Ross Lord, former Chairman of the Authority: "Our Heavenly Father, In this amazing age, when man has gone to the moon, we have had an opportunity to see our planet as a wonderful sphere of life in a vast void 'of darkness. We now know that our planet is the only one in the sun's constellation with life and atmosphere and all the beauties of nature. We have also learned that this life and beauty is fragile, subject to pollution and destruction. We now realize that man must proteqt and conserve the beauties of nature which you have given us. Here in this Metropolitan Region, this Authority is charged with the duty of carrying out the task of developing and enhancing these beauties of nature for future generations. We pray that the members of this Authority be given the insight to appreciate, the dedication to pursue this task faithfully, and the energy and deter- mination to complete this work. AMEN." GREETINGS Controller R.P.M. Yuill addressed the meeting on behalf of the Mayor and Members of Council of the ,Borough of North York: "Mr. Chairman and Members of the Authority, it is my pleasure, on behalf of the Mayor and Members of Council, to officially welcome you to this Borough and this building. You probably realize that this is the last time you will be invited here by the Borough. In two weeks' time, it will become a city, and this is one of the last functions as a Borough. The members of Council are fully aware of the work of the Authority and they are very appreciative of it. The Authority pays taxes only to the Borough of North York of'all the municipalities in Netropolitan Toronto. I would like to advise Mr. Higgs that the Treasurer's office is just around the corner and the till is open: I am also taking this occasion to make a few comments about Dr. G. Ross Lord. It was almost exactly l5 years ago in the Municipal Chamber that I met him at a meeting I attended of the Planning Board, of which he was Vice-Chairman. He was a very pleasant man with one of the most disarming smiles of anyone in pqplic life. It was almost impossible to engage him in a confrontation because he was so well-informed. I will take this opportunity, now, Mr. Chairman, on behalf of council, to present Dr. Lord with a scroll in recognition of his service to the public and the municipality -- this will also be the last scroll presented by the Borough." -3- A-3 Response by Dr. Lord: "I want to thank the no rough for this very, very pleasant surprise. I appreciate it very much. ' It is interesting to look back. When I started on the Planni.ng Board, it ,...as l5 years ago - when I met you, Bob. I was Chairman of the J\uthority for l5 years and I was head of my department at the University for l5 years. It appears that l5 ycars is about as long as I can do anything! Thosc of you who are now around the Authority wouldn't know that I sat in this Chair for l5 years and have seen it grow from then to the present. In the early days, we had some tough times, but Mr. Gardiner backed us strongly. Over the years, the reputation of the Authority has grown to what it is today, and it is a grcat pleasure for me and my dear wife, who is present today, to have been associated with you. Thank you very much." Controller Yuill: "Mr. Chairman, I have instructions to summon Dr. Lord to appear before Council at l:OO p.m. on Monday, February 5, 1979, to receive the Mayor's Medal, and to extend an invitation to any of the members who are able to be present on the occasion. " The Chairman called upon Mrs. Gell to respond to the Greetings from the Borough. RESPONSE "Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Ladies and Gentlemen and Controller Yuill: It has become a tradition with this Authority to hold this very important meeting in the Borough of North York, for which we are very grateful, not only for the hospitality to us, as members, but for the remarkable co-operation from the staff in setting up this meeting. We can only hope and wish that the new City of North York continues to blossom in the way that the Borough has, and perhaps you might ask us back next year! Thank you very much." The Chairman presented Dr. Lord with a scroll acknowledging the contribution he has made to the advancement of conservation in the Metropolitan Toronto region through the contribution of his time and talents, which have brought honour to the Authority.

A-15 SCHEDULE "B" REPORT TO 23RD J\NNUAL MEETING THE HETROPOLI'l'J\N TORONTO J\.~D REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY \ / // A-16 REPORT TO 23RD ANNUAL ~mETING THE UETROI'OLITJ\N TORONTO J\ND REGION CONSERVJ\TION AUTHORITY Two statements usually appear in year-end reports. First, "the year's activities were quite successful and much progress was made" and secondly, "the year ahead will have many challenges". The first statement is certainly true. Much of the success was due to the diligence of our members and staff at all levels. The dedication of the members of the J\uthority -- particularly the Executive Committee -- is very evident. J\ny success the Chairman has had can be attributed to the strong support of the members and the advice and assistance of the Vice-Chairman, Mrs. F. Gell. It seems to me that people can be divided into three groups: those who make things happen; those who watch things happen; and those who wonder what happened. There is no doubt that the members and staff of this Authority fall into the first category. In a year that had many highlights, it was very satisfying to receive a letter from Dr. Bette Stephenson, Minister of Education, following her officiating at the official opening of the Doctor's House at Black Creek Pioneer Village, when she wrote "please accept my best wishes for continuing success in all Authority endeavours, which contribute so significantly to the quality of life in this region". All our efforts and successes would not occur without the continuing support of our member municipalities, the Province of Ontario, the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation, and the area school boards. At the Provincial level, the Ministry of Natural Resources has been most co-operative. 1978 was a year of further progress on many projects. These are outlined in the reports of the Functional Advisory Boards and the Foundation which follow. HISTORICAL SITES ADVISORY BOJ\RD J. A. BRYSON 1978 was a full and active year for B~ck Creek Pioneer village. The annual Rogationtide Service was held in June and, once again, The Right Reverend Allan A. Read, Suffragan Bishop of Toronto, officiated at this popular event. During the service, John Downing was inaugurated as Honorary Reeve, succeeding John Bradshaw in that office. On June 29th, about 4~0 guests attended the official opening of the Doctor's House by the Ilonourable .Bette Stephenson, M.D., then M.inister of Labour. Donations of furniShings from Mrs. H. J. Cody, 1\-17 Report to the 23rd Annual Meeting Page 2. Mrs. P. Jongcneel, Dr. R. G. Dirrell , the C. W. Jeffery's Chapter of the I. 0 . D . E. , the Uni versi ty \'lomen' s Club of \veston and District, and many others, contributed to the authenticity of this restoration. Also in June, the Herb Society of America held its annual meeting in Toronto, and included in the program was a visit to Black Creek to view the Doctor's 1I0use landscaping which was a project of the Southern Ontario Chapte,r of that S.ociety. In September, the Village welcomed t\...o other distinguished groups. The Rushlight Club of 1\merica, an international organization of collectors of early lighting devices, held its annual meeting at Black Creek. This was the. first time the Club has met in Canada. Also, members of the National Association of Decorative and Fine Art Societies from England inc~uded the Village in their tour of North America. The Richmond Hill Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee sponsored a campaign which successfully raised the funds to move the Richmond Hill Manse to its new location at Black Creek, and the ~eta Sigma Phi Sorority raised sufficient funds to put it on a foundation. With the large number of visitors to Black Creek, the need for a Visitors Centre has become evident, and this year a conceptual plan for a Centre was prepared by the firm of Raymond Moriyama, Architects and Planners. An energy study for the proposed Centre was conducted with the aid of a grant from the Ministry of Energy. The concept for the Visitor Centre is presently being refined within the context of an up-dated plan for the Village. A program provided by the Ministry of Correctional Services through the Mimico Reformatory was of valuable assistance in some of the Village maintenance work. Again this Summer, Black Creek was able to augment its summer staff with students under the Experience '78 Program. Attendance at the Village continued to be stable with a most successful Christmas Program adding a slight increase over 1977. Gate revenues, combined with sales outlet and concession revenue met the revenue targets for the year. INFORMATION AND EDUCATION 1\DVISORY BOARD DR. W. M. TOVELL The Information and Educati.on Advisory Doard is responsible for the development of policy to guide the Division's operations. The Division implements the comJ;lrehensive Community and Staff Relations Program and the Conservation and Outdoor Education Program. rl \ I A-18 Report ~o the 23rd Annual ~1eeting Page 3. The success of both, .reports is outlined in detail in the Staff Progress Report. 1\ r~w.6f th~ tiighlights are outlined. Increased emphasis was placed on tl:1e basic resource management activities of the Autority. The media -- radio, television and press -- is to be given a sincere thank-you for its acceptance of the Authority materials and its fine support of all the 1\uthority activitie~ 1,928 press clippings were received at the Autho~ity offices in 1978, which represent less than one-quarter the activity of the print media to bring before the public the Authority's work. The production and distribution of over 400,000 pieces of literature also served to inform the community of the Authority's activities. The most significant brochure was the printing of the new 5-colour map which describes all the 1\uthority programs. The success of the 20-Year Book provided the encouragement to produce 28-minute, 12-minute and 6-minute audio-visual presentations depticting the accomplishments of the Authority during th~ past two decades, as well as indicating the even greater need for this work to continue in the future. Many special events and openings were planned and successfully carried out during the year. 1\ number of exhibits depicting the work of the Authority were shown at a variety 9f events and places thorughout the year. The most significant exhibit was built for the 20-day Canadian National Exhibition's 100th Anniversary. The Authority's exhibit was part of the overall presentation of Metropolitan Toronto agencies. The two buildings that were constructed were used temporarily at the C.N.E. and will be moved to the Kortright Centre for Conservation to be used as part of the Centre's development. The fact that all Conservation and Outdoor Education Programs are operati~g at or near capacity is an endorsement of their support in the region. Over four thousand groups, representing in excess of 100,000 individuals, participated in 1978. The residential Centres at Albion ~il1s , Boyd, and Claremont were allover 90% occupancy, which again represents outstanding facility utilization. Planning is progressing for the continuing development of facilities, in co-operation with user groups ~ The preliminary site and facility plans have been completed for the Lake St. George and Glassco Park Conservation Field Centres. Construction of the residential Lake St. George Conservation Field Centre began in December, with completion planned for September of 1979. All outstanding Wintario approvals have ncwbeen received for the Kortright Centre for Conservation' with the exhibits, dipslays and demonstrations now being planned and constructed. The Centre will be officially opened in the Spring of 1979. This outstanding facility will provide, for the first time, an opportunity - especially for families - to learn about conservation, particularly management, in the Centre's theme areas of water, land, forest and f~sh and wildlife. The Centre is a tribute to \ A-19 Report to the 23rd 1\nnual Meeting Page 4. -~ the work of The Hetropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation with the total funding for the building, furnishings, equipment and exhibits coming from sources other than taxes. A dream has become a reality through the dedication, enthusiasm and hard work of the Chairman of the I'ounda tion, I-\r. Elgin Card. The Albion Hills Conservation Farm has been converted from a beef to a dairy operation and leased to a private operator. It will continue to be avai~able and better serve the students and residents at the Albion Hills CQnservation Field Centre, day groups, and the public on special days. Tne conversion to a dairy operation was a co-operative effort with the milk quota being provided by the Ontario Milk uarketing Board. FLOOD CONTl~OL AND \I7ATER CONSERVATION ADVISORY BOARD J. S. SCOTT The fourth y~ar of the current 5-Year Extension to Project \'l.C.-63. in which work wa~ carried out under the original Plan For Flood Control and Water Con~ervation was completed in 1978. Flood plain land ac~uisition comprised a major component of this year's program in terms of budgQt alloca tion. During 1978, 43 separate purchases were made comprising a total of 456 acres. Property was acquired throughout all the watersheds under the jurisdiction of the Authority and all were contained within the approved Master Plan for the Acquisition Of Flood Plain and Conservation Lands. The review of the Authority's Plan For Flood Control and Water Conservation which was begun in May 1976 was continued in 1978. This major program has seen the completion of new topographic mapping of all watersheds at a cost of approximately $600,000.00: the hydrologic modelling of all the watershed~ under the Authority's jurisdiction at a cost of approxullately $2()0, 000. 00; and the commencement of backwater calculations for the preparation of new flood lines. In addition, the environmental data collection and assessment of the various watercourses was continued throughout 1978. All of these studies will provide the information necessary for the preparation of the new Water and Related Land Manage- ment Plan. The Interim Water and Related Land Management Plan was prepared in early 1978. This Plan is serving as a~ interim guide to Authority work during the period of review. The Plan will form a basis for the overall Water and Related Land 1.1~nagement component of the Watershed plan which is required by the ~linistry of Natural Resources. This Interim Plan addresses the existing status of the Authority's flood control program as well as suggesti~g new ideas and concepts for watershed management. Tho Authority participated with the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto in the valley land study. This study was completed 'in 1978 and will -\ / A-20 Report to the 23rd Annual Meeting Page 5. -- serve as an inventory of vegetation and physical characteristics of the valleys within Metropolitan Toronto. It is expected that this infor~tion will be used both by the Nunicipality's and the Authority's planning' staff in commenting on development adjacent to the valley lands. An Interim Water and Related Land Management Project was prepared which provides interim funding for the Flood Control Plan Review as well as existing commitments for flood control and erosion conrol works and the continuing program of acquisition of flood plain, valley lands, and headwater lands. ' This is a 3-year ,project which provides a total of $11,400,000.00 'to meet these commitments. This project has been approved ~ the Authority's member municipalities and the Province of Ontario. The Authority completed a successful 5-Year Erosion Control Program, Project W.C.-60 - "A Project for Erosion Control and Bank St':lbilization iJ.'l Metropolitan Toronto". Under this program, 22 major and 26 minor erosion control and bank stabilization projects were completed over its 5-year term. This program of erosion control within Metropolitan Toronto will continue with an increased level of funding, along with an expanded program into the Regions of Peel, York, and Durham, under the Interim Water and Related Land Management Project. . Planning and Policy staff reviewed 1,868 Committee of Adjustment and Land Division applications, 972 Ontario Municipal Board applications, 263 Zonimg Amendment applications, 597 Draft Plans of Sub-divisions, 189 Official Plan Amendments, 34 Official Plans, 127 Title Searches, and 48 Niaga~a Escarpment Commission applications. In addition, 234 Building Permit applications were processe~. With respect to the enforcement of Ontario Regulation 735/73 for Fill, Construction and Alteration to i'laterways, seventy Violation Notices were mailed and a majority of these were rectified to the satisfaction of the Authority. The remainder are still being dealt with. Approval of a proposal for Channel Improvements on the Duffin Creek in the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville has been received from the Regional Municipality of York and the Province of Ontario. It is expected. construction will commence in the Spring of 1979. The majority of the properties required for this project were acquired during 1978. The second year of the 3-year project of remedial works on Highland C~eek was completed. This was the bigge'~t year in terms. of budget and works completed. Approximately $400,000.00 was spent in 1978 carrying out remedial work on eight major sites where Authority works were damaged by flooding in 1976. It is expected that by the end of the project. in 1979, all of the major ~uthority-owned damaged sites will be repaired. Maintenance of Water Control structures Program was continued and along with normal day-to-day operations, major remedial work was carried out A-21 \ . Report to the 23rd Annual I'~eeting Page 6. on the York Mills Channel, Black Creek Channel and the Lower Hunmer Channel. One preliminary engineering study was carried out regarding Channel Improvements on the Humber River at Oak Ridges. The report, making recommendations regarding the correction of the flooding problem in the area of Oak Ridges will be available in 1979. WATERFRONT ADVISORY BOARD M. J. BREEN The year 1978, the second year of the current Waterfront Development Project, produced some si~nificant site development and land acquisition achievements. The acquisition of the Guild Inn property in Scarborough was a major accomplishment. The purchase concluded negotiations which had begun in 1972 as a part of the first Waterfront Project. Landfilling continued at Humber Bay West with the receipt of approximately 170,000 loads of material which resulted in the creation of 26 acres of land. The total area of Phase II is now forty acres. The Humber Bay Boating Federation became well established during the past year and succeeded in planning and installing doc~s to accommodate 120 boats. Plans are well under way to increase dockage in 1979 to four hundred boats. Another interesting boating use was added to the Humber Bay site in 1978 in that a request by the Toronto Brigantine Inc. to re-locate to this area was accepted by the Authority. The Humber Bay site is rapidly nearing completion. The land filling requirements for Phase II will be complete by mid-February 1979 ready for surface development as funds permit. The development of ~urnber Bay Ea~t proceeded in 1978 with the installation of servicing and completion of some landscaping features. The reduction in waterfront development funding will, however, result in a delay in the completion of Humber Bay East until 1981. The landfilling of the outer breakwater at Bluffers Phase II proceeded well with the receipt of approximately 60,000 loads of material being used to create 8.5 acres of land. The total area of Bluffers Phase II has now reached 36.5 acres and the remainder of the landfilling should be completed by mid-l980. The Marina Policy Assistance Program of the Federal Department of Fisheries and the Environment again provided a substantial contribution ~ / A-22 Report to the 23rd Annual Meeting Page 7. to the development of the boat harbour. Federal research facilities were made available for the design of an appropriate entrance configuration and the final armouring of the east side of the' entrance was completed in Novenmer. The original Federal allocation to the Bluffers project in the amount of approximately $1,250,000.00 has now been expended. 1\ request has been made for continued Federal assistance to complete this project. The Bluffers Boating Federation installed docks for thirty boats in 1978 and are preparing to accommodate up to one hundred boats in 1979. The number of boats using the facility will increase steadily as the land base and protected water areas continue to grow. The full implementation of the Shoreline Management Program has been delayed due to a lack of funding. However, the hazards continue to increase. Another property was purchased and the house was removed in. 1978 .when it was determined that the home was no longer a' safe dwelling. Investigations of suitable shore protection techniques continued in 1978 in preparation for funds being allocated for this important work. . Planning of future development sites continued with the preparation of a Master Plan for the Colonel Samuel Bois Smith Waterfront Area. The Plan has been submited for approval under the Environmental Assessment Act. The Master Plan for East Point Park was reviewed and up-dated in anticipated of construction starting in 1981 upon completion of Bluffers Phase II. Data obtained as part of the Environmental Monitoring Program was useful in both of thes~ studies and the Program will continue in 1979. Authority involvement in Aquatic Park in 1978 was restricted to a study of the bird .population to provide input to the Implementation Plan. The major issues of land ownership and armouring responsibility are being actively negoti~ted. The rapid progress of Bluffers Phase II and Humber Bay West Phase II indicates that new initiatives for waterfront development are required. Plans for development of the Western Beaches, Colonel Samuel Bois Smi~h and East Point Waterfront Areas, as well as shoreline management works, are nearing completion. Unfortunately, none of these projects can be undertaken without approval of the funding requested in the Supplementary Waterfront Project. If no additional funding is received, development in the 'last three years of the 5-Year Project will be restricted,to completion of Humber Bay and Bluffers Park. A-23 \ Report to the 23rd Annual Hceting Page 8. CONSERVATION LAND l\1J\NAGEHENT ADVISORY BOARD E. V. KOr.B As a result 'of the 1\uthority's decision to amalgamate the Conservation Areas and the Reforestation and Land Use 1\dvisory Boards, the initial meeting of the new Conservation Land Management 1\dvisory Board took place on May 3rd, 1978. This mee ting , together with a tour of projects of the eastern watersheds of the Authority, served to acquaint members of the Board with the scope of activities they would be considering. It is my pleasure to have served as Chariman of this Advisory Board and to be associated with the Authority's land management programs. The Board stressed the importance of land management through the Conservation Services Program throughout the year. Over 12,000 trees and shrubs and 57,000 reforestation seedlings were planted on private lands, the latt~r showing an increase over 1977. Valuable personal contact between our staff and landowners to encourage conservation land management was made through 65 site visits to advise on conservation plans, tree and shrub planting, reforestation, stream improvements, and use of the tree spade. The Conservation Services Program continued on Authority lands this year. 66,000 reforestation trees were planted in Conservation Areas and reservoir sites. Scout Groups from. York, Mississauga, and Brampton planted 40,000 reforestation trees on lands in t.he Nashville Reservoir and the G.len lIaffy, Claireville, and Lake St. George Conservation Areas. Over 7,000 landscape trees and shrubs were planted in Conservation Ar~as, doubling the 1977 output. With the exception of the reforestation seedlings which are purchased from the Mini~try of Natural Resources, the Authority produces the plant material required for Authority programs at the Boyd Conservation 1\rea Nursery. In addition to Conservation Area requirements, trees an~ shrubs produced in the Nursery were supplied for stream improvement wo;;k, Humber Bay and Bluffers Waterfront Areas, the Kortright Centre for Conservation, and major erosion control works. The demand for plant material has necessitated an expansion of the Nursery operation. Working in co-operation with the Metropolitan Toronto Works Department, Authority staff prepared a planting plan for the South Thackeray Landfill Site in the Town of Vaughan. The planting will be carried out by the Authority and will be funded by Metropolitan TorontQ. The recreational use of Authority lands continues to provide a valuable benefit to the citizens of the Metropolitan region. Visitation in Conservation Areas in 1978 exceeded 1977 by 75,000 or an increase of -, / / 1\-24 Report to the 23rd Annual Meeting Page 9. 5.3%. The increased visitation in Conservation Areas is exceptional when it is considered that the Milne 1\rea was closed during the 1978 season due to the construction of the York-Durham Sanitary Sewer. It is anticipated that the sewer and the rehabilitation of the Milne Conservation Area will be completed by early Summer of 1979. The cross-country skiing program at the Albion Hills Conservation Area continued to attract many skiers on week-ends and students through the week-day school program. A similar cross-country ski rental and instruction program for the Bruce's Mill Conservation Area was initiated for the 1978-1979 season. The interest in cross-country skiing has expanded to other Areas ~nd additional trails have been developed in the Cold Creek, Cla remon t , and palgrave Conservation Areas. The programming of Conservation Area facilities will be expanded in the Summer of 1979 to include an instruction, training and rental program for canoeing in the Claireville Conservation Area. Attendance at the Bruce's Mill Maple Syrup Demonstration increased, with the addition of new ~ttractions including horse-drawn wagon rides and a taffy pull. The Indian Line Campground had another successful year with .a record of 44,000 camper-days. The initial stage of the planned expansion of the Campground was undertaken and some fifty overflow sites designed to become permanent sites as funds become available, will be open in 1979. Development undertaken within Conservation Areas contributed to the level of service and the reduction of maintenance costs in the Conservation Areas. In the Boyd and the Heart Lake Conservation Areas, extensions to perimeter fencing were installed during the Summer periOd to obtain better control of access to the Conservation Area and to eliminate or lessen the chance of vandalism occurring in these 1\reas. In the Cold Creek Conservation Area a second electric trap range was constructed to provide an additional facility for the users of that Area. The Cold Creek Area is becoming extremely popular for this activity. The construction of a parking lot for Winter use in the Palgrave Forest and Wildlife Conservation Area was completed and will provide a safe parking area for the users. Additional barbecues, picnic tables, and other equipment were constructed and installed by the Conservation Area crews. Government sponsored programs available to the Conservation Land l-lanage- ment Division this year provided 55 Experience '78 students to assist in operation and the development projects' in Conservation Areas. The program contributed greatly to the success of the Summer operation. Throughout the Summer, O.C.A.P. trainees, as well as Experience students. inventoried wildlife habit~t, species and erosion sites in several A-25 \ Report to the 23rd Annual Meeting Page 10.. Conservation Areas. This information will form an important background for the studies for the Haster Plans being prepared for Conservation Areas. Additional students in the Young Canada Works Program upgraded faciliies and O.C.A.P. trainees developed promotional brochures for the Conservation Area Program. Conservation Area land acquisition continued, with additions to Glen Haffy and Palgrave Areas. A generous donation of land to The Ontario Heritage Foundation enabled the addition of 176 acres to the Glen Major Conservation Area. During 1978, work continued on the preparation of the Interim Conservation and Recreation Land Management Plan. This Plan will complement the Interim Water and Related Land Management Plan. The Plan will recommend policies providing for the continued development, management and operation of the Authority's Conservation Areas. Concepts and Master Plans will provide a general framework for the continued recreational development of AuthQrity lands. The Interim Conservation and Recreation Land Management Plan will be considered by the Conservation Land Management Advisory Board' in the Spring of 1979. THE METROPOLIT1\N TORONTO 1\ND REGION CONSERVATION FOUNDATION E. H. CARD Despite the ramifications of economics and the competitive fund raising campaigns' in the Metropolitan Toronto area, the Foundation was able to attain its target for 1978, thus bringing the total funds raised since, its inception to in excess of $2,500,000.00. One of the highlights for the year was the inauguration of "Guidelines For The Future -- Implmenetation" which will provide additional scope in fund raising activities of the Foundation. Already action has been taken to expand the B. Harper Bull Fellowship Awards Fund to amplify the number and value of the annual awards. In 1978, there were two such awards in the amount of $600.00 each. The Kortright Centre Growth Endo\'lment Fund was established to assist in the operation of the Centre, and a founding grant was provided by the Canadian National Sportsmen's Fund in the amount of $10,000.00, and a special donation of $50,000.00 was received from a Foundation Member, Mr. ~17 . C. Davidson, Q.C. Wintario approvals received as at December 3l, 1978 from the Ministry of Culture and Recreation were as follows: Black Creek Pioneer Villag~ $ 74,596.48 Kortright Centre for Conservation 628,923.83 $ 703,520.3l , / / ./ A-26 Report to,the 23rd Annual Meeting Page 11. Because of a variance in the grant formula relative to capital projects in the Metropolitan Toronto areal projects relating to the provision of facilities for the handicapped and for non-capital items, this meant that the Foundation was required to raise approximately $700,000.00. Additional approval has been received from Wintario in the amount of $116,660.00 for equipment, exhibits and displays for the Kortright Centre for Conservation and the Foundation has raised, or is in the process of raisi~g, the matching amount. All this has been possible because of generous donations that have been re~eived from businesses, industries, indiviauals, corporations, estates, foundations, service clubs, ~l7intario , the Canadian National Sportsmen's Fund, and many other groups. The success of the Foundation is most important to the educational and ,historic sites programs of The l1etropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, and the financial assistance and support of all Authority Members would be appreciated, which would have the effect of increasing the Foundation programs substantially. ---------------- CLOSING REMARKS: Water and water-related problems must remain the top priority in the activities of the Authority. This may best be illustrated by using some statistics from the Government of the United States. The amount of fresh water available in that muntry at the present is 650 billion gallons daily. It is being used at the rate of 390 billion gallons daily. It is estimated that at the present growth, by the year 2000 the United States will require one trillion gallons daily. Surely this indicates that pollution control of water should be a major concern since water will have to be used over and over again. At times, I have heard it said that'we may be devoting too much time promoting outdoor education. To may way of thinking, this is not so. In our society, nearly every school boy or girl can tell you the name of very automobile on the road. ~ut the same person cannot identify any but the most common trees and wildflowers. What are the priorities? J:n closing, I sincerely thank all Members of the. 1977-1978 Authority. To you, the 1979-80 Members, I solicit your support in striving for the preservation of our natural inheritance. R. G.

The Supplementary Project provides for the continuation of work provided for in the Waterfront Project, displaced as a result of the acquisition of the Guild Inn property in 1978, including the high priority shoreline management work along the Scarborough Bluffs. The Authority is now in receipt of MA 19/79 setting out the Minister's approval of grants for 1979. This approval provides for a $1,400,000.00 grant for the Waterfront which does not include the requested grant for the Supplementary Project. The Minister advises that no further funds will be available in 1979. Based on this information from the Province, The Municipality of Metropolitan TOronto has deleted its share of the 1979 portion of the Supplementary Project from its 1979 capital estimates, but has'retained the 1980 and 1981 portions in its capital estimates. The Authority's 1979 Budget Estimates have been revised to reflect the diminished grants available. Priorities have been adjusted to provide $450,000.00 for shoreline management in 1979. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT: The Minister of Natural Resources be requested to. approve the Supplementary Project to The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Water- front Project 1977-1981, and the payment of grants requested therein for the years 1980 and 1981.

AUTHORITY PURPOSE, ACHIEVEMENTS AND OBJECTIVES .. The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has adopted a program designed to further the conservation, restoration, development and management of the natural resources of the 1,339 square miles included in the Authority's area of jurisdiction. The Authority has identified the region's river valleys, the Lake Ontario shoreline and the headwater areas of the Oak Ridges interlobate moraine, and the Niagara Escarpment as the major resources to which its programs are applied. Established resource management programs include flood control and water conservation, erosion control, waterfront devel- opment, and fish and wildlife management. In implementing these programs, 26,137 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 sites purposes. Within these comprehensive program guidelines, the Authority has, over the years, reflected the priorities and policies of the partners, the participating municipalities and the Province of Ontario as expressed through the representative Authority members. Since 1957, 66% of the Authority's capital and development budget has been devoted to Water and Related Land Management, 19% has been devoted to Lake Ontario Shoreline Management, 13% to Conservation and Recreation Land Management and 2% to Outdoor and Conservation Education. The 1979 Budget Estimates for administration, operations and maintenance, current and capital programs refl&ct the emphasis on Flood Control and Water Conservation, provide for the management of lands and facilities acquired and developed in connection with this program, and continue the approved Waterfront project at a reduced rate. FORMAT OF PRESENTATION These budget estimates are in accordance with the requirements of The Ministry of Natural Resources "Policy, Procedure and Information Manual for Conservation Authorities". There are five major types of Provincial grants available through the Ministry of Natural Resources to Conservation Authorities. 1) Administration 4) Special Projects and Programs 2) Water & Related Land Management 5) Supplementary Grants (not applicable to M.T.R.C.A.) 3) Conservation & Recreation Land Management . I AUTHORITY PROGRAMS 2. The Authority Programs in these Preliminary Budget Estimates are in seven basic categories:- 1) Administration 4) Conservation & Recreation Land ManaRement Administration a) Conservation Areas - Support b) Conservation 'Areas ,- Development 2) Operations & Maintenance c) Conservation & Niagara Escarpment Land d) Conservation Area Information & Interpretive Program a) General Operations e) Rent & Utility Services b) Conservation Area Operations f) Taxes, Insurance etc... c) Information & Education Operations g) Waterfront - Support d) Black Creek Pioneer Village Operations 5) Special Projects 3) Water & Related Land ManaRement Waterfront Plan a) Operation & Maintenance of Water Control Structures b) Community Relations - Support 6) Historic Sites c) Community Relations - Development d) Taxes, Insurance etc... Historic Sites Development e) Interim Water & Related Land Man. - Current & Capital Expenditures on administration, operations and maintenance and current programs comprise the Authority's General Levy on all participating municipalities apportioned on the basis of equalized assessment as supplied by the Province of Ontario. Expen- ditures on capital programs are financed as a Capital Levy on municipalities based on levies designated in the specific proj ects. WATERFRONT PROJECT In 1977 the Authority commenced the second phase of the Waterfront Project., Originally this phase,proposed expenditures of $4,400,000 per year over the five year period 1977-1981. Expenditures for 1977 and 1978 were $14,363,475 (including the acquisition of the Guild Inn). The Province has allotted $1,400,000 to this project in 1919, which will permit a total expenditure of $2,800,000. INTERIM WATER & RELATED LAND MANAGEMENT PROJECT The year 1979 is the first year of the three year Interim Water and Related Land Management Project. This project will enable the Authority to establish and undertake a progra~, designed to conserve, restore, ,develop and manage the natural resources of )I the Watersheds within the area of its jurisdiction, in accordance with the Water and Related Land Management Plan. I w -.J . . .- . . 3-. . ( ( The Provincial Cash Flow, which has been authorized for Water and Related: Land Mana~ement work in 1979, has required a reduction in the Interim Water and Related Land Management Project. The acquisition of flood plain and conservation lands has been altered to accommodate the reduction. THE 1979 LEVY The apportionment of the 1979 Municipal Levies is based on the 1977 assessment data for 1978 taxation purposes, as supplied by the Province of Ontario. . In accordance with the policy adopted by the Authority, the Regional Municipalities of Durham, Peel and York will be levied an amount equal t~ 100% of the 1978 taxes paid by the Authority for revenue producing conservation areas within those munici- palities. Within Metropolitan Toronto, Authority lands are not subject to taxation. PROVINCIAL FUNDING The Provincial Grant structure used in these estimates i8:- Administration 50% Water & Related Land Management 55% Conservation & Recreation Land Management 50% Waterfront Plan 50% The Province of Ontario has established the following level of funding for The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority for the 1979 fiscal year.
