Introduction -' On August 27th and 28th thunderstorms caused significant flooding on the Highlund Creek and to some extent, on adjacent watersheds. On September 2, 1976 a helicopter survey was made of the valley to photograph damages resul ting from the two storms. On September 7, 1976 a meeting was held of all affected public departments to determine the impact of the storm::: on their area (s) of jurisdiction and what assistance might be available. It was concluded at that meeting that the Metropolitan Toronto 'and Region Conservation Authority should report on the storms and particularly their . frequency, in order that repairs could be adequately designed for what could become a recurring problem. The Executive Committee authorized Kilborn Limited to carry out such a study: following is a surrmary of their findings. Hyd,rolQ9Y On August 27th a cyclone moved eastward from Manitoba and caused strong southward winds in Western Ontario. These winds in turn brought warm, humid air into the province. The study concludes that the thunderstorm of August 27th was an air,mass th.....nderstorm. Wind indicators at the AES facility in Downsview recorded maximum winds from the west at 35-40 mph with gusts to 60 mph. The entire storm was a cyclonic rotation and was taken to be the dissipating stage of a tornado. The August 28th storm was a result of two cold fronts associated \'ii th a low pressure system and as their front advanced in a NE-SW line it brought 'showers and thunder- storms through the Toronto area. The path of both storms is illustrated in Figure 1 of the report. The overall watershed average rainfall for the August 27th storm was 1.89 in., derived from the isohyetal mapping illustrated in Figure 4 of the report. Similarly, the August 28th storm average rainfall was 2.24 in, derived from the isohyetal mapping, illustrated in Figure 5,of the report. ~1ese two storms had consicJerable impact on the Highland Creek, yet had little impact on adjacent watershed tributaries. The lowest maximum flow of !:J61 (c.f.s.) was recorded on the Houge River and the highest maxjmum flow of: 1620 (c.f.s.) was 'recorded on the Little Don River. .

Nonetheless, high water marks were used to establish peak flows at the stream gauge at the Old Kingston Road Bridge. This gauge malfunctioned as a result of debris or shifti.ng river bed load blocking off the entrance of the corrugated metal pipe which connects the gauge to the creek invert. In the light of this, a theoretical method was employed in establishing a stage/flow relationship and this was achieved by using the computer programme "HEC 2" developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Figure 19 of the report illustrates the resulting hypothetical hydrograph derived by synthetic methods for the August 27th and 28th storms. .Note that the volumE under the hydrograph for the August 28th storm is considerably greater than that of the .August 27th storm. The peak flow for the floodwaters of the second storm were routed through a number of small reservoirs set up by the dam2ging results of the preceeding storm. Thus, even though the total runoff volume for the August 28th storm was 2,422 acre-feet as compared to 1,048 acre-feet for the August 27th storm, the second ~torm caused considerably less damage. The physical characteristics of the watershed had a significant effect on the flooding resulting from the storms. Highland Creek has a typical gradient for this region of O. 4% from the headwaters to Lake Ontario. The soil groups in the watershed are evenly mixed 'with an approximate 50/50 split between well drained and imperfectly drained areas. Fully 60 per cent of the ~ighland Creek watershed is urbanized. Urbanization has a tremendous effect 011 the runoff flows in a watershed. The greater the urbcmization, the greater the :r:unoff volumes. Figure 20 of the report illustrates this point by comparing the August 27th storm synthetic hydrograph for 1954 land use and 1976 land use, a difference in peak [lows of approximately 4,100 (c.f.s.) . .

The report also defines the synthetic hydrographs for the 10, 25,50 and 100 years return period storms (as opposed to flood) out of which, it \vas shown that the August 27th st.orm has a return period of 15 years; this does not necessarily mean that the August 27th peak flmv is likely to occur again in exactly 15 years. The storm of August 28th had a return period between 50,and 100 years and was more significant in terms of xainfall. The frequencies for the peak flows (as opposed to storm) were derived using the log - Pearson Type III analysis, a statistical analysi3, and the results are as follows for the August 27th storm: Station Peak Flow Return Period Highland Creek 4,780 c. f. s. 37 years .. ~. Dor, Ri ver 520 c.f.s. 1 year (approx. ) Little Don River 1,620 c.f.s. 3.5 years(approx.) Rouge River 561 c.f.s. 1 year (approx. ) Little Rouge River 15 c.f.s. Nil . The floods of August 27th and 28th exemplify the way in which storm return periods and 'flow return periods can be related to - one another and also be greatly affected by stream characteristics arid extraordinary conditions: the synthetic hydrograph derived using the SCS method for the storm of August 28th falls between the hydrograpl1s of similar (one hour duration) 50 and 100 year return period storms, suggesting a return period of that order. But by happenstance the Highland Creek was clogged with debris from the previous day's storm, so that the actual peak flow was much lower than would have 'been pre'dicted (an estimated 1,115 c.f.s. as deriveu in Section 3.6.3.). This lowered peak gives a return period of only 2.5 years on the flow-frequency curve for the storm of 1\ugust 28th even though the rainfull was much more significant. . .

Damages were almost exclusively on public lands and are outlined in Table 14 of the report. Some damage was incurred by private property owners particularly Scarborough College and Scarborough Golf Club. In the former, tennis courts were partially dillTIased, and in the latter a number of golf course bridges were washed away and greens flooded with sediment and debris. Damage figures for private property is unknown but is thought to be in the order of $100,000. It should be noted that these figures do not include damage caused by the flooding to bas€::nents (of which over 1500 were affected). f.QQf 1 uEi.9EE. . The Conclusions brought forth in c.he Kilborn report are as follO\~s: 1. The only recording stream gauge on the Highland Creek system malfunctioned during the flooding of August 27th and 28th, 1976. In view of the increasing likelihood of high flow events on the Highland Creek in the future, the availability of an accurate hydrograph record will be essential. Steps should be taken to assure that co~tinuity of recording is maintained and accuracy in the upper flow ranges is improved. 2. Gabion bank protection works and dro~ structures diminishe~ the extent of erosion damage on the Highland Creek and other streams. Even gabions which were - damaged or destroyed probably prevented ffiore severe erosion from occurring. 3. While the debris which blocked off many pedestrian bridges, with resultant pon~ing, probably lowered the August 28th flood peak - considerable damage was done to the bridges anu approaches. Replacement or future bridge designs might take this factor into account, by p~oviding sufficient flexibility to pass high flows and debris easily. At. the same time, it should be realized that much of the d~bris damming was not associated with man-made structures and would have occurred to a less~r degree in any event. - . . . .

'1'he combination of two [actors: highly efficient man- made channe13 in the upper watershe~ and ~Ie great incrcase in urban lvnd uscs, has magnified the flooding potcntial on the lower (more natur<ll and mcandering) reaches in recent years. For this reason, the return periods for given flow values has decreased, and will continue to decrease, as time goes on; that is, while return periods for given storms should remain constant, high flows will occur progressively more frequently. 5. The Highland Creek has been transformed from a rural watershed to a highly urbanized watershed over the last 25 years. As such, the creek valley has taken on two main functions: as the principal IIstorm water collectorll for much of the Borough of Scarborough, and as II open spacell for urban recreational uses. In its capacity as a large storm water collection system, the Highl...md Creek performed fairly well during the floods of August 27th and 28th. To be sure, damages occurred within the valley proper put there were no deaths or severe injuries reported and fairly minor losses to private property. This can be directly ,attributed to the ongoing Conservation Authority policy (initiated following Hurricane Hazel in 1954) or restricting the encroachment of private property on valley lands. As for damage to lIopen spacell land uses, most of the destruction was confined to the high velocity zone near the main channel, while the rest of the flood plain was only subject to the deposition of silt and debris. There is no reason why the Highland Creek cannot continue to fulfill this dual function, provided that. the two uses are made to be compatible (i.e. avoid building constrictive structures, place "open space" facilities out of the way of high flow velocities, protect banks to beyond the high velocity zone, and so on). -- 0 .

SCIIEDUI,E "C II TO: THE CHAIRMAN AND MEr-1DF:RS OF 'l'HE EXECUTIVE COMMIT'l'EE, M.T.R.C.A. - Meeting #1/77 RE: METROPOLITAN TORONTO REGION BOATING STUDY 1976 INTRODUCTION During the past 10 years, there has been a rapid increase in the number of recreational craft stored or moored along the Metropolitan Toronto region waterfront. This growing increase in boating has been exemplified, in part, by the increasing number of boat sales and by the number of n~nes on waiting lists for possible moorings at existing and proposed facilities. As part of the 1977-1981 Waterfront Project, two new major boating areas will be developed at the Humber Bay and Bluffers waterfront areas. In this respect, several majo~ areas of concern including: the extent of involvement by the public agencies, site allocation, operation and administration of boating areas, leases, and others, . must be examined now and in the near future. , ,", On January 27, 1976, a report entitled: IIpolicy Respecting Leases ";. .",":.- - To Boat-Oriented Gi.OUpSIl was presented to the Metropolitan Toronto Council. In adopting this report several recommendations were approved which, in part, called for further detailed study on appropriate numbers and locations of various types of boaring nse, and possible phasing and costs of facilities to be provided. Commencing in the summer of 1976, the Water Resource Division of the Authority and the Parks Department of Metropolitan Toronto jointly undertook a major boating study for the Metropolitan Toronto Region. The study was designed to obtain background information for the formulation of an overall boating policy for the Metropolitan Toronto waterfront. The study was broken do\~ into five major parts as outlined below: 1. Questionnaire: Existing Clubs and Marinas 2. Interviews with: Club Executives, Marina Operators, Boating Association Personnel 3. Survey: Boat and Boater Characteristics 4. Questionnaire: MTRCA/Metro Parks Waiting Lists 5. Liaison: Other Waterfront Communities in Canada and the United States This background information has now been finalized and a summary attached to.this communication. SUPPLY/DEMAND Based on infonnation received from this and other studies re~ating to boating along the Metropolitan Toronto Region waterfront, supply and demand for wet moored and dry sailed boating were calculated for the 1977~1991 period for that area between Port Credit and Ajax. Demand factors included existing facilities, unsatisfied demand (waiting lists) , and ilnnua1 demand growth rates, while supply factors included existing supply, proposed new facilities, and the expansion/realignment of e~dHting fucili ties. 0 B-29 TO: The Executive Committee - Meeting #1/77 RE: METROPOLITAN TORON~O REGION BOATING STUDY 1976 Page 2 ~ --~ ---- -------- ----- --------~-------------- 1976 5300 existing wet/dry mooring spots 1500 unsatisfied demand (waiting lists) 6800 total demand 1977-1981 10,062 projected total demand 8,640 projected total supply 0 1,422 unsatisfied demand 1982-1986 13,402 projected total demand 11,640 projected total supply 1,762 unsatisfied demand 1987-1991 17,516 projected total demand 14,240 projected total supply 3,276 unsatisfied demand Therefore, even with the creation of new boating facilities or the expansion/realignment of existing ones, there would still appear to exist an unsatisfied demand for the next 15 year period. The creation of new facilities unaccounted for in these calculations, particularly between Etobicoke and Port Credit, or a change in the economic climate of the Metropolitan Toronto Region, could directly affect the extent of the "unsatisfied demand II . SITE ALLOCATION The study has revealed that approximateiy 6~~ of the fleet is found at some type of club and 4~~ at marinas, and furtr9r, dry sailed boats are almost exclusively located at clubs. An additional breakdown indicates an approximate 50-50 split for the number of wet moored boats found at clubs and marinas. Generally, clubs cater to those boaters interested in formal . organizations, social ties and to some extent organized racing. Marinas, on the other hand, cater to those boaters not interested in club ties and/or interested in a broader range of boating services. Also, ~n some instances, the cost of a new boat and a year's operating cost, in addition to a entrance fee and possible . deb~nture at a club may be more than a boater can economically bear in a relatively short period of time. However, as marinas are largely economically oriented, they tend to limit their facilities to more popular sizes or lines of boats in an effort to secure and maximize investment returns. Conversely, clubs are not considered money-makers and tend to serve a much broader range of boats, noticeable dry sail. As marinas and clubs offer different types and levels of services and interest, there remains ~he need to allow for both types of boating organizations along the waterfront. As marinas are largely private enterprises, it is key that they be located and of a size to be economically viable. To be successful, marinas should provide for 500 boats or more. They should be located as part of a major attraction (i.e. Ontario Place) or . strategically located in close proximity to an urban area that will provide such facilities as restaurants, groceries stores, stores in general"hotels, etc. (i.e. Port Credit).

D-31 TO: The Executive Committee - Meeting #1/77 , RE: ME'l'ROPOLITAN ']'ORONTO REGION BOATING S'l'UDY 1976 Page 4' It is of importance to the Authority that the allocation of boating groups to Humber Bay and Bluffers waterfront areas be undertaken in the near future, so as to provide input into final design (i.e. interior shoreline for boating> and for the co-ordination of master plan and site plan preparation to comply with Authority scheduling and overall development of the site. The results of the study, including proposed site allocations, were presented to representatives of the Ontario Sailing Association and the Metropolitan Yacht Racing Council for technical comment at a meeting held on January 25, 1977. These representatives were pleased that the Authority and Metropolitan Toronto as public agencies were becoming involved in the boating scene as shortages were ever increasing. They generally agreed with the results of the study and the Ontario Sailing Association offered their assistance in setting up the proposed boating organizations. RECOMMENDATION THAT: The staff communication and brief entitled: "The Metropolitan Toronto Region Boating Study", dated 1976, be received; and, THAT: The boating allocations, as contained in this' communication, be approved, with the post 1981 boating allocations to be reviewed at that time; and, that these allocations be forwarded to Metropolitan Toronto for its consideration and approval; and, FURTHER THAT: The Metropolitan Toronto Parks Department be requested to allocate boating groups for the Humber Bay and Bluffers waterfront areas as soon as possible; in order that Authority can utilize the expertise of these groups in the design of interior shorelines at the respective boating waterfront areas.

The study was designed to obtain background data and information on major areas of interest with respect to boating leading to the formulation of a boating policy to be used as a directive for present and future boating developments. The study was broken down into five major parts, as outlined below: . 1. Questionnaire: Existing elubs and Marinas - to update the wet moored and dry sailed boat fleet 2. Interviews with: Club Executives, Marina Operators, Boating Association Personnel - to obtain input into major areas of concern at the executive level 3. Survey: Boat and Boater eharacteristics - to obtain general information with respect to boat and boater characteristics for the wet moored/dry sailed fleet along the waterfront 4. Questionnaire: MTRCA/Metro Parks Department Waiting Lists - to obtain background information on those people on waiting lists 5.

The 21 to 30 ft range is overwhelmingly the most popular wet moored group and the large concentration of this range at marinas is probably attributable to commercial enterprise. (b) In general, marinas provide a broader range of services than do clubs, including: gas, pump-out, laundry services, dry dock and repair facili ;_ies, water/hydro per slip, etc. As most marinas are commercial in nature, it is the provision of the full range of services that result in economic returns for the operator. An ideal location with a major attraction point, i.e. Ontario Place, or cl~se proximity to a downtown area of a city, is also key to the economic success of a marina operation. .:--~: . . . . D-38 - 3 - , PART II Interviews with: CLUB EXECUTIVES, MARINA OPERATORS, BOATING ASSOCIATION PERSONNEL INTRODUCTION - purpose: to obtain corrments, opinions on major areas of concern for boating at the present time, for future development and operation of new facilities. - 10 meetings were held involving representatives of 13 clubs/marina~j or organizations. VLAJOR FINDINGS (Opinions On): . (i) Extent of Involvement of Public Agen€ies in the Provision of New Club Facilities: - it was felt that it would be best for all involved for the public agencies to provide services to the lease line and lease "X" amount of land and "y" amount of water to a club - cLub then responsible for building clubhouse, docks and ancillary facilities - it was believed this wou'1d engender "club spirit" and develop "club ties" if the members grew with the club. (ii) Extent of Involvement of Public Agencies in the provision of New Marina Facilities: - if extent of involvement of public agencies limited to the leasing of land and water, then marina developer must secure adequate capital to finance a marina with a full range of services - not viable to construct a marina that is merely mooring space because the return on the investment is too slow (iii) Leases: - both club and marina personnel believed that major facility development by club members or marina developer would necessitate a long term lease and in the case of a marina, preferrably at a flat rate so as to realize economic returns at some point. (iv) elub/Marina Size: - club - maximum 200-250 wet moored boats - work party oriented club possible - over 200-250 wet moored boats - administrative/operational personnel then required - lnarina - 500 wet moored boats - economically viable - 4 - B-39 (v) Winter Storage: . - many considered the shortage of winter storage a serious problem at the present time - there was very little enthusiasm for the idea of providing large comrr.on storage areas central to a number of clubs/marinas - it was believed such areas would be open to vandalism and to be useable during winter months 0 for repairs, an enclosed area would have to be heated so as to enable work with fiberglass hulls - - this would be too expensive - many believed that the average boater could make most of his repairs and preparations during the spring prior to launching - it was stressed that on site winter storage is important and is a key component for new facilities for a total boating package. (vi) Federation Concept: - many were not receptive to physical sharing of facilities such as a clubhouse - it was felt each club would want its own separate identity, particularly in relation to club pride, racing and friendly overall competitiveness - many found merit with some physical sharing of facilities for a major site - pump-out, gas, launching/haul out .....,. - also receptive to the administrative concept of a federation, in which all clubs would be members of a site federation, with federation addressing itself to boating as it effects the site as a whole. . . . . " B-40 - 5 - PART III . Survey: BOAT AND BOATER CHARACTERISTICS INTRODUCTION - purpose: to identify general hoat and boater- characteristics for the wet moored/dry sailed fleet along the waterfront - interviewing included 24 club facilities and 5 marinas resulting in 589 interviews MAJOR FINDINGS .(i) M~ke up,: I - 84% of survey fleet was sail - most popular dry sail range - 15 to 20 ft. - most popular wet moored range - 26 to 30 ft., but followed closely by the 21 to 25 ft range. (ii) Age Composition: - wet moorers in general are the older boaters as they are concentrated in the 36 to 59 age range - club dry sailors have a relatively even split between the 26 to 35 age range and the 36 to 59 age range - predominate age grr.up for community club is 26 to 35 (iii) Boating Experience: - most experienced boater is wet moored at a club, followed by; dry sailed at a club; wet moored at . a marina; and a community club member. (iv) Boater Residence: - overall, the majority of boaters surveyed reside in Metropolitan Toronto - marina wet moorers as a group, had the largest proportion of boaters residing outside of Metropolitan Toronto (v) Travel Time: - major'mode of transportation is the automobile, 110\vc\"cr, 2L'~, oC corr!TIuni ty c) ub men,bers use some type of public transit in travelling to their clubs - 7CY'j., of the boaters smnplcd live wi thin ~ hour t.ruvel time from their boating facilities - 25% live within 31 t.o GO minutes . - 6 - B-4l - , (vi) Money Spent on Boating (yearly median) : - to include: membership fees, mooring fees, launching- haul out, winter storage, maintenance/repair and fuel . - marina wet moorers $1,023 - club wet moorers $1,009 - club dry sailors $400 - club non boat owners (crewing members) $250 - community club members $176 (vii) Major Reasons for Purchase of Craft: - wet moorers - family recreation - p~rsonal preference for the craft - dry sailors - racing qualities (viii) Frequency of Boat Use: - 86% of the sample boated at least 2 or 3 times a week - 8~1o of the sample boat:d on both weekdays and weekends (ix) Number of People per Boat per Outing: - overall 3.3 people - marina wet moorers 3.4 people - club wet moorers 3.7 people - club dry sailors 1.9 people - community club members 2.6 people (x) Boat Replacement: - 24% of the sample own their first boat, with the highest percentage at marinas followed by dry sail at clubs and then wet moored at clubs - in buying new craft the trend is towards sail and to larger boats (xi) Number of Years at Present Club/Marina (median): - marinas 2.8 years community clubs 3.1 years club (dry sail) , 3.2 years club (wet moored) 8.3 years - 29% of the marina respondents were in their first year at their present fac~lity 24% at community clubs 16% at clubs (dry sail) 3% at clubs (wet moored) . . . 13-42 - 7 - (xii) Future Facilities: - 95% of the respondents indicated a need for further development of boating facilities along the waterfront. SUMHARY (a) Community clubs and to some extent crewing memberships at sailing clubs tend to cater to the new participant in the sport of boati.ng, who will often use this type of membership as a IIspringboardll to further involvement in boating. Community clubs experience a high turn-over rate which can be accounted for, in part, to a shift to boat ownership in dry sailing or wet mooring. Similarly, in many instances, dry sailing is a stepping . stone to wet mooring. Clubs cater to those boaters who desire some social aspects in conjunction with boating. Also, clubs cater to those boaters interested in some form of ors~nized racing. Marinas cater to those boaters who desire a fuller range of services and/or want no club ties. Further, it may be possible that ma~ina wet moorers, particularly new ones, cannot initially bear the cost of a new boat and operating costs, in addition to an entrance fee and possible debenture at a club-. It would appear that the.most IIstablell boater is the wet moorer at a club as he tends to be the older, most experienced boater with the longest club/marina affiliation. (b) Boating, as associated with formal organizations, is a highly active sport. The vast majority of boaters use their crafts at least 2 or 3 times a week, both during the week and on weekends. Wet moored boats cater to family involvement in the sport, while racing qualities appear to be a major concern for many dry sailors buying a boat. 0 ------ -- - . - 8 - B-43 PART IV . Questionnaire: M'I'RCA/METRO PARKS WAITING LISTS . INTRODUCTION - purpose: to obtain general background information on those people on wainting lists - 440 questionnaires were sent out 315 returned MAJOR FINDINGS (i) of the 315 questionnaires returned, 253 (80%) own a boat and have it moored or stored somewhere (Metro waterfront, backyard, cottage, etc. ) (ii) for those presently owning a boat: 7go" sail 21% power if a mooring spot was available, those not owning a boat would buy: 82% sail 18% power . for those on the waitiilg lists approximately . . 8~" expressed an intere~t in sail and 2~" an interest in power (iii) Preferred Mooring Location (Existing/Proposed Facilities): - most popular first choices: Bluffers (Scarborough) and Humber Bay (Etobicoke) [recent press on these sites may have had some influence] - most popular second choices: East Point (Scarborough) and Marie Curtis (Etobicoke) (iv) Relocation: - those owning a boat were asked where they wanted to relocate - major, reason (overwhelmingly) - a desire to locate closer to their place of residence (v) Time Spent on Boating (if owned boat) : - 83.~" indicated that they spent more than 9 hours per week associated with boating during the season (vi) Use of Boat (if owned boat): - the overwhelming major use of boat was family oriented recreational purposes . - - --- -- ---------- ---- -- . B-44 - 9 - SUMMARY . . (a) the majority of those individuals found on MTRCA/ Metro Parks waiting lists would appear to have some boating experience as they presently own a boa t . (b) there would appear to exist a demand to build new boating facilities in Scarborough and Etobicoke to serve growing interest in these sectors. 0 ....... . . - 10 - B-45 PART V Liaison: onIER WATERFRONT COMMUNITIES IN eANADA AND THE UNITED STATES f INTRODUCTION - purpose: to obtain background information with respect to the planning, development and operation of boating facilities in other communities - . information was received from 24 municipalities in Canada and the United States SUMMARY (a) most cities forwarding information were cognizant of the waterfront as a major recreational resource, with boating as a significant element. (b) the majority of cities had some type of involvemellt by the public agencies in the boating ~. :ene. The extent and nature of involvement varied dramatically; for example: - provision of protected water only - provision of protected water and land on a lease basis - construction of structures, i.e. launching ramps, docks, etc. .:--:,. - no cities were noted to provide a complete range of facilities that were in turn leased to a club or marina - also, in many instances the involvement of public agencies in boating usually involved more than one level of government to varying extents. . 0 . . . - - - ---- --- ~ B-46 (!7 ,~. the metropolitan toronto and region conservation authority minutes EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WEDNESDAY-FEBRUARY-23-1977 #2/77 The Executive Committee met in the Governor's Boardroom, Humber College of Applied Arts and Technology, tt27 Highway, on Wednesday, February 23, 1977, commencing at 10:00 a.m. PRESENT FOR THE HEARING Chairman R.G.

T. R. C. A. 'f HAT in consideration of any request for approval of a sanitary landfill site in the region under the jurisdiction of the Authority, the following criteria be used in formulating a decision: (a) Flood Control The Authority be assured that any sanitary land- fill sites be designed, developed and operated so as to ensure adequate capacity for the design flood flows as determined by the Authority. If special flood control measures are required, these shall be undertaken at no cost to the Authority and in accordance with design criteria established by the Authority; (b) Pollution Control The Authority be assured that any sanitary land- fill established in the area under the juris- diction of the Authority be designed, developed and operated in such a way as to ensure that there be control of pollution of both ground and surface water. Any facilities required to ensure proper pollution control be established at no cost to and to the satisfaction of the Authority; (c) Land Use The Authority be assured that the establishment of a sanitary landfill on Authority-owned lands or on areas adjacent to lands presently owned or proposed for acquisition will in no way be detri- mental to the future use and development of these lands for Authority purposes; (d) General The Authority require general assurances regard- ing the proper development and operation of waste disposal in the area under the jurisdiction of the Authority, in order to prevent refuse from becoming an environmental pollution hazard." The Authority was subsequently requested to comment respect- ing the development of a sanitary landfill site in the Maple area. In this connection, the Executive Co~nittee (at a meeting held January 7, 1970) adopted the following resolutions: "Res. #378 RESOLVED THA'l': The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conscrvntion Authority gjve Dpproval, in principle, to the proposLll of the Towwihip of ViluCJhan to nevelop a Silllitury Landfill Site immediately to the east of the exinting Townnhip site in Lot 2G, Conccssion III, -2- B-68 Township of Vaughan, subject to the Authority having the opportunity of reviewing detailed plans for the development of the landfill prior to the operation commcncing: and further THAT the design and opcration of the site be such that the headwaters of the Don Watershed be not polluted.

In this connection, the Executive Committee adopted Resolution #116: "THAT the Authority forward to the Ministry of the Environment the recommendations adopted.by Resolution #404, Executive Meeting #19/74, and that the Ministry be requested, in their presentation to the Environmental Hearing Board, to include the concerns of the Authority especially with respect to the recognized hazard to ground water quality: and further THAT in any approval, provision be made for future use and management of the site and responsibility for possible future pollution." -, The Authority's position with respect to the applications currently being considered remains as stated. The major concerns relate to the protection of headwaters of the Don River from possible contamination; the possible degradation of groundwater quality in an area heavily dependant upon wells as a source of domestic water supply; the continued lack of a detailed future land use plan for the Maple Area; and the need to provide for long-term manag~~ent and responsibility of the landfill sites in the event of approvals being given. i Q~ '\:' .~ B-7l e7 ,.~'" the metropolitan toronto and region conservation authority minutes EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WEDNESDAY-MARCIl-23-1977 #4/77 The Executive Committee met in the Board Room, Authority Office, 5 Shoreham Drive, Downsview, on Wednesday, March 23, 1977, commencing at 10:00 a.m. Following the Roll Call, the Meeting recessed to hold Hearings.

McLean, Director of Planning & Policy Chairman Acting Secretary-Treasurer B-84 SCHEDULE "A" ENCROACHMENTS ONTO AUTHORITY-OWNED LANDS GENERAL In areas where the Authority owns valley lands or sections of the Lake Ontario shoreline, problems can result from encroach- ment by adjacent land-owners onto Authority-owned land. In most instances, these encroachments are in isolated locations and con- sist of owners attempting to extend their lot onto adjacent table land or to relatively unused slopes. Land adjacent to private property along valleys and the shoreline is often not fenced, is used as passive open space and is difficult to maintain. The areas where the most intensive residential development has taken place adjacent to Authority lands are situated within the boundaries of Metropolitan Toronto. These lands are under agreement with The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and, under the terms of the agreement, maintenance and development are the responsibility of the Metropolitan Toronto Parks Department, once having received Authority approval. Metro Parks has the responsibility for supervision on these lands; however, no specific 'statements in the agreement identify the need to inform the Authority in the event of encroachment by adjacent owners. In practice, Metro Parks has notified the Authority if they are aware of such activity. The remainder of Authority property is located within The Regional Municipalities of Durham, Peel and York. These lands, for the most part, are large blocks within generally rural areas and are developed and maintained by the Authority. Certain exceptions are found wherein a municipality has assumed responsibility for an area under an agreement similar to that with Metropolitan Toronto. Where these lands are adjacent to built-up areas, problems of encroachment can occur, as within Metropolitan Toronto. TITLE The Authority's ownership of land falls into two categories: (a) lands acquired under the Land Titles system - this system affords a reasonably absolute title; (b) lands acquired under the Registry Office system - lands acquired under this system are susceptible to claims by adjacent owners and it is possible for an adjacent owner to establish legal rights to . ownership through possession. A large portion of Authority lands have been purchased under the Registry Office system and can, therefore, be subject to claims of possession should an encroachment be unchecked for an extended period of time - usually, over 10 years. B-85 ENCROACHMENTS . . . 2. PROBLEMS The degree and type of encroachment can vary considerably. Often, the adjacent owner simply extends his grass cutting onto Authority property. In some instances, this can be followed by the owner including Authority land in his landscaping, planting trees, shrubs or flower beds beyond his own boundary. This type of use, as long as it does not cut off public access across the property, is not too serious and is probably, in part, the result of little or no maintenance of the land by the Authority or the municipality, where a management agreement exists. More serious problems can arise, however, if the adjacent owner develops a feeling of proprietorship towards the land he has been managing and includes Authority lands within his fenced area or builds structures, i.e., sheds, swimming pools, etc., upon Authority lands. As the Authority purchases land for flood control, erosion control, open space and other conservation uses, intrusion of fences and other permanent structures onto Authority- owned land can have the effect of negating the purposes for which the lands were acquired. RECOMMENDATIONS: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT: As a matter of policy, the, Authority not permit encroachments onto its lands and, in this connection, that the following action be taken: (a) The staff be directed to locate and correct e~isting instances of encroachment onto Authority land; (b) Where management agreements are in effect with municipalities or other agencies, their assist- ance be requested in locating existing encroach- ments and preventing future occurrences; (c) As additional lands are acquired, Authority Enforcement Officers be notified as to the location and extent of the property and a site visit be made; and THAT as additional lands are acquired, the need to fence these lands be determined and, if required, the responsibility for providing fencing be established; (d) Where unfenced Authority lands do not form an integral part of a used and maintained area and . do abut private lands, the possibility of allow- ing minor maintenance by the adjacent owner, under agreement or permit, be investigated. Where this land is covered by an existing B-B6 ENCROACHMENTS . . . 3. management agreement, the managing agency or municipality will be consulted; (e) Where structures encroach upon Authority land, their immediate removal be requested. Failure to comply will result in the Authority seeking a legal opinion and proceeding to prudently exercise its rights through proper legal process. W.A.

SCHEDULE "C" TO: The Chairman and Members, Executive Committee, #5/77. RE: AUTHORITY RESOLUTION #36/77, HUMBER B1\Y EAST WATERFRONT AREA - ETOBICOKE MOTEL STRIP At its Meeting #2/77, the Authority gave the following direction with respect to the above-noted subject: "RESOLVED THAT: Staff report in detail to the next meeting of the Authority on the options available to the Authority in securing the appropriate shore- line properties in the Motel Strip; and THAT no further negotiations take place respecting this land until the Authority has indicated which option it considers most attractive from the Authority's point of view; and further THAT the Secretary of Cabinet, the Borough of . Etobicoke and The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto be advised of the above action." In order for the Authori'ty to consider .which option it considers most attractive. in securing the appropriate shoreline properties in the .Motel Strip', three types of information will be helpful: (a) a description of the site and the present ownership; (b) an outline of the Authority.s objectives in the Waterfront Plan as they pertain to the Humber Bay Area and the acquisition of 'appropriate shore- line properties';. (c) a description of the options the Authority has in acquiring the subject properties; (a) SITE DESCRIPTION AND OWNERSHIP: The Humber Bay Waterfront Area in general, and the 'Motel Strip' in particular, was described in the Waterfront Plan 1972-1976 as follows: "Humber Bay Waterfront Area This site lying south of 'the Lake Shore Bouleva~d in the Borough of Etobicoke between the Mimico Creek and the Humber River is proposed for dev- elopment following the completion of land fill operations at the Mimico Creek. The present shoreline is characterized by highway commercial uses fronting on Lake Shore Boulevard, including two gas stations, seventeen motels and a dozen single family dwellings. Private and public owners in this area have almost without exception engaged in shoreline filling in a completely un- coordinated fashion. The resultant shoreline has a serrated appearance, is unstable, and further modifications should be subject to regulation under an Authority shoreline management policy. . _ n 0-113 RE: HUMBER OA Y EAS'l' WA'l'ERFRON'I' AREA, ETOBICOKE MOTEL STRIP 2. The waterfront area to be created will consist of a land extension in a spit-like formation, commencing on Crown land which has already been filled, immediately adjacent to the east side of the Mimico Creck and extending south- ward from Lake Shore Boulevard. Using a "beach and headland" construction method, the new land will be created approximately 2,000 feet southward into the lake, and in a curving spit extending some 600 feet to the east. In order to ensure that there is proper circulation in the water behind the spit, provision will be made for water to pass through the spit. Due to the irregular and unstable existing shore- line within the project boundary for this site, this project proposes a shoreline management policy which would regulate further fills to con- form to mature shoreline criteria, and the acquisition of the southerly portion of privately- owned waterlots to enable public access across the entire length of shoreline." An aerial photo map accompanies this report. The land and water a~ea in question lies immediately south of Lake Shore Boulevard, between the Mimico Creek 'and the Humber River. The serrated nature of the existing shoreline and its random relation- ship to ownership can be seen. In many cases, attempts have been made at stabilizing the shoreline by placing rubble material along the water's edge. This type of work, carried out on an individual property basis without proper engineering design, has resulted in an unsightly and unstable shoreline. The progress of landfill by the Authority is also evident in the photo. The Humber Bay East fill offers some protection from south and westerly storms, and creates approximately thirty- eight acres of partially protected water. Superimposed on the photograph is information descriptive of the property ownership pattern. It will be noted that most of the private lots are long and narrow and are aligned perpendicular to Lake Shore Boulevard. The publicly-owned land lies on the lake side of the private lands. Those lands on which S.B. McLaughlin has obtained agreements are included in the area enclosed by the small dotted line~ It will be noted that some of the private properties include both land and water areas. This is as a result of the . granting of 'water lots'. Water lots have been the subject of considerable interest in discussions relating to the 'Motel Strip' and the Authority.s legal advisers were asked to comment on ownership. The firm of Gardiner, Roberts has reported as follows: B-1l4 RE: HUMBER BAY E~ST WATERFRONT AREA, ETODICOKE MOTEL STRIP 3. "Ne attended at the Registry Office and obtained copies of all of the patents of water10ts within the area commonly referred to as the 'Motel Strip'. There were approximately half-a-dozen of these patents from the Crown given between the years 1877 and 1913. Each of them contained one or other of the following provisions:- (a) "Saving, excepting and reserving nevertheless unto Us, . . . the free uses, passage and enjoyment of, in, over and upon all navigable waters that shall or may be hereafter found on or under, or be flowing through or upon any part of the said Parcel or Tract of Land hereby granted as aforesaid." (b) "Saving, excepting and reserving, nevertheless unto Us, . . . all ores, mines or minerals which are or shall hereafter be found on or under the said land, and the free use, passage and enjoyment of, in, over and upon all navigable waters which shall or may hereafter be found on or under, or be flowing through or upon any p~rt of the said Parcel or Tract of Land covered with water hereby granted as aforesaid, "and reserving also the right of access to the shores of all rivers, streams and lakes for all vessels, boats and persons. .. Having regard to the language of the patent, it would appear to us that an artificial filling of the water- lot by its owner is unlawful vis-a-vis that,owner and the Crown. What, if any rights that may afford individual members of the public who do not own any land along the shore- line is impossible of precise opinion. From the research which we have been able to do in the limited period of time since being asked for it, we are of the opinion that the filling probably would not create a right of action in the public at large. In our opinion, a right of action would be available only to someone enjoying riparian rights. This would be an adjoining owner of shoreline land or patented waterlot, but even the right of action of such an owner would be limited to claims for damage which he could establish as having actually occurred to his property because of the filling elsewhere. We do not believe that the reservation in the patent of free passage upon the nagivab1e waters which covered the water10t at the time of the patent creates a cause of action in a boat-owning member of the public. His only complaint would appear to be that the shoreline to which he now has access is 30., 40. or 50' further out in the lake than when the patent . was granted and we do not believe that damages could be shown to flow from this. As a result, it is our opinion that where filling of . water10ts has occurred without the consent of the Crown in right of the Province, that the Crown could take some proceedings founded upon this "unlawful" act, but, unless there has been special damage to an adjoining land owner traceable to the fact of this filling, we do not believe that a proceeding commenced by a member of the public at large would be we11- founded or result in damages being awarded." B-115 RE: HUMBER DAY E~ST WATERFRONT AREA, ETODICOKE MOTEL STRIP 4. It will also be noted from the photo that the Authority.s proposal for public ownership includes in most instances the rear portion of the private properties. The lands at the Palace Pier site adjacent to the Humber River have already been brought into public ownership. (b) AUTHORITY OBJECTIVES: In its Waterfront Plan, the Authority has enunciated a number of objectives for waterfront development. The following are of particular interest: (i) carry out works along the shoreline of Lake Ontario in accordance with proper shoreline management principles. Works will primarily be of a type and design which will form a part of an integrated management system for the entire shoreline, will limit abnormal erosion at the land/water interface, will enable public access along the water's edge, and will be conducive to beach maintenance; (ii) augment the present state of knowledge of lake processes by further research, data collection and analysis, including the assess- ment of the effect of developments undertaken in the area under the jurisdiction 'of the Authority; - (iii) co-operate, where possible, with municipalities, other government agencies and private owners in establishing criteria for their shoreline works, which will be consistent with the Authority's shoreline management pOlicy; (iv) co-operate with all agencies concerned with improving the water quality of Lake Ontario in the area under the jurisdiction of the Authority; (v) seek the co-operation of the municipalities in reviewing their plans of development for lands adjacent to the waterfront, to ensure that any development is compatible with the overall Water- front Plan, and co-operate with the local municipalities for the protection of adjacent residential neighbourhoods; (vi) seek opportunities to incorporate public recreational uses on public and quasi public lands where such uses would not conflict with their present use. Should such lands cease to be used for their present public purposes, the Authority will, when appropriate, seek to retain them for waterfront purposes; (vii) to encourage the preservation of the remaining lower valley marsh areas by discouraging the further intrusion of power boating facilities in the lower valleys; (viii) to encourage the linking of waterfront open space corridors with those of the river valleys; D-116 RE: nUMDER D1\Y El\ST WNfERFRONT l\RE1\, ETOBICOKE MOTEL STRIP 5. (ix) to create, at regular intervals along the Lake Ontario shoreline, small craft areas which will provide safe harbourage for the boating public, as well as day and seasonal mooring facilities; (x) co-operate with other agencies,and particularly adjacent Conservation Authorities, who are undertaking waterfront planning and development. These objectives were reflected in the Master Plan for the Humber Bay East Waterfront Area. In summary, the Plan provides for:- (i) Access to Humber Bay Waterfront Area for vehicles directly from Lake Shore Blvd. with no interference on residential streets; (ii) Pedestrian access from Lake Shore Blvd., and a shoreline pedestrian link from the Humber River and Western Beaches to Mimico Creek; (iii) An offshore landfill area linked to the main- land by a narrow neck, creating 45 acres of parkland and 38 acres of partially protected water. The water area is to be managed for small boating and fishing. - (iv) Public acquisition of the rear portion of motel strip properties to: . obtain riparian rights which go with the land to enable ,control of use of protected water area; . enable a co-ordinated shoreline management programme, including reconstruction of the shoreline by filling, and protection; . provide for the access referred to in (ii) : Substantial progress has been made. The Humber Bay East landfill is virtually complete, and the surface development ,and final armouring work will commence this summer, with completion anticipated in 1978. As a part of the development agreement with the Borough of Etobicoke, public ownership of the Palace Pier shoreline has been obtained and the shoreline management work carried out in accordance with Authority specifications (see map). (c) OPTIONS FOR ACQUISITION: The Authority has a variety of options it can consider . for acquiring the remaining property rights it requires in the Motel Strip section of the Humber Bay East B-117 RE: HUMBER BAY EAST WATERFRONT AREA, ETOBICOKE MOTEL STRIP 6. Waterfront Area. Whichever method is selected in acquiring the appropriate lands, the Authority has no option but to deal with those in whom the required property rights are vested. (i) Exchange of Lands: The concept of the Master Plan of the Humber Bay Waterfront Area was prepared to conform to District 7 Plan proposals of the time, which anticipated that the lands would be assembled for redevelopment and that an exchange of lands, private to public and public to private, could be effected to create a publicly-owned shoreline capable of achieving the objectives already des- cribed. The concept was prepared so that an exchange could take place on an acre-for-acres basis, in order that the size of public lands would not be diminished, but would be advantag- eously located. The accompanying photo map shows the present location of public and private lands. The principles governing such an exchange would be - as follows: . it would be on an acre-for-acre basis; . it would be at no cost to the Authority; . riparian rights accruing to private property would be extinguished; . the filling required to create the shoreline strip and the necessary protection would be carried out by the private sector, as was done in the case of the Palace Pier develop- ment; . the detailed design of the fill would form a part of property negotiations, but would be consistent with the following guidelines: (a) the fill would not interfere with circulation in the protected water area; (b) encroachment on the protected water area would be minimal; (c) all filling and protection would be done as a unit and completed within a specified time limit; The question of a dollar value exchange, rather than acre-for-acre, has been suggested as being more appropriate. Gardiner, Roberts who, as our legal advisers, assist in pr9perty negotiations, were asked for their opinion. They report: B-lla . RE: HUMDER BAY EAST WATERFRONT AREA, ETOBICOKE MOTEL STRIP 7. "Our opinion concerning whether or not an exchange of lands between the Conservation Authority and the prospective developer on a dollar for dollar basis or an acre for acre basis is preferable, was also requested. Firstly, it must be borne in mind that no exchange of lands on either basis can take place unless the title of the Crown lands is transferred from it to the Conservation Authority. Once this has occurred and on the assumption that the areas of land exchanged equate in size, it is our opinion that there was no significant difference in the approaches since the .'density value" would remain constant." (ii) Public Use of Filled Water Lots: It has been suggested that one of the options of the Authority is to request the Crown claim the right of public use for privately-owned water lots which have been filled or partially filled without Crown authorization. Gardiner, Roberts - in their opinion quoted earlier - indicated that the filling of these water, lots 'probably would not create a right of action in the public at large.' Further, they have indicated that .the Crown could take some proceedings founded upon this unlawful act'. Clarification of this point was requested and we were advised that the nature of such proceedings might be to require the removal of the fill, but this would not appear to resolve anything about the p~operty rights, and the present owners would con'.inue as the owners of the water lots. The success of such proceedings is in doubt. Possession of the type suggested would not be of assistance in gaining the right to carry out the required shoreline management or be effective in extinguishing riparian rights accruing to the properties. (iii) Negotiate with Owners Individually: There are approximately 37 properties in the .Motel Strip'. Since the Authority requirements are for a strip of property along the shoreline, rights from most of th~ 37 properties have to be acquired. In most instances, trading public land in exchange for required private land is not feasible as close examination of the photo map will indicate. There is no public land adjacent to most properties which could be used in a trade. Dealing with owners on an individual basis would require budget provision for acquisition~ A variation of this method would be to sell the public land and use the funds received to buy the necessary private lands. Until the question of the future use and development of the 'Motel Strip' is settled, willing buyers and sellers are not likely to appear. . B-11 9 RE: HUMBER BAY EAST WATERFRONT AREA, ETOBICOKE MOTEL STRIP B. The opinion of Gardiner, Roberts was sought on these options: "Our opinion was also sought concerning whether or not the Authority could negotiate with the individual landowners along the Motel Strip, and particularly how such negotiations might be affected by options held by S.B. McLaughlin and Associates. In our opinion, negotiations with individual owners, so long as the options are outstanding, would be futile. S.B. McLaughlin Limited, having the options, is an owner in equity and no agreement between the optionor and the Conservation Authority can have any effect without the agreement and consent of the optionee, S.B. McLaughlin and Associates." (iv) Expropriation: Under the Conservation Authorities Act, the Authority can seek leave to expropriate properties required for its projects. The opinion of Gardiner, Roberts was sought on this option: "Our comment on the alternative of expropration as opposed to a negotiated exchange of lands was also asked. If the Authority desired to expropriate the property rather than exchange equal areas with the developer, it must make an application for leave to expropriate and the owner of the lands can require a "hearing of necessity". Upon that hearing it would be necessary to establish to the satisfaction of the Inquiry Officer that the expropriation of those lands is "fair, sound and reasonably necessa~y" to achieve the objectives of the Conservation Authority. That is a question of fact upon which evidence would have to be adduced. Assuming an expropriation were approved and carried out, then compensation would be due the owner from whom the property is taken. If there was no exchange of equal areas to make up for development potential lost as a result of the , expropriation, that would be part of the compensation which the Authority would have to pay. The quantum cannot be determined until the fact of the prospective development is established. The arbitrating tribunal must first determine the . reasonable probability of development either as high density, medium density or low density Residential, or, alternatively, for Commercial purposes, and having so found then determine the market value and the damages for injurious affection against that finding." Expropriation would achieve the same objectives as the land exchange option, with the exception that costs to the Authority, as indicated in the Gardiner, Roberts opinion, would have to be provided for. B-120 RE: HUMBER BAY EAST WATERFRONT AREA, ETOBICOKE MOTEL STRIP 9. COMMENT: It was pointed out at the outset that the Authority could only acguire the property it requires by dealing with the owners in whom the rights are vested. The redevelopment of the 'Motel Strip' is currently before the Ontario Cabinet in the form of an appeal by the Borough of Etobicoke against an Ontario Municipal Board decision to permit redevelopment of the Motel Strip for residential purposes at a density of 92 suites to the acre. The outcome of the appeal will determine the ultimate owners with whom the Authority has to deal. The type of owners and the extent of their holdings will determine which option the Authority should employ to acquire the property it requires. In the interim, the Authority has been requested to take part in discussions between Etobicoke and S.B. McLaughlin to determine answers for questions posed by the Legislative Committee of Cabinet. The Executive Committee of the AuthJrity has agreed to Authority representat~ves taking part in these discussions. This report, together with the Master Plan for the Humber Bay Waterfront Area and the Waterfront Projects, clearly sets out the objectives of the Authority. RECOMMENDATION: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT: The decision of the Executive Committee that the Authority take part in discussions requested by the Chairman of the Cabinet Committee on Legislation with respect to the interest of the Authority in the Etobicoke Motel Strip area be confirmed.

B-150 APPENDIX 2 TO: The Chairman and Members of the Personnel Sub-Committee, M.T.R.C.A. - Meeting #1/77 - Thursday, April 28, 1977 RE: ORGANIZATION, DUTIES AND CLASSIFICATION LEVELS OF PERSONNEL ASSIGNED TO THE BOYD CONSERVATION EDUCATION COMPLEX AND THE KORTRIGHT CENTRE FOR CONSERVATION At Meeting #6/77 of the Executive Committee held on April 20, 1977, the following resolution was adopted: That the Personnel Sub-Committee be requested to develop a staff structure, position descriptions and salary ranges for staff assigned to the Kortright Centre for Conservation and further that consideration be given to employing a Superintendent, Exhibit Designer, Building Manager and Program Coordinator, as soon as possible. Three regular staff positions' are designated at the Kortright Centre for Conservation. They are the Conservation Education Supervisor, Conservation Education Assistant Supervisor and a Lead Hand. This staff has been assisted by Ex~erience .76 students, L.I.P., O.C.A.P., part time Educational Assistants, volunteers and staff from the Boyd Conservation Area as required and when available. The completion of the Kortright Centre for Conservation building is estimated to be August 15, 1977 with a reception scheduled for September 28, 1977 and the official opening September 17, 1978. It is anticipated that attendance will rise rapidly following the opening of the Centre in 1978. An adequate staff structure is essential at this time to carry out the following duties: (i) development of the Boyd Conservation Education Complex (ii) maintenance and security of the Boyd Conservation Education Complex (iii) design and construction of exhibits (iv) program delivery to the public and"groups (v) cleaning, maintenance and security of all buildings in the Boyd Conservation Education Complex including the Kortright Centre for Conservation building. The fOllowing is a brief description of the existing positions. CONSERVATION EDUCATION SUPERVISOR The Supervisor assigned the responsibility for the development and operation of the Kortright Centre for Conservation was the Supervisor responsible for the general interpretive program of the Authority. The general interpretive program will be largely consolidated and expanded at the Kortright Centre for Conservation and the few remaining elements have now been re-assigned to other Conservation Education Supervisors. ego Bruce's Mill maple syrup program has been assigned - 2 - B-15l to the Conservation Education Supervisor located at the Clm"emont Conservation Field Centre. The Supervisor is responsible for the overall project and has been assigned only limited duties beyond the Centre such as Claireville Dam Open House and watershed tours. The scope of the Kortright Centre for Conservation has necessitated a division of responsibility with the Supervisor being directly responsible for administration, development of outside exhibits, operations and maintenance. The responsibility for program development, the research and planning of exhibits has been delegated to the Conservation Education Assistant Supervisor. The existing position description for a Conservation Education Supervisor adequately describes the terms of reference, qualifications and experience required for the Supervisor of the Kortright Centre for Conservation. CURATOR This title would replace the present Conservation Education Assistant Supervisor. The major duties would be the research, planning and development of exhibits and audio-visuals, program development for the public and groups and assuming the duties of the Conservation Education Supervisor in the absence of the Supervisor. The duties of the Curator do not sufficiently parallel the duties of the Conservation Education Assistant Supervisor in the Conservation Field Centres (instruction) . The Ministry of Culture and Recreation has required the Authority to name a Curator for the purposes of providing an operating grant. A new position description for the Curator is attached. The following is a brief description of the recommended positions. SUPERINTENDENT The Superintendent would be responsible to the Conservation Education Supervisor for the maintenance, operation, development and security of the Kortright Centre for Conservation and for the development, maintenance and security of the Boyd Conservation Education Complex. The terms of reference, qualifications and experience of a Conservation Area Superintendent are adequate for the Superintendent assigned to this project. BUILDING MANAGER II The position, Building Manager, was created to accommodate the needs of the Conservation Field Centres. The duties include cleaning, repair and maintenance of the building, its equipment and surroundings. One Building Manager is assigned to each Centre which contains approximately 10,000 sq. ft. It is proposed that the Building Manager II would take responsibility for all buildings contained in the Boyd Conservation Education Complex. The Boyd Conservation Field Centre and the Kortright Centre for Conservation building will total nearly 40,000 sq. ft. Responsibility for the buildings proposed for the Glassco B-152 - 3 - Park would also be the responsibility of the Building Manager II. A position description for the Building Manager II is attached. EXHIBIT DESIGNER The Exhibit Designer is required, as soon as possible, to be responsible to the Curator for the final design and construction of the indoor exhibits and the design and construction of some components of the outdoor exhibits. The exhibit designer will be required to act as a resource person for outside design firms, and organizations installing exhibits at the Centre. With approximately 15,000 sq. ft. of "museum space", containing exhibits that will be changing with both the season and the year, a full time employee is essential. It is anticipated that most support staff can 'be provided by part time assistants, financed by outside agencies such as L.I.P., O.C.A.P. , Experience Programs Winter Works, Canada Works, Young Canada etc.. A position description is attached. PROGRAM COORDINATOR The Program Coordinator is responsible to the Curator for all program delivery to the public and groups. Since a limited number of special weekend programs will be available to the pUblic and only a few group bookings accepted until after the official opening, it is recommended that this position be filled on a part time basis at this time and on a full time basis when required after the official opening of the Centre. , KORTRIGHT CENTRE FOR CONSERVATION CONSERVATION EDUCATION SUPERVISOR (C.L.7) I CURATOR (A) (C.L.6) " EXHIBIT PROGRAM SUPERINTENDENT (A) DESIGNER COORDINATOR (C.L. 5) (C.L.5) (C.L.5) BUILDING MANAGER II (C.L.5) .

B-160 APPENDIX 4 TO: The Chairman & Members, Personnel Sub-Committee #1/77 RE: TRAINING SEMINAR - ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS: I have given consideration to the appropriate training for the Authority.s Enforcement Officers to assist them in carrying out their responsibilities in the most effective manner. As the Authority.s Regulations become more important in the achieving of conservation objectives, the effectiveness of their enforcement increases, and we find ourselves increasingly becoming involved in court action as a result of enforcement of our Regulations. We have investigated the opportunities for further training for our Enforcement Officers, and are of the opinion that the special training offered by the Ontario Provincial Police is the most suitable. The Ontario Provincial Police provide a 15-day seminar-type training course covering the following subjects: .Preparation for Court .Principles of Law Enforcement .Information Summons and Subpoena.s .Office Department .Evidence .Provincial Statutes . Report \oJr i ting .Confessions .Summary Conviction Tickets .Crowd Control . Firearms .Note Taking .police Act .Defensive Driving .First Aid .Powers of Arrest and Search .Warrants .Abandoned and Stolen Car Recognition .Criminal Code It is anticipated that the next seminar time will be in the latter part of the summer. This training is available at no cost to the Authority; however, there would be some incidental costs for meals and travel. RECOMMENDATION: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT: the Enforcement Officers be permitted to attend the 15-day training course for By-Law Enforcement Officers offered by the Ontario Provincial Police at their Training and Development Centre in Toronto in 1977; and that their costs in connection therewith be paid.

Program Conservation Areas ,Development Albion Hills - No development work was carried on during this period. Boyd - Limited development consisting of woodlot management and the nursery operation was carried out. Bruce's Mill - The only development during this period was in connection with the maple syrup program. Claremont - A minor amount of woodlot management work has been completed. flairevill~ - A minor amount of woodlot management work has been completed. Cold Creek - The majority of the woodlot management work for this year has been completed. Glen Haffy - Approx. half the woodlot management work has been completed, along with work connected with the fish rearing pro- gram. Greenwood - Expenditure has been limited to vehicle and machinery use in connection with development work at the Claremont Area. Heart Lake - Woodlot management work primarily concerned with updating the forest management plan has been carried on during this period. Milne - Work during this period has been limited to the construct- ion of new outhouses. Petticoat Creek - During this period 100 picnic tables have been constructed in preparation for the summer season. Black Creek - No development work has taken place during this period. Conservation Areas Operations During the winter seven conservation areas were open to the public. All Areas except Milne were open with the beginning of the trout season, April 30. During this period all Areas have been involved with routine maintenance operations, including equipment and machinery repair in preparation for the summer season. During the winter the major activity was the ski program at the Albion Hills Area. This program was highly successful with the week-day school program being booked every day to mid March. Week-end attendance resulted in almost complete use of available rental equipment. The main spring program, the Bruce's Mill maple syrup demonstration, unfortunately was not as successful as previous years. Total attendance for this program was down approx. 6600 people over the 1976 attendance.. The opening of the trout season on April 30 was very well attended at Albion Hills, Glen Haffy, Heart Lake,' Bruce's l-1ill, Greenwood and Claremont. Catches at Heart Lake of several 16" trout indicate that the fish kill last August was not complete, as far as the trout population was concerned. To offset the problem, 350 10"-12" rainbow trout were stocked from the Glen Haffy hatchery prior to the opening of the season. Additional stocking for Heart Lake will be provided by the Ministry of Natural Resources. . B-176 -2- The winter period proved to be the best for several years and attendance figures and revenues reflect the increased use. Attendance to May 1 increased 20,598 or 13% over the same period in 1976. The fOllowing table compares individual Area attendance with the previous year. . 1977 1976 Albion Hills 47,703 31,558 Black Creek 36,785 31,332 Boyd 18,889 19,044 Bruce's Hill 25,076 35,415 Claireville 5,919 4,292 Claremont 931 107 Cold Creek 15,446 14,756 Glen Haffy 3,771 1,376 Greenwood 8,687 7,126 Heart Lake 11,524 9,028 Petticoat Creek 378 496 Woodbridge 1,578 1,478 . 176,687 156,098 Conservation Services Program Reforestation - Approximately 38,100 reforestation trees were planted for private landowners this spring.

Financial Comments Conservation Areas Development During this period development has been limited, primarily consist- ing of woodlot management. Prior to the onset of the summer season other development items will be undertaken. Conservation Areas Operations Increased Area use due to the good winter season has resulted in revenue for the period being above the anticipated amount. Area operations expenditures are slightly above the anticipated amount, primarily due to the increase in the winter program at Albion Hills. At this time there is no problem with maintaining conser- vation area operations within budget limits. Conservation Services As of April 30,approximately 26% of the Conservation Services Pro- gram budget has been used. Reforestation and farm tree and shrub programs are progressing and all funds available will be spent.

The Information and Education operations are on target. The 4% difference between expenditures and revenues is approximately equal to the outstanding accounts at the time of the statement. It is anticipated that revenues and expenditures will continue to be on budget in 1977. B. The Water and Related Land Management - Community Relations Program (WlO ) combines both the program operations and the Information and Education development. The operations are on target. The expenditure on development to date is considerably less than budget due to the Ministry of Natural Resource's approvals not being received until April 27, 1977. C. The Conservation and Recreation Land Management - Conservation Area Information and Interpretive Program (C3 ) expenditures are somewhat less than estimates at this time due to the nature of spending. It is anticipated that the budget will be adequate to meet the program requirements. T. E.

The second major study to be initiated under the F~ood Control Plan Review, is that of the development of a hydrologic model for the Etobicoke and Mimico Creek Watersheds. James F. MacLaren Limited having been retained to carry out this model study and it is proposed to have the study complete by June, 1977. The flood line mapping of the Etobicoke and Mimico Creeks is progressing and to date, we have received most of the pencil manuscripts for our approval prior to finalizing the maps. The contracts for the remaining watersheds have been let and to date all of the aerial photography has been done. The third major study to be carried out under the Flood Control Plan Review, is an Erosion Inventory for ,the Regions of Peel, York and Durham. Three consultants namely: Triton Engineering Services, Totten Sims Hubicki Associates Limited and Gartner Lee Associates Limited, have been retained to carry out the study under each region respectively. These studies will inventory all erosion sites within each region and develop a priority list for work to be carried out under the Flood Control Plan.

B-199 TO: THE CHAIRMAN AND MEl1BERS OF THE EXECU'rrVE COMMITTEE M.T.R.C.A" Meeting #9/77 RE: WATER RESOURCE DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT FROM JANUARY 1/77 TO APRIL 30/77 Page -7- 5) WATERFRONT PROJECT 1977-1981 a) PROGRESS The 1977-1981 Waterfront Project was approved by the Ministry of Natural Resources in February, h~wever, the implementation of the extensive development works at various sites along the waterfront as described in the Project is being delayed as a result of an appeal by the Region of Durham to the Ontario Municipal Board regarding the Region's levy under the Waterfront Project. The date of the hearing is still unknown and as a result every effort is being made to restrict expenditures to a minimum until the result of the hearing is known. However, it is essential to carryon certain aspects of the development program such as the continuation of the two active landfills as well as the numerous design works which are required to prepare for the development of several major water- front sites. Humber Bay West Waterfront Area The landfilling necessary for the construction of the breakwater and back up area for the boat basin is continuing. To April 30/77 a total of 11.34 acres of land has been created. During the period January 1/77 to April 1/77 the filling continued in an area of protected water but progress is nO\I being made towards the next proposed headland which is approximately 800 feet west of the head- land established last fall. Over the period of this progress report the number of trucks bringing material to the site averaged 532 per day. A reply has been received from the Federal Department of Fisheries and Er.vironment regarding the Authority's request for assistance under the Small Craft Harbours Assistance Program. The reply stated that the cost estimates prepared by the Department of Public Works for the proposed armouring at Humber Bay West made the project unsuitable for assistance. It is the opinion of staff that the cost estimates were based on unrealistic design criteria and that substantial savings could be achieved through a wise use of concrete rubble available on the site. The Small Craft Harbours Branch is receptive to an appeal on this basis and staff are currently preparing the necessary documentation. Humber Bay East Waterfront Area A conceptual plan for the site has been prepared by the Authority's consultant and approved by Authority staff and the staff of the Metro Parks Department. Grading plans have been prepared and it is hoped that rough grading of the site will proceed by Toronto Harbour Commission forces as soon as possible. Final designs of the other proposed developments are being prepared in anticipation of a decision by the Ontario Municipal Board in the near future. ... / 8 - - - ----- . B-200 Page -O- Re: Water Resource Division Progress Report From January .1./77 to April 30/77 5) WATERFRONT PROJECT 1977-1901 (continued) Western Beaches The detailed designs for the dredging and dock walls are now virtually complete and ready for implementation as soon as funding permits. Meetings have been held with the boating clubs in the area to ensure that they are prepared to make a commitment to the development of the proposed new mooring area if the Authority proceeds with the necessary dredging and shore protection. Ashbridge I s Bay The staff of the Conservation Land Management Division are now working on site to complete the remainder of the planting and proceed with turf establishment in preparation for the Official opening scheduled for early July. All other aspects of the development are virtually complete, however, continuing vandal.i,sm has caused some difficulties in finalizing the Changehouse and the bollard lighting along the boardwalk. The development by the Ashbridge's Bay Yacht Club is continuing with the clubhouse, docks and marine railway being the major items under construction. Discussions have been held with the Club and the Hetro Parks Department aimed at finalizing a lease 'for the Club by the end of June. Bluffers Waterfront Area Landfilling is continuing on phase II and to April 30/77 approximately 23.6 acres of land have been created. The 1977 fill program has been designed and approved and one headland has already been created ready for final armouri.ng by the Federal Government under the Marina Assistance Program. The stone required for the armouring has been purchased and stockpiled and it is anticipated that a tender will be awarded by early June for the placement of the stone. Over the period of this progress report the number of trucks bringing material to the site averaged 350 per day. The boating study which made recommendations on the types of boating organizations to be developed at all waterfront sites including Bluffers Phase II and Humber Bay West Phase II has now been completed and approved and as a result it is expected that a federation will be formed in the near future to assist wi.th the detailed design of the mooring area. l:nvironmental Monitoring Program The 1977 Honitoring Program has been approved by the Authority, MNR, and HOE and the extensive sampling program began on April 25/77. Work is also ongoi.ng on a report covering the details of the Western Beaches dredging and the subsequent disposal at Humber Bay East which requires approval of the Ministry of the Environment. · .. /9 B-201 Page -9- Re: Water Resource Division Progress Report From January 1/77 to April 30/77 5) WATERFRONT PROJECT 1977-1981 (continued) Shoreline Man~gcment The Authority is working with Scarborough to formulate a plan for the protection of Crescentwood Parkette and the homes on Crescent- wood Road whieh comprise a design bloek that has been designated as the top priority for 1977.

It does not, however, .provide more than 1inited direction for the development of these activities. The definite improv€me~t into a more active and structured programme in the Conservation Areas demands that objectives be set, out- lining the Authority's interests: Obiectives 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, ench . 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; B-2l6 -6- Principles The principles of TIle Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservat- ion Autllority 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 municipal- ities and agencies interested in using these areas; [5] That all recreational instruction be designed to offer the visitor outdoor skills, enabling him/her to make additional use of the Conservation Areas; [6] That all Visitor Services be designed to increase the appreciation and understanding of natural resource manage- ment.

INTRODUCTION The Multi-Year Forecast for the four years 1979-1982 has been prepared at the request of the Province of Ontario. It should be noted that estimates for 1978 are not included. These will be prepared and presented at a later date. The stated objectives of the Multi-Year Forecast are:- (1) to encourage Authorities to p1?n their activities for the period and to establish priorities; . (2) to provide the Province with Authority plans for the period, expressed in dollars with identification of projects having highest priority; (3) to provide an equitable basis for the allocation of Provincial funds; In completing the Multi-Year Forecast, Authorities are requested to ensure that:- . (1) provision has been made for all currently planned projects within the planning period; (2) cost estimates are realistic and projects are economically feasible; (3) priority and timing of projects is realistic considering the need for prior technical and funding approvals, land acquisition, engineering etc; (4) funds for the Authority share of expenditures can be raised without undue difficulty; . 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 inter10bate moraine, and the Niagara Escarpme~t as the major resources to which its programs are applied. B. Established resource management programs include flood control and water conservation, erosion contr~l, ~aterfront 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 community 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 ref~restation, and 1% to outdoor and conservation education. The 1979-1982 Multi-Year Forecast for administration, operations and maintenance, current and capital programs reflect the emphasis on Flood Control and Water Conservation, Waterfront Development and provide for the management of lands and facilities acquired and developed in connection with this program. FORMAT OF PRESENTATION The 1979-1982 Multi-Year Forecast has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Natural Resources "Policy, Procedure and Information Manual for Conservation Authorities" with respect to Administration, Water and Related Land Management and Conservation & Recreation Land Manageme~t. Current cost levels have been used throughout the Forecast. An inflation factor will be added by the Ministry of Natural Resources in accordance with allowances approved by Management Board. The current Provincial Grant structure (basically 50%) on Administration, Water and Related Land Management and Conservation and Recreation Land Management has been used throughout the Forecast.

FUNDING: - Program revenues and general levy on all participating municipalities. No Provincial grant is available for this program. - Throughout the forecast, increases in revenues and expenditures at Albion Hills, Bruce's Mill, Claireville, Cold Creek, Glen Haffy, Greenwood, Heart Lake and Milne reflect an increased visitor services program. - Expenditure increases at Palgrave include an increased level of maintenance required to maintain the Area at an acceptable level. Service Area increased expenditures reflect the need to cover emergency situations throughout the conservation areas. - Revenue and expenditure increases at Claireville in 1980 and 1981 result from expansion of the campground. - Additional expenditures at Al~ion Hills, Glen Haffy, Heart Lake and Woodbridge are necessitated by major expenditures for road maintenance. - Development of facilities at Boyd, Greenwood and Milne Areas in 1979-81 require additional mainten- ance expenditures. FIN&~CIAL COMMENTS: - Decreases in the general levy reflect the increased revenue generated by the Albion Hills Conser- vation Area winter program which were not included in 1977 estimates. - An increased visitor services program is reflected in expenditures and revenues. These programs are self supporting with some net revenue resulting. Therefore any decrease in revenue would result in a similar decrease in expenditures. - Because costs of labour and materials will continue to rise during the forecast period, a general fee increase will be required to retain the general levy increases at an acceptable level. It is anticipated that this will occur in 1980, but no provision has been made for such an increase in this forecast. I MULTI-YEAR FORECAST 29.

The heaviest rain- fall reported was 2.5" at the Metro-Toronto Zoo on the Rouge River with 1.5" to 2.0" of rain reported in the Highland Creek area. This storm was almost exactly the same as the storms which occurred last August on the Highland Creek where similar amounts of rain were r~corded. The path and intensities of the storms were also very similar. The storm passed through very quickly and the heavy rainfall that resulted fell in a very short time which overtaxed the storm sewer systems and, due to the heavy urbanization in the Scarborough area, high runoff rates were experienced. This resulted in many flooded streets, underpasses and basements. The very efficient drainage system in the Borough of Scarborough as pointed out in the Kilborn report on the storms last August also resulted .in more severe damage on the lower Highland Creek. The Authority received a heavy thunderstorm warning late Friday afterno~n and very shortly thereafter the storm occurred and flooding was reported almost immediately. The Water Resource staff manned the flood warning centre and began receiving rain- fall reports and flooding reports. Three mobiles were sent out to the Highland Creek to report on the situation and by the time they had arrived the peak had passed and the water levels were on their way down. This gives an indication of the very intense nature of the storm and the speed with which the runoff occurred. High flows also occurred on the East Don much as in the storms last August and a peak flow of 1200 cfs was estimated at the stream gauge at Don Mills Road and York Mills ~oad. Although these flows were high, very little damage resulted on the East Don. Some minor flooding and damage was reported, however, on the Wilket Creek in Edwards Gardens and the Will:et Creek Park. The Highland Creek area, however, again received extensive damage and on a brief tour of the area on Friday and again the next week revealed that water levels experienced this year were similar to those last year and in many instances the high water marks this year equalled the marks recorded after the floods last August. The damages in some areas were not as severe as last year such as the Scarborough parks where the bridges had been raised after being washed out last year. The Scarborough Golf Club did not appear to suffer the same amount of damage even though the water levels were approximately the same as last year. This substantiates the theory that most of the damage last August was done during the second storm on Saturday. The flow volumes produced by this year's storm may have been less as well on the west branch as the storm was centered more to the east. The peak flow, however, seems to have been the same. . . . 2 B-374 - 2 - The major areas damaged again were in the Morningside Park and the Colonel Danforth Park. The Metropolitan Toronto Parks Department works yard at Morningside Avenue was surrounded with water and a portion of the entrance road was washed away again. Also, the bridge approaches on the, entrance road into Colonel Danforth Park were washed out as in the storms .last August. As far as the Authority's gabion work is concerned, most of the channelization that survived the storms last year were damaged and the already damaged works were virtually destroyed. It would appear now that almost a complete reconstruction program is required fr~m Colonel Danforth Park to Morningside Park. Other damages that have been reported to us which are not related to Authority or Metro Parks works were damages to the Scarborough College pedestrian bridge and severe silting of the tennis courts. Also, Scarborough works had to replace about 50' of sanit~ry sewer that was torn up in the Crooked Creek area. The damage to the high level bridge on Kingston Road appeared to be limited to some erosion around the footings but the bridge will remain closed until it has been studied. Two concrete tru~ks were also lost in this area as the contractor was caught by the very quick rise in water level. In conclusion, it appears that the storm on July 15, 1977 was very similar to the storms on August 27 and 28, 1976 and pro- duced peak flows and damages very close to those produced by the earlier storms. It was felt that since the storms were very similar, another detailed report was not required other than revising the damage estimates and reviewing the priority areas where work is to be carried out under WC-75 once app~oval is obtained.

Adm. tional water service has been installed to the picnic areas west of the main parking lot and east of the mill. WOrk has ~1I1~ced 00 the 001'1- stru.ction of rew bridges on the nature trail. ClareI'lDnt - Only limited woodlot management and the ordering of additiooal barbecues have taken place. Claireville - AwroxinBtely half the woodlot management work has been oonpleted, along with spring shrub planting. Cold Creek - r.Lhe majority of the woodlot manaqement work has been cx:mpleted, alonq with landscape tree and shrub planting. Addi tional barbeclEs have also been ordered. Glen Haffy - Approximately half the woodlot mmagemmt work has been CXIIpleted, along with 1f.1Ork ccnnected with the fish rearing program. Constroction has begun on a silt trap above the main fishing ponds. Greenwood - Expenditure has been limited to vehicle and machinery use in cormection with develqm:mt work at the Cl.areIlDnt Area, alalg with the oonpletion of reforest- ation and the ordering of aalitional barbeclEs. Heart lake - WOOdlot manaqement work in <x>njunction with updating the forest manage- ment plan has been carried out along with reforestation. Milne - Developnent work has been limited to the construction of rew outl'x:>uses. Pettiex>at Creek - lOO new piadc tables have been oanstructed and additional garbage cxmtainers purchased. Black Creek - WOOd1ot management consisting of spraying for the <x>ntrol of the tent caterpillar has been oonpleted. '!be Regional Recreatial Plan is proceeding alalg with the deve10pnent of certain Areas for the Master Plan Program. Three O.C.A.P. stl.dents are developing portions of these programs~ one in forestry, which will beoane the management program~ a seoond one in agricultural uses of our lands ~ and the third one working on resource inventozy. Conservation Areas Operations During the winter seven oonservation areas were open to the plbllc. All Areas except Milne were open with the beginning of the trout season, April 30. During this period all Areas have been involved with routine maintenance operations, including equiprent and nachineJ:y repair in preparation for the sumner season. During the winter the major activity was the ski program at the Albion Hills Area. This program was highly successful with the week-day school program being booked every day to mid March. Week-end attendance resulted in alnDst CXIIplete use of available rental equiprent. '!he main spring program, the Bruce's loti.ll maple syrq> denDnstration, unfortlmate1y was not as successful as previous years. Total attendance for this program was down approximately 6600 people over the 1976 attendance. The qeUnq of the trout season on April 30th was very well attended at Albion Hills, Glen Haffy, Heart lake, Bruce's Mill, Greenwood and Claremmt. Catches at Heart lake of several l6" trout indicate that the fish kill last August was not CXIIp1ete, as far as the trout population was <x>ncerned. To offset the problem, 350 10"-l2" rainbow trout were stocked fIa'R the Glen Haffy hatche%Y prior to the opening of the season. Additional stocking for Heart Lake ~cted fran the Ministry of Natural Resources was not forthcaning due to a shortage of avail- able fish. -2- B-43l All 14 COnservation Areas were open for the sunrner season as of the Victoria Day holiday week-end. 'D1e camping programs at Claireville, Albion Hills and COld Creek were also opened at this time. COnservation area staff have been prinarily involved during the sunrner season with routine maintenance operations. '!he winter period proved to be the best for several years, and attendance figures and revenues reflect the increased use. Attendance to May 1st increased 20,598 or 13% over the sane period in 1976. 'D1e s~ season has also been a good one despite the second poorest AU:JUSt attendance on reoord. Attendance from May 1 to AU:JUSt 31 has increased 78,621 or 8.7% over the same period in 1976. To date 1977 attendance is ahead of last year by 99,210 or 9.3%.

Financial Caments Cbnservation Areas Develqment To date cx:mservation areas develq:uent has been limited to woodlot managem:!nt during the late winter and a few other minor items over the sumner period. With the OCI'lclusion of the busy sumner season, the major E!ltphasis in conservation areas for the balance of the year will be on CXl1pleting outstanding developlEl1t i tens to the remaining limit of the 1977 developnent bmget. Cbnservation Areas Operations The revenue budget has alnDst been reached, and it is anticipated that all conser- vation areas, with the exception of Heart lake, will reach or excee:l their revenue targets for 1977. Operation expenlitures for the balance of the year will be reduced considerably, now that the sumner season is over. Only Albion Hills and Petticoat Creek are anticipated to exceed their budgets, but the overall conser- vation area operations expenlitures will be within budget limits. Conservation Services As of August 31st, appmximate1y 85% of the Conservation Services Program bu:lget has been used. It is anticipated that the remaining 15% will be spent by year's end, as two conservation plans are to be CXl1pleted prior to year end.

B. Publicity and Promotion About 15 of the Conway carvings were put on display at the Ridgetown Museum. Some of the carvings were also displayed at the Canadian National Exhibition, augmenting the artifacts that made up the Village's "What Is It?" competition. During the summer, the Village has been employed a number of times for commercial photography. Several advertisement pictures were taken including one for Campbell Soup and one for the Bay Stores that was published in the Toronto Star. Marlene D. Cosimo took a picture for a calendar cover for the Toronto Dominion Bank. Pictures of p-ottezy were taken for a Royal Ontario Museum book, and Hyla Fox photographed part of our collection for a book on samplers. The C.B.C. shot more scenes for their documentary on the Massey Family, also for a program on Recreation in Ontario and a film biography on Arthur Heming. Glen Warren Productions used the Village for a program in the "Agape" series and C.F.T.O. included a segment on the Village in a news program on Canada Day. Staff members were interviewed on the Gene Taylor Show on C.I.T.Y. and "A Bit About" on C.H.C.H. Hamilton.

The Board of Trade Club held a "Pioneer Days Picnic" on July 21st and on July 27th visitors to the Village were treated to a display of English Country dancing by the Darlington Morris Men who were visiting from England. D. Building Maintenance and Construction The exterior of the Doctor's Home has received a prime coat of paint and 95% of the interior trim is completed. Top soil has been applied to the lawn and garden area; the sodding has been done; the flagstone walk and yard fences and gates completed and the driveway gravelled. Water service has been installed to the lawn and basement and the road reconstructed in front. The Edgeley Mennonite Meeting House has been completely supported on a new foundation, and a rear entrance to the basement has been made. A furnace has been bought and the basement partitions are being constructed by the Village staff. The Town Hall Drive Shed, donated by Mr. Aaron Grove, is under reconstruction with the frame up and siding and roofing being applied. The labour for dismantling and reconstruction is being donated by the Mennonites and the York Chapter of the Pennsylvania German Folklore Society. E. Ground Maintenance and Development The lower valley flats of the Peacock Woods have been graded where the pond was filled in and top soil has been spread for fall seeding. The boardwalk along Queen Street has been completely rebuilt. Other areas of boardwalk are being repaired where and when it is necessary. The Village made a tractor and trailer wagon available to a "Save Our Streams" group who cleaned up the Black Creek channel from the C.N.R. line, through tne Village down to Finch Avenue. Three 40 yard disposal units of debris were collected. F. Livesto~k A foal was born in the Village on August 27th, giving a total now of nine horses.

Operations Attendance for 1977 up to August 3lstamounts to 194,7l7 which is almost the same as last year. Gift Shop sales amounted to $173,426.45 as compared to $166,282.79 last year. . The Citizenship program for 1977 has raised $10,498 for the Black Creek Growth Endowment Fund. There are now 654 citizens which compares to 801 last year when this program was promoted by the Toronto Sun and C.F.R.B. The Dickson Hill School program has been fully booked and so far 16 classes have participated in a week-long stay at the Village. The increase in provincial grants has permitted the re-opening of the Gunsmith and Woodworking Shops. The Canada Works Program and the Ontario Careers Action Program have helped considerably in adding six additional people to the village staff on a temporary basis. During the summer months the village staff was again augmented with twenty-five students under the Ontario Government Experience '77 Program. B. Capital Progress on the Doctor's Home was stopped at the end of July because all available funds had been expended. It is anticipated that $20,000 will be required in the 1978 budget to complete this building. The Edgeley Mennonite Meeting House was officially opened on June 3rd. Additional work will be done on the cellar area when funds become available. This area will be used by the Registrar for his office and the storage of artifacts. The Associated Medical Services Incorporated has donated $12,000 for the Doctor's Home. The Authority is indebted to Dr. John Scott for his efforts in securing this money. Artifacts valued at almost $10,000 have been received from Mrs. H. J. Cody.

The Information and Education operations are on target. The 3% difference between expenditures and revenues is approximately equal to the outstanding accounts at the time of the statement. It is anticipated that revenues and expenditures will continue to be on budget in 1977. B. The Water and Related Land Management - Community Relations Program (WlO) combines both the program operations and the Information and Education development. The operations are on target. The percentage expenditure on development to date is disproportionately high as a result of the construction of the Kortright Centre for Conservation being over-estimated in 1976 and an equivalent under-estimate in 1977. A detailed report on the expenditures and financing of the Centre is beipg prepared for the Building Committee. C. The Conservation and Recreation Land Management - Conservation Area Information and Interpretive Program (C3) expenditures are s()mewhat more than estimates at this time due to the nature of spending. It is anticipated that the budget will be adequate to meet the program requirements and not be overspent. T. E. Barber, Administrator Information & Education Division TEB/mm September 7, 1977.

The lengthy delay in obtaining a hearing date with the Ontario Municipal Board and the resultant decision which will require an adjustment in the levy to the Region of Durham and Met~oPOlitan TOronto has seriously affected the 1977 development programme. The necessity to keep expenditures to a minimum has delayed the development of Humber Bay East with the result that the site will not be opened until 1979 instead of 1978 as previously planned. However, planning, environmental monitoring, and development has proceeded in other areas as summarized below: Humber Bav West Phase II - the landfilling activities at this site are proceeding very well and in fact are well ahead of schedule. - To date approximately 14 acres of land have been created - the next headland will be ready for pre-armouring with large concrete by November. - plans are presently being finalized for the winter filling operation in a protected area - fill receipts are averaging 400 trucks per day. Humber Bav East - grading of the site is nearing completion and should be finished by mid September - armouring of exterior shorelines is complete and some armour stone is being placed throughout the eastern half of the site for landscaping purposes - Conservation Land Management Division are preparing to place plant material during the fall - 7000 yards of to~soil have been stockpiled on site for use in planting this fall and turf establishment next spring B-456 Page 8 Humber Bay East (contd.) - final designs for the roads and parking lots, site servicing, buildings and landscaping are being prepared. Western Beaches - final designs for the day mooring docks are complete an4 ready for approval by the Ministry of ~atural Resources - plans for dredging of the approach channels to the day mooring docks are nearing completion - the Boulevard Club and Toronto Sailing and Canoe Club have expressed their interest to develop the small bay between the Clubs as a seasonal mooring facility as described in the Authority's master plan. The Authority's involvement would be to dredge the area and construct appropriate protective structures. The design of these components is nearing completion and the Clubs are actively designing the mooring facilities. Ashbridqe's Bav - since the Official Opening on July 5, 1977, the staff have been completing numerous minor deficiencies in preparation for the official transfer of the site to the Metropolitan Toronto Parks Department. Bluffers Phase II - landfilling is proceeding very well and to date approximately 26 acres of land have been created - one headland has already been constructed and the Department of Public Works is armouring the point in accordance with the Small Craft Harbours Assistance Programme - the filling will be completed to another headland by mid September at which time it will also be armoured by the Department of Public Works - plans for the winter filling operation are presently being finalized - plans will soon be underway for the permanent launching ramp and parking lot as well as the topland development which is all scheduled for construction in 1978. B-457 Page 9 Shoreline Manaqement - the terms of reference for the priority study are ready to be submitted to various consultants however this study is being delayed until the funding for the Waterfront Project has been confirmed - the study underway at Crescentwood Parkette is nearing completion. The design work has been done by the Toronto Harbour Commissioners engineering staff and FENCO Consultants Limited. The results of the study should be available by the end of September but construction will probably not proceed until 1978. Environmental Monitorinq - for 1977 the firm of Proctor and Redfern has been retained to do the required analyses. To date their services are satisfactory - the acquisition of a 24-foot workboat has greatly facilitated the monitoring programme and should make late autumn field work much safer and easier - water ~ality monitoring was initiated on April 25 at nine waterfront areas: No. of Monitoring Sampling w.a Freauencv Points Colonel Samuel Bois Smith biweekly 4 Humber Bay West biweekly 3 Humber Bay East monthly 5 Western Beaches biweekly 4 Ashbridge I s Bay monthly 7 Crescentwood Road at biweekly 3 Scarborough Bluffs Bluffers Park I monthly 4 Bluffers Park II biweekly 3 East Point biweekly 5 .. the Western Beaches and Crescentwood Road sites are new areas of monitoring this year. Monitoring in these areas is undertaken in oreparation for development work and shoreline management, respectively B-458 Page 10 - monitoring is being conducted on a biweekly basis at new . sites and areas of active landfilling; at completed sites monthly monitoring provides suff~cient information on water quality - the points at which samples are taken are those established in 1975 and 1976 with only a few minor adjustments made to improve the data information base and permanently establish sampling points for future use - the parameters analyzed for have been modified to upgrade the data base. As in previous years, the following parameters are being measured: temperature, pH, secchi disc, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, Kjeldahl N, total P, fecal coliforms, fecal streptococci, and chlorophyll a. New parameters for 1977 are turbidity, T.S.S., Pseudomonas aeruainosa and total heterotrophic bacteria. In addition, the presence of any odour, oil and scum, and floating debris is being recorded. Total coliform bacteria have been dropped from the monitoring programme after consultation with the Ministry of the Environment and review of the literature - results of the regular water quality monitoring are confirming the water quality trends noted in 1975 and 1976, that is, landfilling has minimal effect on water quality. The influence of rainfall occurring throughout the summer is being noted in the water quality data - regular water quality monitoring will be continued to November. Three intensive sampling programmes have been undertaken at Bluffers in an attempt to determine the effects of park usage (number of people, boats) on water quality. Data collected during these sampling programm~s . will be correlated with data obtained last year on water circulation in embayments. With regard to water circulation in embayments, water temperature in boat launching basin at Bluffers is being continuously monitored in order to establish the frequency of water exchange. These data will aid in designing future embayments to optimize water quality and exchange - the groundwater at Humber Bay East has been sampled once this year and is scheduled to be sampled again this autumn. Groundwater analyses indicated no change in quality from last year and there appears to be no leaching of water from the landfill to the lake B-459 Page 1l Environmental Monitorinq (contd.) - aerial surveillance of the entire waterfront has been undertaken on five occasions. These flights present a pictorial mosaic of the waterfront which will be of use in shoreline management - benthic and sediment quality sampling will be undertaken in October and November. Site Inventories - biological surveys were conducted at East Point, Colonel Samuel Bois Smith 'and Western Beaches. These studies of flora and fauna provide information necessary for environmental assessment and point out unique species and habitat that should be retained - although no unusual species or habitat was found at the Western Beaches or Colonel Samuel Bois Smith, the biological information collected will allow the Authority to develop these areas with minimal disruption to the environment - the importance of these biological surveys to the develop- ment process is apparent in an area such as East Point, which at present is undisturbed by man. Several areas of valuable bird habitat were noted and many bird species, both nesting and passerine, were observed. Sightings were made of a red fox, a raccoon, a cottontail rabbit and many field mice. The area has some unique floral species, including black walnut, prairie blazing star, white bottle gentian, blue fringed gentian, buffalo-berry, prairie panic grass, and ladies-tresses orchid, which should be carefully noted and retained. Boatinq Study Update - boat mooring allocation has been approved by both the Authority and Metro Parks - a public meeting was held July 6, 1977 to discuss the results of the MetroDolitan Toronto Reqion Boatinq Study and to address the allocation of boaters to Humber Bay West Phase II and Bluffers Phase II - approximately 400 people were in attendance B-460 Page l2 Boatinq Study Update (contd. ) - at this time all people interested in mooring at either of the two landfill sites were asked to complete a short questionnaire. A section of this fo~ addressed itself to the qualifications and interest of respondents in the establishment and organization of boat clubs for the two areas - to date the Authority and Metro Parks have received the names of 25 boaters willing to participate in the organization of clubs for Bluffers Phase II and 28 individuals willing to participate in the organization of boat clubs for Humber Bay West Phase II. Many of these boaters have experience in both the establishment and administration of boat clubs - in the interest of fairness and to receive a better cross section of boaters for an Executive Committee for each site, the same questionnaire administered at the public meeting, along with minutes of the meeting was ,mailed to individuals who were not in attendance at the public meeting yet had expressed an interest in mooring their craft at either of the two landfill projects - by early September the Authority and Metro Parks intend to hold two meetings (one for each project) for those boaters interested in serving on the Executive Committee. The intent of this meeting will be to discuss with these individuals greater detail as to the roles of the two public agencies in the creation and operation of boat clubs at the two sites. In addition, at this time, it is hoped that a greater feeling as to the nature of the boaters and their concerns will be gained by the Authority and Metro Parks - after these initial meetings, subsequent general meetings for each site will be convened by late September or early October for all boaters interested in mooring at either of the sites. Details of the boating areas will be discussed and initial steps will be taken by the two : Executive Commdttees to organize boaters into clubs.

Re: Enployees Suggestion Ccmnittee A rceeting of the Enployees Suggestion Ccmni.ttee was held on Tuesday, SepteIrber 6th at 2 p.m. in the administrative office, with the fol1CMing present: Chairman Mrs. L. Hancey Members P. Flood H. Burke Authori ty Vice-Chainnan Mrs. F. Ge11 The follCMing suggestions were considered: Referral fran Previous Meeting 1. Authority Credit Card - J. McCaffrey This suggestion concerned a single credit card be issued to each enployee dri v- ing an Authority owned vehicle. This would be a unifonn card acceptable at all gas outlets. At the present tine police dePartIrents, such as the Ontario Provincial Police, and other agencies have adopted this program. Upon investigating, it is apparent. that our dollar vol\.1Ire of gas transactions through credit cards would not entitle the Auth:>rity to this type of consider- ation by gas suppliers. No award will be gi \/en. 2. Bus Shelters Adjacent to Pioneer Village - B. Tranaine This suggestion concerned the construction of two oversized bus shelters, with one located on Murray Ibss Parkway across from the entrance to the Pioneer Village and one on the south side of Steeles Avenue adjacent to the Pioneer Village. 'Ihese bus shelters were to be constructed of material suitable to tie in to the Pioneer Village. Upon investigating this suggestion it was detenni.ned that bus shelters are indeed required for these two bus stops. However, the Authorities are oot able to consider an oversize shelter at these locations, nor are they prepared to provide a shelter with any deviation fran the constnx::tion nethods. The construction is designed to reduce vandalism and provide the maximum sight vision, ooth for the Tn:: and for the users of the shelters. The Authority staff will investigate further the installation of shelters and consideration for an award will be based on the installation. New Suggestions Considered 1. Purchase Fonn for Arumal Passes - S. Wells This su;Jgestion concerned the development of a fonn consisting of three c:xJPies to be filled out at the tine of purchase of an arumal or seasonal pass. This fonn \\Uuld provide a receipt for the purchaser, a record for the Area selling the pass, and a record for the head office. '!his fonn would assist in the event of a lost or damaged pass being replaced at either the Area or through the head office, and would also provide a list of seasons pass holders that would be included in any prarotion canpaign for Authority facilities or programs. It is reccmnended that this suggestion receive an award of $50.00. 2. Enployees I Identification Card - D. Whelan This suggestion concerned the issuing to all full tine or terrporary enployees of an identification card which would allCM that enployee to assist other staff in errergency situations when off duty and also provide a rceans of identification which would allCM the errployee entry into conservation areas and would reduce the necessity of supplying these errployees with ~sonal windshield passes. This su;Jgestion was considered to be worthy of - a $25.00 award. 3. Grasscrete Products - D. v7. Loker This suggestion con:::erned the use of Grasscrete Products for paths and parking lots at field centres. Since this is not a new idea on the market and the Ccmnittee detennined that this subject is within the requirercents of the position of the person making the suggestion, it is not reconmende:i for an award. -2- B-480 4. Bomanite Concrete Finishes - D. W. lDker This suggestion concerned the use of Bomani te Concrete Finishes. Since this is not a new idea on the market and the Carmittee detennined that this sU:Jgestion is within the requirarents of the position of the person making the suggestion, it is not recarnnendecl for an award. 5. Thenrojet, Fuel Saving Device - D. W. Loker This sU:Jgestion concerns the use of a thenrojet ~r indu:ed oxygen supply to heating plants in Authority buildings. A ccmnittee has been investigating rcethods of reducing fuel consurrption in Authority buildings for sane period of tine . '!his piece of equiprent is not new and sirce this sU:Jgestion is within the requirenents of the position of the person making the suggestion, it is not recornnerrled for an award. 6. Reduce Admissien Rates, Black Creek Pioneer Village - B. Trerraine This suggestion concerned reducing admission rates to the Black Creek Picneer Village during the slack seasons. The Ccmni. ttee considered this suggestion and detennined that although it is an interesting idea, it would cause con- siderable problems and confusion in the minds of the general public, as well as causing problems with the administration of the Pioneer Village. It was not reconmerrled for an award. 7. Public Relations Program - A. Southin This suggestion concerned the developrent of a program to instruct smrmer enployees of the Authority in the developren.t of skills to prarote a better public image of the Authority and related to the answering of the telephone, the greeting of the general public at all locations, and the best way to assist the general public requesting info:rmation. The Ccmni ttee detennined that this suggestion was worthy of consideration, not only for the surrrrer program but also for all errp10yees of the Authority. It is therefore considered worthy of a $25.00 ,award. 8. Visitors Guide, Pioneer Village - D. Fortsch This suggestion concerned the inclusion of the clockmaker/watchmaker' s location in the Mackenzie House in the Visitors Guide to the Black Creek Pioneer Village. R. Cooper advised that the lack of this indication in the early publicatiOns was an oversight and has new been corrected. The Conmittee con- sidered this suggestion and reccmnended that it be considered for a $25.00 award based on the reaction and the foresight of this individuaL 9. Enployee Evaluation Form - D. W. lDker '!his suggestion concerned the develO};lreIlt of an enployee evaluation program and form for all Divisions of the Authority. This type of program has been ongoing wi th the Authority for serre period of tine, and although various fonnats have been evaluated, none have been successful to date. The Suggestion Ccmni. ttee recornnerrl that this suggestion be fOl:warded to the Personnel Sub-Comni ttee of the Autl'ority for their consideration. 10. Advertising, Black Creek Pioneer Village - D. Fortsch This suggestion concerned the installing of a black hat band en the straw hats worn by field enployees at the Village irrprinted in gold lettering "Black Creek Pioneer Village". These hats would also be available for sale through the gift shop. The Suggestion Ccmni. ttee considered the wearing of these straw hats by field ercployees not to be in keeping with the decor of the Village. However, it is suggested that hats with these hat bands should be offered for sale in the gift shop for a trial period. If they are successful the suggest- ion would then be considered worthy of the mininal award of $25.00. 11. Garbage Collection, Conservation Areas - \oJ. Annleder This suggestion concerned the construction of a platform to be attached to trailers in conservation areas Used for the collection of garbage. It is suggested that this facility would inprove the speed of gaIDage collection and reduce the total lift required, particularly by an ever-increasing nunber of female eq>loyees perfonning field duties. AI though the particular design suggested would not appear to be practical, the Suggestion Ccmnittee agreed that this suggestion is worthy of a $25.00 award, and that the suggestion be fOl:warded to the staff Equipren.t Camlittee for rrodification and inplenentation. -3- B-481 12. Interpretation Program, Conservation Areas - W. ADnleder This suggestion concerned the deve10prent of tractor drawn wagon rides inter- preting various aspects of oonservation areas. This program would be oriented toward day canps and overnight canping groups. It would be on the basis of an individual cast to the user to offset the oosts of operation. The carmi ttee detennined that the revenue received fran this program would not offset the costs involved, and during the busy season in conservation areas oould not be operated because of the requirements of the equiptent to be used in maintenance programs. It was therefore not recarmerrled for an award. 13. Group payrcents for Conservation Area Use - H. ~Intosh This suggestion ooncerned the inplarentation on the present picnic pennit fonn of the clarification of the method of payrcent by group picnics. It was deter- mined that there a~tly is no problem in the present operation and this suggestion is oot, therefore, recannended for an award. 14. List of Code of Acco\IDts - R. C. Williams This suggestion con~d the issuing of addendurns when changes or additions are being made to the code of accounts. When these changes are issued they should be on a rreno form rather than changing the cx:rrq:>lete page listing all accounts in that particular acti vi ty. The Suggestion Ccmnittee were concerned that the infonnation provided on a rreno could possibly be misplaced and not included in the code of accounts, and that this fonnat would not provide any cost saving to the Authority through the use of enp1oyees' tine. This suggestion was not recrirmenderl for an award. Mrs. L. Hancey P. B. Flood Chairman Acting Secretary '1'0: Executive Ca:tri.ttee, M. T .R.C.A. , #18/77.

RE: REPORT OF THE PLANNING ACT REVIEW COMMITTEE Staff of the Authority have reviewed this report and have summarized its major recommendations as follows: (i) that the major responsibility for planning decisions should rest with the local municipality; (2, 7, 8, 12) (ii) that provincial interests (which should include conservation and management of the natural environ- men t) in municipal planning should be formally defined by regulation or statute, where possible, and that rather than supervising and approving municipal planning decisions, the province should have the authority to veto those actions in conflict with defined provircial interests; (I, 2 , 3, 5) (ii~) that matters of regional planning interest be defined in policy statements and that regional objections to local municipal planning decisions be made only on the basis of their conflict with defined regional interests; (15, 16, 17, 18) (iv) that, to be more accountable, local planning decisions be made by elected persons; i.e. Council or a committee of Council; (9) ( v) that municipal plans (previously official plan s) not be mandatory, nor have legal status; (19, 20, 21, 22) (vi) that the adoption of a municipal plan or planning , poli~y statements must precede a municipality's exercise of statutory planning authority; (19, 37, 38, 45, 55, 56) (vii) that, where municipalities adopt planning policies satisfactory to the Minister of the Environment, they be assigned authority for environmental assessment of major private undertakings; ( 11) (viii) that the Ontario Municipal Board should serve as an appeal board and not conduct hearings de novo; (28) (ix) that municipalities with adopted plann~ policiea be empowered to enact holding by-laws for properties (such as environmentally sensitive lands) for which it is not feauible to determine the impact of development in ~dvance; further, other zoning improvements, s~ch as bonus zoning and the - 2 - B-499 transfer or purchase of development rights, should be instituted; (37, 39, 5"5) (x) that the Minister should establish, by regulation, those public agencies to be consulted in consider- ing plans of subdivision and the approving authority "have regard" for the comments of those agencies (as opposed to meeting "all requirements"); ( 41) (xi) that, where draft plan approval is given, the approving authority (i.e. the municipality) stipulate the criteria to be used by the agency concerned in determining compliance; (42, 44) (xii) that developers not be required to pay for the capital cost of physical works beyond those required to bring the subject site to a condition suitable for the proposed occupancy; (50) (xiii) that downzoning, without liability for compensation, remain in effect; (55) (xiv) that the price of land conveyed for public purposes by zoning or subdivision agreement be based on its value immediately prior to the da~e of the by-law being enacted or the subdivision plan receiving draft approval; (57 ) (xv) that municipalities may zone private land for public uses on a reserve basis for up to three years. FOllowing that time period the alternative private use (which must also be indicated) will become effective if the municipality has not acquired the property; (56) A summary of all major proposals is attached, for your information. Authority interests with respect to the planning pr~cess, as defined by The Planning Act, can be discussed in three sections: - administration of Ontario Regulation 735/73 (or its successors) ; - conflict with adopted Authority policies or programmes; - a general concern for the "wise use" of land within its area of jurisdiction; Authority Regulation 735/73 sets out specifically Authority requirements respecting building within an area susceptible to flooding during a regional storm, placing fill within the regulated area, and altering a watercourse. The lands regulated are defined by Schedules to the Regulation and a permit may be issued if "in the opinion of the Authority" the proposed works "will not affect the control of flooding or pollutl.on or the conservation of land". The Regulation forms the basis ~f the Authority's comments regarding planning proposals on or adjacent to watercourS29. ----------/3 - 3 - B-SOO The objects of an Authority, as defined by The Conservation Authorities Act, Section 19, are: "to establish and undertake in the area over which , it has jurisdiction, a program designed to further the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources other than gas, oil, coal and minerals. R.S.O. 1970, c. 78, s 19." In order to implement this broad resource management mandate, the Authority, since its inception, has developed and implemented policies and programmes. In reviewing planning proposals, the Authority identifies any conflict between the proposed development and adopted Authority programmes and policies as well as the impact of the proposal on Authority projects. In addition to those interests defined by the Regulation or other adopted policies and programmes, the Authority comments on general matters which, while not defined by legislation or statute, relate to the Authority's broad resource management responsibilities. Such interests as the maintenance and improvement of forest cover, the preservation of certain existing topographic and vegetation characteristics, and the management of solid waste, are valid concerns to an agency possessing this kind of mandate. The Authority, in 1976, made a number of recommendations to municipalities within its area of jurisdiction engaged in the preparation or updating of official plans. These recommendations, . "Conservation Aspects Of Official Plans", identified legitimate resource management concerns which are within the purview of municipal planning. These recommendations have gained support and are being considered as part of the plan preparation process within many of the Authority's member municipalities. The Authority, therefore, is an agency which must be able to comment, on its own behalf, on matters of interest within the planning process. These interests may extend beyond those defined by regulation as a result of the broad resource management responsibilities set out within The Conservation Authorities Act. The Authority, to implement its mandate, must be designated an agency to comment on municipal planning proposals. The Authority as a resource management advocacy body established along watershed boundaries can provide an overview of resource management requirements within its area of jurisdiction, a function which is particularly vital when dealing with flood control and water conservation matters. In administering Ontario Regulation 735/73, or its successors, the Authority, in order to fulfill its responsibilities on a watershed basis, has developed, and is currently updating, technical criteria for the review of planning proposals. To provide for flood control and water conservation within a watershed, the -----------/4 - 4 - B-501 criteria for review must be consistent from municipality to municipality. In order to 'develop and implement a watershed plan, the Authority has been designated the responsibility of establishing and applying such criteria. This technical criteria is not negotiable except as defined by the Regulation (ProposaI41). The Authority is pleased that the Report recognizes the "protection of natural environment and management of natural resources" as valid provincial interests in municipal planning (Proposal 1). However, in initiating changes in The Planning Act to clearly identify this role, the responsibilities of Conservation Authorities under The Conservation Authorities Act must be recognized and provision must be made for a,uthorities to function in the planning process. In addition to the preceding, there are a number of proposals which are also of interest to the Authority. The Committee has proposed a greater use of zoning by-laws as a means of protecting environmentally sensitive areas (Proposal 37) and to enable the acquisition of private lands for public purposes (Proposal 56). There are lands which, because of their physical characteristics, are hazardous for development or require extreme alteration to enable development, alterations which may have severe environmental impact. Where these conditions have been substantiated, the Authority would support the use of holding by-laws as a means of pUblic ~rotection. The Committee has proposed the municipality perform the review of environmental assessments for major private undertakings under The Environmental Assessment Act (Proposal II). This recommend- ation poses certain difficulties in that the Act requires the establishment of a quasi-judicial body which will hear and evaluate technical evidence with respect to the environmental impact of a proposal. It is the opinion of the Authority that such responsibilities should remain with The Minister of the Environment as provided for under the provisions of'The Environmental Assessment Act. RECOMMENDATIONS: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT: The Minister of Housing be advised that the Authority has reviewed the Report Of The Planning Act Review Committee and that prior to the implementation of amendments to the Act, the following be considered: (I ) That Conservation Authorities are empowered under The Conservation Authorities Act with a broad resource management mandate which enables municipalities, within an Authority's jurisdiction, to co-operate to achieve resources management objectives; -------/5 - 5 - B-502 (2) That in order to achieve many of its resource management objectives, the Authority must rely on its participation within the municipal planning process; (3 ) That the Authority has developed technical criteria for reviewing development and planning proposals along the river valleys and the Lake Ontario shoreline within its area of jurisdiction and has adopted policies for the management of these lands. The Planning Act should, therefore, designate the Authority as an agency with the responsibility to comment, on its own behalf, to the approving authority. (4 ) That provision be made for the Authority's resource management objectives to be reflected in planning policies related to the natural resource responsibilities of the regional municipality in order to achieve a consistent approach at the local level of planning. (5 ) That the use of holding by-laws be encouraged as a means of achieving public objectives on any lands which, by their physical characteristics, are hazardous to develop or would require extreme alteration to enable development; (6) That the administration of The Environmental Assessment Act with respect to major private undertakings remain the responsibility of the Minister of the Environment; (7 ) That copies of the Report and Recommendations be forwarded to the area and regional municipalities within the Authority's area of jurisdiction and to The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto.

Henderson Vice-Chairman Mrs. F. Gell Secretary-Treasurer K.G. Higgs At Meeting #21 held on wednesday, October 26, 1977 the Executive Committee had before it for consideration a Report of the Executive Sub-Committee. The following action was taken: "Res. #433 Moved by: Mrs. F. Gel1 Seconded by: Mrs. J.A. Gardner RESOLVED THAT: The Report of the Sub-Committee appointed to prepare a report and recommendations regarding the Hearing of Delegations by the Advisory Boards, the Executive Committee and the Authority be referred back to consider the points discussed at the Executive Committee Meeting held Wednesday, October 26,1977, with a request for a report and recommenda- tions to be submitted to the next meeting of the Executive Committee scheduled for Wednesday, November 9, 1977. CARRIED:" The point of primary concern to the Executive Committee is contained in S.(E) (ii) of the proposed Rules for the Hearing of Delegations, i.e. the right of the Chairman to rule that the Hearing of a delegation be deferred to the next meeting because it would be unfair or prejudicial to hear same because of lack of advance notice. The matter was discussed with the Authority's solicitor, and while it would be preferable to have the ruling of the Chairman in this instance not subject to appeal~ clause E(ii) has been amended to allow the Chairman to be overruled by the meeting. IT WAS AGREED AND THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMEND TO THE AUTHORITY THAT the Rules for the Conduct of the Authority adopted by Resolution #88/75 be enlarged to include Item 5, being a Rule for the Hearing of Delegations as follows: 5 . Rules for the Hearing of Delegations: (A) Any person or organization desiring an opportunity to address the Authority, Executive Committee or any Advisory Board may make a request in writing to the Secretary-Treasurer with a brief statement of the issue or matter involved and indicating the names of the proposed speaker or speakers.

(C) No delegation shall be heard without a ruling by the Chairman of the meeting giving leave but such ruling may be immediately appealed by proper motion and the ruling of the meeting shall govern except that a Representative of a Council of a member municipality of the Authority duly authorized by resolution of such Council shall be heard at the appropriate time as of right. (D) Delegations shall only be heard when the meeting is dealing with the item "Delegations" on the agenda except that the meeting may, at that time, by proper motion defer the hearing of any specific delegation until the meeting is considering a particular item or matter at a later time. (E) With respect to a delegation not listed on the agenda but desiring an opportunity to be heard pursuant to paragraph B(ii) hereof the procedure shall be~ (i) A motion shall be made by a member of the meeting that the delegation be added to the agenda, (ii) If that motion passes but the Chairman immediately rules that the hearing of the delegation would be unfair or prejudicial to members or other persons not present because of lack of advance notice the hearing of the delegation shall be deferred to the next meeting and listed on that agenda pursuant to paragraph B(i) hereof and such ruling may be immediately appealed by proper motion and the ruling of the meeting shall govern, (iii) If such delegation was intending to speak to a specific item or matter on the agenda and the Chairman makes the ruling set out in subparagraph (ii) hereof to defer the delegation then the Chairman shall immediately put to the meeting the question of the deferral of the specific item or matter to the next meeting, (iv) If the ruling in subparagraph (ii) hereof is not made the procedure in paragraph C shall be followed. (F) Except by leave of the Chairman or on appeal by the leave of the meeting delegations shall be limited in speaking to not more than ten (IO) minutes except that a delegation of more than five (5) persons present shall be limited to two (2 ) speakers each limited to speaking not more than ten (IO) minutes.

Re: Carcping Fees for Senior Citirens At neeting #5/77 of the Authority held on Friday, October 7th, the following resolut- ion was adopted: #88 THAT the Executive Camri.ttee investigate the i.rrplenentation of a reduced fee for senior citizens using the overnight carrping facilities of the Authority; and THAT staff report on the estinated inpact of such a policy on Authority revenues and also report on any similar reductions offered by other agencies, with a carrparison sreet shCMing these rates; and further 'l'h; report fran the ExeOlti ve Cam1i ttee be presented to the next neeting of the Authority scheduled for Friday, Noverrber 25, 1977. Present Policies M.T.R.C.A. At the present tine there is no consideration for reduced fees for senior citizens in any of the canpsites operated by this Authority, and the staff have had a ve~ limited nurrber of requests for a reduction. The use of our canpsi tes by this segrrent of the population is presently, at Albion Hills, less than 2%. At the Indian Lire canpground it varies with the tine of year. Spring am fall periods have the highest use with about 10% in the rronths of May and September, and this increases to approxirrately 33% in October. These users are in transit to or fran the southern states and use our Area as a stopover point for the six IlDIlths restriction, or for awaiting warner \'Jeather before going north to Provincial parle canpsites. During the sumrer rronths of June, July and August, their att:endarx:e averages 2 to 4% of the total. Provincial Parks The present po.licy for Provincial parks provides for free use of canpgrounds am hydro connections to senior citizens. There are ~ distinct senior citizen groups that utilize this facility. Q1.e group are those people who use the CdLup:fLol.B1d for a 6 rronths st1I'lll'er location and shift fran park to park on the 28 day limit. 'Ihese users gererally relocate an a tbnday or Tuesday when there are preferred sites available in Provincial parks. The other type of user registers for the full 28 day limit and keeps his trailer in the park for that period of tine, but utilizes the trailer as a sUI11re~ cottage facility on week-ends only. In all cases the hyc1rcr equipped sites are the sites predaninantly occupied by these users. In order to attenpt to control this second type of use, a working procedure in sate parks is to identify upon registration a 5 day limit on pre-paynent for the site, and this effectively eliminates sare of the cottage site uses. In reviewing the price structure for carrping in Provincial parks the staffs have recx:mrended a fee for seniors. The mini.mum fee changes suggested are for the charge for hydro lxx>k-ups. Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority At the present tine the charge for seniors is 50% of the regular canping fees. Credi t Valley Conservation Authority This Authority does not have a price reduction for senior citizens using their canp- grounds . Metro Parks At the present tine Metro Parks do not have a preferred rate for senior citizens and do not intend to prorrote any policy to reduce fees for this group. The present policy of 50% fees for seniors on their golf courses has indicated the problems and inequities that would develop on canpgrounds. In each of the agencies that have canping, the operators of the canpsites irrlicate that the senior citizens using their areas apparently are the people who can rrost afford to pay the going rate. -2- B-S62 catparable Prices in Canping Fees Regular Canp Fees Senior Citizens Provincial Parks $3.50 + SOc hydro Free Metro Parks $4.50 + SOc hydro $4.50 + SOc hydro Central Lake Q'ltario $4.00 $2.00 Credit Valley $5.00 $5.00 - Hiking or Bicycle $2.50 $2.50 MoT.R.C.A. (I) rmian ~ $5.00 + $1.00 hydro $5.00 + $1.00 hydro (2) Albion Hills & Cold Creek $4.00 $4.00 Inpact an Authori ty Revenues Although it is difficult to detennine the full inpact a preferred rate for senior ci tizens using the Autlx>ri ty Cdnlfl9rOunds would have on the total revenues of the Autlx>rity, it could be stated that the present use by seniors would have very little, if any, effect a1 the total revenue program. I believe it is quite evident that establishing a free or reduced rate for seniors in our Areas would cause a substantial reduction in total incxxnes by the developrent of an increased occupancy rate by senior citizens which would, in turn, prevent these sites fran being available to the regular paying custcmar. The majority of the sites at the Indian Line canpgroUl'Xl are filled llOst of the nights during the stmrCer period an:i, as a matter of fact, priIrarily during the llOnth of August llOre overflow sites are used than develq:led sites. At the present tine the late spring and early fall use by seniors does oot appear to be a hardship since we have not received a great nl.1IliJer of ccnplaints about the price structure. It is also apparent fran the prOOlems in:ticated by other agencies that we would increase our operational problems in our canpground programs. The Executive cannittee recxmrends that the present policy for user fees in the canpgrounds operated by The Metropolitan 'Ibronto am Region Conservation Autlx>rity be confinned. P.B.

It is interesting to look back and recall the many problems that beset the launching of the Environmental Studies Centre Project as it was originally named, and the continual anxiety before final approval was received and construction commenced in August, 1976. The Foundation received approval from its Board of Directors and sanctioned by its members to raise 50% or r~25,000.00 of the original estimated cost of $1,050,000.00 for the building and equipment. Accordingly, a fund raising programme was launched at a special press release at the Royal York Hotel on April 12, 1973 and which received wide-spread media coverage. It was at this time that the Canadian National Sportsmen's Show pledged $150,000.00 for the Project on the basis of $50,000.00 a year for a three year period and the name was changed to The Kort- right Centre for Conservation, in honour of Dr. Francis H. Kortri gh t, the founder of The Canadian National Sportsmen's Show and a leading Conservationist of his time. One of the most surprising events in my life was to return to my office expecting to be inundated with immediate cash donations and pledges, only to find that weeks went by before any action was experienced. However, donations began to arrive and it appeared, in a relatively short time, that we were well on the way to our goal when it was discovered there had been an accounting error in the tabulation of our fund raising, wherein $65,000.00 had been credited twice - once as a pledge and again as cash received. There was nothing to do but redouble our efforts and the deficiency was soon overcome. The next negative phase was our request for a matching grant from the Province was turned down. However, it was suggested that an application be made to "Wintario' through the Ministry of Culture and Recreation. Approval was received on April 28, 1976 in the amount of $350,000.00, representing Wintario participation to the extent of one-third of our original estimate of $1,050,000.00 for the Centre. Thi s however caused some problems. It was determined that Wintario would allow 50% of the development costs at The Kortright Centre on work performed prior to December 31, 1975 as a credit which amounted to $325,000.00. Accordingly, a new application was filed with the Minister of CUlture and Recreation projecting the revised cost as $1,575,000,00, including the building contract, furniture and fixtures, displays, architect fees and development. Approval was received from Wintario on August 16, 1976 increasing their participation to $525,000.00, the Foundation to provide $525,000.00 and the balance to be provided by the Authority by the credit of $325,000.00 for prior development costs and $200,000.00 to be transferred from revenue. -3- B-618 All these problems were overcome. The construction contract was awarded to Fairwin Construction Company and work on the building commenced on August 18, 1976. No really serious problems were encountered. The winter of 1976-1977 was one of the worst on record, which impeded progress to some extent. Then some of the beams were lost because of a snow storm in Buffalo. The Electricians' strike in early Fall caused a delay of over two months. Despite all this, the building was turned over to us on November 30, 1977 in an excellent house-keeping condition and with a nominal overrun in cost. We have been advised by Wintario that a new application may be filed in the New Year, which already has verbal approval, to include the overrun, special allowances for building inclusions (such as the elevator) for the physically handicapped, adjustments for a 50% allowance on furniture and equipment and an additional $190,000.00 to cover 1978 expenditures for equipment and exhibits and displays. This application is in the process of preparation. The circle has now been completed and I have the pleasure of turning over the key to The Kortright Centre for Conservation building to the Chairman of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority - Mr. Chairman.

Al though these reports were oot carpleted in the tine span available, they are at the point of a v.urking draft and can be utilized. Conservation Areas Operations During the winter seven Conservation Areas were open to the public. All Areas except Milne were open with the beginning of the trout season, April 30. During this period all Areas have been involved with routine maintenance operations, inc100ing equiprent and machinery repair in preparation for the sumrer season. During the winter the major activity was the ski program at the Albion Hills Area. '!his program was highly successful with the week-day school program being booked every day to mid March. Week-end attendar.ce resulted in alm:>st a:::n;p1ete use of available rental equiprrer.t. The main spring program, the Bruce's Mill maple syrup dem.:mstration, unfortunately was not as successful as previous yeeIs. 'Ibtal attendance for this program was do.vn approximately 6600 people over the 1976 atterrlance. The opening of the trout season on April 30th was very well attended at Albion Hills, Glen Haffy, Heart Lake, Bruce's Mill, Green\\OOd and Clarem::mt. catches at Heart lake of several 16" trout indicate that the fish kill last A\.J1USt was not ronplete, as far as the trout population was ooncemed. To offset the problem, 350 10" - 12" rainl:ow trout were stocked fran the Glen Haffy hatchery prior to ~ opening of the season. Addi tional stocking for Heart lake eJ<pected fran the Ministry of Natural Resources was not forthcaning due to a sh:>rtage of available fish. All fourteen Conservation Areas were open for the S1..IIllrer season as of the Victoria Day holiday week-end. The camping programs at C1airevi11e, Albion Hills and Cold Creek were also opened at this ti.1re. Conservation area staff have been prinari1y involved during the sumrer season with routine maintenance operations. The carrping programs at Albion Hills and Cold Creek ronc1uded in mid September. The Indian Line canpground closed for the season at the end of October with an increase of approxiIrate1y 7000 camper days over the 1976 season. Glen Haffy, ~ridge, Palgrave, Milne, C1arerront, Petticoat Creek arx:l Humber Trails Conser- vation Areas closed for the winter season at the end of October. During the fall, preparations were made for the a:mrencerrent of the Albion Hills ski program. Operation began in early Decanber and to date there has been awroximate1y a 10% increase in this program. The Green~ and Bruce's Mill ski program was organized in preparation for c:cnll1t:llcerrent in early 1978. It was necessary to install a new bridge deck and sane supporting rrembers on the main road bridge at Bruce's Mill. The winter period proved to be the best for several years, and attendance figures and revenues reflect the increased use. Attendance to May 1st increased 20,598 or 13% over the same period in 1976. The sumer season has also been a good one despi te the seoond poorest August attendance on rerord. Attendance fran May 1 to August 31 has increased 78,621 or 8.7% over the same period in 1976. Attendance for the period September 1 to Decerrber 31 has decreased 221,434 or 13.5% over the rorresponding period in 1976. The total 1977 attendance in Conservation Areas increased 69,346 or 5.3% over 1976. 1977 1976 Albion Hills 185,322 193,326 Black Creek 291,785 297,844 Boyd 183,333 180,706 Bruce's Mill 155,389 140,383 C1airevi11e 82,977 62,571 Clarerront 27, 714 24,259 Cold Creek 56,261 54,205 Glen Haffy 55,572 52,900 Green~ 58,747 56,941 Heart Lake 122,912 118,008 Humber Trails 2,256 3,165 Milne 35,942 38,326 Petticoat Creek 63,292 39,806 Woodbridge 19,491 16,190 Indian Line Campground 43,251 36,268 Total 1,384,244 1,31~,898 B-648 -3- COnservation Sel:vices Program Peforestation '!his year 38,100 reforestation trees were planted for private landowners under the Private Reforestation Program.

Financial caments Conservation Areas Deve10prrent 97% of the blrlgetted deve10prrent for Conservation Areas was a:mpleted. Fall rains and early sno.Y' fall prevented the carp1etion of our ground deve10pnents in fencing at Heart Lake and trails bridge oonstroction at Petticoat Creek. Conservation Areas Operation The 1977 reven\E blrlget was exceeded by $58,500, with all Areas except Boyd, Heart Lake and Htmber Trails surpassing revenue estina tes. Of these Areas, only Heart Lake was significantly be1o.Y' the revenue estimate. The najor factor for the excellent revenue picture was the Albion Hills ski program. Good winter and early s\.1ltirer attendance at all Conservation Areas also assisted. Expenditure exceeded budget estimates by $123,000. At the Clairevi11e Area mmicipal water acoounts for the previous two years, general utilities, vehicle and machinery rentals, najor refreshrrent bcx:)th repairs and vandalism resulted in $ 34,000 over- spending. Major unanticipated increases in insurance oosts and taxes, water and sewage charges relating to the p:01 operation, and vehicle and nachinery rentals at the Petticoat Creek Area resulted in $33,000 overspending. '!he other najor over- spending occurred at Albion Hills due to the ski program. This overspending was rrore than offset by the increased revenue generated by the ski program. Conservation Services The decline in the Reforestation Assistance Program has resulted in a decrease of reven\ES to 48% of anticipated. The Fann Tree Program, l'xJv.ever, CXJl1tinues to be popular and resu;1.ted in 106% of the budgetted revenues. The demand for the Streambank Erosion Control Program oontinued to be quite high and indicates a substantial increase in reven\ES, with the operating oosts remaining oonstant.

However, both gate revenue and gift shop sales show an increase over 1976. The decline can be attributed to a decrease in American visitors and p or weather during the fall and winter season. Most other major Toronto attractions had very sizable decreases. The Citizenship Program in 1977 had a total of 699 members, down somewhat from last year. The Dickson Hill School Program was fully booked through 1977 and 33 classes were able to participate in this week-long educational program Temporary staff hired under the Canada Works Proqram and O.C.A.P. have continued to assist the Village through the fall season.

The Information and Education operations are on target. The Authority budgetted $97,000 for 1977 Information and Education operations, with an anticipated Culture & Recreation museum grant of $12,000, leaving a net cost for all programs of $85,000 to be raised through municipal levy. The actual net cost is $84,634 or about .5% under budget. Variations from budget estimates included a loss of $15,000 on farm operations projected to break even in 1977. This deficit was more than offset by a highly efficient food operation which was $30,000 below budget. B. The Water and Related Land Management - Community Relations Program (W10) combines both the non project elements and the Information and Education development. The non project elements are on target. The expenditure on development is somewhat over budget as a result of the construction of the Kortright Centre for Conservation being over-estimated in 1978 and an equivalent under-estimate in 1977. It is anticipated that revenue will be in excess of current commitments. C. The Conservation and Recreation Land Management - Conservation Area Information and Interpretive Program (C3 ) expenditures are on target. T. E.

Meeting #27/77 RE: Water Resource Division Progress Report From September 1, 1977 to December 31, 1977 Page -9- Boating Along The Waterfront 1977 was an active year for the establishment of boating along the Metropolitan Toronto Region waterfront. It saw the use of Humber Bay West Phase II for interim mooring and the creation of boating federations for Humber Bay West and Bluffers Waterfront Areas. A group known as the Etobicoke Humber Boating Federation was permitted to establish approximately 40 moorings behind the advancing fill of Humber Bay West Phase II. This was the first time that interim mooring was established behind an active Authority landfill and the experiment proved quite successful. The Etobicoke Humber Boating Federation has prepared a report on interim mooring for the 1977 season at Humber Bay. This report has been attached to the communication for the inform- ation of the Board. Major steps were taken in 1977 to see the formal establishment of boating groups at the Humber Bay West and Bluffers sites. A general meeting was held in July to inform the public of the Authority's and Metro Park's intent for boating in the future along the waterfront. Two subsequent meetings were held for those interested in boating at Humber Bay and Bluffers respectively. From these meetings two boating federations were born. As it was to be the first year of operation, the Authority and Metro Parks appointed 10-man steering committees for the Federations to serve as a small liason group for the public agencies and to take an active role in bringing the Federations up to operational status. Both Steering Committees have proven very successful to date and are actively recruiting members and enquiring as to the desires for the site. As well, the Humber Bay Steering Committee has already had one formal meeting with interested boaters, while the Bluffers Steering Committee is presently working with Authority staff in the finalization of interior shorelines for the site. lllso, Metro Parks has recently prepared draft charters for the Boating Federations which will serve to legally establish them. A copy of the draft charter for ~he Humber Bay Federation has been attached.
