toronto, Authority lands are not subject to taxation. ~
C)
C)
PROVINCIAL FUNDING
The current provincial Grant Structure (basically 50%) on Administration, Water & Related Land Management and Conservation
& Recreation Land Management has been used in the estimates. The Province has indicated however that there may be a change
in the level of grant with respect to Water & Related Land Management programs to take effect January 1, 1978.

PROGRAM Operations & Maintenance - Conservation Area Operations PAGE 12.
PURPOSE: The conservation and management of lands under the jurisdiction of the Authority and the
provision of outdoor recreation opportunities.
1978 OBJECTIVES: - the management and operation of 17,000 acres of Authority lands including 14 conservation
areas, which will provide 1.3 million user days of recreation
- due to continued budget limitations, the 1978 estimates provide for the same level of
maintenance of service as in previous years. This reflects adjustments in Authority
priorities. Selective use and management of Authority lands is required to maximize
use and minimize costs.
- to provide self-supporting visitor services
FUNDING: Program revenues and the General Levy on all participating municipalities. No provincial
grant is available for this program.
FINANCIAL COMMENTS: In 1977, budgetted revenues were met because of near normal weather conditions and the
interest in the Albion Hills winter program. In 1978, projected program revenues have
been estimated to be higher than 1977, which were based on an average of three previous
years, reflecting some fee changes and increased program revenues.

- the continuation of the landfill project at Bluffer's Phase II and start on construction
of permanent boating facilities
- the completion of Humber Bay East for opening to the public .
- the continuation of development of the Western Beaches .
- the development of the top1ands at Bluffer's Park
- the initiation of development at East Point Park
- the continuation of environmental monitoring program

CHAIRMAN'S REMARKS
The Chairman introduced Mr. WIn. G. Barber, recently appointed to the
Authority by The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto.
It was with deep regret that Mr. Henderson informed the Members of the
recent sudden death of Mrs. Gordon Risk.
Mr. Henderson reported on a number of items that have arisen since the
last Authority Meeting:
(a) He had received information from Mr. E.H. Card, Chairman of the
Foundation on the following activities of the Foundation for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 1977:
The Foundation will have transferred funds to
the Authority for the following accounts:
The Kortright Centre for Conservation $715,322.63
This includes the 1977 Wintario share
and was only provided because the
Foundation had raised by public
subscription $525,000.
Black Creek Pioneer Village 117,949.95
This will also provide an additional
$39,316.65 from Wintario
Conservation Field Centres' Courses 3,300.00
Interest earned on Endowment Funds 5,000.00
B. Harper Bull Conservation Fellowship Awards 1.000.00
TOTAL AMClJNT $842..572.58
The Foundation was complimented on this very fine effort.

-3- A-460
(b) Briefs in response to the Authority's Report to The Royal Can-
mission on Metropolitan Toronto had been received from the
following Councils: Metropolitan Toronto, The Ci ty of Toronto,
the Regions of Durham, and Peel, and The Town of Ajax. They
have all responded that they favour our Brief and, in most
instances, do not agree with the Commission's Report. Members
of Metro Council - Mr. John Sewell and Mr. Bruce Sinclair were
particularly active in response to the Authority's Brief and
agreed with it.
(c) Mr. Leo Beckett had written letters to Members of Parliament
with regard. to the Authority's Report to The Royal Commission
on Metropolitan Toronto and received 54 replies - in fact, all
but three Cabinet Ministers - all of whom are inclined to the
way the Authority has been carrying on in the past and assuring
us that it should continue in like manner. A letter from the
Premier, The Honourable WIn. G. Davis expressed the feeling that
"the affairs of the Authority are in good hands".
(d) This is the last meeting of the Au th ori ty for 1977: the Annual
Meeting and Election of Officers for 1978 will be held FRIDAY,
FEBRUARY 3, 1978, COMMENCING AT 2:00 P.M., at mE KORTRIGHT
CENTRE FOR CONSERVATION.
(e) one month from today is Christmas and I wish all of you a Very
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. The Members reciprocated
most heartily.
GREETINGS FRa.t HUMBER COLLEGE
OF APPLIED ARTS & TECHNOLOGY
The Chairman 'called upon Mrs. Gell, Chairman of the Board of Governors,
Humber College of Applied Arts and Technology to extend greetings.
Mrs. Gell welcomed the members to "this remarkable edi fice (built
with the taxpayers' money)" and explained the room assigned for this
meeting was the main cafeteria, which is used as a lounge for staff
after classes have been dismissed. Mrs. Gell said she was happy
that the Authority had chosen the College for this meeting because
it offered an opportunity for members to observe from the window of
the cafeteria the exact location of the Humber Arboretum where
planting has already commenced. In conclusion Mrs. Gell said
"Welcome and thank you for coming".
MRS. GARDNER'S RESPONSE
"Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology were begun consequent to a
Bill enacted by The Province of ontario in 1965, under the Minister
of Education, Mr. wm. G. Davis.
I have a particular interest in Humber College because it was on my
motion from Etobicoke to the Minis ter that it was incorporated in
January, 1967.
The original campus was the old James S. Bell Public School on the
Lakeshore Road in Etobicoke, with an initial student enrolment of
500 in 25 different programmes.
It now, in only ten years, has eight divisions: Applied Arts,
Business, Technology, COJIIIIUnications and Health Sciences - each one
of which has approximately 20 different proqranmes and which now
occupy eight campuses.
A-46l -4-
The current enrolment in both full and part time courses is 55,000.
Last year 9,000 graduated from the full time courses - trained to
occupy jobs in many fields.
The total current revenue from all sources is $27,583,000.00.
We on the Metro Authority have a particular affinity with Humber
College, in the aspirations and goals of the Department of Landscape
Technicians, in their plans for the use of valley and slope lands at
the main campus, to establish an Arboretum and natural park for the
enlightenment and recreation of citizens. And if you will recall,
during the past year we signed a partnership agreement with them to
fulfill this function.
The Chairman of the Board of Governors, with these very obvious
onerous responsibilities for this enormous, remarkable and lively
institution, is our own FLORENCE GELL. It is to her and her Board
of Governors that we owe our opportunity today to hold our meeting
at the College and to enjoy its hospitality. With appreciation, I
wish to speak for all of us - MANY, MANY THANKS."
1977 B. HARPER BULL
CONSERVATION FELLOWSHIP AWARDS
Dr. Leith stated that one of his more enjoyable tasks as a Member of
the Authority was the presentation of the B. Harper Bull Conservation
Fellowship Awards. The Awards Fund of The Metropolitan Toronto and
Region Conservation Foundation was made possible by a generous gift
by Mrs. B. Harper Bull in 1973, as a living memorial in perpetuity
to her late husband, a lifelong Conservationist. The income earned
on these funds invested provides the annual fellowships.
Dr. Leith further stated that it was a great honour and privilege to
announce these Awards this afternoon to Miss Denise Mary Feeley and
Mr. Brian Christopher Adeney, both of Metropolitan Toronto, and
invited Mrs. Bull to come forward and present the Awards to two very
fine young people.
Mrs. Bull presented cheques to the two winners of the 1977 B. Harper
Bull Conservation Fellowship Awards and congratulated each of them.
The Chairman, on behalf of the Authority, added his congratulations
to the winners and expressed appreciation to Mrs. Bull for her
continued interest in conservation.

SHORELINE PROTECTION
A staff communication was presented advising that erosion on

Gibraltar Point was serious during the high water period and
still continues during storm conditions. Several trees and
a substantial amount of land have been lost. A relatively
new and inexpensive shoreline protective technique known

17. THE KORTRIGHT CENTRE FOR CONSERVATION
Firepond Cover
A communication from the Property Administrator was presented
advising that the firepond at The Kortright Centre for
Conservation, being located adjacent to very large trees,
the pond surface was covered with leaves at the time of
testing the sprinkler system and the intake plugged with
leaves.
Various means of correcting this problem have been discussed
with the Architect, Engineers and with others and, while there
are numerous ways of covering the pond, most are very expensive.
Most outdoor swimming pools are covered during the winter with
some type of free-floating material such as woven pOlyethylene
which has been ultra-vilet stabilized.
Staff is of the view that a swimming pool type cover is the
most economical and is probably the only type of cover that
could be installed in the short term and still provide a
measure of fire safety.
Quotations for firepond covers have been received as follows:
Polytarp Products $4,307.80 (2 year warranty)
$5,906.86 (5 year warranty)
Canadian Vinyl Industries Limited $1,691.11 (2 year warranty)
Scarborough Canvas Fabricators Ltd. $1,965.89 (4 year warranty)
The cover supplied by Scarborough Canvas Fabricators Limited will
be anchored by rubber ropes and heavy duty pegs spaced at
