CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY; A -10 - 10 - ADJOURNMENT On Motion, the Meeting adjourned at 6:3 p.m. Dr. G. Ross Lord F. L. Lunn Chairman Secretary- Treasurer r SCHEDULE "A" - 11 - RFPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN to the ANNUAL MEETING of THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO & REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY February 2nd, 1967 A -11 A front page article in the January 18th, 1967, issue of the Globe & Mail bore the caption "A 10 -Year Authority That's 5 Years Behind ". The article stated that the Metropolitan Toronto & Region Conservation Authority, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary this month, is just half -way to its goal set ten years ago. The article went on to say that the Authority has found itself trapped by sky- rocketing land costs and spiralling construction costs which have all but halted the flood control scheme. It did point out that more than a million persons visited the twelve existing Conservation Areas in 1966, and nearly seven million persons attended the Areas in the ten years since the Authority was formed in 1957. The above article is referred to not because I agree with all of the views expressed, but mainly because it indicates a healthy attitude towards our achievements. A really live organization can never be quite satisfied with what has been accomplished, just as a man looking back on his life can point out the many things left undone. Huwever, when the record of this Authcrity is examined, the accomplishments during its relatively short ten years of life are quite impressive. LAND: I have often stated that land is one of the chief assets of an Authority. Any Authority, in acquiring land, should take advantage of the topographical and land use features which exist in its region. The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has within its one - thousand - square -mile area, several rivers which, while small individually, have features which provide special conservation attractions. The river gradients in general are steep. This has led, in time, to the development of deep river valleys in many of the streams. The valleys are usually subject to flooding and therefore not suitable for building development. However, nature has often clothed them with trees and grassy slopes which make them naturally beautiful and prime areas for conservation use. The Authority has therefore made it a policy to acquire the valley lands up to the top of the valley slopes. • In addition to the valley and flood plain lands, the Authority has acquired certain headwater lands known as Conservation Areas. Other lands have been purchased to round out the flood control reservoirs. The land acquisition programme in the last ten years has been a rather successful one. In 1957 the Authority acquired about two thousand acres from the previous Valley Authorities. At the end of 1966 the land holdings stood at 17,300 acres. The lands assembled in 1966 are listed in Table I and the total holdings are shown in Table II.

Wilderness areas are very fine and very necessary. However, the thought of an enormous land filled with a vast number of wilderness areas just leaves me cold. If conservation means anything, it means preserving the bea;:ties of nature for the appreciation, edification and rejuvenation of people. One of the sad things about r,ur affluent society is that we are acquiring motor cars, high rise apartments, pavements, computers, and all other gadgets at such a rate that the average man (and more important -- the average boy or girl) finds it harder and harder to discover a few acres of untrammelled nature wherein he can stop for a while and renew his soul. While our Authority has been able to acquire over 17,000 acres of Land in ten years, this large parcel.of open space is not neavly enough for future needs. By the year 1980, this total simply must grow to 35,000 acres. Our Metropolitan Region is developing rapidly, and we woutd not wish it otherwise. The Population growth is exceeded by only two other cit.:es on the continent. Since, in this report, we are both look- ing back over the past ten years and also Looking ,:read, it is well to record the population listing of the Region again, and compare it with the Province and the country.

The projected growth of our area indicates that the population will be in the neighbourhood of 4,000,000 by the year 2000. This growth, with the acoipanying prosperity poses both a challenge and a problem to the Authority. The challenge is to acquire the necessary open space to provide living room for the bursting population of the metropolis. The problem is to find the money to buy the expensive land while it is still obtainable. I have pointed out before that rapid urban development places great pressures upon the Authority to acquire conservation lands as they become available. It will be necessary for the Authority to study and seek a solution for the land acquisition problem as soon as possible. FINANCING: When I was approached nine years ago to accept the Chairmanship of the Authority, I raised the question of financing. It was clear to me that an Authority without proper financing was about as futile and ineffective as a ship without a rudder. In the intervening years I have come to appreciate the solid financial support provided by our partners -- the municipalities and the Provincial Government. As is generally well known, the Provincial Government supplies 50% of our funds and the 23 municipalities the other half. For flood control dams and reservoirs, the Government of Canada enters as a partner -- supplying 372% of the funds, the Province of Ontario contributing 372%, and the Authority 25%. A partial record of the financing for the past ten years is interesting, for the record.

A careful examination of the above abbreviated financial statement well indicated that the Authority has spent a considerable sum of money. I believe that it has spent the money prudently and has steadily added to its assets both in the form of land and in improvements to areas and flood control structures. In spite of the record of the past ten years, I again state that a drastic reorganization of our financing in connection with flood control projects is required, The reason for this will be discussed later. A -14 EDUCATION: - 14 - Conservation work cannot be lastingly effective unless it incorporates an educational connotation in its programme. The necessity for education in natural resources applies most urgently to the young. Many of the things which have brought about the necessity for conservation measures such as denuding of forests, soil erosion, pollution and flood catastrophes have occurred because of past procedures which may have seemed expedient at the time. Only education will ensure that future generations will be knowledgeable and eager enough to use and preserve our resources for the use of all of the people for all time. Thus, the Conservation Authority has been interested in conservation education since its formation. Many thousands of brochures have been published; hundreds of illustrated lectures have been given; nature. hikes, tours and demonstra- tions have been held. Undoubtedly the most outstandingly successful educational project has been the Albion Hills Conservation School.. This School, constructed in the Albion Hills Area, three years ago, was largely financed through donations made to the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation. Since that time, the School has been attended by nearly five thousand students in the 5 -day programme and by almost three thousand in week -end programmes. In addition, nearly six hundred have taken part in the summer programme, and many teachers and student teachers have assisted in the programmes. Several school boards in the area are contemplating the construction of natural science schools which will lead to a greatly expanded programme. RECREATION: The Conservation Areas have provided the people of the region with pleasant open spaces adapted to recreation of a type differing from most other park areas. In general, the Areas are near the headwaters of streams and include, beside the stream, rolling hills and treed slopes. Some Areas provide swimming which is very popular. The attendance at the Areas has grown steadily and reached over one million visitors in 1966. It is interesting to note the distribution of attendance in the various Areas and the total visitation since 1957.

This Area, when completed, in a few years will be capable of accommodating fifteen to twenty thousand people and should be very popular. In the Glen Haffy Area fishing has been provided and a fish hatchery is operated at the site. - 15 - A -15 HISTORIC SITES: The Black Creek Pioneer Village continues to be a feature attraction in the Metropolitan area. Attendance in 1966 was 144,263 and some 27,6$0 school children participated in school tours. The Village has become a major educational facility connected with pioneer life. It is planned that an increased attendance of school children will be accommodated in 1967. The Authority plans to have the Village officially opened with an appropriate cererrony'in.1967. The Roblin Flour Mill and the Half Way House should both be completed by early summer. With the completion of these two significant structures, the Village will finally take on the appearance of a cross -roads settlement in 'Upper Canada, of the vintage of 1800 to 1867. REFORESTATION & LAND USE: Since its inception, your Authority has carried out a programme of Conservation Services. We have planted 1,400,000 trees on our own lands and 3 -1/3 million on private lands at a nominal charge. A Farm Tree Replacement Programme was instituted in 1963 in order to assist farmers in the replacement of elm trees lost through the Dutch Elm disease. In this Programme 11,300 shade trees have been planted. In addition, 700 farm ponds were engineered and 200 subsidized before the Department of Agriculture took over this field. Other programmes have included tile drainage assistance and farm planning demonstrations. An interesting subsidiary planting programme has been developed through our own nursery. The nursery has raised 180,000 shrubs which were planted in the Conservation Areas to provide wildlife habitat. FLOOD CONTROL: On October 14th and 15th, 1954, Hurricane Hazel swept over the Toronto region, dropping its heaviest concentration of almost nine inches of rainfall in 48 hours on the Humber Watershed. In the storm and flooding, 81 people lost their lives and over $25 millions of property damage resulted. Eighteen hundred homes were disrupted in varying degree. It was, therefore, not surprising that the newly constituted Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, in 1957, began to plan for flood control. The preparation of the plat and the processing of it through the Authority, Municipalities, Provincial and Federal Governments, took considerable time. It was not until June 14, 1961, that agreements were signed between the Government of Canada, the Province of Ontario and the Authority, for the implementation of the comprehensive Plan For Flood Control & Water Conservation. The flood control measures recommended in the Plan consisted of a series of dams and reservoirs to impound floodwaters, the improvement of stream channels at critical points and the acquisition of some 7,600 acres of vulnerable flood plain lands. These lands would also serve a dual purpose as recreation lands. In addition to the flood control objective, the Plan also envisaged: (1) Regulation of summer flow as a pollution abatement measure; (2) Use of permanent lakes in reservoirs as artificial water recreation areas; (3) Control of bank erosion to reduce silting and to prevent destruction of valleys; (4) Provision of a ring of water supply services around the Metropolitan A -16 - 16 - Toronto Area for emergency purposes; (5) It was hoped that the water control measures would help to maintain and improve the ground water supply, especially in headwater areas where wells are still important. The cost sharing agreement for the Plan For Flood Control And Water Conservation is as follows: Large Dams & Reservoirs, u hannel Improvements & Black Creek 9,000,000 9,000,000 6,000,000 24,000,000 Small Dams & Reservoirs 1,300,000 1,300,000 2,600,000 Flood Plain Lands 6,150,000 6,150,000 12,300,000 TOTAL 9,000,000 16,450;000 13,450,000 38,900,000 TABLE VII Canada Ont rio Authority Total The works were to be carried out over a 10 -year period, from 1961 to 1970, with provision for an extension of this period if necessary. In the original proposal of the Authority, the governments were asked to participate in the whole Plan to the extent of 75% of the cost. Since the Government of Canada agreed only to participate in the building of large dams and certain channel improvements, the actual commitment for funds for the 10 -year period was as follows: Canada Ontario Authority Total $9,000,000 $12,807,000 $9,540,320 $31:.347,320 On this basis of financing over a 10 -year period, there is a deficiency of $7,552,6$0. of which 50% -- in the amount of $3,776,340. is the responsibility of the Authority. In order to partially close this financial gap, the Authority approached the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto with a plan to purchase flood plain lands to co- ordinate with the Metropolitan Plan For Regional Parks Development. The proposed increased levy from Metropolitan Toronto and each of the other municipalities for a 5 -year period is as follows' TABLE VIII Municipality MetropDlitan Toronto Ajax, Town of Brampton, Town of Richmond Hill, Town of Bolton, Village of Caledon East. Village of Markham, VilLage of Pickering, Viilage of Stouffville, Village of Woodbridge, Village of Adjala, Township of Albion. Township of Caledon, Township of Chinguacousy, Township of King, Township of Markham, Township of Mono, Township of Pickering, Township of Toronto, Township of Toronto Gore, Township of Uxbridge Township of Vaughan, Township of Whitchurch, Township of TOTAL Proposed Additional Levy (X5) $ 423,000.00 742.16 2,55$.61 2,299 0$ 6$6.54 122.$5 740.31 277.41 526.$0 1,143.00 33.$$ 6$0.57 101.42 $17.94 1,261,10 2,725.52 31.13 2,71$.0$ 2,649.05 326.01 170.34 6,052 35 491 02 $ 450,155.17 - i7 - A -17 This additional assessment would provide, with the Govern- ment share, an additional $4,500,000. for flood plain land purchases in the next five years. Since the signing of the agreement, the Authority has proceeded to implement the Plan in accordance with the procedures outlined by the Provincial and Federal Governments, The Authority soon found that the scheduling of proposed works and land acquisition had, of necessity, to be flexible in order to cope with rapidly increasing construction costs; susbstantial increases in land values and rapid urban expansion in the Region. A total of $15,L00 :000, had been expended in the 5 -year period to December 31st, 1965, This represents roughly 50% of the approved financial commitment of the municipalities for the 10 -year period. It is now quite clear that the total Plan For Flood Control & Water Conservation, as originally conceived, cannot be completed within the existing financial limitations of the Agreement signed by the Federal and Provincial Governments and representations are being made to have the Agreements up- dated. The work carried out to date on the Plan can be briefly summarized as follows: (a) Large Dams & Reservoirs: The Claireville Dam has been completed and the final engineerinP completed on the Finch Dam. The Finch Dam should go to tender this spring. Preliminary engineering has been completed on the Ebenezer, Bolton, Nashville, King Creek; Boyd and Willowdale Dams. The Woodbridge Channel has been completed and the York Mills Channel construction will start immediately. The land requirement for this section is 9.615 acres, of which 4,510 acres have been acquired; 5,100 acres are yet to be acquired. (b) Black Creek Channel: The Black Creek Channel has been largely completed in eight different contracts. The constructed Channel totals 3.2 miles and includes a rock - filled retardation dam. The expenditure to date on this work is $4,901,850,19. Any further work on the stream must await the extension of Highway 400 southerly. (c) Small Dams: Preliminary engineering on the Snelgrove, Arthur Percy, and Clarke's Hollow Dams has been completed. The construction of the Milne Dam and the rJtouffville Dam should commence in the spring. Much of the effort connected with the small dams has gone to purchasing the necessary lands. The total required is 1,$55 acres, of which 1,015 acres have been purchased and $40 acres must still be obtained. (d) Flood Plain Lands: Considerable progress has been achieved in the purchase of flood plain lands. Of the total 7,535 acres required, 3,134 acres, involving 397 properties, have been acquired. Of the remaining 4,400 acres, about 400 acres are under expropriation. Almost half of the remaining flood plain land is owned by municipalities who have been requested to turn the lands over to the Authority for a nominal sum. The latest tenders for proposed dams indicate that construct= ion costs have risen from 30% to 50% since 1959. Land costs in the Metropolitan Region have also risen in an alarming way. We, therefore. are certain that the entire schedule cannot be completed at th*e cost estimates of 1960. Your Authority is making representations to government to have the agreements re- negotiated in line with existing conditions. THE AUTHORITY: 1 have often discussed the constitution, jurisdiction and sphere of responsibility of The Metropolitan Toronto & Region Conservation A -1$ - 1$ - Authority, Again, events of the past year have indicated that very many people -- including some members of the Authority -- have not a clear understanding of the position of the Authority in the Metropolitan Toronto and Region picture The Conservation Authority is not a Department of the Corporation of Metropolitan Toronto and, because of its wider regional responsibilities; could not possibly function as such., The Authority is a corporate body in itself, constituted under The Conservation Authorities Act of The Province of Ontario, Its area jurisdiction is one thousand square miles, including and extending far beyond the Municipal- ity of Metropolitan Toronto. Metropolitan Toronto has an area of 240 square miles. Therefore, while Metro has 91% of the people in the Region, it constitutes only 25% of the land area. As land is one of the major assets of the Authority, the 22 municipalities outside Metro have a great contribution to make to the success of the conservation enterprise All ' of the municipalities share in proportion to population in financing land acquisition, flood control, erosion control, pollution abatement, reforestation, education in natural science and historical sites restoration. The fifty -five Authority members have served on the Executive Committee, Watershed Advisory Boards and Functional Advisory Boards.. During the year 1966, there were five meetings of the Authority; 23 meetings of the Executive Committee and 65 meetings of Advisory Boards; Sub - Committees and Special Committees Many members of the Authority have served the cause of conservation for a long time -- some since the Authority was formed This year a number of members are completing their terms of office with the Authority. To each of these, we would express our sincere thanks for the great contribution made. They will be remembered individually by their colleagues and will always remain members of the conservation family. THE FUTURE: The Authority still has a tremendous job to do in this vital area of Canada. The rapid growth in population imparts a demanding urgency to our task. The Flood Control Plan must be pressed forward as quickly as possible, within the limits of the funds available. In order to accomplish this end; a re- negotiation of agreements is necessary, because of escalated construction and land costs, While the Authority has acquired over 17,000 acres of land, it will be necessary to increase our holdings steadily to a minimum total of 35,000 acres in the next fifteen years. This acreage is necessary to accommodate the people who will be in the area by that time The Black Creek Pioneer Village must be completed, to fulfill its function as an educational and historic facility in the Region. This will cost in the neighbourhood of one - quarter million dollars The natural science educational programme of the Authority must be extended. This will mean the enlargement of the Albion Hills Conservation School, to accommodate two school classes and the addition of facilities for teacher training. While we now have eleven Conservation Areas in operation, they are being used, generally to capacity, by the one million visitors attending them each year. It will, therefore, be necessary to develop Areas such as Claireville and Lake St. George, so that a new Area may be opened to the public at least every two years. There will be a continuing programme of reforestation and the development of Wildlife Areas to be carried out. In addition conservation services programmes in the upper reaches of the Region must be continued. - 19 - . A -19 With the ever - increasing pressure of urbanization, it will be necessary for the Authority to continue to press for pollution control and' the proper disposal of garbage and industrial wastes. Erosion control will also become a more troublesome problem, as storm drainage facilities channel rain water to the rivers in a more concentrated fashion. It therefore appears that the work of the Authority is never ending and, in fact, will never be completed. If we are to accomplish our objectives, the demands on each individual member will require a dedication of outlook and steadfastness of purpose. Sound conservation practices in any sector of the Region will benefit city and rural people, east and west, and the whole area of one thousand square miles is, in fact, a conservation unit, predicated upon its river watersheds. I have often been asked what manner of people conservation- ists are and have concluded that very many Canadians are conservation minded. Our liking for the open coumtry and the lakelands can be confirmed any weekend in summer by noticing the northward trek on Highway 400. Basically, I feel that we all believe that.. "There is a presence and an influence in Nature and the Open which expands the mind and causes brigand cares and worries to drop off -- whereas, in the confined places, foolish and futile thoughts of all kinds swarm like microbes to cloud and conceal the soul."

Lunn, Secretary- Treasurer Metropolitan Toronto & Region Conservation Authority Box 720, Woodbridge, Ontario PROPOSED EXTENSION OF THACKERAY LANDFILL SITE OUR FILE NO. 1621.00 On January 24, the Metropolitan Works Committee considered and approved the attached report on the "Extension of Thackeray Landfill Site" (Item No. $ of Report No. 1), which will come before the Metropolitan Executive Committee on January 31 and the Metropolitan Council on February 7 next. As an early decision on this matter would be very desirable, we hereby make application on behalf of the Metropolitan Corporation, subject to concurrence by the Metropolitan Council, for approval of the extension of the Thackeray Landfill site. As shown on the attached plan, a buffer strip will be .provided around the periphery of the site. Inside the buffer strip a ditch will be constructed to collect all flow from water courses, etc., draining towards the site and divert it directly to the Humber River. Drainage tile will be installed within the site to collect any seepage, so that it may be controlled and pumped to our sanitary sewer, if necessary. Details of this work will be determin- ed at a later date, and after information has been obtained from the operation of the system to be installed in the section south of the C.N.R. The Township of Vaughan Council has given considerable attention to our request and has indicated that an answer will be given to us before February 7. We would appreciate your consideration of this matter at the earliest opportunity. Mr. D.P. Scott or myself will be pleased to attend the meeting of your Executive and /or Authority to answer questions, etc. dps:ma (SGD) R.L. CLARK Encls. Commissioner of Works cc: Mr. M. Walkinshaw, Ontario Govt. Dept. of Health Mr. J.M. McDonald, Clerk, Township of Vaughan James F. MacLaren Limited METROPOLITAN WORKS DEPARTMENT January 19, 1967 WORKS COMMITTEE (Item No. $ of Report No. 1) Extension of Thackeray Landfill Site By adoption of Clause No. 5, Report No. 35 of the Executive Committee, Metropolitan Council approved the Thackeray land- fill site which was recommended in the First Interim Report on Refuse Disposal in the Metropolitan Area. -7- A -30 In connection with the establishment of the Thackeray Site, the following recommendations were approved: " (a) that authority be granted to apply to the Township of Vaughan for approval to use the portion of the Thackeray site within Vaughan for the purpose of a sanitary landfill; (b) that authority be granted to apply to the Township of Etobicoke for approval to use the portion of the Thackeray site within Etobicoke for the purpose of a sanitary landfill; (c) that authority be granted to request approval from the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to use the Thackeray area for the purpose of a landfill and for permission to fill the portion of the area owned by the Authority; (d) that authority be granted to negotiate with the C.N.R. and /or the Township of Etobicoke for the purchase or in the alternative to lease for filling purposes their land within the Thackeray site; (e) that authority be granted to acquire, by expropriat- ion or otherwise, any lands required for the landfill project, including the new right -of -way for Steele's Avenue adjacent to the site; (f) that authority be granted for this Department, to- gether with the Metropolitan Planning, Roads and Traffic Commissioners to negotiate with the Townships of Vaughan and Etobicoke, the Toronto and York Roads Commissioners, Department of Highways, the Metro- politan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, and the C.N.R. to establish the future alignment of Steele's Avenue in the vicinity of the Thackeray site; (g) that in the event agreement cannot be reached between the Metropolitan Corporation and the Townships of Vaughan and /or Etobicoke, authority be granted to request approval of the Thackeray landfill scheme by the Ontario Municipal Board in accordance with Part IV A, Section 73a Sub - section (3) (b), of The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Act as amended by Bill $1, 1966. " Because of the emergency of recent developments, the follow- ing letter, dated January 13, 1967 was sent to the Clerk of the Township of Vaughan: " On October 27, 1966, we wrote you making formal ap- plication on behalf of The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto for approval by the Township of Vaughan to construct a sanitary landfill on the Thackeray site, bounded on the north -west by the C.N.R., on the east by the Humber River and on the south by Steeles Avenue, as re- aligned. In setting out the points to be considered by the members of your Council, in Paragraph 1, we stated - f When our Consulting Engineers submit their final report, it may be recommended that additional areas for this purpose in your Township be acquired. " Although their final document is not completed as yet, our Consulting Engineers, James F. MacLaren Limited, now inform us that they will be recommending in their A -31 -8- Report on Refuse Disposal in the Metropolitan Planning Area that the Thackeray site be increased by extending a considerable distance north of the C.N.R. bypass railway, between the Humber River and the 8th Concession (Martin Grove). We feel that in fairness to your Municipality this enlargement should be considered byyouur Council at the same time that our present application is being processed. We therefore would appreciate your formal approval or otherwise to the extension of the Thackeray site north of the C.N.R., as shown on the accompanying plan. Such approval if given would be subject to acceptance by the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority who have not yet had the opportunity of dealing with this subject. You will appreciate that development of a large site as proposed will justify the provision of a large buffer strip as an attractive protection for the adjacent property. In addition, only a comparatively small portion of the site will be used as an active landfill at any one time. The balance of the property will be maintained as open space and can be used, in addition to the buffer strip, by the neighbouring residents. The active portion of the site would be securely fenced until it was completed and ready to be turned over to the Conservation Authority for main- tenance. This proposal will provide for a great advance in the technique of sanitary landfill in this country. We are satisfied that the most effective methods of handling the mounting problem of refuse disposal can be developed at such a site, to the benefit of all the surrounding municipalities. In addition, a sizeable area of open space will be preserved for citizens of the future. Your consideration of this revised scheme in addition to the original application will be most appreciated. As indicated earlier, Mr. D.P. Scott or myself will be glad to attend the meeting of your Council when this application is being considered. " M M " We request the concurrence of your Committee in the action taken by sending this letter to Vaughan Town- ship, and further recommend as follows, that: - 1) the Thackeray site be extended as shown in the plan which will be placed before your Committee; 2) authority be granted for expenditure of $1,500,000 for acquisition and preliminary development of lands required for the ex- tension of the Thackeray site; 3) authority be granted to the appropriate Metropolitan officials to take any action necessary to give effect to the recom- mendation with respect to this extended site, including items (a) (c) (e) (g) in the original report quoted herein. The Commissioner of Finance recommends that this project be financed by debentures having a term of 20 years. Funds have been included in the proposed 1967 Capital Works Programme to cover this expenditure. bd 1621.00 (Signed) R.L.Clark Commissioner of Works „ -9- A -32 THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE THEREFORE RECOMMENDS THAT: The request from The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto for the extension of the Thackeray Landfill Site, as outlined in Item No. $ of Report No. 1 of the Metro- politan Works Committee, as adopted by Metropolitan Council February 7, 1967, be approved in principle, for that portion proposed to be carried out on Authority owned land; and further, THAT the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto be advised that we have no objection to the extension of the site as proposed, subject to the approval of final plans: - Referred back to the Executive Committee by Res. #32 for study by the Flood Control and Water Conservation Advisory Board and report to a special meeting of.the Authority. 7.

In addition to the above, the Authority paid Gardiner Roberts et al $20.00 for the collection of an account and $100.00 for the drafting of two agreements. The $20.00 item was charged to the administration of the Conservation Area involved and the $100.00 was recoverable - $65.00 from the Board of Education, Borough of Etobicoke and $35.00 from the Consumers' Gas Company. A brief summary of the above is as follows: (1) Fees paid in connection with the Land Acquisition Programme - $100,75$.04. Note: The gross amount of monies expended during 1966 for all Land Acquisition purposes amounted to $3,761,101.02 - 82,157,293.55 of this amount applies to Federal projects. The gross expenditure for land is given to show the magnitude of the Authority's Land Acquisition Programme and its relationship to the amount expended for legal fees Cont.... B -114 - 5 - The $100,75$.04 is chargeable directly to Land Acquisition and is apportioned as follows: Federal projects, for which the Authority receives a 75% grant .. Provincial projects, for which the Authority receives a 50% grant .. $64,765.54 $35,992.50 (2) Fees paid in connection with Accounts A.52, A.106 and Miscellaneous, less recoverable item - $5,$42.5$. Note: Referring to Account A.52, it will be noted the Authority paid Roebuck, Walkinshaw & North a retainer fee of $500.00 which actually applied to the calendar year 1965 and is a non - continuing item effective January 1st, 1966. There- fore, the actual fees paid out under this item, applicable to 1966, amounted to $5,342.5$. Obviously the Authority's Land Acquisition Programme, in relation to its present magnitude, is non - continuing. However, there will be some minor acquisitions and /or sales each year after the Flood Control Programme has been completed. Referring to Item (2) above, it will be noted that, for administrative purposes, the Authority expended an amount of $5,342.58 which is applicable to the year 1966. Unless some un- foreseen difficulty is encountered requiring extended litigation (and for which the Authority would require Counsel in any event) we believe that legal fees for administrative purposes probably will not exceed $7,500.00 in any given year. It will be noted from the foregoing that the Authority expended $59,911.04 for litigation in connection with 'its 1966 Land Acquisition Programme, most of which pertains to lands expropriated within the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto generally and particularly to lands expropriated in the Borough of North York. In my view it has long been the law that, in the determination of compensation, the claimant is entitled to a sum of money which is neither to be diminished nor increased by reason of the works for which the lands have been expropriated. The statement adopted in 1965 by the Court of Appeal in the Teubner case that a "claimant is entitled to be compensated as if the Scheme for which the property was taken did not exist" is merely a re- statement of this legal principle. This view is not generally held by all Counsel acting for the Authority and, until the matter has been resolved by The Supreme Court of Canada, there is little we can do to achieve settlements in the Borough of North York, particularly in view of Official Plan Amendment No.96, approved by the Minister in December 1958, which laid down the general policy that, in determining the boundary of greenbelt zones, as a rule the brow or crest of a watercourse ravine would be followed. The Authority is presently taking the Claremont Investment Limited expropriation to The Supreme Court of Canada and it is hoped this problem will be resolved. Cont.... B -115 - 6 Reference to Staff Lawyer: The matter of hiring a lawyer on staff by the Authority has been discussed many times by the Personnel Sub - Committee and by the Executive Committee. There are numerous reasons why it is not deemed practical or. economically feasible to have a staff lawyer. The primary reason being that a staff lawyer and attendant secretarial assistance would create a very considerable additional burden on the administrative budget of the Authority. It has been conservatively estimated that the cost of a staff lawyer, secretarial help, etc., would be approximately $30,000.00 per year. This, of course, assumes that office space would be available which does not presently exist. Under the present system of retaining lawyers on a fee basis, we are able to charge the fees directly to each real estate transaction and, in many cases receive a 75% grant, whereas, if the legal costs were part of the administrative budget, we would receive a 50% grant only. It should also be pointed out that the tremendous amount of real estate conveyancing will obviously decrease during the next three to five years. At that time the Authority would be faced with the proposition of dispensing with its legal staff, or continuing to carry an administrative burden that it could ill - afford. The system of retaining advisors and consultants has been a practice of the Authority since its inception and has been used very extensively in the engineering field since 1961, with the same results, i.e., fees were charged directly to the various schemes and projects rather than to administrative costs. By charging such fees to the schemes and projects, we were able to receive substantially greater grants from the Province, thereby reducing the cost to the member municipalities. Under this system of retaining consultants, appraisers and lawyers, the Authority is afforded the benefit of advice and assistance from highly qualified personnel, without the continuing cost which.would result if additions were made to the Authority's administrative staff. It should be further pointed out that the addition of a Legal Division to the Authority's administrative staff would require approval by the Minister of Energy and Resources Management for grant purposes.

L. Lunn April -11 -1967 Secretary- Treasurer A -130 TO: Flood Control & Water Conservation Advisory Board RE: Review of Black Creek Flood Control Programme With the completion of two major contracts on the Black Creek coinciding with the end of the first five years of the Authority's Plan for-Flood Control and Water Conservation, it is considered appropriate to have a complete review of the Flood Control Programme for the Black Creek Watershed. In 1954, the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto engaged the firm of H. G. Acres & Company Limited to undertake a complete study of flood control measures for the Black Creek, a major tributary of the Humber River rising in Vaughan Township just north of Highway #7 near Jane Street. The stream follows a southerly course, nearly paralleling Jane Street through the Township of Vaughan and the Boroughs of North York and York. It has its confluence with the Humber River at the Lambton Golf Club just west of Scarlett Road and south of Edenbridge Drive. No action had been taken by Metro to implement the recommendat- ions of the Acres Report when the Metropolitan Toronto & Region Conservation Authority was established in 1957. The Authority was requested and subsequently agreed to assume responsibility for flood control on the Black Creek. In 1958 -59, a concrete -lined flood channel was constructed from the Humber River to Scarlett Road. At the same time, certain improvements were carried out in the channel of the Humber River to improve the confluence of the two watercourses. This work,- carried out under Scheme W.C. -6, was designed to provide a more adequate outlet for the Black Creek. In 1959 -60, under Scheme W.C. -19, a rock fill retardation dam was constructed just east of Jane Street, south of Sheppard Avenue. This structure functions to retard the peak flows from the upstream section of the drainage area until the flood flows have receded in the lower section of the watercourse. Also in 1960, Scheme W.C. -24 was carried out to provide a short section of channel at Lawrence Avenue, and was timed to coincide with improvements to Lawrence Avenue. The total cost of these Schemes was $981,850.19, and was shared equally between the Province of Ontario and the Authority. Metro- politan Toronto, being benefitting municipality for flood control work on the Black Creek, assumed the Authority's share of the cost. In 1961, agreements were executed between the Governments of Canada and Ontario and the Authority for implementing the Authority's Plan For Flood Control And Water Conservation. Included under the agreements was provision for financing further work on the Black Creek on the following basis: Government of Canada 371% Government of Ontario 37 % Authority (Metro Toronto) 25% Between 1962 and 1966, five further sections of concrete - lined channel have been constructed as follows: m 1. Scarlett Road to Rockcliffe Boulevard. 2. Rustic Road to Jane Street, north bf Wilson Avenue. 3. Rockcliffe Boulevard to Alliance Avenue. L4. Queen's Drive to Jane Street and Rustic Road. 5. Alliance Avenue to Weston Road. The total cost of these five sections was $3,920,000.00. As of December 31, 1966, there was $80,000. remaining for the Black A-131 - 2 - Creek Programme of the original $),000,000. provided in the Flood Control Plan. In January, 1967, the account was credited with an additional $105,000. as a result of the sale of surplus lands. In addition, our Property Division advises there is still one small parcel of land to be placed on the market. From outstanding commit- ments related to utilities' relocation, some small expenditures remain to be made. It is assumed, therefore, that there is a balance available for the Black Creek Programme of $200,000. The accompanying plan indicages the status of channelization work on the Black Creek as of the present date. In reviewing that portion of the Black Creek remaining to be channelized, it would appear that the section from Lawrence Avenue to a point downstream of Eglinton can only be constructed when the new Highway extension goes through, and, in fact, might properly be considered a part of the highway construction cost. It would appear, then, that two sections of channel remain to be constructed by the Authority at the earliest possible time: 1:). QueenTs Drive to Lawrence Avenue: Our consultants advise that their estimate for this section ww uld be $620,000., and it would not 'be feasible to split this section into more than one contract; also, it is doubtful if this can be justified as a part of the Highway 400 extension. 2). Weston Road upstream towards Eglinton Avenue: The precise upstream limit of this section would have to await finalization of D.H.O. plans for the Highway 400 - Eglinton Avenue Interchange; however, in any event, the cost of this section will in all probability be well in excess of $200,000. This section also must be carried out as one contract. 4.4.67. E. F. Sutter, Asst.

Evidence of the swampy nature of the property is indicated by a number of areas that have been excavated for peat and which have subsequently filled with water, thus creating a number of ponds on the property. The area is entirely unsuitable for residential develop- ment. (b) Purpose of Scheme The purpose of the Scheme is to permit the Metro- politan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to acquire approximately ten acres of flood plain land near the headwaters of the East Branch of the Humber River in the Township of King. The area of land is entirely unsuitable for residential development and the purpose of the acquisition is to prevent their development for 'residential purposes in order that it may be maintained for conservation purposes. The lands will be developed and maintained as public open space. (c) Costs The cost of the acquisition of the Meadows property has been estimated on the following basis: Owner: Acres: C. A. Meadows 10 (approximately) fi -13.3 - 2 - Appraised Value per Acre plus 10 %: Total Land Improvements: Legal, Survey and Appraisal: Total Costs: $1,500. $15,000. $5, 000. S20,000. March 15, 1967 K.

PROJECT F.1.A. - CLAIREVILLE DAM & RESERVOIR Property: EdmundPeachey Limited The Property Administrator advised Committee that an Ontario Municipal Board Decision, handed down on April 27, 1967, has been received. The Board awarded an amount of $60,9$7.00, plus interest at 5% from the date of expropriation, as well as Claimant's costs as between party and party on the Supreme Court scale. A letter from the Authority's Counsel, in this instance Mr. H.E. Manning, Q.C., was presented pointing out a difference of approximately $20,000.00 between the Board's award and the Authority's highest appraisal. This difference is primarily attributable to 19.931 acres of the 31.075 acres which the Auth- ority expropriated on February 13, 1963. A-149 ea SAP The Authority's appraisers submitted that the land which was designated as open space should be valued at $1,000 per acre. The appraiser for the Claimant submitted that, were it not for the scheme of the Authority, there would be a reasonable probability of rezoning to industrial use and the land would have a value of $3,000 per acre. In the Ontario Municipal Board's point of view approval of Official Plan Amendment No. 143 ( Etobicoke) is not such as to deprive the Claimant, in an expropriating proceeding, of the land's inherent value and potential prior to that enactment and approval by the Board. Further, it was the Board's opinion the 19.931 acres had a potential for uses greater than that of open space and, there- fore applied $2,000 per acre. Mr. Manning recommended The Ontario Municipal Board's decision be appealed. The Committee discussed the matter to some length. Provided there is no appeal by the Claimant, the Secretary - Treasurer was authorized and directed to complete the settle- ment of compensation in the matter of certain lands expropri- ated from Edmund Peachey Limited; said to contain 31.075 acres, being Part of Lot 37, Concession IV, F.H., Borough of Etobicoke, in accordance with the decision of The Ontario Municipal Board dated April 27, 1967; and further, Mr. H.E. Manning, Q.C., is to be advised the Authority does not approve of an appeal, a's recommended in his letter of May 2, 1967. 21, PROJECT F.2.A. - EBENEZER DAM & RESERVOIR Surplus Property The Property Administrator advised Committee that an offer had been received from Herb Sills Limited, for the 53.$41 acres and improvements surplus to the Authority's requirements for the Ebenezer Reservoir. Said offer being $140,000.00, with $42 ,500.00 payable on closing and the balance at $4,000.00 per annum with 6% interest. Committee was advised the offer was below that previously re- fused and that the terms would be unacceptable to the Department of Energy and Resources Management. IT WAS AGREED THAT The Agreement of Purchase and Sale received from Herb Sills Limited is to be signed back for the total sum of $175,000.00, with $50,000.00 payable in cash on closing within thirty days and the balance payable in equal install- ments over a period of five years, with 6% interest, subject to the approval of the Lieutenant - Governor -in- Council.

A -173 B -184 SCHEDULE 'IA" REPORT on the RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES INTRODUCTION: The Legislature of the Province of Ontario established the Select Committee on Conservation Authorities in 1965. The Committee investigated all aspects of the works, programmes, administrations, and financing of the Authorities in the Province of Ontario, and submitted their Report to the Leglislature on March 20th, 1967. Many members of the Authority and Staff were involved in tours and discussions vith the Select Committee. The Metropolitan Toronto & Region Conservation Authority adopted a Brief for submission to The Select Committee at Meeting #1/65, held on November 19th, 1965. The Brief was submitted on December 7th, 1965. The Chairman of the Authority actively participated in the preparation of a Brief from The Committee of"Cbnservation Authority Chairmen, which was presented to the Select Committee on January 11th, and 12th, 1966. II THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT THE AUTHORITY ADOPT THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS IN CONNECTION WITH THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES: (a) Select Committee Recommendation #1$: THAT copies of Minutes of full Authority Meetings be forwarded to the Clerks of all Municipalities, if requested; (b) Select, Committee Recommendation #90: THAT the existing Conservation Newsletter be discontinued in its existing form and that a new Authority Newsletter be published three times a year corresponding with the submission of the Staff Progress Report; and further THAT this Newsletter highlight activities of the Authority during the respective period; and further in this connection, THAT it be distributed to all municipal councillors, plannning boards, M.Pts., M.P.P.ts, and other appropriate officials; (c) Select Committee Recommendations #125 and #126: THAT the Metropolitan Toronto & Region Cors ervation Authority offer to sponsor a meeting of the following Authorities: - Niagara Peninsula - Hamilton Region - Halton Region - Credit - Nottawasaga - North Grey - Saugeen - Sauble - Grand A -174 B -185 - 2 - for the purpose of discussing the role of Conservation Authorities with respect to the Niagara Escarpment; *i *i * * ** m *i *i III RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SUBMISSION TO THE MINISTER OF ENERGY & RESOURCES MANAGEMENT: CHAPTER I CONSTITUTION & POWERS OF CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES (A) THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO & REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY URGES THE IMPLEMENTION OF THE FOLLOW- ING RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES: #'s 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, $, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 26; (B) THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO & REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY SUBMITS THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS FOR (THE - CONSIDERATION OF THE MINISTER OF ENERGY & RESOURCES MANAGEMENT: (a) Select Committee Recommendations #4 and #5: The term "Conservation Authority" has been in existence for more than twenty years and has become well known and accepted by.municipalities and the general public. The Authority sees no particular advantage in adopting the term "Conservancy" and accordingly recommends that the term "Conservation Authority" be retained; (b) Select Committee Recommendations #'s 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, and 33: The above Recommendations which have reference to a "Conservation Plan" are some of the more significant Recommendations of the Select Committee. The Recommend- ations acknowledge the need for more long range regional planning, and the importance of natural resources in such planning. The proposals are an extension of the provision for planning as contained in The Planning Act to the field of natural resources management. The Metropolitan Toronto & Region Conservation Authority agrees in principle with the Recommendations regarding a "Conservation Plan ", with the following comment: - the Plan should have flexibility and not prohibit the undertaking of other works or require lands to be acquired in a designated period; CHAPTER II FINANCE (A) THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO & REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY URGES THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES: #'s 34, 35, 36, 37, 3$, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 4$, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 5$, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 74; - 3 - A -175 B -186 (B) THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO & REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY WISHES TO ADVISE THE MINISTER OF ENERGY & RESOURCES-MANAGEMENT AS FOLLOWS: (a) Select Committee Recommendation #39: The Authority agrees with the Recommendation that municipalities be advised of their levy by March 1st each year, but does not recommend that -an "Authority must make its levy prior to February 15th. Authority Meetings may be delayed beyond this date because of failure of municipalities to make appointments; (b) Select Committee Recommendation #71: The Metropolitan Toronto & Region Conservation Authority submitted a Brief to the Minister of Energy S Resources Management-on May 25th, 1965, requesting a 75% grant for the acquisition of flood plain lands. (C) THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO & REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY SUBMITS THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF THE MINISTER OF ENERGY & RESOURCES MANAGEMENT: (a) Select Committee Recommendation #73,: The Executive Committee of thegMetropolitan Toronto & Region Conservation Authority does:not recommend this amendment to The Conservation Authorities Act. CHAPTER III LAND ACQUISITION (A) THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO & REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY URGES THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES: #'s 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 85, 86, and 87; (B) THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO & REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY SUBMITS THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS RECEIVED FROM LEGAL COUNSEL FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF THE MINISTER OF ENERGY & RESOURCES MANAGEMENT: (a) Select Committee Recommendation #75,: In our view the adoption of this Recommendation is not practical. Our doubts are based on the following considerations: - the number of situations in which limited estates would serve the purposes of the Conservation Authority would be small; - limited estates are difficult of definition as a matter of law and frequently involve potential disputes as to the extent of the respective interests; for purposes of compensation the owner will almost always invariably contend that the loss to him is the same as upon a complete taking with the result that the Authority pays almost as much for a limited estate as it would for the fee; A-46 B -1$7 - 4 - (b): Select Committee Recommendations #76, 77, and 7$: These Recommendations may be dealt with together. It seems to us that the adoption of either 76 or 7$ would be a logical extension of the present administrative procedures designed to assure that Conservation Authorities do not undertake ill - advised schemes. We are also of the view that the adoption of either #76 or #7$ would make it appropriate that Section lA of The Expropriation Procedures Act be amended to delete the reference to Conservation Authorities. That Section as it stands at present involves a very real question of whether the Judge hearing an application under the Section does not have to determine whether the "Scheme" is necessary which, in fact, involves him considering and passing upon matters which have already been the subject of extended administrative consideration. It would seem logical to extend this consideration to a final approval in the course of the administrative process. (c) Select Committee Recommendation #79: We concur in this Recommendation. You have already had our opinion to the effect that the procedural sections of The Conservation Authorities Act relating to expropriation involve some duplication since the provisions of The Expropriation Procedures Act require to be followed in order to effect vesting of the land in the Authority. It would be necessary to retain in the Act, of course, the power to expropriate as opposed to the procedure for effecting the expropria- tion. (d) Select Committee Recommendations #$0 and #$1: We think it is reasonable that Conservation Authorities should utilize care in the selection of appraisers so that valuations adopted by Authorities will be based on reliable opinions. We understand, however, that as matters are at present, appraisers used by Authorities have to be approved of by the Minister. It seems difficult to see what additional safeguard would be accomplished by requiring that the appraisers be licensed by the Province nor why such a requirement should apply to Conservation Authorities as opposed to other bodies having powers of expropriation. (e) Select Committee Recommendation #$2: Adoption or rejection of this Recommendation appears to us to be largely a matter of Governmental policy. Onthat score there would seem to be a good deal to recommend it. It could certainly be argued that the expropriated Owner should know the basis of the valuation placed by the Authority on his property. We think it vital, however, that if this Recommend- ation were adopted that Recommendation #$7 should also be adopted, otherwise the Claimant would be given a very significant advantage in any contested proceedings to determine compensation. (f) Select Committee Recommendation #$3: This again appears to be almost purely a matter of Government policy. Again there seems to be much to - 5 - B -188 recommend it. Valuation of property is not an exact science and it is certainly arguable that the burden of any error should fall on the expropriating Authority rather than on the expropriated owner. As indicated in the report the allowance of an additional ten per cent was for many years an almost automatic incident of awards of compensation in expropriation proceedings. (g) Select Committee Recommendation #$i4: We do not consider this Recommendation to be practical particularly in view of the existence and operation of the Board of Negotiation. While no doubt the offer made by an Authority should be carefully considered and an Authority should avoid the appearance of haggling, it seems to us that it would be an undue and artificial restriction to say that an Authority should make only one offer which was to be final. (h) Select Committee Recommendation #$5: In our view it is difficult to resist the logic of this Recommendation. As matters stand at present the only way in which the expropriated owner can retain for himself the full compensation paid is if he accepts, without expert advice of any kind, the offer made by the expropriating Authority. In any other circumstances he must incur legal and appraisal costs which in part, at any rate, must come out of and reduce the compensation. There would appear to be no reason in theory or practice why an expropriated owner should be required to bear this expense. (i) Select Committee Recommendation #$6: It appears to us impossible to resist the logic of .this Recommendation. In a period of rising property values it is more often than not the part of prudence for an expropriated owner to move immediately to acquire new property. Since the compensation is seldom paid immediately and is frequently not paid until after a material delay, the owner is in a position of either having to borrow money or, alternatively, to lay out his own money with a consequent loss of income from it. Unless the interest paid by the expropriatin g Authority on the compensation when determined is reckoned at the current rate there is an inevitable loss to the expropriated owner. There would appear to be no reason in theory or practice why he should be required to bear this loss. (j) Select Committee Recommendation #87: We have already suggested that the adoption of this Recommendation would be an essential step if Recommend- ation #$2 were to be adopted. It suggests a practice which is already reflected in the recent amendments to the Rules of the Exchequer Court of Canada which require analogous disclosure of expert evidence. (C) THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO & REGION CONSERVATION'AUTHORITY DOES NOT RECOMMEND THE IMPLENTATION OF THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES: #$3 and #84; A -178 B -189 - 6 - CHAPTER IV ADMINISTRATIVE PRACTICES (A) THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO & REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY RECOMMENDS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES: #'s 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 9L., 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112,•113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, and 12L.; (B) THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO & REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY WISHES TO ADVISE THE MINISTER OF ENERGY & RESOURCES MANAGEMENT AS FOLLOWS: (a) Select Committee Recommendation #99: There is an urgentneed for consideration of outdoor - education and the role of the Conservation Authorities in this field. It appears evident that changes in the curriculum in the Ontario educational system will require more extensive u3 e of the out -of -doors for educational purposes. Conservation Schools will be only one aspect of outdoor education but it will also include a wide variety of other field studies on a part -day or day basis. There is a tendancy for local school boards to want to arrange, at their own expense, their own field study areas. The Metropolitan Toronto & Region Conservation Authority is of the opinion that the Conservation Authorities in the Province have the resources of lands, water, forest, and wildlife which can play an important and significant role in the field of outdoor education and, in addition, many of the Authorities have the skills to interpret these resources for educational purposes. It would appear that individual Authorities, in conjunction with the Department of Energy & Resouces Management, local school boards, and the-Department of Education, should consider the whole field of outdoor recreation and this would likely have to be done on a regional basis as opposed to trying to establish guide -lines for the whole Province. (b) Select Committee Recommendations #123, and 121.: The Metropolitan Toronto & Region Conservation Authority agrees with these Recommendations with some reservations -- the Authority is concerned with the extent of liability to which the Authority and the Province would be subjected. Many of these privately -owned dams do not have up -to -date control mechanisms and there is a great opportunity for error or failure in their operation, which might increase downstream flood damage with subsequent claims for damages.

Lunn, Esq., Secretary- Treasurer, Metropolitan Toronto & Region Conservation Authority, Box 720, Woodbridge, Ontario. Dear Sir: I am enclosing for your information the appended Clause No.5 of Report No. 13 of The Parks and Recreation Committee, headed "Permission to Continue East York Landfill Site Operation", which was adopted without amendment, by the Council of The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto on June 27, 1967. Yours truly, (Signed) G.M. FOSTER Metropolitan Clerk GMF;ppl Enclosure Sent to: Clerk- Administrator, Borough of East York Secretary- Treasurer, Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority " "Clause embodied in Report No. 13 of The Parks and Recreation Committee, as adopted by the Council of The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto on June 27, 1967. 5 PERMISSION TO CONTINUE EAST YORK LANDFILL SITE OPERATION The Parks and Recreation Committee recommends the adoption of the following report (June 6, 1967) from The Metropolitan Parks Commissioner: -3- A -205 "At its meeting held on April 20, 1967 the Technical Advisory Committee on Parks and Conservation heard a deputation from The Borough of East York seeking permission to continue and expand the operation of the old Town of Leaside landfill site south of Eglinton Avenue at the west Don River. "This landfill operation has been in progress since 1961 under the terms of an agreement between The Town of Leaside and The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. The Borough officials proposed to alter the previously agreed contours and extend the landfill site easterly. The Technical Advisory Committee on Parks and Conservation considered this matter carefully and in view of the refuse disposal situation in the Metropolitan area at this time, the Committee recommends as follows: 'Recommendation: This Committee approves the revised grades on the basis that the site be completed progress- ively from west to east. No further trees are to be removed and the landfill operation completed in 1967.' "The matter was then considered by The Borough of East York Works Committee on May 15, 1967 and the following recommendation made: 'The Works Committee recommends that the Clerk write to The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and Metropolitan Toronto Parks Department requesting permission to continue landfill operations at the site in the former Town, at Eglinton Avenue, at least until the end of 1967, and that a deputation from East York will be glad to appear before the Conservation Authority Executive and the Metropolitan Works and Parks Committees in order to explain the details.' "Accordingly, I recommend that in view of the current refuse disposal problem in the area, that: 1) Subject to the approval of the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, the Borough of East York be permitted to continue the operation of the existing landfill site with modified grades on the following conditions: a) that the site be graded progressively from west to east; b) that no trees be removed; c) that the operation be completed as of December, 1967; and d) that a landscaping programme be implemented by The Borough in the spring of 196$; 2) The appropriate Metropolitan officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to give effect to the foregoing." The area in question is located in what was formerly the Town of Leaside on the south side of Eglinton Avenue at the West Don River. This area is listed on a plan presented to the Executive Committee, which also indicates the proposed new grades.

St. Lucie Drive: This area is located on the east bank of the Hum- ber River west of Weston Road, between Sheppard and Finch Avenues. More specifically, it affects and directly involves the rear yards of Nos. 127 - 155 inclusive on St. Lucie Drive. At this loca- tion, the Humber River flows directly toward the base of the east bank of the Humber River which has a height of approximately 65 feet, and this factor, combined with an inherent instability of the slope, has resulted in slippages of a serious -208 nature which presently endanger the'very existence of the homes at the top of the bank. The proposed work includes a rechannelization of the Humber River away from the toe of the slope, providing a new channel of not less than the exist- ing capacity. The existing slope will be cleared and there will be a simultaneous building of drain- age and a new embankment. The drainage will con- sist of a thick, granular blanket on the slope, to- gether with appropriate toe drainage. The bank will be rebuilt with a compacted fill berm, creat- ing a two -step slope. The finished embankment will result in a minimum 30 -foot rear yard for each of the residences involved, and the embankment will be treated with topsoil and hydro- seeded. 2. Troutbrook Drive: This area is located on the south bank of the Black Creek in the vicinity of the Black Creek Retardation Dam, to the east of Jane Street and south of Shep- pard Avenue. More specifically, it involves the rear yards of Nos. 53 - 73 inclusive on Troutbrooke Drive. As on St. Lucie Drive, a steep bank of an extremely unstable nature has resulted in slippages which could endanger the residences at the top of the slope, and result in blockage of the Black Creek below. At this location, it is proposed to strip the slide material from the slope, provide slope drainage by means of a granular blanket and toe drain, rebuild the slope with compacted fill material to a 2.5 :1 gradient, cover with top -soil and hydro -seed. (b) Purpose of Scheme: The purpose of this Scheme is to permit The Metropol- itan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to undertake erosion control and bank stabilization measures at two locations: 1. The east bank of the Humber River at the rear of St. Lucie Drive; 2. The south bank of the Black Creek at the rear of Troutbrooke Drive; (c) Current Estimate of Costs: 1. St. Lucie Drive Contract Legal and Contingencies Engineering Supervision Interest Charges $350,000. 35,000. $,500. 15,000. 2. Troutbrooke Drive Contract $ 50,000. Legal and Contingencies 5,000. Engineering Supervision 5,000. Interest Charges 2,500. GRAND TOTAL $408,500. $ 62,500. $471,000. A -toy (d) Financing: 1. The Authority proposes to raise the money required for this Scheme in the year 1967, on the following basis: Authority Share $235,500. Province of Ontario Grant 235, 500.. TOTAL $471,000. 2. The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto is hereby designated as the benefiting municipality and shall be levied the Authority's share of the estimated cost of the Scheme, amounting to $235,500. in the year 1967. fl2etropo/ttan 5oronto and Region A_210 Coniervatioii -Attgority MINUTES Authority Meeting - SPECIAL Friday- August -25 -1967 #6/67 The Authority met in Special Session on Friday, August 25, 1967 at the Board of Trade Golf & Country Club, Woodbridge, commencing at 2:00 p.m. PRESENT WERE Chairman Dr. G.

YES. 20 Is the Authority aware of the designation of these lands in the draft District 11 Plan as major public open space lands? YES, 3. Assuming that the Authority is aware of the policy of the Township to conserve these lands for recreational uses, and to be acquired for public use, what is the reason for ignor- ing such policy as regards to this application?

Was the first recommendation adopted by the Executive Commit- tee and then rejected when the second staff recommendation A -239 RE: Part of Lot 13, Plan 2069, Borough of North York 2 was made by its Assistant Director of Operations? NO. 5, Why was the second recommendation reversing the original staff report not communicated to the Planning Department of North York, i.e. was addressed to the real estate agent of the applicant? IT WAS AN OVERSIGHT. 6o Did the staff of the Authority secure the approval of the Borough to the acceptance of a conveyance of any of these lands before making the stipulation contained in the Octo- ber 4 letter? NO. 7. Did the applicant ever accede to these conditions and if so has a deed been delivered to the Authority? NO. 8. Did the Authority consider that its approval might be in- consistent with its policy of acquiring lands in the Valley which it has already commenced to implement by.agreeing to purchase the Hazlett Property on the east side of the Don River Boulevard? THE SECOND RECOMMENDATION WAS MADE FOLLOWING EXECUTIVE RESOLUTION #316 ADOPTED AT MEETING #15/66 HELD ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21ST, 1966, AS FOLLOWS: RESOLVED THAT: The Staff be directed not to proceed with the acquisition of the Hazlett property; and further in this connection, THAT the recommendation of the Technical Staff pertaining to the proposed subdivision T- 169$7, North York - Andrew Hazlett - be confirmed; THEREFORE, AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME, THE COMMENTS WERE CON- SISTENT FOR THAT PARTICULAR AREA. 9, What was the reason for the review and reversal of the first recommendation?

PROJECT F . L.. A . -- NASHVILLE DAM & RESERVOIR -- PROPERTY - ARNOLD E. MURPHY (FORMERLY GOUDGE): The Property Adminstrator reported to Coniplittee that a property formerly owned by Thomas H. Goudge, consist- ing of 63.054 acres and certain improvements, has been offered for sale by Mr. Arnold E. Murphy who purchased the property in June, 1967. Said property being Part of Lot 31, Concession X, Township of Vaughan. This property, in its entirety, is required for the Nashville Dam and Reservoir Project and is very important in relation to the location of the proposed daxn. The Property Administrator further advised that there could be difficulties, as he has been approached by a Mr. J. L. Moulton, President, Systematic Tool & Die Co. Ltd., Rexdale, Ontario, who was very interested in acquiring same. The Property Administrator was authorized and directed to proceed with negotiations for the acquisition of a property being Part of Lot 31, Concession X, Township - 15 - A -310 of Vaughan, said to contain 63.084 acres, more or less, and improvements, according to a plan of survey prepared by W.

PROJECT P.9.A. -- DON RIVER FLOOD LANDS,: The Property Administrator reviewed for Committee the expropriation of five partial takings from properties, fronting on the Bridlepath, in the vicinity of Edwards Gardens. The land taken is side slope and valley land in the Wilket Creek Valley. The five expropriated owners have reported that serious' difficulty has been encountered with children climbing the bank, using their swimming pools and generally overrunning the property. Said owners are requesting that a fence be constructed at the toe of the slope and a hedge planted along the top of the bank; this proposition being unacceptable to both the Metropolitan Parks Department and the Authority.

Hague Seconded By: R. G. Henderson RESOLVED THAT: The request of the Borough of North York for the Authority to enter into negotiations for the development of a complete Outdoor Education Programme, be received and referred to the Information & Education Advisory Board, for consideration; CARRIED; tr "Res. #194 Moved By: C. Sauriol Seconded By: R. G. Henderson RESOLVED THAT: The Staff be directed to prepare a report on the feasability and cost of establishing one or more Conservation Field Centres, for consideration at the next Meeting of the Information & Education Advisory Board; CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY; tt The purpose of this report is to review the present Authority interpretive programmes in the Conservation Areas and to make recommendations as to ways and means of improving the services and extending programmes to satisfy an increasing demand. Introduction: The Conservation Authority, from its establishment in 1957, has recognized the many benefits of offering a programme where youth and adults become familiar with the renewable natural resources of the region and the importance of these resources. A policy has been developed to offer a wide range of interpretive programmes to provide groups, especially school children, first -hand experiences in the Conservation Areas. Details of these interpretive programmes being offered by the Authority are outlined in the folder attached. The Authority has acquired nearly 1$,000 acres of land in the past ten years for conservation purposes. While the acquisition of land is justified for conservation purposes, it soon became evident that many of these lands were ideally suited for use by people. Recreational use was initiated and to date twelve Conservation Areas have been opened to provide outdoor recreation in the region. The enthusiasm and response to the recreation programme grew rapidly, so that naw more than 1,000,000 persons visit the Conservation Areas annually. It has been amply demonstrated that the lands, while serving their primary function for conservation and their secondary function for recreation, can serve yet another function -- that of an outdoor classroom providing both children and adults an opportunity to study the conservation at the basic renewable natural resources of water, soils, forests, fish and wildlife. The Authority lands have all the natural features necessary for outdoor studies. A -313 - 1$ - It is anticipated that nearly 100,000 people will participate in the interpretive programmes in 1967. Of these, only 13,000 will participate in the natural history and conservation interpretive programmes on a daily basis. There are a number of limitations in these programmes which must be removed to provide an acceptable and satisfactory service: 1. Participation is limited due to Authority budget limitations. 2. Participation is seasonal (September, October, May, June) due to a lack of suitable physical facilities in the Conservation Areas. 3. Difficulty in obtaining capable and experienced staff on a part -time basis. L.. Arrangements are made with individual teachers. Commitments are frequently cancelled for a variety of reasons. 5. Demand is considerably higher than those accepted. The demand for the Conservation Field Centres has only begun, and it is increasing at an accelerating rate. It is estimated in this region that there are nearly half a million children attending school in Grades from K to XIII. Field trips can be incorporated into the programme in almost every grade and are being encouraged. There are sufficient acreages for Conservation Field Centres in Conservation Areas to satisfy present and future demand provided that careful planning is done by the Authority'in terms of policy, site selection and operation in relation to other developments. It is• emphasized that the interpretive programmes in a Conservation Area, in most cases, are and can be compatible with the conservation and recreation objective. 1. The interpretive use is largely Monday to Friday, from September to June, when there is little or no recreational use in any Area. 2. Lands used for resource study are generally outside the portion of the Area intensively developed and used by the public. 3. Roads and services required for the recreational develop- ment are also required for the interpretive programmes. 4. The use of areas by tens of thousands of students will encourage the further use of all the Conservation Areas, especially in those:Areas where programmes are offered. In a given Area where the conservation, recreational and interpretive objectives are compatible, the requirements for a continuing and effective field study programme are: 1. Planning of interpretive uses at the time of an overall plan of an Area development. 2. A heated building with the necessary furnishings and field equipment. 3. Fun 1, time staff to carry out the interpretive programmes. 4. A guarantee by groups, especially school boards, of - 19 - A -314 (a) continuous use and (b) reimbursement to the Authority of the operating costs of such programmes. Programme: It is recommended that, as an extension to the Authority's interpretive programme, two Conservation Field Centres be established to serve the region. A Conservation Field Centre is a building located in a Conservation Area with its primary function being to provide a physical base from which to carry out a field exercise on a daily basis. It is an essential facility to offer a year -round programme. The Staff has investigated a number of sites and recommends that Conservation Field Centres be established in the Claremont and Cold Creek Conservation Areas. The attached preliminary floor plan provides detailed information on the specific requirements of the Conservation Field Centre buildings which would include a classroom, office, kitchen, storage area and staff and student washrooms. The appended information provides details regarding the Claremont and Cold Creek Conservation Field Centres. No attempt will be made to offer a standard programme or programmes. The programme will be similar to the policy established at the Albion Hills Conservation School where the teacher or group leader will arrange a suitable outdoor programme acceptable to both the Authority and the visiting group through a pre- planning visit with the staff assigned to the Conservation Field Centre. The following factors would influence the programme offered to any given group. 1. Outdoor facilities available 2. Season of the year 3. Grade or age level 1+. Current course of study of the class 5. Learning capacity of the class 6. Interest and specialty of the visiting teacher 7. Time, .available Two full -time staff members would be required to operate the Field Centre. In addition, one casual staff instructor to assist one day per week to permit pre- planning, would be required. Cost Estimates & Financing: A. Capital 1. Building 1,500 square feet $ 95.500.00 2.

PROJECT P.$.A. - HUMBER RIVER FLOOD LAND Authorization re Transcript of Evidence - Wheeler Case Following expropriation of the Eglinton Flats properties, by the mutual consent of all solicitors involved, one claim being that of Harold and Hilda Wheeler was arbitra- ted before The Ontario Municipal Board. This hearing, in November, 1965, involved some fifteen days, spread over a period of three weeks, ran to approximately three thousand pages of evidence. Subsequent to the Wheeler decision being handed down by the Board, a substantial number of settlements have been effected. There are, however, three or four claimants with whom it appears impossible to negotiate a settlement and the Staff and the Authority's solicitor, in this in- stance, Mr. John B. Conlin, Q.C., are driven to the con- clusion the only way to resolve same is by arbitration. It has been further agreed between solicitors that any evidence presented to the Board in the Wheeler case, which is applicable in a general way, can be introduced in subsequent hearings without benefit of calling wit- nesses. A -321 - 6 - Our solicitor, in this instance Mr. John B. Conlin, Q.C., has advised that a transcript of evidence will cost in the order of $$,500.00 to $9,000,00 and has requested authorization to have the evidence presented to the Board in the Wheeler case transcribed. Mr. John B. Conlin, Q.C., the Authority's solicitor in the matter of the Eglinton Flats expropriations, was auth- orized and directed to have the evidence presented in the Wheeler arbitration transcribed. Said evidence is to be used in connection with arbitrations which may result from inability to achieve settlement by negotiation in the outstanding Eglinton Flats expropriations. 13.

The Staff Report having regard to an entrance road to the Greenwood Conservation Area from the Westney Road, dated November 3, 1967, (as follows) was received and appended as Schedule "D" of the Minutes of Executive Meeting #18/67; and further, The recommendations contained therein are to be adopted. TO: Executive Committee - M.T.R.C.A. RE: Entrance Road, Greenwood Conservation Area Res. #1+39, Meeting #21/66 of the Executive Committee, directed the staff to discuss with the County of Ontario - 13 - A -334 the possibility of developing a road to the Greenwood Conservation Area from the Westney Road. The staff have discussed this matter with officials of the County of Ontario and the Township of Pickering. At the present time the entrance to the Greenwood Conservation Area is from the Greenwood Road, which runs in a north -south direction between Highway #2 and Highway #7, and involves a level crossing of the busy C.P.R. rail line just north of the 4th line of the Twp. of Pickering. The County of Ontario has recently taken over the Greenwood Road as a County road. In discussions with officials of the County of Ontario, it was learned that it would be preferable from many points of view if the Westney Road, which lies 1/4 mile to the east of the Greenwood Road, was under the jurisdiction of the County, rather than the Greenwood Road. The Westney Road has an overpass structure, avoiding a level crossing of the C.P.R., is partially paved, and in combination with the 7th concession line which runs east and west between the Brock Road and the Claremont Conservation Area, would provide a. loop of County controlled roads linking the Greenwood Area and the Claremont Area. This arrangement would relic- e the Twp. of Pickering of the heavy maintenance costs which are now presently involved on the Greenwood Road. In order to have an entrance to the Greenwood Conservation Area from the Westney Road, the block of land lying between the Greenwood Road and the Westney Road north of the C.P.R. would have to be acquired. In assessing the proposal to have an entrance to the Greenwood Conservation Area off the Westney Road, there are obvious benefits which could be derived from the three party participation -- the parties being the County of Ontario, the Township of Pickering and the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. The Authority would benefit in that visitors to the Greenwood Conservation Area would have access over a good road maintained to County standards and be relieved of the hazard of having to cross the C.P.R. level crossing. The acquisition of the block of land between the Greenwood Road and the Westney Road north of the railway, in addition to making possible a road link, would make available land for the extension of the Greenwood Conservation Area facilities. The Township would benefit in that they would be relieved of the heavy maintenance costs of the Greenwood Road which are, in part, due to traffic coming into the Conservation Area, and the County would benefit in that the road they are asked to maintain has already been improved to a considerable extent and already has an overpass constructed over the railway. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the staff be directed to prepare a scheme for the acquisition of the block of land lying between the Greenwood Road and the Westney Road north of the C.P.R. railway line. IT IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED THAT, subject to a scheme for the acquisition of the land lying between the Westney Road and the Greenwood Road north of the C.P.R. rail- way being approved, that the following action be taken: (1) The Township of Pickering be requested to close A--335 - 14. - the Greenwood Road north of the C.P.R. rail line and to deed the right -of -way for that section of the road which is closed to the Authority. (2) The Township of Pickering be requested to construct a road from the Westney Road to the Greenwood Road. This road would give residents on the Greenwood Road north of the railway direct access to the Westney Road and would provide a safer access to the Greenwood Conservation Area. If suitable road building materials are available in the Greenwood Conservation Area, and if these can be extracted without undue disturbance to the Area, these materials be made available to 'the Township of Pickering for the purpose of constructing the new access road. (3) The Authority make available at no cost to the Township of Pickering the necessary right -of -way for the new access road. (4.) The County of Ontario be requested to assume the Westney Road from Highway #2 to the 7th concession, Township of Pickering, and the 7th concession line, Township of Pickering, from Brock Road to the Westney Road, .as County roads. (5) The County of Ontario be requested to construct a channelized intersection at the junction of the Westney Road and the proposed new access road. (6) The Authority make available at no cost to the County of Ontario the necessary lands for road widenings in connection with the channelization. W. A.
