Hi.ggs Chairman Secretary-Treasurer G-5 POL ICY SCHEDULE "A" OF THE r-1E'l'ROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVA'rION AUTHORITY REGARDING THE COr-1I-1UNITY AND S'rAFF RELATIONS PROGRAM The Community and Staff Relations Policies and Programs, developed by the Authority since its formation in 1957, have provided a sound basis for future Community and Staff Relations Programs to further the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources in the area under the jurisdic- tion of the Authority. The policies of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, regarding the Community and Staff Relations Program, are based on the four principles that: 1. The Authority develop an internal communications and public relations program for its members and staff; 2. The Authority develop communication systems to report, to its financial supporters, the works being carried out on their behalf ; 3. The role of the Authority is to communicate, with the residents of the Hetro Toronto region, the need for and the works necessary to manage the renewable natural resources in the region; 4. The role of the Authority is to publicize the recreational, educational and historical facilities and its conservation assistance programs, to potential users, to provide for maximum facility and program use. In carrying out its responsibilities for providing Community and Staff Relations Programs, it will be the policy of the Authority to: L Provide members and staff with information regarding Authority activities, prior to external communications, whenever possible; 2. Communicate, on a regular basis, news about members and staff; 3. Provide members and staff opportunities to visit and par- ticipate in Authority activities; 4. Recognize length of service, outstanding contributions to the Authority and significant suggestions, which contribute to the work of the AuthoritY1 5. Develop specific programs to communicate to area and regional municipalities and to school boards the need for work to be carried out on their behalf by the Authority; 6. Provide information to members in order that they may communicate with area and regional municipalities, school boards and the Province of Ontario; G-6 - 2 - 7. Corrununicate, to the residents of the I'letro Toronto region, the vital need for resource management and the basic resource management programs being carried out by the Au.thor i ty 1 8. Communicate, through the media, the facilities available in the Conservation Areas, Black Creek pioneer Village and the Kortright Centre for Conservation; 9. Provide print material, exhibits and audio-visuals to attract visitors to Authority facilities; 10. Cooperate with other agencies at the local, provincial or federal level, to market the Authority attractions beyond the Metro Toronto region1 11- Communicate, to landowners, the value of practising conservation on their properties and to invite them to take advantage of the Conservation Assistance Program1 12. Include the corporate identity and a general statement on the Authority on all publicity emanating from the Authority; 13. Assist The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation with communication and public relations as required by the Foundation, within the limits of budget1 14. Finance a general program of internal and external communica- tions within the administrative, Water and Related Land Management and Conservation and Recreation Land Management budgets 1 15. Include, in the overall cost of a project, the specific costs of information and public relations required for that project1 16. Finance the cost of publicizing the Authority's facilities and attractions from the specifically-related budget, 17. Maximize the use of public service opportunities and self- sustaining (cost-recovering) public relations programs, wherever possible. G-7 1979 COr-tHUNITY AND S'l'AFF RELATIONS PROGRAM SCHEDULE liB" GENERl\L PROGRAH In the past three years, the Information Program of the Authority has been expanded to promote a broad spectrum of activities, including special events, the introduction o[ visitor services programming, employee and member recognition programs, and improved internal and ~xternal communications and public relations. Thus, the Community and Staff Relations Program was established. The major function of public relations, or in our case community and staff relations, is to maintain a climate in which the organization can continue to operate successfully. This is done by developing, adopting and carrying out programs that will maintain a high level of communications through: (a) internal communications and public relations1 (b) external communications; (c) public relations and special events; (d) printing, films and photography; (e) The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation. (a) Internal Communications and Public Relations - Town Hall Meetings; - watershed tours; _ member and employee recognition programs; - staff and member gatherings: retirement parties, garden parties, Christmas parties, spring outing; - publication ,)f Inside and Highlights; - Employees' Information Handbook; - Employee Suggestion Award System. (b) External Communications The basis of the external communications program is the Authority's community responsibility for the use and management of the renewable natural resources of the region. The success of the Information Program is reflected in the financial, physical and moral support of the programs of the Authority. The Information Program of the Authority makes every attempt to reach the following groups: (i) public 1 (H) member municipalities1 (Hi) provincial government: (iv) media: (v) other. G-8 - 2 - (i) Public - general inquiries (phone and mail) ; - press releases to mass media1 - public speaking; - general photography; _ programs in the Conservation Areas and in Black Creek Pioneer Village; - open Authority Meetings; - Open House activities; - official openings of new facilities; - films; - publication of Highlights; - general printing. (ii) Member Municipalities While there is no argument with the idea of improving communication between The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and its member municipalities, a careful study of the need for intensive communication, additional to that now being carried out, would be wise. Unlike several of the other Conservation Authorities in the Province, this Authority has been fortunate in having staff and facilities for the production of numerous publications, reports, exhibits and special events that provide a constant flow of information, not only to the public at large, but to municipal representatives (and other Government officials), in par.ticular. Providing a surfeit of Authori~y information to municipalities can have a negative effect if it tends to supersede the observations and reports of the municipal representatives. Municipalities should have the fullest opportunity for providing input in the development of Authority programs and budget as they affect the municipality. A simple statement of guidelines for appointing members and outlining the qualifications, duties and responsibilities of municipal representatives would be useful. A quotation from the report "The Role and Mandate of Conservation Authorities" stresses the close working relationship that the Conservation Authorities must have with the municipalities. with respect to this, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority does an excellent job of representing municipal watershed management interests and has a substantial program for keeping member municipalities well informed. Through such vehicles as the Biennial Report, Highlights, press releases, special events, the annual meeting, and other Authority-produced literature, there is a continuing flow of information, quite apart from the individual reporting that is done by the municipal appointees to the Authority. Forwarding of copies of all minutes of the Authority to municipal clerks might be advantageous to some, but it seems that the - 3 - G-9 minutes, because of their brevity and style, would be unintellig- ible to most persons not familiar with the meeting covered. Seminars for municipal officials, regarding specific aspects of th~ Authority's programs, and the proposal that familiarization seminars for newly-appointed members of the Authority be held, strike a responsive chord. These could be useful. The following are the specific recommendations for the improve- ment of conum.mications with municipali ties: 1. That the Authority should solicit the views and suggestions of municipalities, school boards and the Province of Ontario during the development of Authority programs in order that their interests may be recognized; 2. That a statement of duties and responsibilities of municipal and provincial representatives to the Authority be developed and included in the Authority directory. 3. That the Authority give encouragement and support to a provincial Community Workshop in 1979 and participate through limited representation; 4. That the Authority include information seminars for appropriate municipal and school board officials in their community relations programs. Such seminars would serve to provide up- to-date information on the general activities of the operating group, as well as detailed information on projects of special interest to municipalities and school boards1 5. That the practice of holding familiarization seminars for newly-appointed members of the Authority be continued1 6. That future Biennial Reports contain a section that would give some details regarding future projects and plans of the Authori ty. This would serve to alert municipalities of matters of special interest to them; 7. That consideration be given to a special information seminar for the Chief Administrative Officers of the municipalities and municipal clerks. These people are the continuing link the Authority has with the municipalities. The Chief Administrative Officers and the Municipal Clerks are depended upon by .councils for advice and guidance to a considerable degree; 8. That consideration be given to establishing a program, designed for Authority members, to emphasize the important and necessary role of reporting on the Authority to the member municipalities (iii ) provincial Government Besides the day-to-day communication between the Authority and 'the various Government Ministries, the staff of Provincial Government Ministries, working with the Authority, receive press and photo releases, "Highlights" and a fairly constant flow of information regarding special functions and activities, as well as a G-10 - 4 - complimentary invitation to the Conservation Areas, Black Creek Pioneer Village and the Kortright Centre for Conservation. It is also important to maintain close liaison with the three provincially-appointed members of the Authority to assist these members in fulfilling the role of reporting Authority policy and direct~on to the legislators of the Province of Ontario. (iv) Media One of the least expensive communication vehicles, the press release, is also one of the most effective methods of communicating with the public. Press releases keep the residents of Ontario informed, throughout the year, of the Authority's projects, plans and attractions. The press releases are supported by the production of a wide selection of photographs, slides, films and graphics. To further enhance our working relationship with the media, the Authority: .distributes complimentary annual passes to the Conservation Areas, Black Crep.k Pioneer Village and the Kortright Centre for Conservation; .has telex facilities; .grants telephone interviews for television and radio stations; ,does special assignment work with specific press personne11 .sends special invitations to the media to attend the Annual and Budget Meetings1 .maintains an active two-way communication, on a regular basis, with a number of media people; .actively engages in special assignments for magazine and news- paper features. It is worthy of note that October 14-15, 1979 is the 25th Anniversary of Hurricane 'Hazel' . As a special media program, this event should be drawn to the attention of the residents of the Metropolitan Toronto region, with a series of news and photo releases to again bring the event to the forefront and to initiate special written features and radio and television interviews. (v) Other .Convention and Tourist Bureau of Metropolitan Toront01 .Office of Tourism (Ottawa); .cooperative arrangements with large organizations to supply Village and Conservation Area passes in exchange for publicitY1 .business organizations - information and phtos for newsletters, flyers and office circulars. - 5 - G-Il (c) Public Rclations and Special Events The success of public relations planning has resulted in the support of programs at Black Creek Pioncer Village and in the Conservation Areas. It is necessary that the other programs of the Authority be included in these efforts. (i) In the past couple of years, the events around us indicated a need for a renewed emphasis on the Authority's responsibilities for the use and management of the renewable natural resources of the region. Along with this emphasis was an expanded press relations responsibility which thereby increased the budget necessary to implement the program. Therefore, it must be reemphasized that it is necessary that each operating group include, in all projects, an information component as a properly planned, integrated and budgeted part of the overall project planning and programming. It is also recognized that, for this program to succeed, it required a high profile participation by the Information staff. .official openings - opportunities that are unlimited for publicity and promotion; .C.N.E. participation - exhibit activities with Metropolitan Toront01 .general exhibits and displays in shopping malls, institutions and associated and affiliated organizations; .special tours for specific interest groups - waterfront, village, education facilities and overall watershed tours. (ii) International Year of the Child In recognition of the International Year of the Child, the Authority should emphasize and publicize programs that will involve participation with youth groups (schools, scouts, guides) . This could involve working with exhibits and displays that will feature the youth-orientated activities of the Authority. The Authority will establish an exhibit in the Kortright Centre for Conservation for the Inter- national Year of the Child. The Authority should publicize the youth-orientated activities in the tree planting program and give consider- ation to developing a fishing program for the opening week- end in the Conservation Areas to involve the children1 (iii) TWenty-Fifth Anniversary of Hurricane 'Hazel' In recognition of the TWenty-Fifth Anniversary of Hurricane 'Hazel', the Authority should organize a Flood Control and Water Management Seminar on a suitable date close to October 14-15, 1979. G-12 - 6 - (d) Brochures, Films and Photography One of the most effective means of communicating all aspects of the Authority's activities is visually, with brochures, films and photo- graphy. The visual method of promoting the Authority has proved to be a most rewarding channel of communication: (i) Brochures - general five-colour brochure1 - general one-colour brochure; - Black Creek pioneer Village; - Calendar of Events and Activities; - Waterfront Regulations; - Valley Regulations; - Biennial Reports; .:. Directories; _ Conservation Assistance Program Brochure; - Employee suggestion Award System; - Employees' Information Handbook; _ brochures outlining recreational opportunities - camping, etC.1 -e.g. .Albion Hills Conservation Field Centre 1 . The Bee Space (Kortright) ; .Boyd Conservation Field Centre; .Claremont Conservation Field Centre; .Cold Creek COnservation Field Centre; .Education Program - Black Creek Pioneer Village, .Exhibit Development Program (Kortright)" 1 .The Sugar Bush (Kortright) . (ii) Films - Waterfront1 - Flood Control and Water Conservation1 - Black Creek Pioneer Village1 _ fifteen one-minute colour spot announcements - 227 copies are sent out each year. (iii) Photography The Authority has an extensive record of achievements and activities, relevant to all aspects of the Conservation Authority's work, on - colour and black-and-white photographs; - slides; - films 1 _ variety of audio-visual slide presentations (available for staff and member use) ; _ The R.D.H.P. Advisory Board recommended that the staff be requested to prepare an audio-visual presentation suitable for municipal councils and Provincial agencies, highlight- ing the relationship between urban development and flood and erosion problems, to encourage sound planning practices and the introduction of storm water management measures; - 7 - G-13 (d) The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation , As outlined in the "Guidelines for the Future for the Foundation, the Authority and the FRundation will undertake a joint public relations program, directed to campaign materials and service groups, and for a publ~c service television spot announcement. T ~s may include press releases, photography, corporate identity such as letterhead, brochures, special events and general public relations duties associated with the Foundation's activities. 1979.03.15 G-14 SCHEDULE "C" THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY PROPOSED AMENDMENT EFFECTIVE JULY 1ST, 1979 TO ONTARIO REGULATION 845/77, AS AMENDED REGULATION MADE UNDER THE CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES ACT PRESENT REGULATION PROPOSED REGULATION Schedule - Section 22 Schedule - Section 22 (b) for the Christmas tour, per (b) for the Christmas tour, per student, per tour.... $2.00 student, per tour.... $2.50 (c) for the Pioneer Craft Program (c) for the Pioneer Life Program per student, per per student, per program. .. .. $2.00 program..... $2.50 1979.02.13 1 9 79 BUD GET REV I S ION S PAGE: --!!- PROGRAM: Operations - Maintenance - Community Relations - Information & Education DATE: March 12, 1979 Operations o RIG I N A L BUD GET REV I SED BUDGET Sources of Financing Sources of Financing Net Provincial Municipal Net Provincial ~lunic ipal ACT I V I T Y Expenditures Grant Levy Other Expenditures Grant Le\'}' Other Albion Hills C.F.C. - - - - - - - - Boyd C.F.C. - - - - - - - - Claremont C.F.C. - - - - - - - - Cold Creek C.F.C. - - - - - - - - Lake St. George C.F.C. - - - - - - - - G&neral Interpretive Program - - - - - - - - B.C.P.V.

Higgs Chairman Secretary-Treasurer G-24 SCHEDULE "A" POL ICY OF THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY REGARDING THE COMMUNITY RELATIONS SUPPORT PROGRAM The Community and Staff Relations Policies and Programs, developed by the Authority since its formation ln 1957, have provided a sound basis for future Communlty and Staff Relations Programs to further the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources in the area under the jurisdiction of the Authority. The policies of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, regarding the Community and Staff Relations Program, are based on the four principles that: 1. The Authority develop an internal communications and public relations program for its members and staff; 2. The Authority develop communication systems to report to its financial supporters the works being carried out on their behalf; 3. The role of the Authority is to communicate, with the residents of the Metro Toronto region, the need for and the works necessary to manage the renewable natural resources in the region; 4. The role of the Authority is to publicize the recreational, educational and historical facilities and its conservation assistance programs to potential users, to provide for maximum facility and program use. In carrying out its responsibilities for providing Community and Staff Relations Programs, it will be the policy of the Authority to: 1. Provide members and staff with information regarding Authority activities, prior to external co~~unications, whenever possible; 2. Communicate, on a regular basis, news about members and staff; 3. Provide members and staff opportunities to visit and participate in Authority activities1 4. Recognize length of service, outstanding contributions to the Authority and significant suggestions, which contribute to the work of the Authority; 5. Develop specific programs to communicate to area and regional municipalities and school boards the need for work to be carried out on their behalf by the Authority; 6. Provide information to members in order that they may communicate with area and regional municipalities, school boards and the Province of Ontario; - 2 G-25 - 7. Commun~cate, with the residents of the Metro Toronto region, the vital need for resource management and the basic resource management programs being carried out by the Authority; 8. Communicate, through the media, the facilities available in the conservation Areas, Slack Creek Pioneer Village and the Kortright Centre for conservation; 9. Provide print material, exhibits and audio-visuals to attract visitors to Authority facilities; 10. cooperate with other agencies at the local, provincial or federal level, to market the Authority attractions beyond the Metro Toronto region; 11- Communicate, to landowners, the value of practising conservation on their properties and to invite them to take advantage of the conservation assistance program; 12. Include the corporate identity and a general statement on the Authority on all publicity emanating from the Authority; 13. Assist The Metropolitan Toronto and Region conservation Foundation with communication and public relations as required by the Foundation, within the limits of budget 1 14. Finance a general program of internal and external communications within the Administrative, Water and Related Land Management and Conservation and Recreation Land Management budgets; 15. Include, in the overall cost of a project, the specific costs of information and public relations required for that project1 16. Finance the cost of publicizing the Authority's facilities and attractions from the specifically-related budget; 17. Maximize the use of public service opportunities and self-sustaining (cost-recovering) public relations programs, wherever possible. /mrp 1979.09.27 G-26 SCHEDULE "B" THE COMMUNITY RELATIONS SUPPORT PROGRAM 19BO In the past four years, the lnformation and public relations program of the Authority has been expanded to promote a broad spectrum of activities, lncluding special events, the introduction of visitor services programming, employee and member recognltion programs and improved internal and external communlcations and public relations. Thus, the Community and Staff Relations Program was established. The major function of public relations, or in our case community and staff relations, is to maintain a climate in which the organization can continue to operate successfully. This is done by developing, adopting and carrying out programs that will maintain a high level of communications through: (a) internal communications and public relations1 (b) external communications; (c) public relations and special events 1 (d) printing, films and photography. (a) Internal Communications and Public Relations: - Town Hall Meetings1 - watershed tours; - member and employee recognition programs1 - publication of Inside and Highlights; - Employees' Information Handbook 1 - Employee Suggestion Award System1 - member, staff and guests gatherings: It is essential that the Authority maintain a program of member, staff and guests social functions. These functions bring together the members and staff with the supporters of the Authority from provincial and municipal governments, media, school boards and associated organizations. It is important that any of the special social functions be held at various Authority locations. As an example, if three functions were held throughout the year, it would be most beneficial to hold them at Black Creek Pioneer Village, the Kortright Centre for Conservation and at one of the Conservation Areas, thereby providing the opportunity of introducing the facilities and informing those invited of the various programs of the Authority. These locations can be rotated annually. In the past, we have had special events such as garden parties, sugaring off, corn roasts, etc. (b) External Communications: The basis of the external communications program is the Authority's community responsibility for the use and management of the renewable natural resources of the region. G-27 . - 2 - The success of the information program is reflected in the financial, physical and moral support of the programs of the Authority. The information program of the Authority makes every attempt to reach the following groups: (i) public; (ii) member municipalities; (iii) provincial government; (iv) medl-a; (v) other. (i) Public: - general inquiries (phone and mail) 1 - news releases to mass media; - public speaking1 - general photography; - programs in the Conservation Areas, Black Creek Pioneer Village and the Kortright Centre for Conservation, - open Authority Meetings1 - open house activities1 - official openings of new facilities, - films; - publication of Highlights 1 - general printing. (ii) Member Municipalities: While there is no argument with the idea of improving communication between The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and its member municipalities, a careful study of the need for intensive communication, additional to that now being carried out, would be wise. Unlike several of the other Conservation Authorities in the Province, this Authority has been fortunate in having staff and facilities for the production of numerous publications, reports, exhibits and special events that provide a constant flow of information, not only to the public at large, but to municipal representatives (and other government officials), in particular. Providing a surfeit of Authority information to municipalities can have a negative effect if it tends to supersede the observations and reports of the municipal representatives. Municipalities should have the fullest opportunity to provide input in the development of Authority programs and budget as they effect the municipality. A statement may be prepared, G-28 - 30- outlining guidelines for appointing members to the Authority by our member municlpalities. This statement will outl'ine the prerequisites, duties and responsibilities of municipal representatives. A quotation from the report "The Role and Mandate of Conservation Authorities" stresses the close working relationship that the Conservation Authoritie~ must have with the municipalities. With respect to this, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority does an excellent job of representing municipal watershed management interests and has a substantlal program for keeping member municipali- ties well in formed. Through such vehicles as the Biennial Report, Highlights, news releases, special events, the rotating Authority Meetings and other Authority-produced literature, there is a continuing flow of information, quite apart from the individual reporting that is done by the Authority members to the Authority, as well as to the munici- pality they represent. Forwarding copies of all minutes of the Authority to municipal clerks might be advantageous to some, but it seems that the minutes, because of their style and length, would be too much reading for the clerks. The procedure now, regarding minutes, is that the staff forwards all pertinent informa tion, relevant to a municipality, to the appropriate clerk. Seminars for municipal officials, regarding specific aspec~s of the Authority's programs, and the proposal that familiarization seminars for newly-appointed members of the Authority be held, strike a responsive chord. These could be useful. The following are the specific recommendations for the improvement of communications with municipalities1 1. That the Authority should solicit the views and suggestions of municipalities, school boards and the Province of Ontario during the development of Au~hority programs, in order that their interests may be recognized; 2. That a statement of duties and responsibilities of municip~l and provincial representatives to the Authority be developed and included in the Authority DirectorY1 3. That the Authority give encouragement and support to a provincial-municipal panel to discuss community relations and communications. This Authority would like to oarticioate throuqh limited representation1 - 4 - G-29 4. That the Authority include information seminars, for appr~priate municipal and school board officials, in their community relations program. Such seminars would serve to prov~de up-to-date information on the general activities of the operating group, as well as detailed information on projects of special interest to municipali- ties and school boards; 5. That the practice of holding familiarization seminars for newly-appointed members of the Authority be continued 1 6. That Biennial Reports continue to include a section that gives much more detail regarding the vital necessity of future projects and plans of the Authority. This would serve to alert municipalities of matters of special interest to theml 7. That consideration be given to a special information seminar for the Chief Administrative Officers of the municipalities, municipal clerks and school board officials. These people are the continuing link that the Authority has with the municipalities. The Chief Administrative Officers and the municipal clerks are depended upon by councils for advice and guidance, to a considerable 4egreel 8. That consideration be given to establishing a program, designed for Authority members, to emphasIze the important and necessary role of reporting on the Authority to the member municipalities. (iii) Provincial Government: Besides the day-to-day communication between the Authority and the various government ministries, the staff of provincial government ministries, working with the Authority, receive news and photo releases, Highlights and a fairly constant flow of information regarding special functions and activities, as well as a complimentary invitation to the Conservation Areas, Black Creek Pioneer Village and the Kortright Centre for Conservation. It is also important to maintain close liaison with the three provincially-appointed members of the Authority to assist these members in fulfilling the role of reporting Authority policy and requirements to the legislators of the Province of Ontario. (iv) Media: One of the least expensive communication vehicles, the news release, is also one of the most effective methods of G-30 - 5 - commun~cating with the public. News releases keep the residents of Ontario informed, throughout the year, of the Author~ty's projects, plans and attractions. The news releases are supported by the production of a wide selection of photographs, slides, films and graphics. To further enhance our working relationship with the media, the Authority: - distributes complimentary annual passes to the Conservation Areas, Black Creek Pioneer Village and the Kortright Centre for Conservation; - has telex facilities; - grants telephone interviews for television and radio stations; - does special assignment work with specific press personnel; - sends special invitations to the media to attend the Annual and Budget Meetings1 - maintains an active two-way communication, on a regular basis, with a number of media people1 - actively engages in special assignments for magazine and newspaper features. (v) Other: - Convention and Tourist Bureau of Metropolitan Toronto, - Office of Tourism (Ottawa); - cooperative arrangements with large organizations to supply Village and Conservation Area passes in exchange for cooperative forms of publicity and promotion 1 - business organizations - information and photos for newsletters, flyers and office circulars. (c) Public Relations and special Events: The success of public relations planning has resulted in the support of programs at Black Creek Pioneer village and in the Conservation Areas. It is necessary that the other programs of the Authority be included in these efforts. (i) In the past couple of years, the events around us indicated a need for a renewed emphasis on the Authority's responsi- bilities for the use and management of the renewable natural resources of the region. Along with this emphasis was an expanded press relations responsibility which thereby increased the budget necessary to implement the program. Therefore, it must be re-emphasized that it is necessary that each operating group include, in all projects, an G-31 - 6 - . information component as a properly planned, integrated and budgeted part of the overall project planning and programming. It is also recognized that, for this program to succeed, it requires a h~gh profile participation by the Information staff. - official openings - opportunities that are unlimited for publicity and promotion; - general exhibits and displays in shopping malls, institu- tions and associated and affiliated organizations; - special tours for specific interest groups - waterfront, Village, education facilities and overall watershed tours. (ii) Canadian National Exhibition: In 1978 and 1979, the Authority participated in a cooperative exhibit venture with the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. The success, particularly in 1979, of the Authority's participation, as well as the general "Metroshow" exhibit, has resulted in establishing this as an annual program. It is important that the Canadian National Exhibition exhibit be staffed, on a regular basis, by Authority staff and members. A budget for the 1980 C.N.E. exhibit has been identified in the Preliminary Budget Estimates. (iii) Sportsmen's Show: A request has been received from the Canadian National Sportsmen's Shows to participate in the 1980 Sportsmen's Show (Toronto), with the same exhibit as used in the 1979 C.N.E. , featuring Hurricane Hazel and the water management program. The Ontario Waterfowl Research Foundation provided $IO,OOO.OO to The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation (with a matching grant of $10,000.00 from Wintario) towards the cost of building the Woodcarving exhibit at the Kortright Centre for Con~ervation, ~ith the understanding that the display be located on a provided area at the Sportsmen's Show in 1980. It is recognized that this will be an excellent opportunity to publicize the Authority.'s activities, but funds are not provided for these exhibits in the 1980 budget. (d) Printing, Films and Photography; (i) Printing: The Authority produces various brochures describing, in deta i1 , all aspects of our duties, responsibilities and G-32 - 7 - activit~es, including general information publications such as the B~enn~al Reports, the Directory, the general four- colour brochure, The :>letropolitan Toronto and Region Conservat~on Foundat~on publications, member and staff ~nformat~on art~cles, brochures describing Black Creek Pioneer V~llage, educational facilities and programs, regulat~ons, conservation services and recreational opportun~t~es. (i1) F~lms: - Waterfront; - Flood Control and Water Conservation1 - Black Creek Pioneer Village; - The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation1 - Kortr~ght Centre for Conservation; - fifteen one-minute colour spot announcements (227 copies are sent out each year). (iii) Photography: The Authority has an extensive record of achievements and activities, relevant to all aspects of the Conservation Authority's work, on: - colour and black-and-white photographs; - slides; - films; - variety of audio-visual slide presentations (ava~lable for staff and member use)1 - the R.D.H.P. Advisory Board recommended, and it was subsequently adopted by the Executive Committee, that the staff be requested to prepare an audio-visual presentation suitable for municipal councils and provincial agencies, highlighting the relationship between urban development and flood and erosion problems, to encourage sound planning practices and the introduction of storm water management measures. The staff is in agreement with this recommenda- tion, however, there is not the available time for technical staff to accompany the presentation and there are no funds identified in the 1980 budget to prepare the program. The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation: As outlined in the "Guidelines for the Future" for the Foundation, the Authority and the Foundation have undertaken a joint public relations G-33 . - 8 - program, directed to campaign materials and serv~ce groups, and for a publ~c serVlce televis~on spot announcement. Th~s includes new releases, photography and corporate ldentlty, such as letterhead, brochures, special events and general public relations duties associated with the Foundation's activ~t~es. - Foundation Brochure; - fund-ralsing catalogue (Kortright Centre for Conservation); - B. Harper Bull fund-raising material; - publ~city material for endowment programs; - extensive photography for fund-raising support. Conclusion: Since the introduct~on and adoption of the Community and Staff Relations Program four years ago, the overall information activities of the Authority have been expanded greatly in scope, as well as volume of output. Much of this increase has been necessitated by policy commitments to: _ improve the public's understanding of the Authority's basic water management function; - increase the flow of communication to employees, as well as to Authority members; _ concentrate on improving and increasing media relations, television promotions, brochures and publications. As a result of this expanded information effort, the staff of the Information Section has neither the additional time, nor the budget, to provide a concentrated Marketing/Information program that will meet the current and future needs of the three revenue-producing activities - Black Creek Pioneer Village, Kortright Centre for Conservation and the Conservation Areas. In view of this, it is recommended that a separate Marketing/Information program be introduced for the three revenue-generating activities mentioned above. It is our belief that such a program can effectively stimulate attendance and use of these special conservation recreation facilities. /dlm 1979.09.27.
