The Vendors are to retain title to the remaining 12.4 acres of the property located outside the Authority's Master Plan of Acquisition and on which substantial buildings are situated. "In accordance with the provisions of Section 29 of the Planning Act, an application was made to the York Regional Land Division Committee on August 18, 1977, requesting approval of the severance. The matter was considered by the Committee at a meeting held on November 15, 1977, at which time the Authority's solicitor appeared on our behalf. In a Decision dated January 20, 1978, the York Regional Land Division Committee finally handed down its Decision refusing consent for the severance on the following basis: 1. There was no evidence that the lands would be used for conservation purposes. 2. The area of lands to be acquired is in excess of any flood plain lands. 3. There was no evidence that the acquisition was in the public interest. 4. The Authority does not own any abutting lands. 5. The Committee was apparently concerned about the means of access to the subject lands. "The Authority's solicitor advised us that this Decision was open to appeal and that in his opinion a strong case could be made to have the Decision set aside and the severance approved on the grounds that the reasons given by the Land Division Committee are not valid reasons for refusing the application. The Decision was appealed by letter dated February 7, 1978, and in the normal course of events the matter will likely come before the Ontario Municipal Board in late July or August at the earliest. "Further discussions have been carried out with officials of Inter- national Film Distributors Limited and their solicitor, and a tentative agreement has been arranged whereby the transaction could be completed as set out in our original Option to Purchase under the terms of the Expropriations Act R.S.O. 1970 as amended and The Conservation Authorities Act, R.S.O. 1970, Chapter 78, as amended. "A plan will be available for your inspection. "I recommend that the Secretary - Treasurer be authorized and directed to complete the acquisition of 124.4 acres, more or less, owned by International Film Distributors Limited, being Part of Lots 27 and 28, Concession IX, Town of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, together with access rights to provide access from Hwy. #27 to the lands being B -37 -14- acquired under the provisions of The Expropriations Act, R.S.O. 1970, as amended, and The Conservation Authorities Act, R.S.O. 1970, Chapter 78, as amended, the said expropriation by mutual consent of all parties concerned; and that the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take all necessary action, including the execution of documents as required."

B -67 SCHEDULE "B" REPORT #1/78 BUILDING SUB - COMMITTEE THE KORTRIGHT CENTRE FOR CONSERVATION The Building Sub- Committee for the Kortright Centre for Conserva- tion met at the Kortright Centre for Conservation on Thursday, February 23, 1978 commencing at 10:00 a.m. PRESENT WERE: Chairman Members: Chairman of the Authority: Vice - Chairman of the Authority: Adm. - Finance Division Adm. - Prop. & Administration Planning Technician, CLM Supervisor - Kortright Centre Shore Tilbe Henschel Irwin Peters Shore Tilbe Henschel Irwin Peters Shore Tilbe Henschel Irwin Peters Shore Tilbe Henschel Irwin Peters Fairwin Construction Limited Fairwin Construction Limited J. S. Scott M. J. Breen E. H. Card Mrs. L. Hancey Dr. W. M. Tovell R. G. Henderson Mrs. F. Gell A. D. Harris W. E. Jones J. Moravek K. Strasser S. V. Irwin J. F. Roth A. W. Henschel S. M. Manias J. Wintjes T. Lekushoff THE FOLLOWING MATTERS WERE CONSIDERED: 1. Report #8/77 of the Kortright Building Sub- Committee which was deferred at meeting #1/78 of the Executive Committee to the next meeting of the Executive. 2. Letter of opinion prepared by the Authority's solicitor, with supporting attachments, concerning the sprinkler system. At Meeting #8/77 of the Building Sub- Committee the staff were directed to consult with the Authority's legal advisors and determine whether or not a sprinkler system was required, and if so could the building be closed should the sprinkler system not be in operative condition. An opinion was obtained and the Authority was advised by Mr. Conlin's office that the Town of Vaughan in granting a building permit for the Kortright Centre elected to impose the standards contained in the 1970 National Building Code. Accordingly the Centre was classified as an "Exhibition Hall, Group A, Division II" under the code. Our solicitor further advises that it is quite clear that the Authority was permitted to erect the Kortright Centre building having an area of 13,453 square feet constructed of combustibl materials, only because of the installation of a sprinkler system as required by the 1970 National Building Code. We were further advised that the provisions of the Town of Vaughn Fire By -Law (By -Law 2099) Section 13.03 requires that sprinkle systems that have been installed in compliance with any permit shall be maintained in an operative condition at all times, and it shall be unlawful for any owner to reduce the effective ness of the system. Report #1/78 Building Sub- Committee The Kortright Centre for Conservation 2. Cont'd. Page 2 B -68 The Committee was concerned as to the requirements of the Ontario Fire Marshall's office. It is quite clear that at the time of applying for the building permit, approval by the Ontario Fire Marshall was not a prerequisite to obtaining the building permit from the Town of Vaughan. However, the Fire Marshall may on his own accord inspect any building. If he finds there are combustible materials or conditions dangerous to the safety of the building, he may order structural repairs or alterations or the installation of safeguards. On the facts of this matter, the building is structured of combustible materials and there is a dangerous condition in that the sprinkler system is not operative as required by the permit received from the Town of Vaughan to construct the building because of the inadequacies of the fire pond. 3. Copy of Job Meeting Report #21 - held February 8, 1978 4. Deficiencies Items 3 and 4 were discussed to some length. The Job Meeting Report #21 dealt primarily with making the sprinkler system operative, however, there were comments concerning certain deficiencies which have been corrected or are in the process of being corrected. The matter of deficiencies will be dealt with again at a future meeting of this Committee. 5. Additional Change Orders The matter of additional Change Orders was discussed and the Committee was advised that it appears there will be a number of small Change Orders to come, i.e. custom -made door brackets for the closers, replacement of weather stripping, damper to be installed in air intake to generator, and modification to pump and valves if required by the underwriters. IT WAS AGREED AND THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS: 1. THAT Report #8/77 of the Kortright Building Sub - Committee which was deferred at Meeting #1/78 of the Executive Committee be cancelled, and that the staff be directed to obtain new quotations for the adding of a carpet base where the plaster or drywall construction meets the floor, and vinyl cove base in the kitchen and electric room. Revised quotations have not been received. 2. THAT the fire pond presently existing be replaced with an enclosed underground reinforced concrete water holding tank having a capacity of not less than 120,000 gallons, as per drawings prepared by the Architect, numbered 7027 - S102/M102 dated February 16, 1978; AND FURTHER that a purchase order be issued to Fairwin Con- struction Limited in the amount of $56,400 for the construc- tion of the underground reinforced concrete water holding tank aforesaid, as per Fairwin's quotation dated March 2, 1978, and recommended by the Architect, Mr. Stephen V.

RE: AMENDMENT TO THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION WATERFRONT PROJECT 1977 -1981: Property Acquisition GUILDWOOD WATERFRONT AREA The Guild Inn property, comprising approximately 86 acres and including 3,200' of Lake Ontario shoreline, forms a part of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Waterfront Plan 1972 -1981 adopted by the Authority at Meeting #1/74, held February 1, 1974. The property was first identified as having a role in the Metropolitan Waterfront development in the 1959 Draft Official Plan for Metropolitan Toronto, where the shoreline frontage was mapped as being required for regional, passive open space. In the Waterfront Plan prepared for the Metropolitan Toronto Planning Area, the property was included as an apartment development site linked to a proposed golf course development. In 1970, when the Authority was designated as the implement- ation agency for the Waterfront Plan, the proposals for the Guild Inn site were reviewed and it was determined that the property would better serve as a resource park and heritage site. The property was included in The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Waterfront Project 1972 -1976 as the 'Guildwood Waterfront Area' and was, as well, included in the 10 Year Plan. Negotiations for the property have continued over an eight - year period since 1971. Because of the unique character of the property and the heritage role of the 'Guild', it has, from the outset, been considered important to bring the entire property into public ownership. Early in the negotiations, an effort was made to involve the Ontario Heritage Foundation in the acquisition of the Guild buildings as a part of the project. In 1977, the entire property was publicly offered for sale, and negotiations by the Authority continued. An offer to sell has now been negotiated and the matter is put before the Authority for consideration. Because of the uncertainty as to whether negotiations would be successful, the property was not scheduled for acquisition under the current project, and an amendment to the project is required. I. DETAILS OF AMENDMENT (a) Location and Description The Guild Inn properties are located in the Borough of Scarborough and lie in parts of lots 12, 13 and 14, Concession 'C', Borough of Scarborough. The property consists of three tracts of land, totalling 86 acres. For the purpose of this brief, the land tracts are identified as Duncan Block, Guild Inn and Wasteney's Block. -2- B -122 RE: AMENDMENT TO THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION WATERFRONT PROJECT 1977 -1981: Property Acquisition GUILDWOOD WATERFRONT AREA The lands in the Duncan Block at the present time are undeveloped, with the exception of old public rights -of -way which are now closed, but foot trails over them are in evidence. The Duncan Block is the western portion of the Guild Inn properties and lies adjacent to an attractive housing area. This block is wooded and very attractive. The Guild Inn itself is located in the Guild Inn Block and has become an important Ontario land- mark. The Inn consists of a hotel /dining room facility, surrounded by landscaped gardens, an outdoor pool, historic buildings and works of art, along woodland trails. On the west side of the Guild site, there are four residences and an administration /storage building. Road and parking areas to the Inn have been paved, and a gravel road has been constructed to give access to the foot of the Bluffs through the deep ravine to the east of the Guild Inn site. With this road as access, the owner has conducted a shoreline project which, by placing fill in the lake, has given protection to the Bluffs from erosion. This work is still in progress. This work, together with an inter- cepter storm drain at the top of the Bluffs which directs all surface drainage into a storm sewer, has reduced considerably the rate of Bluff erosion. The Wasteney's Block, the eastern property, is partially wooded and is undeveloped. A foot trail has been worn along the edge of the Bluffs, giving evidence of substantial public use. The major topographic feature of all the Guild Inn properties is the 200 feet high Scarborough B -123 -3- RE: AMENDMENT TO THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION WATERFRONT PROJECT 1977 -1981: Property Acquisition GUILDWOOD WATERFRONT AREA Bluffs. The face of this spectacular land form is almost vertical for the entire 3,200 feet of Lake Ontario shoreline that the Guild Inn Properties occupy. The Lake Ontario shoreline in Scarborough is largely unavailable to the public for recreational use. The pattern of development on the shoreline and the physical characteristics of the shoreline make public use very difficult. In addition to the Guild Inn properties, there are only three other locations on the ten miles of Scarborough shoreline which have substantial public land and access to the shoreline. These are included in the Authority waterfront programme; Bluffer's Park lying to the west of the Guild Inn, and East Point Park lying to the east of the Guild Inn and the mouth of the Rouge River. The scarcity of public lands on the Lake Ontario shoreline in eastern Metropolitan Toronto, together with the spectacular natural features of the Guild Inn properties and the landmark status that the Guild Inn has developed, make the acquisition of the Guild Inn properties a very important element of waterfront development in the Metropolitan Toronto Region. (b) Purpose of the Amendment The purpose of this amendment to The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Waterfront Project 1977 -1981 is to permit The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to acquire properties known as the Guild Inn properties, located in the Borough of Scarborough, consisting of 86 acres, and being parts of lots 12, 13 and 14, Concession 'C', Borough of Scarborough, and certain improvements owned by the Guild Inn property, and to enter into an agreement with The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto for the development and maintenance of the property for conservation and recreation purposes. - 4 - B -124 (c) Report of the Property Administrator In 1973 your Property Administrator and the Authority's solicitors were instructed to undertake negotiations with the principals of the several companies owning the Guild Inn property in its entirety, towards achieving an agreement to purchase the lands comprising what is commonly referred to as the "Guild Inn "; approximately 86 acres. We have now received an offer to sell all of the Guild Inn property to The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority duly executed by the owners thereof. The offer is made to sell at a total price of $8,200,000.00, to which must be added a sum of $300,000.00 to cover costs incidental to the closing of the transaction, including land transfer tax, sales tax on the chattels, the cost of erecting a fence and hedge around the central Guild property, and survey, legal and appraisal costs. In order that we would be informed as to the highest and best use of the land, should it be offered to a developer in the open market, we instructed Mr. Derek Little of Municipal Planning Consultants to prepare a development feasibility study, and Mr. E. J. Strachan, an experienced fee appraiser, to prepare an opinion of value on the subject lands based thereon. Coincidentally with our giving such instructions, Mr. Clark (who is the principal Owner) engaged Mr. John Sepejak of Town Planning Consultants to prepare a feasibility study upon similar premises, and Mr. James Farr, an appraiser with W. H. Bosley & Associates, to estimate the market value. On the basis of the reports prepared by Messrs. Little and Sepejak, the appraisers, Strachan and Farr, arrived at opinions of value for the land alone of $7,115,000 and $7,477,000 respectively. Predicated upon these opinions, negotiations continued on the basis that we were prepared to recommend purchase of the entirety for the sum of $7,300,000. The owners however disagreed with our assessment of value. At the time of making their reports in 1974, Strachan and Farr estimated the depreciated replacement cost of the buildings on the site at $2,270,000 and $2,091,950, respectively, but they did not assert that the buildings added anything to the land value as estimated by them. We have maintained from the outset that if anything additional to the land value was to be paid for buildings, since that land value is calculated on the basis of its entire development potential, then the sum to be paid for land would have to be reduced at least as it relates to the area beneath the buildings and adjoining and used with the hotel. These opinions of value were prepared by the appraisers in 1974. Almost four years have elapsed since then and an increase of approxi- mately 12 -1/2% in the intervening four years would appear to be justified on the basis of inflation alone, and if the buildings and chattels to be conveyed have any value, even if only salvage value, they would appear to warrant purchase of the entirety at $8,200,000. During the course of the negotiations which have been carried out, it came to our attention that certain work orders issued by the Borough of Scarborough and the Provincial Government were outstanding against the property. The sum of $200,000 of the purchase price at which the property is offered for sale is allocated to satisfaction of these work orders. They will have to be satisfied by the Vendors, some immediately and others at a later date, and the proposal calls for this amount being held back on closing against this contingency. A further sum of $300,000 of the price at which the property is offered for sale is specifically intended to be used by the Vendors during the lease period referred to below for substantial structural renovations to establish a dining room and lounge commensurate with the size and nature of the Guild Inn operation. The proposal also calls for this amount being held back against this contingency. B -125 - 5 - Accordingly, $7,900,000 of the offered price is really allocable to land, buildings and chattels as they presently stand. The offer to sell provides for the leasing back to a company to be incorporated and controlled by Mr. Clark of the main buildings comprising the Guild Inn, together with approximately 23 acres surrounding it. The terms proposed are as follows: (1) the lease to be for a fixed term of 5 years, subject to cancellation on six months' notice in the event of either the death of Mr. Clark or his incapacitation; (2) no rent to be paid but the company to be incorporated to be responsible for realty and business taxes up to the extent of the 1977 taxes on the entire Ravenna Woods property plus 10 %; (3) no salaries to be paid to Mr. Clark or members of his family and any profits arising from the operation of the Guild Inn to be reinvested in improvements to the buildings or the acquisition of additional artworks; (4) the lease to be entered into between the company to be incorporated by Mr. Clark, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, and The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto; in the event that any contracts are to be entered into which will not terminate within the 5 -year period, such contracts are to receive the approval of the Commissioner of Parks for The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto or his designate; (5) at the termination of the 5 -year term the company is to assign the goodwill, together with the name "The Guild Inn ", to The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. The formal lease has not been settled between the parties and, in the event that the offer is accepted, negotiations will commence with the Owner and The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto as to the terms of the formal lease. The general parameters within which the lease must be settled are set out in the proposal and are noted above. In addition to the leasing back of the premises, there is provision for the continued occupation by Mr. Clark and his wife, Rosa Clark, or the survivor of them, of Suite Number 344, and the office storage building known as 191 Guildwood Parkway. The term of occupa- tion is to be the lesser of 10 years or the lifetime of the survivor of Mr. and Mrs. Clark plus an additional six months, and the Clarks are required to pay the taxes on 191 Guildwood Parkway. The offer is open for acceptance until April 30, 1978 or 15 days thereafter if the Solicitor for the Vendor is instructed by the Solicitor for the Purchaser that there is a reasonable expectancy of acceptance. The proposal provides for the closing of this transaction, assuming acceptance, on June 1st and, in the event the closing is extended past that date, interest at bank prime rate is to run on $7,700,000 of the outstanding purchase price, which excludes the holdbacks. Early in 1978 Mr. Strachan and Mr. Farr were authorized and instructe, to up -date their appraisals. Examination of these appraisals will indicate the opinions of the respective appraisers as follows: E. J. Strachan as at March 1, 1978 a market value of $8,800,000. James Farr as at April 3, 1978 a market value of $8,972,000. Not surprisingly, the appraisers have approached determination of these opinions on slightly different premises. -6- B -126 Mr. Farr dealt with the matter on the basis of allocating an 8.35 -acre parcel, more or less, as an adjunct to the hotel buildings and concluded that all of the lands offered for sale, including this "hotel" site, together with his estimate of the depreciated replace- ment value of the hotel buildings, would bring $8,972,000 in the market. Mr. Strachan concluded that the value of the land, on the basis of its potential for development in its entirety, is $8,300,000 and, having regard to the depreciated replacement value of the residential wing of the hotel (the Hotel Addition), that an increment not exceed- ing $500,000 above and beyond the land value was warranted, bringing the total value in the market to $8,800,000. In all of the circumstances and relying on the appraisers' opinions, we believe that the $8,200,000 price at which all of the property, together with the hotel chattels, is offered for sale to the Authority is a price at which the Authority would be justified in buying. The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Waterfront Project 1972 -1976 made specific reference to, and provided for, acquisition of a substantial portion of the Guild Inn lands. The subsequent Waterfront Project 1977 -1981 did not specifically refer to them and, accordingly, . in order to be in a position to accept the offer to sell the property which has been made to the Authority by its owners, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Waterfront Project 1977 -1981 requires modest modifications. 1978.04.19 B -127 SCHEDULE "B" APPENDIX "B" 11 i 5 W ce O z Q g ce o 0 cc z5 i_ g P H tz SITE PLAN 7A az 0 0 3 ga S V FIRST STAGE 1972 -1976 er the metropolitan toronto and region conservation authority minutes B -128 REPORT #6/78 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WEDNESDAY- APRIL -26 -1978 #6/78 The Executive Committee met in the Board Room, Humber College of Applied Arts and Technology, #27 Highway, on Wednesday, April 26, 1978, commencing at 10:00 a.m. PRESENT FOR THE HEARING Chairman Vice Chairman Members Staff R.

RE: DRAFT PLAN FOR THE URBAN STRUCTURE: METROPOLITAN TORONTO Metropolitan Toronto has completed its draft Official Plan and has circulated this document to the Authority for comment. Certain of the policies proposed within the Plan are of direct interest to the Authority in that they relate to adopted Authority programmes and policies. Attached, for your information, are excerpts from the Draft Plan. The following comments have been prepared for your consideration. REGIONAL PARKS AND OPEN SPACE DESIGNATION The Draft Plan has identified the principal resources of the regional open space system as comprising two major components; waterfront lands and valley lands (Fig. 3, Fig. 13 and Fig. 20). These lands take in a greater area than was previously designated within the document Concept and Ob jecti.ve6, Me-titopotaan Tonon o, 1976, attached. The lands which have been added closely follow the Authority's Master Plan for the Acquisition of Flood Plain and Conservation Lands. The Authority supports the designation of these lands as public open space; however, it should be clear that Authority acquisition of the remaining privately owned lands within this designation is dependent upon their inclusion within the Master Plan for the Acquisition of Flood Plain and Conservation Lands; the offering of such lands for sale; and the availability of funds within the Authority's budget. REGIONAL PARK AND OPEN SPACE ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT In discussing open space acquisition and development, the Draft Plan proposes funding policies for Metropolitan Toronto which would affect Authority projects. In particular, the following policies have this effect: J. OPEN SPACE (page 36) 1. The CanpoM t,an, has directly, and in co- operation with The Metnopo.eitan To'Onta and Region Con4e tvat.Lon Authon.i ty, acquired and developed an extensive open -space system based on the majors ' ive,t va ieyb and the uaate t tort (as shown in Figure 13) . In addition, the Conpo tat-ion has contributed to the acquisi- tion and development of lands outside the PLa.n- rung Anea under the jurisdiction of the Conde.k- vaion Awthon.i t y. The PQan calls for the con- tinuation of the existing arrangements, but puts increased emphasis on the parks system within the P.tann.i.n.g Anea. 2. The P&tn proposes completion of the Me ito- pottan Panfza in the valley system as the highest priority. The full development of the waterfront, including Aquatic Pvtk, would be a secondary priority. (Contd Page 2). B -141 RE: DRAFT PLAN FOR THE URBAN STRUCTURE: METROPOLITAN TORONTO 2. C. VALLEY LAND - ACQUISITION (page 60) 1. The Cohpohat4on shall continue to contribute to the purchase of privately owned majoh vaZtey lands in accordance with The Methopot tan To/Onto and Region Con4envat -Lon Authoi.. ty ( M.T.R.C.A.) "Master Plan for the Acquisition of Flood Plain and Conservation Lands ". 2. Private golf courses situated along major rivers in MetxopoVtan Totton,to occupy lands necessary for the achievement of flood control and water conservation objectives and other open space and recreational objectives. In the event that these are considered for development for other uses, such lands shall be purchased according to the M.T.R.C.A. "Master Plan for the Acquisition of Flood Plain and Conservation Lands ". In addition, the Cohpohaiion may directly acquire the balance of a golf course not purchased by the M.T.R.C.A. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, Council supports the retention of private golf courses in their present use. 3. The Cohpohatwn may also acquire valley related lands to meet any of the objectives of this Plan having regard for: .the relationship of a proposed purchase to any current capital program of the Metro- politan Parks Department; .the usefulness of a parcel as a connective link in the parks system; .the ability of a site to accommodate any of the open space functions stated in this Plan; and, .the degree of hazard or environmental sensitivity of any parcel of land or water. 4. The Cohpohaxion shall continue to support the flood control and water conservation policies and projects of the M.T.R.C.A. Notwithstanding this commitment COunci.P.'4 policy shall be to give priority to the development of the parks and open space system within the Plarmi.ng Atea. To this end, the Co'tpo4.at.i.on intends to reduce its financial support for the recreational development of lands acquired by the M.T.R.C.A. beyond the Planning Ahea. E. THE WATERFRONT (page 62) 4. In making financial contributions to projects of the MatopoL tan Tokonto G1a.teqhont Plan, the Cotpoha.tion shall give priority to acquisition and development of waterfront properties within the boundaries of Methopo.b.tan Totton o. The underlined portions of the policies, quoted above, have the effect of establish- ing priorities for Authority work. The Conservation Authorities Act empowers the (Contd Page 3). B -142 RE: DRAFT PLAN FOR THE URBAN STRUCTURE: METROPOLITAN TORONTO 3. Authority to adopt projects which establish priorities on the basis of resource management procedures and considering the priorities of all its member municipalities. Accordingly, the Authority is strongly of the opinion that the inclusion of such policies, as underlined, within a municipal Official Plan is inappropriate. RIVER VALLEY DESIGNATIONS In u'.C. -60 - A Pkojec,t ion E'.o64..on Contuit and Bank S,tabie.iza ion in Meth.opot tan Tununtc, the Authority instituted a three -level system for designating river valleys - major, intermediate and minor. This designation was to identify the significance of the watercourse to the municipality and to establish a basis for funding specific projects. Approval of Project W.C. -60 terminates in 1978 and, as part of its Inte4 m Wa,tex and Reeated Land Management P'ioject 1979-1981, the Authority is proposing that watercourses be designated on a two -level system - primary or secondary. Primary watercourses are those draining in excess of 1,300 hectares, with secondary watercourses draining less than 1,300 hecatres. As the Plan assigns a role to the Authority in the designation of watercourses, it would be appropriate that it be amended to reflect current Authority proposals (see Section 7, pages 65 -67; Section 9.C.3; Section 10.C.25). ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT OF VALLEYS AND WATERFRONT In its recommendations of September, 1976, Conbe'tvation A4pec..te o6 PLan4, the Authority suggested that municipalities consider the adoption of policies to protect waterfront and valley lands. These recommendations were suggested to allow the municipality to retain these lands as natural areas within the urban structure and intended to enable a degree of control beyond that which can be afforded by the Authority within its mandate under The Conservation Authorities Act. In Section 7 of the Draft Plan, Metropolitan Toronto has detailed policies which will, if approved, enable it to implement the intent of the Authority's recommendations. The Authority supports Metropolitan Toronto in its objectives and with respect to its proposed policies. While the Authority concurs in the intent of the policies as stated in this section, in giving close consideration to the application of such a policy, it would submit that a hazard line, as suggested, must be capable of being mapped and identified in the field. Hazards such as erosion and bank instability are dynamic and, while these conditions may be mapped at a point in time, they will not necessarily always remain in the same state. For this reason, the Authority recommends that the "crest of slope" be recognized as the definition of the area within which physical hazards may exist and that a "crest of slope" line be established by the Authority in conjunction with the municipalities. The valley land impact zone, as proposed, would then extend beyond the defined "crest of slope ". The Authority is prepared to work closely with the municipality to establish such a line. This approach, however, would still require further investigation at the time of considering development (Contd Page 4). B -143 RE: DRAFT PLAN FOR THE URBAN STRUCTURE: METROPOLITAN TORONTO 4. or redevelopment proposals in order to determine the existence and degree of physical hazard on a specific site. RECOMMENDATION: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT: The report concerning "Draft Plan for the Urban Structure: Metropolitan Toronto" be approved, and that copies be forwarded to The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Ministry of Housing.

A staff report was presented, advising that in October, 1971, the Authority entered into a contract with Dineen Construction Limited whereby Dineen agreed to construct "The West Don River Channel Improvement Bathurst Street Westerly 1600 Feet ", for the agreed sum of $488,707.00. During the course of construction, Dineen allegedly carried out certain additional work for which the Authority was billed an amount of $89,360.03. The Authority's consulting engineer in this instance, W.O. Chisholm, disputed the bill and Dineen issued a Writ in the Supreme Court of Ontario on the 24th of April, 1973. The Authority issued a counterclaim in the amount of $22,300.00, plus costs, in August 1973. To date, we have been unable to bring this matter to trial; however, negotiations continued and we have finally been able to settle the matter for $20,000.00, which includes claimant's costs in the amount of $2,500.00.

MEETING 18/78 RE: WATER RESOURCE DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT FROM JANUARY 1, 1978 TO APRIL 30, 1978 Page -6- WATERFRONT SECTION Although some uncertainties still exist with respect to the level of funding for the remainder of the Waterfront Project 1977 - 1981, the first four months of 1978 have been particularly active. Landfilling and development are moving ahead steadily and plans for a number of future waterfront sites are being prepared. Marie Curtis Park - Staff have re- opened negotiations with The Ministry of the Environment regarding the impact of a landfill project in that location on the Ministry's present and future plans for treatment plant outfalls in that area. - Some realistic constraints on landfilling in that area have been defined and staff are proceeding with a review of the master plan in light of these constraints and the use patterns which have been identified by Metro Parks. Colonel Samuel Bois Smith - The master plan study began in early January and since that time three public meetings and extensive discussions with adjacent land users have been completed. The master plan which resulted from these discussions and design analysis was virtually complete by May 1, 1978, ready for presentation to the Borough of Etobicoke. The final report was completed in draft form ready for detailed review by Authority staff and final printing. - It is anticipated that all necessary approvals for the master plan can be obtained by early in 1979 so that the necessary preparation can be made to transfer the landfilling operation from Humber Bay West Phase II to the Colonel Samuel Bois Smith waterfront Area in the Spring of 1979. Humber Bay West Phase II - The site has grown by an additional 3.7 acres over the first four months of 1978 as a result of continuing landfilling operations. The total area of the site is now twenty acres and it is expected that all necessary landfilling will be completed early in 1979. - Negotiations have been completed with the Toronto Brigantine Inc. regarding accommodation of its excellent sailing program at Humber Bay West and the proposed use of the Bluebell Hull as a base of operation. - A minor modification in the proposed landfill shape has been made to accommodate the Brigantine operation and the area concerned should be completed by the end of the year. - Discussions have continued with the Humber Bay Boating Federation regarding interim mooring and final interior shoreline configuration. Approximately 130 boats will be moored in the area this Summer which is an increase of approximately one hundred boats over last season. It is important to get as much input as possible from the boaters at this time while we still have some flexibility in the shape of interior shorelines. Humber Bay East - The site servicing contract is nearing completion with most of the sewers and watermains installed and the electrical installation well under way. The contract should be substantially complete (97%) by early June. - The drawings and specifications for the structural contract which includes the park buildings, foot bridges etc., should be ready for tender by the end of May. - The Conservation Land Management Division has completed all necessary arrangements for planting of trees and shrubs on the site and worn[ will proceed throughout the Summer. . ./2 TO: The Chairman and Members of the Executive Committee M.T.R.C.A. Meeting #8/78 RE: • Water Resource Division Progress Report From January 1, 1978 to April 30, 1978 Page -7- B -189 Western Beaches - The involvement of the Western Beaches Working Committee was completed early in the year at which time the Committee's report was submitted to Council. it appears that the major issue at this time is the City's refusal to give up control of the lands occupied by the Boulevard Club and the Toronto Sailing and Canoe Club. This issue must be resolved before the Authority can proceed with any development. - Detailed plans for the rest of the Beaches have progressed significantly in the first four months of 1978 with the major remaining effort to be placed on completing the details for the Pavilion restoration and dividing all of the proposed works into reasonable development phases. Bluffers Phase II - Plans for the boat harbour have been refined very rapidly since January with the major considerations being the design of the "boating island" and the detailed analysis of the entrance configuration. - The model study carried out at the National Research Council was successful in determining an entrance configuration which provides good protection while meeting other objectives of ease of entry and exit and cost considerations. - The volumes of fill in Scarborough were lower than usual over the Winter months and as a result, only 1.5 acres of land were created. The total area of Phase II is now approximately 29 acres. It is expected that fill volumes will increase rapidly now that the subway extension contracts have been awarded. - Negotiations are proceeding with the Federal Department Of Public Works and Federal Department of Fisheries & Environment regarding the armouring which will be done in 1978 as part of the Small Craft Harbour Assistance Program. - Sufficient protection has been provided to permit the Bluffers Boating Federation to install approximately thirty interim docks. East Point Waterfront Area - The design team assembled by Hough, Stansbury.and Associates has been selected to proceed with the site plan preparation. Design work began in April and should be completed by December. - Since East Point Park is expected to be the next major development site in Scarborough, it is important that the plans proceed so that work can begin following completion of Bluffers Phase II. Environmental Monitoring - The report on the 1977 monitoring program was completed by April and the preparations for the 1978 program have been completed. - Regular water sampling on Lake Ontario will commence in early May. However, special studies of river and storm sewer loadings were initiated in early March. - The environmental survey of flora and fauna of Aquatic Park was initiated in February and will be intensified as of May 1st. Field work should be completed by the end of October. Shoreline Management - Reduced cash flow combined with the technical difficulties in dealing with the high priority sites in Scarborough have resulted in delays in carrying out shoreline protective works. - Detailed design work is proceeding for protective works along the Eastern Beaches in the City of Toronto and it is anticipated that works can proceed in that area if funds are available. - Two endangered homes in Scarborough have been purchased and demolished and a number of other properties are being monitored on a regular basis.

(b) Publicity and Promotion The broom - making equipment and furnishings were used to set up a display for Black Creek Pioneer Village at the Toronto Garden Club Flower Show, early in March. Artifacts were borrowed by the Toronto Historical Board for a display called " Love Tokens" at the Mackenzie House. The Art Gallery of Ontario borrowed several tools and artifacts to augment their display on "Ontario Craftsmen ". During the winter, Black Creek was used for commercial photography by Molson's Canadian for a television commercial and International Harvester for a magazine advertisement. Also, the North York Board of Education used slides of the Village to prepare a resource booklet and slide presentation for the schools. The Federation of Women Teachers Association of Ontario used Black Creek as background in the preparation of public service messages. The National Film Board prepared reference sketches based on the furnishings and artifacts at Black Creek for a children's film strip. The Salvation Army used a picture taken outside the Blacksmith's Shop on the cover of their Sunday bulletin. The Toronto Star took photographs early in the spring of livestock and the barn. El Populare - a Toronto Spanish newspaper, published a two -page picture spread on the Village. Black Creek staff have been called upon to speak to numerous groups. Lectures have been delivered to Belmont House twice, to the Snelgrove Women's Institute, the Prescott Historical Society, the guiding staff at Black Creek, the Toronto Horticult- ural Society, the Royal Ontario Museum Forom Group, the South Brampton Rotary and the Humber Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. Two staff members have lectured to classes at Seneca College. John Bradshaw continues to support the Conservation Authority on C.F.R.B. and has interviewed Mr. Cooper twice on his show.

B -194 HISTORICAL SITES DIVISION STAFF PROGRESS REPORT JANUARY 1ST TO APRIL 30TH, 1978 Page 2 (d) Building Maintenance and Construction During the closed season at Black Creek, the pump and valve at Roblin's Mill were checked and repaired. Also major renovations were carried out on the Half Way House Restaurant in preparation for the new caterer. The drainage system was remodelled, a new cement floor was poured and carpet laid. Recently the picket fence around the Printing Office has been completely renewed. The Registrar's Office has been relocated into the basement of the Mennonite Meeting House and staff will be moving there early in May. An addition has been built on to the Snack Bar facility to prove additional freezer space. Work has commenced on laying the floor in the Doctor's House. (e) Ground Maintenance and Development All private vehicles have been prohibited from the area around the Administration Office to help reduce accidents and to improve the initial appearance for visitors. Clean -up of this area has been undertaken with the intention of grassing much of the area adjacent to the building. Inquiries have been made into a new security system for the Village which would provide protection against vandalism and fire and could also offer savings in heating costs to offset part of the overall protection costs. As needed, sections of boardwalk have been repaired or replaced. The drains around Half Way House have been repaired and the grounds restored. All gardens have been prepared for spring planting. (f) Livestock This spring, 28 lambs were born at the Village and 4 young Tamworth pigs have been purchased. (g) Staff During the closed season, Village staff visited Colborne Lodge, the Marine Museum and Mackenzie House as guests of the Toronto Historical Board. Seven members of staff attended a lecture at Gibson House, five staff participated in a bus tour of several museums in Hamilton and Niagara, two staff attended a one day seminar on "Museums and Education" sponsored by the University of Toronto and three staff participated in the Costume Society of Ontario workshop on needlework. 2) FINANCIAL STATEMENT - JANUARY 1ST TO APRIL 30TH, 1978 Total Budget Used aperatians Appro ciation Budget Variance Ficpenditimm s 238,773 854,000 595 ,086 28 Rename 72,988 782,000 709,012 9 Develc meet Fapenditmes 11,779 84,000 72,221 14 HISTORICAL SITES DIVISION STAFF PROGRESS REPORT JANUARY 1ST TO APRIL 30TH, 1978 Page 3 B-195 3) FINANCIAL COMMENTS (a) Operations Total attendance so far this year is 33,305. Attendance at the winter program through January, February and March amounted to 9,594, an increase of 1,450 over the 1977 attendance for the same period.

B -196 CONSERVATION LAND MANAGEMENT DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT JANUARY - APRIL, 1978 Conservation Services Program Reforestation This year approx. 68, 000 reforestation trees were planted for private larriowners under the Private Reforestation Program. Reforestation on conservation lands consisted of 15,000 at Glen Haffy Conservation Area; 2,000 at Heart Lake; 2,000 at Gibson Lake; 2,000 at Boyd Conservation Area. Boy Scout groups from York, Brampton and Mississauga planted 40,000 trees at Claireville Conservation Area, Lake St. George, Nashville Reservoir and Glen Haffy Conservation Area. Farm Tree and Shrub This spring 1,500 shrubs were planted at Lake St. George. Approximately 7,100 farm trees and 6,900 shrubs were planted for private landowners under the Farm Tree and Shrub Program. The Flood Control Section of the Water Resource Division received 3,000 wildlife shrubs and 240 farm trees from the Authority nursery. Conservation Assistance Three site visits were carried out this spring for private reforestation, ten site visits for farm tree and shrub assistance, two site visits for erosion control, and two for private tree spade rental. One Conservation Plan has been completed and three applications are on file. The Hbodlot Management Plan for the conservation areas has been completed, and work is under way for a reforestation plantation management plan. Erosion Control Six erosion control projects are scheduled for this summer for private landowners. Five projects remain on file for future years. Tree Spade Five private tree spade rentals are scheduled for this spring. The tree spade has been involved in preparing trees for landscape projects at Bluffers Park, Humber Bay East and Ashbridges Bay. Landscaping Tree maintenance and landscaping are being carried out at Humber Bay East, Bluffers Park and Ashbridges Bay waterfront projects in conjunction with the Waterfront Section of the Water Resource Division. Landscape projects will also be carried out at the Kortright Centre for Education, the Boyd Conservation Area. Plans have been prepared for the south Thackery landfill site, a proposal to be pre - sented to the Metropolitan Toronto Works Department. Conservation Areas The majority of the conservation areas staff time in this year has been spent on the maintenance of the Areas for winter operations, the woodlot management pro- gram in Authority woodlots and preparing the Areas for the summer activities. The Petticoat Creek staff constructed a number of picnic tables to provide additional accommodation for visitors to this Area, anticipating the continued increase in attendance. A renewed interest in the Bruce's Mill maple syrup program guaranteed an increase in attendance to the Area in spite of the discouraging week -end weather during this period. Development of additional equipment for this program purchase and installed. The Visitor Services Program operating in the Albion Hills Conservation Area and the Greenwood-Bruce's Mill Conservation Areas continued to increase in popularity. The Albion Hills Conservation Area was required to close one Sunday this winter because of the crowded conditions. The Claremont Conservation Area was opened for the first time during the winter months for cross - country skiing activity and provided a needed facility in the eastern areas. Design and layout for additional campsites at the Indian Line campground can - pleted, and revisions in operating the Albion Hills campground underway.

All funds for the spring tree planting programs will be spent. The streambank erosion control program will be carried out this simmer and only 3% of the funds available have been spent. As most projects are still underway or near completion, revenue figures are not indicated. It is anticipated that revenue estimates will be met. Conservation Areas During this period development has been limited, consisting primarily of woodlot management. Before the major summer season is underway, additional development items will be undertaken. Winter use of conservation areas has been excellent in 1978 and has resulted in revenue being substantially ahead of the anticipated amount. Increased interest in the Albion Hills winter program, the opening of Claremont for cross country skiing, renewed interest in the Bruce's Mill maple syrup program and a revision in the price structure at Cold Creek are the major reasons for the increase in revenue. �yu TO: The Chairman and Members of the Executive Committer, :.T.R.C.A.

FINANCIAL COMMENTS A. The Information and Education operations are on target in all areas except at the Kortright Centre for Conservation.; At the c}irrent level of activity, a deficit of $30,000 is forecast. The staff are currently investigating ways of reducing this dficit to a minimum and continue to keep the centre operating. B -201 Information and Education Division Progress Report January 1, 1978 to April 30, 1978 3. Financial Comments (continued) B. The Water and Related Land Management - Community Relations Program (W10) combines both the non - project elements and development costs. The non - project portion of the budget is on target. The Boyd Conser- vation Education Complex development expenditure is proceeding as anticipated. The Kortright Centre for Conservation development budget (furniture, equipment and exhibits) was reduced by the Foundation from $190,000 to $100,000 due to a delay in the approval from Wintario. Approximately 80% of the Kortright Centre for Conservation budget has been spent to date. All activity regarding design and construction of exhibits and further purchases of furniture and equipment has been terminated .pending further financial committments. from the Foundation. It now appears doubtful whether the Centre can open as scheduled unless funding can be obtained for the exhibits in the near future. C. The Conservation and Recreation Land Management - Conservation Area Information and Interpretive Program (C3) expenditures are on target. T. E.

B -251 TO: The Chairman & Members of the Personnel Sub - Committee, M.T.R.C.A. - Meeting #2/78 - Monday, June 19, 1978 RE: ORGANIZATION AND DUTIES OF PERSONNEL - INFORMATION AND EDUCATION DIVISION APPENDIX 1 I. INTRODUCTION: A detailed review of the organization and duties of all staff in the Information and Education Division has been necessitated as a result of:- (a) increased responsibility assigned to the Conservation Information Section; (b) increased responsibilities assigned to the Conservation Education Supervisors -- especially the Supervisor of the Educational Programme at Black Creek Pioneer Village; (c) completion of The Kortright Centre For Conservation; (d) expansion of programme and facilities in a number of Areas -- e.g., Lake St. George, Glassco Park, etc.; (e) considerable increase in administration supervision of operations, planning and co- ordinating of Programmes during the past three years; (f) increasing time being spent on budget analysis, forecasting, and developing additional sources of funding; The review and recommendations recognize the severe limitations of the Authority funding, both now and in the foreseeable future. II. CONSERVATION INFORMATION: During the past three years, a number of changes have been made to strengthen and expand the Information Section. A qualified and experienced Supervisor, supported by a Secretary, has developed and carried out the Community and Staff Relations Programme. This Authority Programme received a great deal of assistance from the Assistant Supervisor and the Technician. On the overall, the Programme has broadened the work of the Information Section and has resulted in a consolidation of the Section's responsibilities through the elimination of the need for a Public Relations Consultant resulting in considerable benefits to the Authority. While these changes have resulted in many positive accomplish- ments in the overall Information Programme, it is now recognized that further changes are required which will enable the staff to more quickly adapt to several priority projects. At the present time, the Supervisor and Secretary are responsible for the editorial work, media contact, special events and activities, as well as brochures and publications. The Assistant Supervisor and the Technician are responsible for photography, exhibits, graphic arts, films, audio visual equipment, picture and slide cataloguing. It is becoming increasingly obvious that there is a need to expand the Authority's effectiveness in the area of media contact and major editorial projects, particularly with regard to developing awareness of the Authority's resource management philosophies. - 2 B -252 These extra duties can easily be accomplished with additional staff, but since this is not likely possible because of the present economic climate, it is recommended that the Assistant Supervisors, Conservation Information, become the Conservation Information Co- ordinator. This position would assume more responsibility for the total Information Programme, and permit more time for the Supervisor to establish good media contacts and a continuing liaison with these media representatives. This would establish a better balance in the Information Programme and would permit the Supervisor to devote more time to special projects and assign- ments. The Technician would assume greater responsibilities for the day -to -day operation of the Photographic Section. The Authority now has as its policy, in addition to the Community and Staff Relations Programme, the following: "THAT in the implementation of its conservation projects, the specific requirements for community relations be identified to ensure that the community is both aware of and has an understanding of the needs and purposes of the project, as required in the watershed plan and defined in the "Policy, Procedure and Information Manual for Conservation Authorities ", and that the details of the community relations component of the project and the cost estimates be provided in the preliminary budget estimates for each project." Increased activity in this area of Authority work clearly indicates the necessity of recognizing a Conservation Information Section and the need to designate a qualified, competent Head of this Section of the Authority work. III CONSERVATION EDUCATION: It has been the policy of the Authority to assign one Conservation Education Supervisor to each major Conservation Education project. The Supervisor is responsible for the operation of that project and the performance of other related duties as assigned. The Supervisors have been delegated increasing responsibilities both within their major project and a number of associated projects -- i.e., Supervisor assigned to Albion Hills is responsible for the Maple Syrup Operation, the Albion House Programme, the Cold Creek Cons- ervation Field Centre and the general interpretative programme in the north - western region; the Supervisor assigned to Claremont is responsible for the Bruce's Mill Syrup Interpretative Programme, the general interpretative programmes in the eastern region, and for the planning, development, and pro- gramming of the proposed bake St. George Conservation Field Centre; the Supervisor assigned to the Boyd Conservation Field Centre has recently been assigned the responsibility for the development of a site plan and preliminary sketch plans for the development of the Glassco Park. It is not desirable from either a financial or operational point of view to increase the number of Supervisors but to redistribute the B -253 - 3 responsibilities for project management and programme delivery to these positions. It is intended that as programmes expand, additions to the staff would: - come from secondment of teachers from participating School Boards such as at Boyd Conservation Field Centre ;i - be charged to the Programme to ensure the Authority's policy that users and not the Authority levy bear the direct costs of operation of expanded facilities; It is proposed that the position of Conservation Education Assistant Supervisor be eliminated and replaced by a Project Co- Ordinator. The Project Co- Ordinator would have the responsibility for both programme delivery, facility management, maintenance and development. The establishment of The Kortright Centre for Conservation represents the finalization of a long -term plan by the Authority to consolidate many of the Conservation Education Programmes for both the public and groups in a facility with excellent physical and staff resources. The Centre is designed to eventually accommodate 25% more visitors per year than are now accommodated at Black Creek Pioneer Village. It is recognized that all -day interpretative programmes and visitor services cannot be provided at The Kortright Centre for Conservation and it is proposed that the existing day - programmes operated in other Conservation Areas be assigned to The Kortright Centre for Conservation as part of its Interpretative Extension Programme. At the present time, these Programmes include the Group -Farm Visit Programme, the Albion Hills Pioneer Life Programme, the Albion Hills Maple Syrup Programme, the Bruce's Mill Syrup Programme, the programmes at the Cold Creek Conservation Field Centre and the Claireville Dam visits. IV. OPERATIONS & ADMINISTRATION: The direction, supervision, co- ordination, administration and planning of Information and Education activities has been done by the Administrator of the Division. The day -to -day operations of the Division have been delegated to six Supervisor= The increase in the number of meetings that the Administrator of the Information and Education Division is now required to attend prevents adequate time being available for supervision, direction, co- ordination of operations, and budget control. Co- ordination of some of the operational and administrativ functions for all Programmes has been delegated to the 14 0' Conservation Education Supervisor responsible for the B1Ag. Creek Pioneer Village Educational Programme. This has beef, effective and it is proposed that the responsibility for -the co- ordination and supervision of operations be delegated to a Head of the Conservation Education Section in order to permit 4 B -254 the Division Administrator adequate time for the administrative functions of the Division. It is proposed that the position of Conservation Education Supervisor assigned to the Black Creek Pioneer Village be eliminated and that a Head of the Conservation Education Section be established. It is also proposed that more responsibility for programme supervision be delegated to the present part -time Programme Co- Ordinators at the Black Creek Pioneer Village. V. RECOMMENDATIONS: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT: (i) the attached Position Descriptions, Organization Chart and Classification Levels of the Information and Education Division be approved and that the Personnel Aorministration Manual be amended accordingly; IT IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED THAT: (ii) Peter Head be appointed Head, Conservation Information Section, effective June 1st, 1978; (iii) Ann Hayhoe be appointed Head, Conservation Education Section, effective June 1st, 1978; T.

However, revenue continues to remain higher in 1978 - -the gate took in $98,236 in May and June, and the sales outlets took in $71,462. During May and June, the Village Citizenship program increased by 173 members to 455. The Dickson's Hill School Program was fully booked through the last two months of the school year with 8 classes attending. There is still an extensive waiting list to begin bookings for the 1979 season. The government- sponsored Experience '78 Program has once again provided the Village with much - needed summer help. Twelve students have been made available to the interpretive staff, and seven to assist in livestock,gift shop and maintenance. An assistant for the Costume Department, two researchers and two clerk typists have also been provided through this program. Late in June, a new volunteer - assistance program was undertaken at the Village. Seven men from Mimico Reformatory have been assigned on a supervised work team to assist with Village operations. It is planned that this program will continue throughout the year, providing the Village with manpower for maintenance work which would otherwise be delayed.

B -290 CONSERVATION LAND MANAGEMENT DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT JANUARY TO JUNE, 1978 Conservation Services Progress Report Reforestation Reforestation trees were planted at Gibson Lake (2000); heart Lake Conservat- ion Area (2000); Boyd Conservation Area ( 2000) and Glen Haffy Conservation Area (15000). Boy Scout groups fioiu York Region, Mississauga and Brampton planted forty thousand trees at Glen Haffy Conservation Area, Nashville Reservoir, Claire- ville Conservation Area and Lake St. George. Sixty thousand trees were planted for private landowners under the reforestation assistance program. Farm Tree and Shrub Approximately 7000 farm trees and 6900 shrubs were planted for private land- owners under the Farm Tree and Shrub Program. The Flood Control Section of Water Resources Division received 3000 shrubs and 240 farm trees from the Author- ity nursery. Wildlife shrubs were also planted at Lake St. George (1500). Conservation Assistance Eight site visits have been carried out for private reforestation; thirteen site visits for farm tree and shrub assistance, four site visits for erosion control and three for private tree spade rental. One Conservation Plan has been completed and three applications are on file. The Wbodlot Managerent Plan has been completed for the major use areas of the Authority. A plantation management report is being carried out. Erosion Control Six erosion control projects are scheduled for this summer an private lands. Five projects remain on file for future years. Tree Spade Four private tree spade rentals have been carried out. Four requests remain on file. The tree spade has been involved in preparing trees for landscape projects at Bluffers Park and Humber Bay East. Landscaping Major landscape projects have been carried out at the Humber Bay East Water- front project and Bluffers Park. Tree maintenance is now underway on these sites. A landscape project was carried out at the Kortright Centre entrance gates. Plans have been prepared for the South Thackeray Landfill Site. A tree mainten- ance program is also being carried out at the Indian Line campsite. Conservation Areas During the winter eight Conservation Areas were open for recreational activities. The visitor services program at Albion Hills, Greenwood and Bruce's Mill Conservat- ion Arms continued to increase in popularity. The Claremont Conservation Area was open for the first time during the winter for cross country skiing and provided a well used facility in the east end. Much of the staff time during the winter was involved in winter operations and the woodlot program. The Petticoat Creek staff constructed additional picnic tables in preparation for the summer season. The Bruce's Mill maple syrup program showed a renewed interest with the addition of a horse drawn wagon ride and maple taffy being provided for the visitors. Additional equipment was obtained to improve the operation. The design and layout for additional camp sites at the Indian Line campground was completed. All conservation areas, with the exception of Milne, are now open for scanner recreation activities. The Milne Area has been closed for the 1978 season due to the construction of the York - Durham sanitary sewer. The majority of staff time is now occupied by routine summer operations. In preparation for the camping pro- gram at Albion Hills, the supervisor's accommodation and entrance gates to the campgrounds were relocated to provide better control and security. Relocation of the chain link fencing along Pine Valley Drive in the Boyd Area is in progress. Plans for the Bruce's Mill superintendent's garage are completed and extension to the Bruce's Mill water and hydro systems are in progress. Plans have been oan- pleted for an additional trap house and revision to the trap layout, including security fencing at Cold Creek. New aerating pumps have been installed in the Glen Haffy fish rearing ponds. New entrance gates and sign have been ordered for the Greenwood Conservation Area. The contract has been let to do the chain link fencing along the western boundary of Heart Lake. Design has been completed for the winter parking lot in the Palgrave Conservation Area. -2- B -291 During the stammer three people are being employed under the Young Canada Works Program to assist in establishing and developing cross country ski trails at Bruce's Mill, Palgrave, Claremont, Cold Creek, and upgrading the existing Albion Hills trails. Research is also being carried out on recreation program development. Five people are employed under the O.C.A.P. program and are involved in developing cross country skiing, maple syrup and general conservation area information brochures. They are also gathering resource inventory data for the master planning program. A total of 55 Experience 78 students are being employed in conservation areas assisting with routine Area operations. The following table compares individual Area attendance figures to June 30th with the same period in the previous year. Attendance has increased 14,343 or 211% over the same period in 1977. 1978 1977 Albion Hills 102,162 93,069 Black Creek 97,357 104,060 Boyd 76,877 74,881 Bruce's Mill 78,927 62,016 Claireville 33,544 28,889 Claremont 20,285 15,067 Cold Creek 20,147 25,891 Glen Haffy 26,406 29,566 Good 29,532 30,755 Heart Lake 56,352 54,122 Humber Trails 1,770 1,592 Milne - 9,019 Petticoat Creek 19,364 15,875 Woodbridge 7,648 10,287 Indian Line Camp 6,222 7,161 576,593 562,250 Financial Statement, January 1 - June 30, 1978 Year to Date Total % Budget Expend.

Stream improvement projects are now underway and it is anticipated all funds available will be spent. Revenue figures indicate 82% of funds have been received. As stream improvement projects are completed, revenue figures will be met. Conservation Areas During this period approx. 50% of the development items have been commenced or completed. The remaining development its will be undertaken in the early fall. An excellent winter season with increased interest in the ski program at Albion Hills, Bruce's Mill and Greenwood, the opening of Claremont for skiing, a renewed interest in the Bruce's Mill maple syrup program and a revision of the price structure at Cold Creek resulted in a substantial increase in the revenue during the winter season. Ideal summer weather, particularly in June, has also resulted in increased revenue from conservation area operations.

MEETING #12/78 RE: WATER RESOURCE DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT FROM MAY 1, 1978 to JUNE 30, 1978 Page 5 WATERFRONT SECTION The impact of the final settlement of the expropriation of the Seminary Lands has been significant in terms of its effect on the waterfront development program. Delays in the development of Humber Bay East and in the shoreline management program have resulted. However, the landfilling at two sites and other development works are proceeding well and the heavy use of all waterfront areas is encouraging. Colonel Samuel Bois Smith - The Master Plan study for the Colonel Samuel Bois Smith Waterfront Area was completed in May, 1978. Since that time, the Master Plan has been approved by the Borough of Etobicoke, Metropolitan Toronto and Humber College of Applied Arts and Technology. The Master Plan has also been forwarded to the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Government Service and the Ministry of Natural Resources for their respective approvals. -As well, the Colonel Samuel Bois Smith Master Plan will be the first of its kind to be under the Environmental Assessment Act. Staff have recently received comments from the Ministry of the Environment's informal review of the Master Plan and intend to make a formal submissi to the Ministry of the Environment by the end of July, 1978. - It is still anticipated that all necessary approvals for the Master Pla can be obtained by early 1979 so that the necessary preparation can be made to transfer the landfilling operation from Humber Bay West Phase II to the Colonel Samuel Bois Smith Waterfront Area in the spring of 1979. Humber Bay West, Phase II - The site has grown by an additional 2.2 acres over May and June as a result of continuing landfilling operations. The total area of the site is now twenty -two acres and it is expected that all necessary landfilling will be completed early in 1979. - Interim use of the site is being made by the Humber Bay Boating Federation with mooring space for approximately 130 boats and by Humber College Sailing School with 7 sailboats for instructional purposes. Humber Bay East -The site services contract is not yet complete with the main outstandin item the supply and installation of light fixtures. - The drawings and specifications for the structural contract which inch the park buildings, foot bridges, etc. are virtually completed. However, due to financial constraints, tenders will not be called this year. - The Conservation Land Management Division is proceeding on schedule with their planting and maintenance of trees and shrubs on the site.

Meeting #12/78 RE: Water Resource Division Progress Report From May 1, 1978 to June 30, 1978 Page 6 Western Beaches - The detailed master plan and proposed programme of development will be completed in draft form by mid August ready for final review before contract drawings are prepared. Bluffers, Phase II - During May and June, 1.6 acres of land were created bringing the total to approximately 30 acres. - Landfilling of the boating island ceased in May with enough protected water created to allow the Bluffers Park Boating Federation to moor 30 boats on an interim basis. - Public Works Canada has prepared drawings and specifications for the armouring contract of the headland forming the eastern side of the entrance. It is expected that work on the contract will start in August. Landfilling of the headlands, in preparation for armouring is now proceeding. East Point -The design team assembled by Hough Stansbury and Associates is presently proceeding with site plan preparation for the East Point Waterfront Area. - The gathering of background data and the demand analysis for potential park components will be completed by mid - August, 1978, followed by the determination of size requirements for all park components. -This work will complete the first half of the study by the end of September, 1978. -The East Point Study is also being phased so as to benefit from the Environmental Assessment process through which the Colonel Samuel Bois Smith Master Plan will be subjected. -Since East Point Park is expected to be the next major development site in Scarborough, it is important that the plans proceed so that work can begin following completion of Bluffers Phase II. Environmental Monitoring - The 1978 monitoring program was initiated in May. - Routine water quality sampling has been undertaken at 47 stations across the waterfront. - Special environmental studies on river and storm sewer loadings, bacteria associated with bathing beaches, and nutrient - bacteria loadings arising'from waterfowl have been undertaken. - Continuous water temperature recording units have been set up in the waterfront embayments to provide an indication of thermally induced water movements. Vandalism has been a problem with 5 of 13 units being damaged. Steps are being taken to protect the units from further damage. - The environmental survey of the flora and fauna of Aquatic Park is proceeding on schedule and will be complete by November.

The deficit is due to lower revenue than anticipated and higher operating expenses. The lower revenue will be a result of the Centre not opening as scheduled in September due to a delay in Wintario grant approval. The higher than anticipated costs are a result of high food services costs, certain exhibit development costs being charged to operations as a result of the delay in the approval of Wintario grant and difficulty in determining precise cost estimates prior to occupancy of the Centre. B -304 Financial Comments (cont'd) All costs are being carefully monitored and kept to the minimum and a more realistic and precise budget estimate will be developed for 1979. B. Water and Related Land Management - Community Relations Program (W10) Expenditures for non - project elements are in line with the budget estimates. The expenditures for development of the Boyd Education Complex are on target. Expenditures on the exhibit development program at the Kortright Centre for Conservation have now essentially been curtailed for three months pending Wintario approval. This delay will require that the official opening of the Centre be rescheduled to the Spring of 1979. C.

Harris Administrator Finance Division TO: The Chairman and Members of the 'Executive Committee, M.T.R.C.A. Meeting #12/78. RE: NIAGARA ESCARPMENT COMMISSION - PRELIMINARY PROPOSALS B -307 SCHEDULE "B" BACKGROUND In 1967, a Select Committee on Conservation Authorities recommended that the Province develop, in conjunction with interested ministries, agencies and the general public, a "long range policy and comprehensive development plan for the Niagara Escarpment ". The plan was to consider both the preservation of this feature for aesthetic, hydrologic, historical and recreational use, and its economic value as an aggregate source and was to achieve coordination of municipal land -use designations throughout the Escarpment area. During 1967, considerable initiative was exerted by the Conservation Authorities in Ontario toward the establishment of Provincial policies and supporting programmes to preserve the natural landscape features of the Niagara Escarpment. Two meetings were hosted by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation, Authority which drew together representatives of the eight Authorities sharing jurisdiction within the Niagara Escarpment Lands and requested the Province of Ontario to make available extraordinary funding for the purchase of these lands. In response to the growing public and government interest in the Niagara Escarpment, the Province established the Niagara Escarpment Study under professor L.O. Gertler. Their report, released in 1969, recommended the acquisition of approximately 55,000 acres of land for the establishment of a park system to safeguard special features of the Escarpmen and to provide a variety of outdoor recreation facilities. A second category of lands, approximately 35,000 acres, was recommended for aeLective cont)tot which would include the purchase of scenic easements and the exercise of other rights, not including acquisition, to protect the landscape and make the land available for certain public uses. A third category, approximately 300,000 acres, was recommended for environmental control by regulatory means. The then Department of Municipal Affairs was to establish the controls and ensure their inclusion in municipal official plans. Further, it was recommen. that the Province of Ontario make available funds for acquisition. The Authority was subsequently advised that it would be assigned the responsibility for acquiring lands within a,designated section of the Escarpment. In the spring of 1970, the Province established a grant structure4,75 %,to be available to Conservation Authorities for the'acquisition of such lands. Following this announcement, the Authority reviewed'its previous recommendations respecting Niagara Escarpment Lands acquisition and submitted a Plan identifying those lands,,which were to be eligible for Provincial grants. High priority for acquisition,was determined by, the physical characteristics of the lands; environmental sensitivity to development, scenic qualities and the lands being located to effectively link lands, already in Author,i,ty ownership. Approximately 5,000 acres on the Niagara Escarpment were mapped -as high priority lands, of which certain.properties (,including Glen Hatfy.Conservation Area) Fad`heen acquired previously by the Authority. In 1972, the Province established the Niagara Escarpment Task Force, an Inter - Ministerial Committee to identify means of implementing the recommendations of the Gertler report. The Task Force Report "To Save the Escarpmeant.- ,December 1972" led to the passage of the Niagara' Escarpment Planning and ,Development Act in ,1973- ,and.,the establishment- of ,the Niagara' Escarpment Commission. The Authority has continued to_participate in the planning_process respecting the ' Escaarpment, consulti.ng'first with'the Niagara Escarpment Task Force during 1972, and then with the Niagara'Escarpment Commission subsequent to its appointment in 1973. Authority participation has included:, the review;,of development control proposals made by the Commission; the ,review of applications for development within Authority jurisdiction made in compliance with The Niagara,Escarpment Planning and Development Act, 1973;.., and the acquisition of lands;(within the approved-area. As of December, 1977, the Authority had acquired approximately -1,775 acres o #.land within the Niagara Escarpment Planning Area, of which 595 acres are designated Humber Forest lands and are under management agreement with the Ministry of Natural Resources. The remaining properties consist of 752 acres owned prior to 1970 as the Glen Baffy Conservation Area; 176 acres purchased as part of Palgrave,Forest and Wildlife Area; and 252 acres identified as Niagara, Escarpment lands. Due to,changes in Provincial cash flow, all lands within the Niagara Escarpment des,ignatLon did_no.t.receive 75% provincial 'funding. They were, however, all within the area approved for Authority acquisition in 1970. - ' On,a' number of ,occasions Once a970, the Authority has•been requested to .purchase lands within the \ Plannin when. deve Rpmeat.. had., begn pro,p,osed: , Due,., to la,ck:gf funding, B -308 NIAGARA ESCARPMENT COMMISSION - PRELIMINARY PROPOSALS Page 2 however, such purchases have not always been possible. NIAGARA ESCARPMENT COMMISSION - PRELIMINARY PROPOSALS The Staff Committee on Planning and Policy have considered the Preliminary Proposals of the Niagara Escarpment Commission and representatives of the Authority and the Commission have met to discuss the proposals. The Plan area, as defined in the Preliminary Proposals, is divided into eleven Basic Designations for policy purposes and seven Overlay Designations (* indicates Designations commented upon). A) Basic Designations . Forest Areas* . General Rural Areas* . Lakeshore Areas . Lakeshore Residential Areas . MinEral Resource Areas* . Scarp Areas . Scenic Drives* . Bruce Trail* . Special Areas . Special IN Mixed Agricultural Areas . Urban Areas (Existing 1974) B) Overlay Designations Cultural Areas Hazard Areas* Natural Areas* Scarp Protection Areas Scenic Resource Areas . Minor Urban Areas . Provincial Acquisition Areas* Attached, for your information, are the Goal, Objectives and Contents of the Commission's proposals, as set out in the Niagara Escarpment Planning and Development Act (1973), which guided the Commission in its work. Discussions with Commission representatives have confirmed the preliminary nature of the current proposals and the Commission's awareness of the need for revisions prior to the presentation of its Plan. The following review deals only with those areas of the Preliminary Proposals which are of concern to the Authority as a result of adopted policies and programmes. In addition, the Proposals have been examined with reference to the Authority's proposed Water and Related Land Management Plan. Under the latter, the Niagara Escarpment lands will fall within the Upper Valley - Zone II classification for Authority policy purposes. 1. The Planning Area The Preliminary Proposals, as received, refer to a planning area of approximately 2031 square miles. Since the initial circulation of the proposals, however, the Province has decided to reduce this jurisdiction by about 60%, trimming those areas which do not have direct relationship to the Escarpment. The actual location of the relocated boundary has not been finalized and is currently the subject of discussion between the Commission and each affected municipality (including the Town of Caledon). It should be made clear to the Commission THAT, WHILE THE AUTHORITY DOES NOT DISPUTE THE RELOCATION OF THE NIAGARA ESCARPMENT COMMISSION'S PLANNING BOUNDARY, THIS DOES NOT IMPLY THAT THE DELETED LANDS ARE NECESSARILY SUITABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT. CERTAIN NATURAL RESOURCE COMPONENTS, INCLUDING HEADWATER STREAMS, WETLANDS AND RECHARGE AREAS, ARE OF INTEREST TO THE AUTHORITY AND MUST BE DEALT WITH CONSISTENTLY REGARDLESS OF THEIR LOCATION WITH RESPECT TO THE COMMISSION'S JURISDICTION. 2. Forest Areas Objectives: To designate those present forest areas best suited to production; maintain and enhance woodland wildlife habitat; provide recreational opportunities; minimize erosion, drifting and frost damage; maintain and enhance landscape quality; and maintain and enhance water resources. Comment: The proposals within this section do not conflict with existing or proposed Authority policy. However, it is recommended THAT THE COMMISSION RECOGNIZE THE NEED FOR AND DEVELOP POLICY STATEMENTS TO ENCOURAGE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ADDITIONAL FOREST NIAGARA ESCARPMENT COMMISSION - PRELIMINARY PROPOSALS B -309 Page 3 COVER, PARTICULARLY IN AREAS WHERE THERE ARE EXISTING STREAM BANK STABILIZATION AND SOIL EROSION PROBLEMS. 3. General Rural Areas Objectives: To enable farming and agricultural use consistent with the open landscape character; minimize conflicts between farming and other activities; enable limited rural residential, farm- related commercial and farm- related industrial use; provide outdoor recreation; and encourage shelter belts and woodland for wildlife and livestock management (to be assisted by programmes of the Ministry of Natural Resources; Comment: It is recommended THAT THE NIAGARA ESCARPMENT COMMISSION BE INFORMED THAT THE AUTHORITY, THROUGH ITS CONSERVATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAMMES, ALSO PROVIDES ADVICE AND PLANTING MATERIALS TO PRIVATE LANDOWNERS FOR BANK STABILIZATION, FARM TREE REPLACEMENT, AND WILDLIFE HABITAT PURPOSES. 4. Mineral Resource Areas Objectives: To identify and enable the exploitation of mineral aggregates where a minimum of environmental and social disruption would result; provide for site rehabilitation and after use; relocate extractive use where presently disruptive; to recognize the limitations of the Escarpment to provide excessive supplies of aggregates without suffering environmental and social disruption; and to recognize a municipal responsibility for administration and regulation of land use. Comment: The Mineral Resource designation, occurs in proximity to a number of headwater streams to the Humber River (in the vicinity of Caledon East and to the north of Highway 9 in Mono and Adjala). The Authority is concerned THAT THE DEVELOPMENT OF AGGREGATE RESOURCE EXTRACTION NOT BE PERMITTED TO CONFLICT WITH AUTHORITY WATER AND RELATED LAND MANAGEMENT POLICIES FOR HEADWATER AREAS. In discussing restoration of abandoned pits and quarries, the Commission proposes the establishment of a provincial fund for property acquisition or for rehabilitation grants. A number of such abandoned sites have, in the past, been turned over to the Authority for management and currently, in cooperation with the Aggregate Producers Association of Ontario, the Authority is involved in a major rehabilitation project at Glen Major. It would be appropriate, therefore, THAT, SHOULD A PROVINCIAL FUND BE ESTABLISHED TO ENABLE THE RESTORATION OF ABANDONED PITS AND QUARRIES, THE AUTHORITY BE DESIGNATED TO RECEIVE GRANTS TO CARRY OUT REHABILITATION PROGRAMMES ON ELIGIBLE AUTHORITY LANDS. 5. Scenic Drives Objectives: To provide recreational driving opportunities for viewing scenic amenities along the Niagara Escarpment compatible with, and not having an adverse impact on, scenic and /or environmental quality. Comment: The Authority has long been interested in the retention and improvement of scenic drives and in this connection, in 1968, convened a symposium on "Roadside Plantings and Wayside Conservation ". The Niagara Escarpment Commission should be informed THAT THE AUTHORITY SUPPORTS THE CONCEPT OF A SCENIC DRIVE SYSTEM ALONG THE NIAGARA ESCARPMENT SUBJECT TO THE SYSTEM NOT HAVING AN ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT. 6. Bruce Trail Objectives: To identify and secure public access to an Optimum Route for the Bruce Trail; to provide associated camping and parking facilities; and to ensure maintenance, management and regulation of use. Comment: The Optimum Route of the Bruce Trail, as designated by the Commission, is, according to Commission representatives, at this time, conceptual. As shown, the Trail crosses the Glen Haffy Conservation Area. Authority staff have been involved in discussions with the Bruce Trail Association regarding the use of the Area as part of the system and, subject to certain conditions, have supported this proposal. While recognizing that the present routing is conceptual, the Commission should be informed THAT THE DESIGNATED LOCATION OF THE BRUCE TRAIL, AS IT CROSSES THE GLEN HAPPY CONSERVATION AREA, IS NOT SUITABLE AS IT WILL INTERFERE WITH THE EXISTING HATCHERY AND FISH POND OPERATION and further, THAT A MORE EASTERLY ROUTE SHOULD BE DETERMINED IN CONSULTATION WITH AUTHORITY STAFF. The Authority has adopted regulations under The Conservation Authorities Act pertinent to public use of Authority owned lands. The Commission proposes regulations which are specific to the Bruce Trail and its use by the public. It should be made clear THAT, WHILE THE AUTHORITY SUPPORTS THE INCLUSION OF ITS LANDS WITHIN THE BRUCE TRAIL SYSTEM, THE USE OF THESE LANDS WILL BE SUBJECT TO REGULATIONS MADE BY THE AUTHORITY )J. V NIAGARA ESCARPMENT COMMISSION - PRELIMINARY PROPOSALS Page 4 UNDER THE CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES ACT. The Commission has recommended that the Province of Ontario secure "the Optimum Route for the Bruce Trail through gradual acquisition ", and proposes Conservation Authorities as major agents for public land acquisition within the Niagara Escarpment area. It should be made clear THAT AUTHORITY LAND ACQUISITION IS FUNDED ON THE BASIS OF ADOPTED WATER AND RELATED LAND MANAGEMENT PROJECTS AND THAT IT IS UNLIKELY THAT PROVINCIAL FUNDS WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES FOR THE PURCHASE OF LAND SOLELY TO SECURE THE ROUTE OF THE BRUCE TRAIL. 7. Hazard Areas Objectives: To reduce potential damage or loss of life in hazard areas; and to protect the storage capacity of floodplains and minimize potential for erosion. Comment: The Authority has adopted regulations under The Conservation Authorities Act with respect to Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways. The Commission, in discussing permitted uses in hazard areas, recognizes, in part, the requirements of the Authority under Ontario Regulation 735/73 regarding Fill and Construction. It should be added, however, THAT ONTARIO REGULATION 735/73 REQUIRES AUTHORITY CONSENT FOR FILL, CONSTRUCTION AND ALTERATION TO WATERWAYS AND THAT THOSE STATEMENTS DEALING WITH AUTHORITY REQUIREMENTS BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE "INTERFERENCE, CHANGING, ALTERING OR DIVERTING OF ANY WATERCOURSE ". Further, it should be understood THAT THE USE OF LAND WITHIN THE AREA REGULATED BY THE AUTHORITY FOR FILL, CONSTRUCTION AND ALTERATION TO WATERWAYS WILL BE SUBJECT TO AUTHORITY PERMISSION IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER REQUIREMENTS ADOPTED IN THE NIAGARA ESCARPMENT MASTER PLAN. 8. Natural Areas Objectives: To designate natural areas of geological, geomorphological and ecological interest; to maintain and enhance natural wildlife habitats; to protect designated Natural Areas from adverse impacts by development; to encourage compatible land uses; and to support interested local residents in the identification and preservation of Natural Areas. Comment: The Niagara Escarpment Commission proposes that the Province and the municipalities work toward identifying and studying environmentally significant natural areas. The Authority in its draft Water and Related Land Management Plan, proposes to regulate "wetlands, source areas, recharge areas and other biologically significant lands ". In addition, a programme is being established to "enhance the headwaters' function" through acquisition. It is recommended THAT THE AUTHORITY BE CONSULTED BY THE PROVINCE AND THOSE CONCERNED MUNICIPALITIES WITH RESPECT TO FUTURE PROPOSALS FOR NATURAL AREA DESIGNATION, STUDY, REGULATION AND ACQUISITION. In discussing permitted uses within the Natural Areas designation, the Commission proposes that: "a request for approval shall be made to the body responsible for the administration of the Plan, which, in consultation with the Ministry of Natural Resources shall prepare a report documenting the qualities of the Natural Area affected and the possible effects of the proposal upon the integrity of that Area as a whole." Under The Environmental Assessment Act such provisions for development proposals already exist. Moreover, the "proponent" of a project is required to produce the required environmental assessment. It would not be desirable to further complicate the planning process by the addition of another agency approval. The Authority, for certain works, is, itself, now subject to approvals by its member municipalities and the Province of Ontario (the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of the Environment, under The Environmental Assessment Act). The Province of Ontario in establishing an administrative framework for the approved Master Plan of the Niagara Escarpment should require THAT THE PROPONENT OF ANY DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL AFFECTING LANDS DESIGNATED AS NATURAL AREAS BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PREPARATION or THE REQUIRED ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW OR ASSESSMENT and further THAT THE POSSIBLE DUPLICATION OF REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE APPROVED NIAGARA ESCARPMENT MASTER PLAN AND THE ENVIRO'NMENTA ASSESSMENT ACT BE ELIMINATED. 9. Provincial Acquisition Areas Objectives: To provide adequate public access to the Escarpment; protect unique areas; provide outdoor recreation opportunities; and develop a programme for the public acquisition of lands. Comment: The Authority, in the early 1970's purchased Niagara Escarpment lands with NIAGARA ESCARPMENT COMMISSION - PRELIMINARY PROPOSALS B -311 Page 5 the assistance of grants made available through the Province of Ontario. Recently, however, while this remains an approved Authority acquisition programme, few purchases have been possible due to lack of Provincial funding. Should it be the intent of the Province to designate Conservation Authorities as its agent for the acquisition of Niagara Escarpment lands, it must be recognized THAT FOR THE AUTHORITY TO ASSUME THE RESPONSIBILITY OF LAND ACQUISITION FOR NIAGARA ESCARPMENT PURPOSES, A CLEAR MANDATE MUST BE ESTABLISHED AND PROVINCIAL FUNDS MADE AVAILABLE. In designating areas for Provincial Acquisition, the Commission has mapped the aggregate of all lands proposed for acquisition by the Ministry of Natural Resources and the affected Conservation Areas. It should be pointed out THAT THE LANDS CURRENTLY DESIGNATED FOR ACQUISITION BY THE AUTHORITY ARE NOT NIAGARA ESCARPMENT LANDS, PER SE, BUT WERE SELECTED PRIMARILY ON THE BASIS OF THEIR ABILITY TO FULFIL THE AUTHORITY'S MANDATE FOR WATER AND RELATED LAND MANAGEMENT AND, SECONDLY, FOR THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO THE ESCARPMENT. There are, no doubt, many sections of the Escarpment which have not been considered for public acquisition on the basis of existing mandates and funding. Certain previously undesignated lands may have much greater significance for the preservation and protection of the Escarpment. It is recommended THAT THE NIAGARA ESCARPMENT COMMISSION IDENTIFY AND DESIGNATE THOSE LANDS SUITABLE FOR PROVINCIAL ACQUISITION FOR THE SPECIFIC PURPOSE OF PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION OF THE ESCARPMENT. In addition to specific policy proposals for the designated land uses and overlays, the Commission has also proposed policies for two general areas - water resources and recreation. 10. General Water Resources Objectives: To maintain and enhance the quality and character of natural water resources; protect or enhance natural flood control and storage; protect and enhance scenic and recreational opportunities; maintain and improve aquatic habitat; protect high water quality; and minimize water pollution. Comment: The watershed management role of Conservation Authorities, generally, has been ignored by the Commission in this section. The headwaters, as contained within the Commission's area of jurisdiction, are of considerable importance to the Authority, particularly as their maintenance relates to the condition of the entire watershed. In preparing the Master Plan, the Niagara Escarpment Commission should recognize THAT THE AUTHORITY HAS, UNDER THE CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES ACT, A BROAD MANDATE FOR WATER AND RELATED LAND MANAGEMENT ON A WATERSHED BASIS AND THAT THIS RESPONSIBILITY MUST BE IDENTIFIED IN THE POLICIES RESPECTING GENERAL WATER RESOURCES IN THE NIAGARA ESCARPMENT AREA. 11. General Recreation Resources Objectives: To establish a framework for providing public access and recreation opportunities compatible with the natural attributes of the Escarpment; plan for the location of uses; minimize environmental impact; and ensure a viable recreation -based economy. Comment: As previously stated, the Authority is currently subject to numerous approvals for proposed recreational use of its land. The proposals of the Commission establish another approval requirement. Prior to the implementation of the Niagara Escarpment Plan, it is necessary THAT THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO CLARIFY ANY APPROVAL REQUIREMENTS RESULTING FROM THE ADOPTION OF THE PLAN AND, SPECIFICALLY, THE APPLICATION OF THESE REQUIREMENTS TO AUTHORITY PROPOSALS FOR THE USE OF CONSERVATION LANDS. 12. Plan Preparation, Implementation & Administration The presentation of the Preliminary Proposals has met with considerable negative response including demands to disband the Niagara Escarpment Commission. The Authority has supported the process of planning which has resulted in these proposals and recognizes that numerous revisions will be made prior to the presentation of a Plan for the Escarpment. The Authority would not, at this time, support any recommendation to disband the Niagara Escarpment Commission and, in this connection, the Executive Committee has adopted the following resolution: Res. #300 (July 12, 1978) "THAT the Authority notify the Premier, the Minister of Natural Resources and the Niagara Escarpment Commission of its support of the Commission's completion of a Plan for its area of jurisdiction; and B -312 NIAGARA ESCARPMENT COMMISSION - PRELIMINARY PROPOSALS Page 6 THAT following approval of the Plan, the Province review alternatives for its implementation and administration." The Niagara Escarpment Commission, in setting forth its preliminary policy proposals, has suggested a very comprehensive system of controlling and restricting alterations within the Planning Area. Many of the policy areas covered by the proposals are, however, presently subject to municipal or provincial approvals under existing mandates. While it is appropriate that the Master Plan for the Escarpment area address all pertinent policy issues, the Authority is aware of a growing concern respecting the duplication and overlapping approval requirements of various agencies, municipal and provincial. The Authority's interest in this matter is both as an approving agency with respect to Ontario Regulation 735/73 and as a proponent of development subject to the approvals of other agencies (e.g. flood control works, conservation area development, etc.). In finalizing the Master Plan for its redefined area of jurisdiction, it is recommended THAT THE NIAGARA ESCARPMENT COMMISSION REVIEW ALL PROPOSED POLICIES TO IDENTIFY WHERE EXISTING MUNICIPAL OR PROVINCIAL MANDATES WILL ACHIEVE THE OBJECTIVES OF THE PLAN. Authority staff have given consideration to alternatives for the implementation and administration of the approved Plan. The Province of Ontario, in establishing the Niagara Escarpment Commission, gave recognition to a provincial interest in the "maintenance of the Niagara Escarpment...as a continuous natural environment ". Returning all responsibility for the implementation and administration of the Plan to the municipal level could result in numerous local interpretations and amend- ments. It should be recommended THAT THE PROVINCIAL INTEREST IN THE NIAGARA ESCARPMENT BE SECURED BY RETAINING, AT THE PROVINCIAL LEVEL, THE OVERALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR IMPLEMENTATION AND ADMINISTRATION OF THE APPROVED PLAN and further THAT THERE BE A PROVINCIAL RIGHT TO DELEGATE CERTAIN POWERS, WHERE APPROPRIATE, AND TO WITHDRAW SUCH DELEGATION IF NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE THE OBJECTIVES OF THE PLAN. RECOMMENDATION: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the staff report "Niagara Escarpment Commission - Preliminary Proposals" be received and the recommendations contained therein be adopted; and THAT the report be forwarded to the Premier of Ontario, the Minister of Natural Resources and the Niagara Escarpment Commission.

SOURCE: PRELIMINARY PROPOSALS; NIAGARA ESCARPMENT COMMISSION; DECEMBER 1977 B -31 3 GOAL The purpose of the Niagara Esca pent Planning and Development Act, as expressed in Section 2, is: "to provide for the maintenance of the Niagara Escarpment and land in its vicinity substantially as a continuous natural environment, and to ensure only such development occurs as is compatible with that natural environment." OBJECTIVES Section 8 of the Act specifies the objectives to be sought by the Commission in preparing a Plan for the Planning Area: (a) to protect unique ecologic and historic areas; (b) to mairtain and enhance the quality and character of natural streams and water supplies; (c) to provide adequate opportunities for outdoor recreation; (d) to maintain and enhance the open landscape character of the Niagara Escarpment insofar as possible, by such means as compatible farming or forestry and by preserving the natural scenery; (e) to ensure that all new development is compatible with the purpose of this Act as expressed in Section 2; (f) to provide for adequate public access to the Niagara Escarpment; (o) to support municipalities within the Niagara Escarpment Planning Area in their exercise of the planning functions conferred upon them by the Planning Act. CONTENT OF THE PLAN Section 9 of the Act lists policies which may be contained in the Plan: (a) policies for the economic, social and physical development of the Niagara Escarpment Planning Area in respect of - (i) the management of and and water resources: (ii) the general distribution and density of population; (iii) the general location of industry and commerce, the identification of major land use areas and open space and the policies in regard to the acquisition of lands; (iv) the control of all forms of pollution of the natural environment; 3 13-314 (v) the general location and development of major servicing, communication and transportation systems; (vi) the development and maintenance of educational, cultural, recreational, health and other social facilities; (vii) such other matters as are, in the opinion of the Minister, advisable; (b) policies relating to the financing and programming of public development projects and capital works; (c) policies to co- ordinate the planning and development programs of the various ministries for the Niagara Escarpment Planning Area; (d) lolicies to co- ordinate planning and devel pment amono municipalities within the Niagara Escarpment Planning Area;° (e) policies designed to ensure compatibility of development by the private sector; (f) such other policies as are, in the opinion of the Minister, advisable for the implementation of the Plan; and shall contain such programs and policies as each minister, provincial secretary or other person having charge of a ministry desires to be incorporated in the Plan, insofar as the Commission considers it practicable. The 1973 Government policy statement provided additional direction on the contents of the proposed Plan and approach to its preparation. The statement makes reference to intergovernmental involvement and public participation, Provincial acquisition philosophy and priorities, the use of development control, pits and quarries, financing and administration.

Sauriol of the Nature Conservancy of Canada concerning the donation of 173± acres of land to the Ontario Heritage Foundation from Mr. James Walker of the Township of Uxbridge. This property will be transferred under agreement and enable the Authority to manage and develop the land as part of the Authority's Glen Major Conservation Area. The purpose of this project is to permit the Authority to enter into an agreement with the Province of Ontario and /or the Ontario Heritage Foundation for the use, management and development of the 173 acres as part of the Glen Major Conservation Area. The lands are linked to the Glen Major Area through the north- west corner of the former Randall property. Located on the Oak Ridges interlobate moraine complex, the area is covered almost in its entirety by natural woodlot and reforested areas. Small kettle depressions provide some internal water storage, although most of the area drains directly into the headwaters of the Duffin Creek. The loose sandy soils are typical of the moraine and water penetrating the soil will contribute to the recharge of the Oak Ridges aquifer. B -355 -4- The wise management of these lands for conservation purposes is important to the continuation of the high quality of the Duffin Creek. In addition, there will be considerable opportunity for woodlot management and enhancement of the reforested areas as wildlife habitat. This area could, in the future, also provide for passive recreational open space. The land is vacant of all buildings and is comprised of three parcels, as follows: 65 acres located in the west half of Lot 4, Con. 6, Uxbridge 5 n II II " east half of Lot 4, Con. 6, Uxbridge 103 " n n " east half of Lot 5, Con. 6, Uxbridge Res. #396 Moved by: J.S.

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, 25,521 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. 1 The 1979 Budget Estimates for administration, operations and maintenance, current and capital programs reflect the emphasis on Flood Control and Water Conservation, provide for the management of lands and facilities acquired and developed in connection with this program, and continue the approved Waterfront project 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 2) Water & Related Land Management 3) Conservation & Recreation Land Management 4) Special Projects and Programs 5) Supplementary Grants (not applicable to M.T.R.C.A.) AUTHORITY PROGRAMS The Authority Programs in these Preliminary Budget Estimates are in seven basic categories:- 1) Administration Administration 2) Operations & Maintenance a) General Operations b) Conservation Area Operations c) Information & Education Operations d) Black Creek Pioneer Village Operations 3) Water & Related Land Management a) Operation & Maintenance of Water Control Structures b) Community Relations - Support c) Community Relations - Development d) Taxes, Insurance etc... 7) Historic Sites Development e) Interim Water & Related Land Man. - Current & Capital 4) Conservation & Recreation Land Management a) Conservation Areas - Support b) Conservation Areas - Development c) Conservation Area Information & Interpretive Program d) Rent & Utility Services e) Taxes, Insurance etc... 5) Waterfront Waterfront - Support 6) Special Projects Waterfront Plan Historic Sites Development 2 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 projects. 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 were $2,876,482 and estimated expenditures in 1978 (excluding the acquisition of the Guild Inn) are $2,914,000. Metropolitan Toronto has agreed to increase their share of the levy for this project by $496,000 each year for 1979, 1980 and 1981, which allows for total expenditures of approximately $3,600,000 each year for the balance of this second phase of the Waterfront Project. INTERIM WATER & RELATED LAND MANAGEMENT PROJECT 3. The year 1979 is the first year of the three year Interim Water & Related Land Management Project. This project will enable the Authority to establish and undertake a program designed to conserve, restore, develop and manage the natural resources of the watersheds within the area of its jurisdiction, in accordance with the Water and Related Land Management Plan. It is the intention that this Project, together with ongoing works which were initiated under earlier approved projects, shall form a single, consolidated Project. The Project provides for total expenditures of $3,800,000 in each of the three years 1979, 1980 and 1981. THE 1979 LEVY The preliminary apportionment of the 1979 Municipal Levies is based on the latest equalized assessment figures available to the Authority (1976 assessment data for 1977 taxation purposes) as supplied by the Province of Ontario. These preliminary apportionments are subject to revision when current figures are available from the Province. In accordance with the policy adopted by the Authority, the Regional Municipalities of Durham, Peel and York will be levied an amount equal to 1007, of the 1978 taxes paid by the Authority for revenue producing conservation areas within those municipalities. Within Metropolitan Toronto, Authority lands are not subject to taxation. (For preliminary budget purposes the 1978 taxes have been estimated, based on 1977 taxes, plus 87). PROVINCIAL FUNDING The Provincial Grant structure used in these estimates is:- Administration 50% Water & Related Land Management 55% Conservation & Recreation Land Management 50% Waterfront Plan 50% The estimates provide for the following increases in Provincial Grant: - Administration: 67 over the 1978 grant. Water & Related-Land Management: An increase of $164,450 to cover programs in the Interim Water & Related Land Management Plan which were previously based on a 50% grant and are now 55 %G. An increase of $18,700 to provide for increased program activity. Waterfront Plan: An increase to $1,800,000 for increased development for which Metro - Toronto has agreed to provide capital levy.

The revised format shows the preliminary estimates for 1979. The stated objectives of the Multi -Year Forecast are: - (1) To encourage Authorities to plan their activities for the period and to establish priorities; (2) To provide the Province with Authority plans for the period, expressed in dollars with identification of projects having highest priority; (3) To provide an equitable basis for the allocation of Provincial funds; In completing the Multi -Year Forecast, Authorities are requested to ensure that: - (1) Provision has been made for all currently planned projects within the planning period; (2) Cost estimates are realistic and projects are economically feasible; (3) Priority and timing of projects is realistic considering the need for prior technical and funding approvals, land acquisition, engineering etc... (4) Funds for the Authority share of expenditures can be raised without undue difficulty; AUTHORITY PURPOSE, ACHIEVEMENTS 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 develop- ment, and fish and wildlife management. In implementing these programs, 25,521 acres of land have been acquired and, in addition to their being managed for the conservation functions they perform, they are made available to the community for outdoor and conservation education, recreation and historic site purposes.

No Provincial Grant is available for this program. - Throughout the Forecast, increases in revenues and expenditures at Albion Hills, Bruce's Mill, Claremont, Cold Creek, Heart Lake and Petticoat Creek reflect increased recreation programs. - Expenditures and revenue increases at Palgrave include the operation of the Area for cross country skiing. - Expenditure and revenue increases at Claireville result from the expansion of the campground. FINANCIAL COMMENTS: An increased recreation program is reflected in expenditures and revenues. These programs are self supporting with some net revenue resulting. Therefore, any decrease in revenue would result in a similar decrease in expenditures. Because costs of labour and materials will continue to rise during the Forecast period, a general fee increase will be required to retain the General Levy increases at an acceptable level. It is anticipated that this will occur in 1979 and 1980. PROGRAM: MULTI -YEAR FORECAST 1980 -1983 Operations & Maintenance - Conservation Area Operations PAGE: 15.

SUBJECT: An Extension to Project W.C. -58, "A Project for Erosion Control and Channel Improvements on the West Branch of the Don River between Bathurst Street and Finch Avenue" to cover extra costs incurred in carrying out the Project. 2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION: (i) Purpose: Due to a claim made by the contractor carrying out the construction of the channel improvements, litigation was initiated by him in 1973 in order to recover costs which he claimed to have incurred as a result of extra work required in the construction of the channel. It is the intent of this Extension to identify the extra funding required as a result of the finalization of the litigation. (ii) Basic Data Pertaining to the Matter: Project W.C. -58 was approved by the Authority in May 1970 and by the benefiting municipality; The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto in June 1969; and the Province of Ontario under M/A 280/70 dated October 13, 1970. The work undertaken in this Project extended along 1,600 feet of the West Don River, west and north of Bathurst Street in the Borough of North York. In order to obtain the desired channel cross section and alignment, the natural channel was realigned and the new channel was protected with gabion baskets. In addition, a drop structure was constructed at the upper end of the channel to control velocities. The abandoned sections of the natural river valley were filled and restored. The work afforded the river a more suitable approach to the Bathurst Street opening, protected established utilities, including the West Don Sanitary Trunk Sewer and eliminated severe erosion in this area. In October 1971, the Authority entered into a contract with Dineen Construction Limited to carry out the works as described for the agreed sum of $488,707.00. In addition the original Project allowed for engineering and contingencies totalling $94,000.00 which formed part of the approved $500,000.00 project cost. Subsequent extra work orders approved by the Authority resulted in the final contract price being $496,298.69. B -378 (iii) Requirements for the Project Extension When the construction was nearing completion, the contractor made a claim to the Authority for $89,360.03 for certain additional work which Dineen allegedly carried out during the construction of the channel improvement. The Authority's consulting engineer in this instance, W. 0. Chisholm, disputed the bill and Dineen issued a Writ in the Supreme Court of Ontario in April 1973. The Authority issued a counterclaim in the amount of $22,300.00, plus costs, in August 1973. The Authority was unable to bring the matter to trial, however, negotiations continued and the matter was settled for $20,000.00 plus claimant's legal costs. The Authority's counterclaim was dropped. The extension of funding is required for this Project in order to pay for the settlement as well as outstanding claims for extra work which are now appropriately payable to the contractor. Due to the additional funding required as a result of the extra work and litigation exceeding the approved limit of $500,000.00, Ontario Municipal Board approval is also required. In discussions with the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, the Commissioner of Finance has advised that the additional amount can be accommodated within the total 1978 Ontario Municipal Board Debenture quota. 3. COST /FINANCING: To carry out this extension, additional funding in the amount of $99,690.00 is required. This is in addition to the $500,000.00 approved by the Province of Ontario in October 1970, As in the original Project W.C. -58, Metropolitan Toronto is named as the benefiting municipality with matching funds from the Province of Ontario as shown below: Metropolitan Toronto $49,845.00 Province of Ontario $49,845.00 Total 5199,690.00 4. OTHER GENERAL REMARKS: As this is an Extension to Project W.C. -58, an approved Project of the Authority, the detailed description of the works remains the same as in the Authority's Brief dated May of 1970. the metropolitan toronto and region conservation authority minutes B -379 REPORT #17/78 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WEDNESDAY - OCTOBER -25 -1978 #17/78 The Executive Committee met in the Board Room, Authority Office, 5 Shoreham Drive, Downsview, on Wednesday, October 25, 1978, commencing at 10:00 a.m. PRESENT FOR THE HEARING Chairman R.

CARRIED; 11. MANDATE AND ROLE OF THE CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES A staff report was presented having regard to the report "Mandate and Role of The Conservation Authorities ", as prepared by a working group representative of the Province of Ontario and the conservation authorities. The report is considered necessary by The Chairmen's Committee of the Ontario Conservation Authorities to identify the role of conservation authorities for the government and ministries of the Province of Ontario, municipalities and the authorities themselves. The Director of the Conservation Authorities Branch has requested comments from the authorities. Res. #441 Moved by: M.J. Breen Seconded by: J.A. Bryson RESOLVED THAT: The Director of the Conservation Authorities Branch, Ministry of Natural Resources, be advised that The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has reviewed the report, "Mandate and Role of the Conservation Authorities ", and wishes to comment as follows: (a) The report, in setting out the rationale for the report, the historical background, the legislation, and the work of authorities, is complete. Minor additions and corrections suggested at the meeting of Central Region Authority Chairmen and senior staff should be included in the next draft. (b) The last section, commencing on page 14 entitled "Organization Frame- work", presents a fairly complete description of the Ministry of Natural Resources and its relationship to conservation authorities. It does not, however, provide any information on the relationship of municipalities to conservation authorities. This section would be more appropriate if it fully discussed the partnership arrangement that the authority represents, giving both the Provincial and municipal roles. This section should make reference to the legis- lation dealing with the appointment of municipal and Provincial members. (c) The section dealing with the role of conservation authorities, begin- ning on page 9, should be amended, taking into consideration the following. Section 20 of The Conservation Authorities Act provides that for the purposes of accomplishing its objects, an authority has a number of specific powers and these powers are detailed. A review of these powers reveals that there are two things which are unique to conservation authorities and are not found in the legislation of any other resource management agency or in the legislation pertaining to the powers and responsibilities of municipalities. These are as follows: 1) To study and investigate the watershed and to determine a program whereby the natural resources of the watershed may be conserved, restored, developed and managed. 2) To control the flow of surface waters in order to prevent floods or pollution or to reduce the adverse effects thereof. -7- B -385 All of the other powers given authorities have to do with the acquisition by lease, purchase or expropriation of lands, the entering into agreements to carry out its work, and the use of authority lands for recreation purposes. The description of the authorities' primary responsibility should reflect these two powers which are unique to conservation authorities and are not found within the mandate of any other organization. The wording of the description should be as follows: The primary responsibilities of conservation authorities are: i) To study and investigate the watershed and to determine a program whereby the natural resources of the watershed may be conserved, restored, developed and managed. ii) To prepare a watershed plan and encourage the participation of municipalities and the Province of Ontario in the preparation of the watershed plan to give expression to the program determined by the authority whereby the natural resources of the watershed may be conserved, restored, developed and managed. iii) To undertake a program of water and related land management to control the flow of surface waters in order to prevent floods or pollution or to reduce the adverse effects thereof. (d) Page 12 of the report deals with the many uses that authorities make of their lands in achieving water and related land management objectives. This section should be expanded to point out that the authorities, in managing their lands, are capable of achieving both municipal and Provincial objectives and that in many instances, this is achieved by placing authority lands under agreement with either the Province or municipalities for management. CARRIED; 12. THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO VALLEY LAND STUDY A staff report was presented advising that The Metropolitan Toronto Valley Land Study has been received from the Metropolitan Planning Department for comments and endorsement. The Executive Committee considered the Valley Land Study and the staff report. Res. #442 Moved by: E.H. Card Seconded by: M.J. Breen RESOLVED THAT: The Commissioner of Planning for Metropolitan Toronto be advised that the Executive Committee of the Authority has.iconsidered the report, "The Metropolitan Toronto Valley Land Study ", and makes the following recommendations: RECOMMENDATIONS: (a) THAT the wording of the draft "Plan for the Urban Structure: Metropolitan Toronto" be substituted for Study Recommendation #1, as follows: It is the intent of Council to maintain the major river valleys primarily) in a natural state except for compatible recreational uses and essential public works. Therefore Council opposes all other development below the crest of the slope in major river valleys which: . would be susceptible to flooding or require fill to raise the site above the flood line; or . would be susceptible to property damage due to unstable soil conditions, or contribute to increased erosion on valley slopes; or B -386 -8- represent an intrusion of urban development into the natural setting of the valley which should be acquired, maintained and /or developed as a public resource. (b) THAT the Authority concur with Study Recommendation #2. (c) THAT Metropolitan Toronto be provided with updated mapping at such time as this is available. (d) THAT Study Recommendation #4 be reworded as follows: Along the major river valleys, a Valley Land Impact Zone is hereby established. This zone extends over the entire width of the major river valley, includ- ing the watercourse and side slopes, and to a point beyond the crest of the slope. In considering any proposals, Council - in consultation with the M.T.R.C.A. and the area municipalities - shall de- fine the "crest of the slope" and identify the limits of the Valley Land Impact Zone. Within the Valley Land Impact Zone, Council shall control and limit development, as much as is reason- able within an urban context, so as: . to maintain the natural processes and features; . to maintain suitable water table levels, surface and underground drainage patterns; . to protect slopes from erosion; . to preserve natural wildlife habitats and vegetation; . to minimize disruption of the natural scenic resources; and . to prevent damage to existing and future structures from slope erosion or slumping. (e) THAT the Authority concur with Study Recommendation # #5. (f) (g) THAT until Authority studies are complete, the intent of the draft "Plan for the Urban Structure: Metropolitan Toronto" with respect to setbacks, be used as follows: "For the purpose of establishing setbacks for develop- ment, the crest of the valley slope shall be used in those instances where lot lines extend below the crest of a valley slope." THAT the Authority concur with Study Recommendation #7. (h) THAT Metropolitan Toronto and the area municipalities identify their land acquisition priorities and that these priorities, as they relate to Metropolitan valley lands, be discussed by the Technical Advisory Committee on Parks and Conservation. THAT the Authority concur with the principle of establish- ing a contingency fund for flood plain and valley land acquisition. Rather than have the fund operate as recommended by Metropolitan Planning staff, the fund should have both Provincial and Municipal participation at the time of acquisition. The fund would apply to the acquisition of lands within the Authority's Master Plan for the Acquisition of Flood Plain and Conservation Lands, or its successors; and would provide for acquisitions which may become necessary at a time when normal funding is not available. (i) (j) -9- B -387 THAT the Technical Advisory Committee on Parks and Conservation is the proper forum for discussions respecting development issues and applications in the Valley Land Impact Zone where they relate to the Metropolitan Toronto Open Space system, and that all other matters are within the responsibilities of the Metropolitan Planning Department under the provisions of The Planning Act. THAT The Metropolitan Torontr and Region Conservation Authority request the Metropolitan Planning Board to incorporate amendments to The Metropolitan Valley Land Study as set forth herein, prior to the Study being considered by Metropolitan Council.

Operations & Maintenance - Black Creek Pioneer Village Total Budget Variance Budget Used Forecast to Appropriation Dec. 31/78 Expenditures $648,797 $854,000 $205,202 76 $854,000 Revenue $660,350 $782,000 $121,650 84 $782,000 B. historical Sites Development Total Budget Variance Budget Used Forecast to Appropriation Dec. 31/78 Expenditures $ 44,790 $ 84,000 $ 39,210 53 $ 84,000 3) FINANCIAL COMMENTS A. Operations & Maintenance - Black Creek Pioneer Village Operations, revenue and expenditures are close to budget estimates. Attendance is down over 6,000 from last year and part of this is due to much fewer U.S. visitors. Another reason is that the weather was unusually warm during July and August and we have found that our attendance is usually down when such conditions exist. The increase in admission fees has helped the revenue picture. There are presently 475 members in the Village Citizenship program. Classes began attending the Dickson's Hill School Program on September llth and the school is fully booked for the rest of the 1978 season. The Experience '78 Programs which ended in August, provided the village with additional summer staff for interpretation, gift shop, office and maintenance. Two researchers on this program have collected information on tinsmithing and coopering for our research files. Also the program provided the Registrar's Department with a cataloguing team. Th" volunteer labour of the Mimico Reformatory group have pr vided assistance in maintenance throughout the summer. They wqre involved in the construction of the Richmond Hill Manse foundation. Also, these men have helped in the production of toys for sale. B. Historical Sites Development Expenditures are in line with budget estimates. Approval is expected soon from Wintario so that work can be commenced on the Cooperage Shop, Sawyer's Ilonie and the Richmond Hill Manse. B-402 Conservation Land Management Division Progress Report January - September, 1978 Conservation Services Reforestation Boy Scout groups from York region, Mississauga and Brampton planted forty thousand reforestation trees at Glen Haffy Conservation Area, Nashville Reservoir, Claire - ville Conservation Area and Lake St. George. Reforestation trees were also planted at Gibson Lake (2000), Heart Lake Conservation Area (2000), Boyd Conser- vation Area (2000) and Glen Haffy Conservation Area (15000). Under Reforestation Assistance Program approx. 60,000 trees were planted on private lands. Farm Tree and Shrub Approximately. 7000 farm trees and 6900 shrubs were planted for private landowners. The Flood Control Section have received 3000 shrubs and 240 farm trees from the Authority nursery. Wildlife shrubs were planted at Lake St. George - 1500. This fall 1200 shrubs will be planted at Greenwood Conservation Area, as well as 500 shrubs at the Heart Lake Conservation Area. Farm trees will be planted at Glen Haffy Conservation Area (100) and Gibson Lake (100). An additional 3000 shrubs and 260 farm trees will be supplied to the Flood Control Section. Conservation Assistance Fifteen site visits have been carried out for private reforestation, twenty -three site visits for farm tree and shrub assistance, twelve site visits for erosion control, and seven for private tree spade rental. Two Conservation Plans have been completed and three applications are on file. The Wbodlot Management Plan has been completed for the major use areas of the Authority. A plantation management report is being prepared. Erosion Control Nine erosion control projects have been carried out this summer and two projects are scheduled for the fall. Five projects remain on file for future years. Tree Spade Six private tree spade rentals have been carried out and four requests remain on file for this fall. Tree spade work will be carried out at Albion Hills, Cold Creek, Heart Lake and Lake St. George. The tree spade has been involved in pre- paring trees for landscape projects at Bluffers Park, Humber Bay East and has prepared trees for projects at the Boyd Conservation Area, Oak Ridges and Claire- ville Conservation Area. Landscaping Major landscape projects have been completed at the Humber Bay East and Bluffers Park waterfront projects. During the summer, tree maintenance has been carried out at these sites. Landscaping at the Kortright Centre entrance has been ccatr pleted. Plans have been prepared for landscaping for the South Thackeray Land- fill Site. A tree maintenance program has been carried out at the Indian Line Campground. Landscape projects are planned for the Boyd, Heart Lake and Claire- ville Conservation Areas, Oak Ridges and the Glen Major gravel pit site. Some plant material was supplied fran the Authority nursery and all planting for the C.N.E. exhibit was carried out by the Conservation Services staff. Conservation Areas During the winter eight Conservation Areas were open for recreational activities. The visitor services program at Albion Hills, Greenwood and Bruce's Mill Conser- vation Areas continued to increase in popularity. The Claremont Conservation Area, open for the first time during the winter for cross country skiing, provided a well used facility in the east end. Much of the staff time during the winter was involved in winter operations and the woodlot program. The Petticoat Creek staff constructed additional picnic tables in preparation for the summer season. The Bruce's Mill maple syrup program shaved a renewed interest with the addition of a horse drawn wagon ride and maple taffy being provided for the visitors. Additional equipment was obtained to improve the operation. The design and lay- out for additional camp sites at the Indian Line campground was completed. All conservation areas, with the exception of Milne, were open for summer recreation activities. The Milne Area was closed for the 1978 season due to the construction of the York - Durham sanitary sewer. During the summer discussions were held with the Town of Markham re transferring of the operation of the Milne Area to the Town of Markham. This matter is presently being considered by Markham Council. B -403 In preparation for the camping program at Albion Hills, the supervisor's accommodation and entrance gates to the campgrounds were relocated to provide better control and security. Relocation of the perimeter chain link fencing along Pine Valley Drive at the Boyd Area has been completed. At Bruce's Mill the construction of the superintendent's garage and extensions to the Area's water and hydro systems are completed. Brickwork at the Claireville Area entrance gates has been completed. Construction on the extension to the Indian Line campground is underway. A second electric trap has been purchased and construction of the additional trap house and stone work at the entrance gates have been completed. New aerating pumps have been installed in the Glen Haffy fish rearing ponds. Quotations have been received for this year's supply of fingerling trout. The new entrance gates and sign for the Greenwood Area have been installed. Construction has been completed on the chain link fencing along the western boundary of the Heart Lake Area. Construction of the winter parking lot in the Palgrave Area has been completed. Additional barbecues have been delivered for the Boyd, Glen Haffy and Petticoat Creek Areas. During the summer, 55 Experience 78 students were employed in conservation areas and assisted with routine operations and development projects. Again this year the program was an essential part of the Areas' staff and contributed greatly to the success of the summer's operation. Throughout the stammer O.C.A.P. trainees and Experience 78 students inventoried wildlife habitat, species and erosion areas in the Albion Hills, Bruce's Mill, Cold Creek, Lake St. George and Palgrave Areas. The information gathered will form important background studies for the Master Plan preparation for Conser- vation Areas. Students hired under the Young Canada Works Program have completed relocation, upgrading and signing cross - country ski trails at Albion Hills, Bruce's Mill, Claremont and Palgrave Areas. At Cold Creek the ski and Husky dog trails have been separated. This work will significantly improve these Areas for the 1979 winter season. Investigation was also completed on a summer recreation skills program. Water based activities for the Authority's reservoirs and lakes have been considered. O.C.A.P. trainees have assisted in the preparation of brochures promoting Conser- vation Area recreation activities. During the summer brochures on winter activities, a self - guiding tour of the Bruce's Mill maple syrup demonstration, Albion Hills Area have been prepared. The following table compares individual Area attendance figures to October 1st with the same period in the previous year. Attendance has increased 107,671 or 8.8% over the same period in 1977. 1978 1977 Albion Hills 182,721 179,603 Black Creek 223,076 223,170 Boyd 183,150 174,251 Bruce's Mill 195,883 150,626 Claireville 92,880 80,809 Claremont 30,191 24,481 Cold Creek 37,118 43,641 Glen Haffy 51,574 52,570 Greenwood 58,614 56,104 Heart Lake 129,365 117,808 Humber Trails 3,740 2,256 Petticoat Creek 92,129 63,292 Woodbridge 14,728 19,401 Indian Line Camp 42,866 42,342 1,338,025 1,230,354 B -404 3 Financial Statement, January 1 - September 30, 1978 Yr. to Date Total % Budget Forecast to Expend.

Over- spending in the farm tree and shrub program and the stream improvement project will be offset by expenditure reduction in the Conservation Assistance program. All available funds will be spent. Revenue figures for Conservation Services indicate 83% of the funds received and streambank erosion indicates 115% of the funds received. Revenue estimates will be met. Conservation Areas During this period approximately 75% of the development items have been commenced or completed. The remaining items will be undertaken in the early fall and by year end all funds will be spent. Area operational expenditures are forecast to exceed the budget allocation by $20,000. This over - expenditure is to cover the purchase of additional ski equipment for Albion Hills and Bruce's Mill and will be covered by the excess conservation area revenues. Overall conservation area revenues will be well in excess of budget estimates. An excellent winter season with increased interest in the ski program at Albion Hills and Bruce's Mill, the opening of Claremont for skiing, a renewed interest in the Bruce's Mill maple syrup program and a revision of the fee structure at Cold Creek resulted in a substantial increase in the revenue during the winter season. Ideal summer weather has resulted in a further increase in revenues. TO: The Chairman and Members of the Executive Committee, M.T.R.C.A.

During the period July through September there have been sixteen groups representing a total of 489 students participate in the resources interpretive programs such as a nature hike or the bee space program. Approximately 80% of the furniture and equipment has been purchased and installed. The Kortright Sawmill building was completed in April and the Mill installed in June. A diesel engine, provided by the Foundation, was delivered in July. A great deal of progress has been made in research and design of the exhibits with twelve exhibits planned for the opening. The first one to be completed will be the Forestry exhibit. A schedule for exhibit Information & Education Division Progress Report - Page -3- B-407 approval has been established with the Fish and Wildlife and Water Exhibit, plans to be complete by the end of 1979. Ducks Unlimited (Canada) has approved the waterfowl pond and construction is complete. Like St. George: The Metropolitan Toronto School Board, the Metropolitan Separate School Board, and the York County Board of Education have approved the funding of Phase I for the Lake St. George Conservation Field Centre. The Ontario March of Dimes has confirmed its intention to participate in Lake St. George, provided Wintario funds the facilities required for the handicapped. In this regard, a submission was made to Wintario in July requesting funding for the amount of $109,700. the cost of the facility re- design to accommodate the physically disabled. It is the intention to begin construction as soon as possible with the first dormitory facility available for occupancy by the Fall of 1979. Educational Programs - Black Creek Pioneer Village: The Conservation Education Program at Black Creek Pioneer Village continues to be popular with the tours and Pioneer Life Program operating at capacity to the end of June. An analysis of the origin of these visitors indicates that the tours are attracting students from greater distances each year. 35,169 attended to the end of June, 1978 compared to 33,635 for a similar period in 1977. Summer Programs: (a) Field Centres: Another successful 16 -day archaeological program was held at the Boyd Conservation Field Centre during July and August. Forty students participated. The program was undertaken on the Boyd site which is south from the former dig site. York University summer program Geography 255 on environmental education was held at the Albion Hills Consevation Field Centre. Some twenty persons were involved in this highly successful course. For the fourth consecutive year, the March of Dimes held summer camps for the physically disabled at Claremont Conservation Field Centre. There were fifty campers and sixteen counsellors involved. Last year, a local pool supplies firm donated a pool for the August camp. The Kinsmen Club of Ajax this year purchased a swimming pool and volunteered to permanently locate it on a site at Claremont. Other local companies once again donated a tractor and video tape equipment for the camp. (b) Black Creek Pioneer Village: North York Board of Education again offered three 3 -day summer programs to junior elementary students whose use of spoken and written English needs to be improved. There were several day workshops for qualified teachers enrolled in Board Summer Courses. Seconded Teachers: The teaching staff for the Boyd Conservation Field Centre for 1978 -1.979 was selected in April by the Joint Planning Committee. The Authority has arranged with the North York Board of Education for a 1 -year leave of absence from the Board for Ronald Hudson to act as Supervisor of Albion Hills Field Centre. Ronald Hudson was one of the two 1977 -1978 seconded teachers at Boyd Conservation Field Centre. Glassco Park: A long -range preliminary site and building plan for Glassco Park was completed and delivered to the Authority by Raymond Moriyama.

FINANCIAL COMMENTS: (a) Operations & Maintenance - Community Relations Information and Education operations revenue and expenditures are very close to the budget estimates in all areas except at the Kortright Centre for Conservation. The deficit is due to lower revenue than anticipated and higher operating expenses. The lower revenue will be a result of the Centre not opening as scheduled in September due to a delay in Wintario grant approval. The higher than anticipated costs are a result of high food service costs, certain exhibit development costs being charged to operations as a result of the delay in the approval of Wintario grant and difficulty in determining precise cost estimates prior to occupancy of the Centre. All costs are being carefully monitored and kept to the minimum and a more realistic and precise budget estimates have been developed for 1979. 1, B -409 Information & Education Division Progress Report - Page -5- TEB /K (b) Water and Related LandfManagement - Community Relations Program (W10) Expenditures for non - project elements are somewhat over budget estimates as a result of nearly $10,000. expenditure on the Canadian National Exhibition exhibit. The expenditures for development of the Boyd Education Complex are on target. Expenditures on the exhibit development program at the Kortright Centre for Conservation have now essentially been curtailed three months pending Wintario approval. This delay will require that the official opening of the Centre be re- scheduled to the Spring of 1979. Included in the expenditures to date are the completion of the building contract. (c) Conservation Area Information and Interpretive Program (C3) Expenditures are in line with budget estimates. T. E.

MEETING #17/78 RE: WATER RESOURCE DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT FROM JULY 1, 1978 to SEPTEMBER 30, 1978 Page 7 WATERFRONT SECTION A number of major projects are nearing completion and the time to undertake some major new initiatives is approaching rapidly. However, tl level of Provincial funding for the Waterfront Project in 1979 is still uncertain pending Provincial approval of the Supplementary Waterfront Project. COLONEL SAMUEL BOIS SMITH - The Colonel Samuel Bois Smith Master Plan has been submitted formally to the Ministry of Environment under the terms of the Environmental Assessment Act. Subsequently, the Ministry of Environment has circu- lated the Plan to a number of other Ministries and agencies for comment It is still not known whether or notan Environmental Assessment Board hearing will be required on this matter. - It is still anticipated that all necessary approvals for the Master Plan can be obtained by early 1979 so that the necessary preparation can be made to transfer the landfilling operation from Humber Bay West Phase II to the Colonel Samuel Bois Smith Waterfront Area in the spring of 1979. HUMBER BAY WEST, PHASE II - The site has grown by an additional 6 acres over July, August and September as a result of continuing landfilling operations. The total area of the site is now twenty -eight acres and it is expected that all necessary landfilling will be completed by January 1979. -The site was used successfully by the Humber Boating Federation for mooring of approximately 130 boats and by the Humber College Sailing School for 7 boats over the summer season. Many boats have already been removed with the remainder scheduled to be removed by the end of October at the latest. Plans are already underway by the Federation to increase the number of boats at the site substantially in 1979, and it is possible that construction of some permanent docks will proceed next year in accordance with the Master Plan. - Numerous discussions have been held with representatives of the Boating Federation to consider the detailed design of the interior shoreline and final grading, etc. HUMBER BAY EAST - The site services contract is virtually complete with all testing of watermains, sewers and electrical equipment providing satisfactory results. Only minor deficiencies remain to be completed. - The drawings and specifications for the structural contract which includes the park buildings, foot bridges, etc. are virtually completed However, due to financial constraints, tenders will not be called this year. - The Conservation Land Managment Division is proceeding on schedule with their planting and maintenance of trees and shrubs on the site. - All remaining areas to be seeded in the 1978 programme have been completed. B -423 TO: THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE M.T.R.C.A. Meeting #17/78 RE: Water Resource Division Progress Report From July 1, 1978 to September 30, 1978 loge E WESTERN BEACHES - The detailed Master Plan and proposed programme of development are nearing completion. However, discussion with City of Toronto officials is ongoing with respect to the proposed development between the Boulevard Club and the Toronto Sailing and Canoe Club, as '.ell as conditions of the transfer of lands to the Authority. BLUFFERS, PHASE II - During July, August and September, 2.3 acres of land were created bringing the total to approximately 33 acres. - Landfilling over the period of July to September concentrated on completing the breakwater forming the eastern side of the entrance and also has resulted in the construction of a significant portion of the western side of the entrance. It is anticipated that one more summer season of filling will complete the outer breakwater shape. - Public Works Canada is proceeding with armouring under the Small Craft Harbour Assistance Programme, and it is anticipated that final armouring of the east side of the entrance will be completed by the end of November. Upon completion of the current contract, the original allocation of Federal funding will be expended and a reques• has already been made to the Federal Government to extend Federal assistance to completion of the project. - The Bluffers Boating Federation utilized some of the protected water area over the summer season to moor approximately 30 boats. It is anticipated that this number will be substantially increased in 1979. - A detailed design of the boat launching area and adjacent parking lot and day mooring area is underway in preparation for the construction of these facilities in 1979. - Use of the harbour by Canadian Dredge and Dock Company Limited for the construction of the Highland Creek Sewage Treatment Plant Outfall is nearing completion. EAST POINT - The site plan preparation under the direction of Hough Stansbury and Associates is proceeding steadily and should be substantially complete by the end of the year. - Since East Point Park is expected to be the next major development site in Scarborough, it is important that the plans proceed so that work can begin following completion of Bluffers Phase II. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING - The 1978 monitoring program was initiated in May. - Routine water quality sampling has been undertaken at 47 stations across the waterfront. - Special environmental studies on river and storm sewer loadings, bacteria associated with bathing beaches, and nutrient - bacteria loadings arising from waterfowl have been undertaken. - Continuous water temperature recording units have been set up in the waterfront embayments to provide an indication of thermally induced water movements. B -424 TO: THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE M.T.R.C.A. Meeting #17/78 RE: Water Resource Division Progress Report Page 9 From July 1, 1978 to September 30, 1978 -The environmental survey of the flora and fauna of Aquatic Park is proceeding on schedule and will be complete by November. - Examination of the data obtained to date is underway so that trends can be identified for incorporation into the monitoring report that will be prepared in 1979. SHORELINE MANAGEMENT - Reduced cash flow combined with the technical difficulties in dealing with the high priority sites in Scarborough have resulted in delays in carrying out shoreline protective works. However, a conceptual plan has been prepared which shows landfilling along the toe of the Bluffs may be a successful means of stabilizing the shoreline against wave action and a detailed Master Plan for this proposal is being prepared. - Detailed design work is virtually complete and contract drawings are being prepared for protective works along the Eastern Beaches in the City of Toronto. Since funds are no longer available for this construction in 1978, it is anticipated that the contract will be tendered early in 1979, subject to the availability of Provincial cash flow.

One of the major benefits will be consistency among the operating Divisions. It was agreed that the general policy for hiring labourers will be as follows:- 1) A new person will be hired at the bottom level of the scale unless he has specific experience which warrants variation. 2) After a three month to six month period, the person will be elevated to the middle of the scale provided that the person is performing entirely in a satis- factory manner. If not, the employee should be released at this point. 3) After a six month to twelve month period, the person will be elevated to the top of the range provided the employee has demonstrated complete competance in the tasks expected. For those hourly rated positions above labourer, where specific training is more time consuming and indefinite; the discretion of the supervisor is to be used in elevating the employee. It is important, however, for the employee to demonstrate competence during the initial probationary period of six months at which time the key decision regarding continued employment is made by the supervisor. For seasonal staff, those people hired for a particular period of the year to perform a specified function, the policy will be that the person is paid at the bottom level of the appropriate category for the term of employment. The recommended table for 1979 rates reflect a straight 6% increase. RECOMMENDATION IT IS THEREFORE RECOMMENDED THAT the 1979 Hourly Wage Rates - Full Time and Seasonal Staff - be adopted as follows:- 1979 HOURLY WAGE RATES - FULL TIME F, SEASONAL STAFF Cons.

W. Burke P. B. Flood Supt. of Operations, Cons. Land Mgt. J. D. Agnew Administrator, Historic Sites Div. R. K. Cooper THE FOLLOWING ITEMS WERE CONSIDERED: The Committee considered and evaluated twenty suggestions received to date. These suggestions, and the Committee's consideration of same, are attached as Appendix I. IT WAS AGREED, AND THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS: (1) THAT Suggestion #1/78, submitted by Mr. S. Bontje, for the development of a "T" shirt as part of the Authority employee uniform be given the maximum award of $200.00; (2) That four of the seventeen suggestions submittdd by Ms. D. Fortsch, be considered worthy of recognition. Although no single suggestion would be worthy of an award, the suggestions submitted expressed a concern for improved services to the visitors to Black Creek Pioneer Village; and that an award of $30.00 be approved; L. Hancey 1978.12.19./K Chairman P. B. Flood Acting Secty. APPENDIX I B -510 RE: Report #1/78 - Employee Suggestion Award Committee (1) S. Bontje -- "T" Shirt - Employee Uniform. This suggestion concerns the development of a special "T" shirt with a crest advertising the Authority and which would be available to all Summer employees. The purpose of the program would be to reduce Authority costs since the Summer employees are required to wear a dress uniform shirt. The cost for these shirts is presently $7.40 each. The "T" shirt could be produced for a total of $3.00 each. The "T" shirt would not only be more acceptable to the student but would also act as an advertising feature for the Authority. The Committee considers that the saving in money, the advertising potential, and the services provided to the visiting public would be of an advantage to the Authority. The program was adopted this Summer and was well accepted by all students and amounted to a considerable saving to the Authority. It is estimated that the saving this year was in the neighbourhood of $2,800.00, and this is anticipated to continue each year. Therefore, the Committee considered that this would be worthy of the maximum award. (2) M. Carter -- Authority Calendar. This suggestion considered the development of a wall - hanging calendar which would advertise pictorially the activities in a Conservation Area and also state the dates and the scheduling of specific activities. It would be of value as an advertising agent and provide a service to the public. The Committee considered this type of development to be a costly program and that the present Authority calendar is adequate for advertising the special events within the Conservation Area. No award will be given. (3) D. Fortsch (a) Toilet Tissue Dispensers: The suggestion was for adding additional toilet tissue fixtures in each of the cubicles for providing an additional service to the public. The Committee identified that this program is done in all locations where it is deemed necessary because of the heavy traffic. Therefore, no award will be given. (b) Babies Changing Table: The suggestion was for a changing table for babies to be constructed in the ladies washrooms in Conservation Areas to assist mothers in the changing of their diapered babies. The Committee determined that this service to the public would cost approximately $30.00 per unit and could be installed in both men's and ladies washrooms where required. Although providing an additional facility and service, it would not attract additional users to the Area. However, some consideration should be given for an award. (c) Entrance Sign - Black Creek Pioneer Village: The suggestion was that the entrance sign be up -dated to identify the times of operation. It was determined that this was an annual program by the Village staff and is done automatically. No award will be given. B -511 - 2 (d) Neck Scarves - B.C.P.V. Staff: It was suggested that the costume for Black Creek Pioneer Village attendants be extended to include hand - knitted scarves -- possibly made from scraps of wool. The priorities for staff uniform were'identified by R. K. Cooper and he indicated that toques and mitts were given the highest priority and that scarves would be developed as time went on. This was not a new suggestion but a program already under way. No award will be given. (e) Lettering on Post Card Folders: The suggestion was that the wording on the cards be up -dated to indicate that there is one Gift Shop, one General Store, and six places where numerous goods are stored, not available for sale. It was determined that the lettering on these cards identifies a number of shops and stores in the Village community to provide information to the public on the types of village that was developed in pre- Confederation times -- not to adver- tise where salesable products are located. No award will be given. (f) Book Display: It was suggested that books be removed from the - storeroom and displayed in specific areas such as the Burwick House. This would add decor to the restored buildings in the Village. It was identified that experience has shown that books on display at random through the Village are particularly susceptible to theft. Therefore, no award will be given. (g) Location of Suggestion Box at Authority Office: It was suggested that a suggestion box be placed in a permanent location in the Administrative Office building to make it more accessible to people offering suggestions. The Committee identified that the previous experiment with a suggestion box was not used and the box that was previously located at Black Creek Pioneer Village (taken down when re- decorating) would be re- installed. No award will be given for this suggestion. (h) Up- dating Visitors Guide: It was suggested that the Visitors Guide as handed out at the main gate be up -dated to provide additional services to the public. The Visitors Guide will be up -dated as normal when it is required to be re- printed. The present supply is adequat and the cost factor for re- printing each year would be prohibitive. No award will be given. (i) Pioneer Life Program: It was suggested that as part of the Pioneer Life Program children should participate in the hooking of rugs. This program has been operative for several years and the children to participate in rug hooking. No award will be given. B -512 (j) Half Way House Menu: It was suggested that the "Bill of Fare" for the Half Way House be placed on the interior door leading down to the dining room. This would be of service to the public. The location suggested would not be in keeping with the decor of the reconstructed Half Way House. However, replacing the menu outside the building where it was previously situated, or at some other available location, would provide a service to the public. The outside menu sign, although located on the outside wall for several years, was not replaced this year. Some consideration should be given for this suggestion. (k) Cleaning of Black Creek South of the Office: It was suggested that the river channel in the Black Creek be cleaned up to enhance the landscape and clean up our environment. This is a continuing program, not only by Authority staff but also by several volunteer groups, each year. Since this is a standard program, no award will be given. (1) Clarification of Menu (Half Way House): It was suggested that on the "Bill of Fare" menu that the type of soup should be identified in order to advise the public before entering the dining room. The Committee felt that this was very similar to the Soup -Of- The -Day that is on most restaurant menus and the operation of the Half Way House is no different than other eating establishments. The waitresses identify the Soup -Of- The -Day to the customers. Therefore, no award will be given. (m) Sign for Hours of Operation for the Gift Shop: It was suggested that a sign be posted outside the Gift Shop door advertising the hours of operation. It is anticipated that this would increase sales and provide a service to the public. It was determined that this is a service to the public that should have been a matter of course for the Pioneer Village. It is therefore worthy of some consideration. (n) Sign for Hours of Operation for Half Way House: It was suggested that a sign advertising when the Half Way House would be open to the public for meals be posted on the door leading to the dining room. The Committee identified that this was similar to the menu situation in that the location of the sign would not be in keeping with the decor of the building. It should, however, be identified on the menu that would be posted in some location. No award will be given. (o) Draper - 2nd Wicket - Main Gate House: It was suggested that the right -hand gate at the Black Creek Pioneer Village have the windows enclosed with drapes B -513 - 4 - when it is not in use. This would improve the decor of the main entrance. The Black Creek Pioneer Village staff identified that this was a matter of discussion among gift shop and gate attendants some time ago and directions were given to proceed with this installation. It was determined that the original idea may have been generated by the person offering the suggestion. Therefore, some consideration for an award should be given. (p) Unisex "T" Shirts: It was suggested that unisex "T" shirts be offered for sale in the gift shop. These would advertise the Black Creek Pioneer Village which would provide needed publicity and a saleable item. It was identified that this has been an on -going item of sale in the gift shop for several years and is not a new suggestion. No award will be given. (q) Listing of the Taylor Cooperage on the Visitors Guide: It was suggested that the listing of this particular building on the Guide as being restored causes confusion to the visitors as there has been no construction to date. The inclusion of this building on the Guide was necessary since it was anticipated that construction would take place within the 2 -year life of the Guide. It was not considered to be a problem to the Black Creek Pioneer Village visitor. No award will be given. (4) D. Hebert -- Ambulance Service for Drowning Victims. It was suggested that the new treatment developed by the Toronto General Hospital for Sick Children be adopted as the Authority policy for drowning victims. In this situation the Authority would direct any accident victim to be taken directly to the Sick Children's Hospital. The Committee identified that this process has not yet been perfecter_ and when it has been perfected it will probably be available at all hospitals and all emergency vehicles. The responsibility to a drowning victim in the Conservation Areas is to apply first aid and contact the emergency vehicles who are responsible for the provision of medical aid and the transportation to a hospital. These agencies and /or the victim's relatives are the only people responsible for directing the amublance to any location other than the closest hospital. No award will be offered.

Your consideration of this resolution is respectfully re- quested. Yours very truly, - It. F. Cloutier, Borough Clerk. /dms c.c. H. Rimon, Commission of Planning K. G. Higgs, Sec. M.T.R.C.A. In this connection, the Executive Committee took the following action: RMS. #427 Nbved by: Seconded by: M.J. Breen Mrs. L. Hancey RESOLVED THAT: The Authority advise all regional and area municipalities in the area under the jurisdiction of the Authority of the powers of conservation authorities, under The Conservation Authorities Act, with respect to the adoption and administration of Regulations regarding Fill, Construction and Alteration of Waterways; and THAT,The Metropolitan 'Ibronto and Region Conservation Authority provide these municipalities with information regarding the present practices of the Authority with respect to the administration of Ontario Regulation 735 /73 and the provision of Notices of Applications and Hearings; AND FURTHER THAT: The staff be requested to prepare a report and recommendations on this matter for submission to the Minister of Natural Resources and to the area and regional municipalities in the area under the jurisdiction of the Authority. CARRIED; Accordingly, the following information was forwarded to all municipalities: B -527 3 Present Practices of the Authority - Ontario Regulation 735/73 The Authority has adopted regulations under Section 27 of The Conservation Authorities Act. I enclose, a copy of this section for your information. You will note that the Act provides, "before refusing permission required under a regulation made under clause b, e or f of subsection 1, the authority, or where the power to issue permission has been delegated to its executive committee, the executive committee shall hold a hearing to which the applicant shall be a party." In conducting the hearing required under section (2a), the Authority has adopted the following procedures: (1) When the Authority receives an application pertaining to Ontario Regulation 735/73 the regional municipality and the local municipality in which the application is located is advised that an application has been received. (2) If a hearing has to be held, the Authority advises the regional municipality and the local municipality of the time and place at which the hearing will be held at the same time as the applicant is advised of the hearing. (3) If a hearing is not to be held, the Authority advises the regional municipality and the local municipality of the time and place of the Executive Committee meeting at which the application will be considered. (4) The legislation provides that the Executive Committee shall hold a hearing to which the applicant shall be a party. This provision notwithstanding, the Executive Committee will hear information from other parties including municipalities, provided that the information is pertinent to the application and the matters set out in the Act which the Authority shall be concerned with in respect of an application. You will note that subsection (2c) of Section 27 provides, "an applicant who has been refused permission may, within thirty days of the receipt of the reasons for the decision, appeal to the Minister who may dismiss the appeal or grant the permission." Appeals made to the Minister under this subsection are made by the applicant and are heard by the Ontario Lands Commissioner and the Commissioner makes a recommendation to the Minister. A report is now being prepared for submission to the Minister of Natural Resources, the local and regional municipalities and this will be forwarded to you as soon as possible. Further in compliance with the direction of the Executive Committee, the following report has been prepared for the Minister of Natural Resources: THE CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES ACT The powers granted an authority under The Conservation Authorities Act pertaining to valley management have been included in the Act by amendments at various times since the mid 1960's. Originally authorities were granted the power to exercise control over fill and development in flood plain areas. By subsequent amendment this power was extended to control fill in any area defined by the Authority and to control the straightening, diverting, changing or interfering with watercourses. All of the provisions for regulatory power are of a permissive nature in that they enable the Authority to issue a permit for works that are proposed to be undertaken. In 1973, an amendment to The Conservation Authorities Act provided that, "before refusing permission required under a regulation made under clause b, e or f of subsection 1, the Authority or where power to issue permission has been delegated to its Executive Committee, the Executive Committee shall hold a hearing to which the applicant shall be a party." B -528 4 The amendment further provided that, "an applicant who has been refused permission may, within 30 days of receipt of the reasons for the decision, appeal to the Minister who may dismiss the appeal or grant the permission." The inclusion of the 1973 amendment together with the passing of the Statutory Procedures Act in the same year, placed the Authority or the Executive:Co mtittee in the position of performing as a tribunal in matters pertaining to regulations made under Section 27 of The Conservation Authorities Act. The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has delegated responsibilities for hearings under Section 27 of the Act to its Executive Committee. The Executive Committee has adopted procedures in conformity with the Statutory Procedures Act for conducting hearings. The Role of Regulations in Water and Related Land Management Under the Conservation Authorities Act, the Authority is charged with the responsibility of establishing and undertaking a program designed to further the conservation, restoration development and management of natural resources in the area over which it has jurisdiction. Water and Related Land Management forms a major part of this program. There are nine watersheds under the jurisdiction of the Authority and these vary greatly in terms of physical characteristics and the stage of urban development, both fiom watershed to watershed and from location to location within watersheds. There is also considerable difference in municipal objectives for the watersheds. The physical characteristics, stage of urban development, and municipal objectives, vary both in geography and over time. The Authority's approach to Water and Related Land Management must recognize that a dynamic system is being dealt with, and that no one component of management is capable of doing the entire job satisfactorily. For this reason, the program has many components, and their application must be constantly adjusted. The major components of the program are: (a) Acquisition of Flood Plain and Conservation Lands A master plan of Flood Plain and Conservation Lands has been adopted. This plan identifies the lands which are suitable for public acquisition. It is not feasible or desirable to acquire all valley lands, and judgements have to be made on a site specific basis if other components of the programme are more suitable to achieve the protection necessary. (b) Flood Reduction Measures This component consists of flood and erosion control channels, dyking, filling and storage reservoirs. These are generally applied to protect areas where acquisition is not feasible by reason of existing land use or valley characteristics. (c) Upstream Conservation Measures This component includes reforestation, agricultural land use practises, upstream erosion control and watercourse management. It is applied generally in the middle and upper valley zones to, reduce runoff and erosion. B -529 5 (d) Flood Warning and Flood Forecasting A system of stream flow gauges, precipitation guages and weather forecast monitoring provides warning of flood events to enable precautionary measures being taken. (e) Planning and Development Control This component provides opportunities for the Authority to comment on official plans, zoning by -laws, committee of adjustment hearings and development proposals of other agencies and developers as a routine part of the municipal planning process. Comments are based on adopted programmes and policies of the Authority. The application of regulations made under the Conservation Authorities Act is included in this component. The purpose of the regulation is to enable the Authority to exercise control over treatment of the valley system which will, in the opinion of the Authority, - affect the control of flooding, pollution or the conservation of land - restrict the use of water in rivers, streams, inland lakes, ponds and swamps or change or interfere with a watercourse. The regulation must be used in conjunction with the other components of the Water and Related Land Management Program. This involves judgement decisions of the Authority as to which component or combination of components will achieve the objective of the Authority. Some principles which the Authority has followed in applying its regulations are as follows: The regulation is not used as a substitute for other components of the program. For example, the flood plain and conservation land acquisition component was designed to bring into public ownership, those valley lands required to pass flood flows over a natural watercourse, and where there was a public open space objective to be achieved. The pi.operty rights required for this objective are acquired in fee simple, not through the application of the regulation. The regulation is applied only insofar as proposed development w ill affect the altering of a watercourse, or the control of flooding, pollution or the conservation of land. Included in the conservation of land are matters relating to slope stability and erosion. It is the concern of the Authority that proposed development in any one location in the valley system be acceptable in terms of the standard set for flooding, pollution or the conservation of land over the entire drainage system. Development considered acceptable from these points of view may be judged un- suitable by a municipality in terms of its planning objectives or vice versa. - the application of the regulation is not a substitute for the municipal planning process. B -530 6 The Role of the Municipality in the Application of Regulations The resolutions of the Council of the Borough of Etobicoke requests the Province of Ontario to "undertake the necessary steps to ensure that the affected municipalities have an appropriate opportunity to express their opinion" and that "the Conservation Authorities Act R.S.O 1970 be amended to include appeal procedures similar to other Ontario legislation." In respect of the first request, the Authority has adopted procedures which permit adequate opportunity for municipal input to any specific application under the regulation. - the municipality is advised that an application has been received immediately upon receipt of the application. - the municipality is advised of the date of the Executive Meeting when the application will be dealt with at the same time the applicant is advised. - rules for the conduct of the Authority adopted by resolution 88/75 provide for delegations to be heard at Executive Meetings in respect of any matter before the Executive. In addition to the opportunity to participate in the decision making process on individual applications, the municipality and the Authority are involved in a continuing planning process. It is through this process that the most effective coordination of agency objectives is achieved. The Authority is, at the present time, conducting a review of its Water and Related Land Management Program as a part of its preparation of a Watershed Plan. The policies and components as they are developed are reviewed and commented on by the municipalities. At the same time, the Authority reviews and comments on municipal official plans, secondary plans and official plan amendments. The primary objective of this coordination is to avoid inconsistencies between the Authority and municipal work which may lead to conflict on individual components such as the regulation. IT IS THE POSITION OF THE AUTHORITY THAT THE PRESENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR MUNICIPAL INPUT INTO DECISIONS MADE WITH RESPECT TO APPLICATIONS UNDER ONTARIO REGULATION 735 /73 ARE ADEQUATE. THE AUTHORITY SUBMITS THAT POTENTIAL DISAGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE AUTHORITY AND A MUNICIPALITY, ARISING FROM THE AUTHORITY NOT FULLY APPRECIATING THE MUNICIPAL POSITION WOULD BE REDUCED IF APPLICANTS WERE REQUIRED TO HAVE MATT RS RELATING TO OFFICIAL PLAN DESIGNATIONS AND ZONING DEALT WITH BY THE MUNICIPALITY PRIOR TO APPLICATION BEING MADE TO THE AUTHORITY FOR A PERMIT UNDER ONTARIO REGULATION 735/73. THERE IS PRESENTLY NO SUCH LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENT. The second point raised by the Borough of Etobicoke deals with an amendment to the Conservation Authorities Act which would provide for appeal procedures similar to other Ontario legislation. The point of concern to the Borough is that under the present legislation, only the applicant has the right of appeal. Municipalities wishing to pursue matters relating to their planning mandate in respect of a decision made by the Authority, must do so through the planning legislation under which municipalities operate. B -531 7 At the Conservation Authorities Conference in Sault St. Marie, held September 11, 12, and 13, 1978, the Me tropolitan,Toronto and Region Conservation Authority proposed the following resolution: WHEREAS, Section 27 of The Conservation Authorities Act requires that, before refusing permission of an application under an Authority regulation, the Authority or its Executive Committee is required to hold a hearing to which the applicant shall be a party, and; WHEREA5 the decision of the Authority or its Executive Committee is appealable to the Minister of Natural Resources, and; WHEREAS, this requirement places the Authority or its Executive Committee in a position of performing as a quasi judicial body, receiving and evaluating evidence, and; WHEREAS, an Authority is not well suited for such a quasi judicial function; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Minister of Natural Resources be requested to consider an amendment to Section 27 of The Conservation Authorities Act which would provide for an Authority issuing or not issuing permits on technical criteria and giving reasons where permission has to be refused and providing for appeals to be heard by a body which is properly constituted to hear and evaluate evidence. The resolution was not supported by the Conference. The non - acceptance of this resolution notwithstanding it is the position of the Authority that THE PROVISIONS IN THE CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES ACT, SECTION 27 DEALING WITH HEARINGS AND APPEALS IN RESPECT OF REGULATIONS ARE INADEQUATE AND SHOULD BE REVIEWED. The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority recommends that the Minister of Natural Resources in considering the recommendations of the Council of the Borough of Etobicoke set out in their letter of September 13, 1978, give consideration to the comments of the Authority as follows: IT IS THE POSITION OF THE AUTHORITY THAT THE PRESENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR MUNICIPAL INPUT INTO DECISIONS MADE WITH RESPECT TO APPLICATIONS UNDER ONTARIO REGULATION 735 /73 ARE ADEQUATE. THE AUTHORITY SUBMITS THAT POTENTIAL DISAGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE AUTHORITY AND A MUNICIPALITY, ARISING FROM THE AUTHORITY, NOT FULLY APPRECIATING THE MUNICIPAL POSITION WOULD BE REDUCED IF APPLICANTS WERE REQUIRED TO HAVE MATTERS RELATING TO OFFICIAL PLAN DESIGNATIONS AND ZONING DEALT WITH BY THE MUNICIPALITY PRIOR TO APPLICATION BEING MADE TO THE AUTHORITY FOR A PERMIT UNDER ONTARIO REGULATION 735 /73.

REGULATIONS MADE BY THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY UNDER THE CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES ACT - Calling of Meetings A staff communication was presented, advising that Regulations made by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (adopted by Resolution #88/75 of the Authority at Meeting held Friday, November 21, 1975 and approved by 'the Minister of Natural Resources on the 15 day of January, 1976 under Section 29 of The Conservation Authorities Act, R.S.O. 1970) and Rules for the Conduct of the Authority (adopted by Resolution #88/75), provide for the calling of Authority meetings as follows: "8. (1) Meetings of the Authority shall be held at least five (5) times a year, at such time and place, within a participating municipality, as the Executive Committee shall decide, and the time span between such meetings shall be not more than ninety (90) days." The time span is causing some difficulty because of the requirement of the Province of Ontario that Authorities must submit preliminary budget estimates and multi -year forecasts to the Province by October 15 annually. The Authority traditionally holds a meeting towards the end of June and one in September; however, due to the new requirements of the Province, the Advisory Boards and the Executive Committee con- sider the preliminary budget estimates and the multi -year forecast during the month of September in order that they can be submitted to and approved by the full Authority prior to October 15. It would be extremely difficult to complete this entire process during the month of September and meet the 90 -day time span limit between meetings. Res. #564 Moved by: J.S. Scott Seconded by: E.H. Card RESOLVED THAT: The communication having regard to the Calling of Meetings under Regulations made by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority under Section 29 of The Conservation Authorities Act, R.S.O. 1970, be received; and THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT: Regulations made by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (adopted by Resolution #88/75 of the Authority at Meeting held Friday, November 21, 1975 and approved by the Minister of Natural Resources on the 15th day of January, 1976 under Section 29 of The Conservation Authorities Act, R.S.O. 1970) and Rules for the Conduct of the Authority (adopted by Resolution #88/75) be amended to read as follows: "8.

Only 86% of the estimated conservation services revenue was received due partially to approx. $800 of uneollectable bills. The streambank erosion control program was overspent by 5% while revenues fnxn this program were 115 %. Conservation Areas All development items scheduled for 1978 were completed. Area operation expenditures exceeded the budget allocation. This was a result of acquisition of additional ski equipment for Albion Hills and Bruce's Mill, canoe- ing equipment for Claireville, portable radios, snowmobiles and the construction of the Palgrave winter parking area. This overexpenditure will be covered by excess conservation area revenues. Overall conservation area revenues were well in excess of budget estimates. An excellent winter season with increased interest in the ski programs at Albion Hills and Bruce's Mill, the opening of Claremont for skiing, a renewed interest in the Bruce's Mill maple syrup program and a revision of the fee structure at Cold Creek resulted in a substantial increase in revenues during the winter season. Ideal summer weather resulted in a further increase in revenues. 1979.01.16 B -549 TO: THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE M.T.R.C.A. - Meeting #22/78 RE: WATER RESOURCE DIVISION OGRESS REPORT FROM OCTOBER 1, 1978 TO CEMBER 31, 1978 FLOOD CONTROL SECTION 1) MAINTENANCE WATER CONTROL STRUCTURES (a) PROGRESS Normal day to day maintenance was carried out on all the water control structures.

MEETING #22/78 RE: WATER RESOURCE DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT FROM OCTOBER 1, 1978 to DECEMBER 31, 1978 Page 7 WATERFRONT SECTION 1978 has been a successful year for waterfront development, particularly in regard to progress of the two landfill sites at Humber Bay and Bluffers Park. The development of the completed landfill sites has been somewhat slower than originally planned as a result of reduced development budgets. The level of Provincial funding for the Water- front Project in 1979 is still uncertain pending Provincial approval of the Supplementary Waterfront Project. COLONEL SAMUEL BOIS SMITH - The Ministry of Natural Resources requested additional information on the substrate in the area of the proposed landfill before approving the Master Plan document. As a result, a diving survey and a program of fish netting were undertaken in order to collect the additional data. It is anticipated that this data will be sufficient to allow the Ministry of Natural Resources to approve the Master Plan and subse- quently, for the Ministry of the Environment to proceed with the Environmental Assessment process. - It is no longer anticipated that all necessary approvals for the Master Plan can be obtained in time to implement a landfilling operation at Colonel Samuel Bois Smith Waterfront Area in the spring of 1979. HUMBER BAY WEST -The site has grown by an additional 12 acres over October, November and December as a result of continuing landfilling operations. The total area of the site is now forty acres and it is expected that all necessary landfilling will be completed by mid February, 1979. -The Humber Bay Boating Federation plans to increase its moorings at the site in 1979 to accommodate approximately 400 boats. The Federation has selected a permanent dock and an order has been placed to supply an adequate number of docks for the installation in April and May. Discussions are still ongoing with various planning committees of the Federation to finalize the details of site servicing, grading, navigational aids, etc. HUMBER BAY EAST -The site services contract is complete and ready for final connections to be made when the buildings and other site development features are installed in 1979. - Final preparations are being made to call tenders for the structural components of the park development, principally the park buildings, foot bridges and day mooring docks. - Landscaping plans have been submitted for review and if funding permits, the Conservation Land Management Division will be proceeding with final landscaping in the west end of the site in 1979. WESTERN BEACHES - The detailed Master Plan and proposed programme of development are nearing completion. However, discussion with City of Toronto officials is ongoing with respect to the proposed development between the Boulevard Club and the Toronto Sailing and Canoe Club, as well as conditions of the transfer of lands to the Authority.

Meeting #22/78 RE: Water Resource Division Progress Report From October 1, 1978 to December 31, 1978 Page 8 BLUFFERS, PHASE II - During October, November and December, 3.5 acres of land were created bringing the total to approximately 36.5 acres. - The winter fill programme is being carried out in an area of protected water and is concentrating on the completion of the easterly end of the Federation Island. - Public Works Canada has completed the contract for armouring the east side of the entrance, under the Small Craft Harbour Assistance Programme. No response has been received as yet as to the continuation of Federal funding for the remainder of the armouring requirements. -The Bluffers Boating Federation is preparing plans for the 1979 season and it is anticipated that 50 -100 boats will be moored at the site. -The detailed design of the boat launching area and adjacent parking lot and day mooring area is nearing completion in preparation for tendering in late February. EAST POINT - Hough Stansbury and Associates has submitted preliminary results of their Master Plan review and specifications for comments by the Authority staff. This design process will be ongoing in 1979 in preparation for construction to begin at this site upon completion of Bluffers, Phase II in 1981. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING - The collection of field data was completed in November. The data is now being analyzed and the results are being documented in a final report which should be available in February, 1979. SHORELINE MANAGEMENT - Preparation of a detailed Master Plan for shoreline management in the Scarborough sector is ongoing. Consulting firms are being interviewed in an effort to select a firm which can complete the detailed considerations of shore protection and bank stabilizatior -The contract drawings for protective work along the Eastern Beaches in the City of Toronto are virtually complete. It is anticipated that the contract will be tendered early in 1979, subject to the availability of Provincial cash flow.

MEETING #22/78 RE: HISTORICAL SITES DIVISION STAFF PROGRESS REPORT OCTOBER 1 TO DECEMBER 31, 1978 1) PROGRAM (a) Registration and Artifacts Since October, the Registration Department has received 18 donations consisting of 60 articles. Items of note include: an 18th century harp which is presently being restored by the Village cabinetmaker, an 1850's Smith & Wesson pistol, an 1860 lamp fixture, agricultural tools, a primitive tree stump mortar and pestle and 3 wild flower prints from "Curtis Flora Londenensis" 1817 -28. Over the past several months, the Registration Department has had the assistance of a reliable volunteer for one day a week. Mrs. Felicity Nowell -Smith has been working on the classification and storage of archival material. (b) Publicity and Promotion Artifacts from the Black Creek collection have been loaned to the Toronto Historical Board, the Vaughan Township Historical Society and Gibson House in North York. Artifacts have been rented to Chatelaine Magazine and the National Trust Company for a large window display in downtown Toronto. The Village has been busy once again with commercial and promotional photography. Copp -Clark produced cover photographs for a series of public school mathematics text books. C.B.C. filmed filler material at the Village and one sequence of the program "An Evening Out" aired December 21st was produced on Black Creek. Metro Cable television filmed interviews with Village staff for a weekly news- magazine show "Seneca Newsweek." Newspaper and magazine articles continue to publicize Black Creek including a picture article in the "Scotiabanker," and the Century 21 newsmagazine "Gold Post," Christmas pictures for the Globe and Mail and an article on Christmas at Black Creek in the York Regional "Topic." Staff were interviewed by C.K.C.O. television on the Betty Thompson Show at Thanksgiving and C.I.T.Y. television on City Classified at Christmas. Radio interviews included C.K.O., the Bob Komsic Show; C.B.C., the Fresh Air Show; C.F.R.B., the Earl Warren Show, and the John Bradshaw Show. Village staff has been involved in giving lectures to the following groups: Don Mills Collegiate Canadiana Group, twice; Norman Ingram Public School Canadiana Group,twice; the Grange lecture series; the Northlea United Church ladies group; the Canadian Antique Collectors Association; the Annual Meeting of the Ontario Museum Association; the Central Peel Secondary School Teachers; the Architectural Conservation Seminar in Alton, and the Peel County Historical Society, Brampton Seminar. Also,Mr. Cooper has been called on as a consultant for Essex Conservation Authority and the Credit Valley Conservation Authority. Several village interpreters took part in a craft display presented at Ontario Place during Thanksgiving weekend. (c) Special Events During October, November and December, the Fisherville Church was the site of 11 weddings and Half Way House held 25 receptions and parties. On December 18th, C.F.R.B. held their Annual Christmas Service at Black Creek. Livestock staff took the Village oxen to participate in fall festivals at Doon Pioneer Village and Jordan Museum. The very successful Christmas program through December was assisted by weekend carollers from St. Philip's Lutheran Church and the Girl Guides of Canada. B -560 HISTORICAL SITES DIVISION STAFF PROGRESS REPORT OCTOBER 1 TO DECEMBER 31, 1978 PAGE 2 (d) Building Maintenance and Construction The Richmond Hill Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee sponsored a campaign which successfully raised the funds to move the Richmond Hill Manse to Black Creek, and the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority raised sufficient funds to place the Manse on a foundation. On October 5th, the Manse was moved into the Village and placed on its basement. Since then, the building has been winter - proofed and hydro brought into the basement. A drive shed was donated to the Village by Bob Stewart of Hornby. Through the volunteer assistance of local Mennonites, the drive shed was dismantled and moved to Black Creek where it will be reassembled in 1979 opposite the Mennonite Meeting House. The skate shack changing -room has been completely refitted and repainted both for the winter season and for use as a clubhouse by the Village scout troop. Renovations to the Administration Office and Workshop have provided additional office space and an enlarged lunchroom for the maintenance men. Summer maintenance equipment has been stored for protection against the weather, all furnaces have been overhauled for the winter and all chimneys cleaned. The verandah on the Stong's Second Home has been completely rebuilt and reinforced. The east end has been closed off and the verandah now has only the centre stairs. (e) Ground Maintenance and Development The lower yard parking lot has been levelled and regraded resulting in an improvement in the ice facilities through the winter and as well as providing better drainage for the whole area. The items stored in the lower yard have now been completely relocated providing a large clear treed area. New boardwalk has been installed along Maple Avenue from the Gunsmith Shop to the Doctor's House. Steel plates have been installed under the road surface over the mill flume to provide protection for the flume and to reduce future maintenance costs. Three hundred trees have been wrapped to help prevent damage from animals through the winter. The ground around Half Way House and the Laskay Store has been regraded and drainage pipes installed to help prevent spring flooding and seepage. (f) Livestock Two of the mares are in foal and the cow is in calf. All of the pigs and about 50 per cent of the sheep have been shipped to market. Extra ducks have been slaughtered and frozen to be used in Village cooking demonstrations through the year. (g) Staff Four staff members attended the Ontario Museum Association Annual Meeting in Belleville. Jeanne Hughes was elected President of the O.M.A. at this conference. Margaret Hesp, who has been working in the Registration Department for several years, has been appointed Registrar and Douglas Smith has been hired as Assistant Registrar.

Operations & Maintenance - Black Creek Pioneer Village While expenditures were over budget, the revenue was also more than budgeted, and as a result the Village had a good financial year. A very successful Christmas program brought attendance up considerably. At one period during the year, it was about 10,000 below 1977, but the December 31st figures indicate an increase of 1,767 over last year. Increasing the citizenship tax had the effect of considerably reducing the numbers who participated in this program from 699 to 450. The Dickson's Hill School program continues to be very popular and 32 classes participated in 1978. B. Historical Sites Development The very lengthy delay in getting Wintario approval hampered this program and although the Doctor's Home was completed, other restorationsincluding the Taylor Cooperage, the Sawyer's Home and the Richmond Hill Manse had to be delayed until 1979.

Kortright Centre for Conservation Throughout the year 1978 there have been over 10,000 students participating in a variety of education programs. Almost 5,000 members of the general public visited the Centre on open days, or have participated in seminars and various other business meetings. The official opening is scheduled for the Spring, 1979 and progre: is accelerating in the area of exhibit - research, design and construction preparatory to the opening. It is anticipated that several exhibits related to the five themes: Water, Land, Forestry, Fish and Wildlife and Energy, will be completed, with additional related exhibits provided on a short -term loan basis, for the official opening. The Forestry and Fish and Wildlife Committees have completed their reports. The Water and Energy Committees have scheduled meetings in January, 1979. Lake St. George The Metropolitan Toronto School Board, the Metropolitan Separate School Board and the York County Board of Education are to meet in January to draw -up the LAKE ST. GEORGE AGREEMENT, similar to the BOYD AGREEMENT. The Ontario March of Dimes is still intending to participate in the Lake St. George project, but is having to consider other sources of funding as Wintario did not accept their submission for a grant. The construction of Phase I has begun and is on schedule. The dormitory shell will be completed in time for the student participation program to begin early in March, 1979. Occupancy is scheduled for the fall of 1979, as planned. Education Programs at Black Creek Pioneer Village The Conservation Education Programs at Black Creek Pioneer Village continue to be popular with the tours, especially the Christmas Program and the Pioneer Life Program operating, at capacity to the end of December, 1978. These programs continue to attract students from greater distances each year. 70,000 students attended to the end of December 1978, compared to just over 67,000 in 1977.

Conservation and Recreation Land Management - Conservation Area Information and Interpretive Program (C3) 1978 Actual 1978 Expenditures Budget Expenditures % of Budget $ 21,000 $ 21,296 101% B -567 5 FINANCIAL COMMENTS (a) Operations and Maintenance - Community Relations The gross expenditures are $50,720 over the 1978 budget estimate, largely as a result of the cost incurred converting the Albion Hills Conservation Farm from a beef to a dairy operation. The gross revenues exceeded budget estimates by $50,681 as a result of the sale of cattle, machinery and other equipment on the farm. The net cost to the Authority of the Information and Education Operations is $39 or 0.005% over budget. (b) Water and Related Land Management - Community Relations Program (W10) Expenditures for non - project elements were higher than the budget estimate as a result of a substantial severance paid to an employee leaving the Authority and the Authority's C.N.E. exhibit. These expenditures of nearly $15,000 were not anticipated when the 1978 budget was adopted and are partially offset by reduced expenditures in other accounts, resulting in a net deficit for the total budget of approximately $5,000. Expenditures for project elements were below budget estimates due to the curtailment of expenditures as a result of late Wintario approvals. (c) Conservation Area Information and Interpretive Program (C3) Expenditures are in line with budget estimates. T. E. Barber, Administrator, Information and Education Division.
