CURRENT AND CAPITAL BUDGET ESTIMATES
AUTHORITY PURPOSE, ACHIEVEMENTS AND OBJECTIVES
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has adopted a program designed to further the conservation, restor-
ation, development and management of the natural resources of the 1,339 square miles included in the Authority's area of juris-
diction. 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 development,
and fish and wildlife management. In implementing these programs, 26~600 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, 61% of the Authority's capital and development budget has been devoted to Water and Related Land Manage-
ment, 25% has been devoted to Lake Ontario Shoreline Management, 12% to Conservation and Recreation Land Management and 2% to
Outdoor and Conservation Education.
The 1980 budget estimates for administration, operations and maintenance, current and capital progr~~s 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.
FOlli~AT OF PRESENTATION
These budget estimates are in accordance with the requirementB of The Ministry of Natural Resources "Policy, Procedure and
Information Manual for Conservation Authorities".
There are five major types of Provincial grants available through the Ministry of Natural Resources to Conservation
Authorities:-
1) Administration 4) Special Projects and Programs
2) Water & Related Land Management 5) Supplementary Grants (not applicable to M.T.R.C.A.)
3) Conservation & Recreation Land Management
2.
AUTHORITY PROGRAMS
The Authority Programs in these budget estimates are in seven basic categories:-
1) Administration 4) Conservation & Recreation Land Management
Administration a) Conservation Areas - Support
b) Conservation Areas - Development
2) Operations & Maintenance c) Cons. Area Information & Interp. Program
d) Rent & Utility Services
a) General Operations e) Taxes and Insurance
b) Conservation Area Operations
c) Information & Education Operations 5) Waterfront
d) Black Creek Pioneer Village Operations
Waterfront - Support
3) Water & Related Land Management
a) Operations & Maintenance of Water Control Structures 6) Special Projects
b) Community Relations - Support Waterfront Plan
c) Community Relations - Development
d) Taxes and Insurance 7) Historic Sites
e) Interim Water & Related Land Management - Current & Capital
f) Interim Water & Related Land Management - Keating Channel Historic Sites Development
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.
The basis of equalized assessment for 1980 has been changed in order to conform with the policy adopted by the Ministry of
Natural Resources regarding "Changes to Provincial Equalization Factors (Provincial Equalized Assessment) and Related Strategy
to Reduce the Impact".
Expenditures on capital programs are financed as a Capital Levy on municipalities based on levies designated in the specific
projects.
INTERIM WATER & RELATED LAND MANAGEMENT PROJECT
The year 1980 is the second year of the three year Interim Water and Related Land Management Project. This project enables
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.
3.
The Provincial Cash Flow, which has been authorized for Water and Related Land Management work in 1980, has required a reduc-
tion in this Project. Amendments have been made to the budget accordingly.
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 in 1978 $11,486,993 (including $8,500,000 for the acquisition of the Guild Inn).
Metropolitan Toronto agreed to increase their share of the levy for this project by $496,000 each year for 1979, 1980 and 1981.
Due to cash flow limitations from the Province, the $496,000 matching grant was not available in 1979. The 1980 budget provides
for estimated expenditures of $2,138,250 plus $992,000 for the supplementary pro~ect. A levy amount of $185,408 in 1980 is
allocated to match expenditures and Provincial Grants for the years 1977, 1978 and 1979. The total amount being levied in
1930 is within the project authorization as approved by the Ontario Municipal Board.
THE 1980 LEVY
The apportionment of the 1980 municipal levies is based on figures supplied by the Province of Ontario and adjusted in accor-
dance with the policy adopted by the Ministry of Natural Resources regarding "Changes to Provincial Equalization Factors

palities. Within Metropolitan Toronto, Authority lands are not subject to taxation.

SCHEDULE nA"
1980 r1ARKET I NG PLAN
FOR
BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE, KORTRIGHT CENTRE FOR CONSERVATION
AND CONSERVATION AREAS
INTRODUCTION
The three major revenue-generating activities of The Metropolitan Toronto and
Region Conservation Authority are: Black Creek Pioneer Vil1age~ the'Kortright
Centre for Conservation (because of its newness, is not yet a substantial
revenue-producer, but its potential is enormous)~ and the Authority's
Conservation Areas.
.
Throughout the past two decades, both Black Creek Pioneer Village and the
various Conservation Areas have enjoyed noteworthy success in attracting
visitors, the numbers varying from year-to-year due to factors such as the
weather, alternative attractions, and the measure of publicity accorded to each.
- For the most part, the Metropolitan Toronto ~egion and its citizens have been
well served by these facilities and their use has earned the appreciation of
municipal and provincial governments, school boards, farmers, and the general
public.
Now the Authority faces a number of factors that can have an important
bearing, whether attendances and, therefore, revenues from Black Creek Pioneer
Village, the Kortright Centre, or the Conservation Areas are to diminish,
remain at current levels, or increase. Some of these factors are:
1- A large proportion of the public in this area has visited
Black Creek Pioneer Village during the past two decades. A
great many of these persons now feel, "I've seen it, there's
no need to go again", not being aware of the expansion and
the many changes and additions.
2. Despite the efforts of the Authority and its members to
publicize them, the public is not generally aware of the
variety of attractions between Conservation Areas and, as
B-35
- 2 -
this is the case with alack Creek Pioneer Village, a
whole new generation now needs to be made cognizant of the
existence of these recreational and educational facilities.
3. Kortright Centre for Conservation, as mentioned earlier, is
still unfamiliar to the majority of region citizens. As this
unique facility develops and its special programs and attractions
are brought non streamn, extra effort will be required to
see that they become known to the public.
,
,
4. The Metropolitan Toronto area is providing a tremendous
number of both public and commercial attractions, and more
are coming into being each year (eg. the new Canada's
Wonderland, the 320-acre park ~cheduled to open in the
spring of 1981).
At the same time as these new attendance influences have been making them-
selves evident (all competing for time and dollars, but some are complementary),
t~e overall Information activities of the Authority have been expanded greatly
in scope, as well as volume of output. This has resulted in a.reduction of
utilizing the various promotional techniques available to the advantage of
Black Creek Pioneer Village and the Conservation Areas. This has been
necessitated by policy commitments to:
a) improve the public's understanding of the Authority's
basic water management functionr
b) increase the flow of communication to employees and to
Authority membersJ
c) concentrate on improving and increasing media relations,
d) television promotions, brochures, and pub~ications.
As a result of this expanded Information effort, the staff of the Information
section has neither the additional time, nor the budget to provide a concen-
trated Marketing/Information Program that will meet the current and future
needs of the three revenue-producing activities - Black Creek Pioneer Village,
the Kortright Centre for Conservation and the Conservation Areas.
B-36
- 3 -
The 1979 Community Relations Program makes provision for promoting these
revenue-generating operations of the Authority, using a broad range of
communication tools such as press, radio and television releases, brochures,
films and photography, special events, staff interviews, employee and member
publications, watershed tours, seminars, the Foundation, etc. Providing a
balance with the publicizing of other meritorious projects and activities of
the Authority in an expanded program, however, results in a lessening of
intensity for this portion of the Community Relations Program, as well as
placing additional workload on a staff that has not increased in size.
In view of all of the foregoing, it is recommended that a separate Marketing/
Information Program be. introduced for the three revenue-generating activities
mentioned above. It is our belief that such a program can effectively
maintain or increase attendance and use of these special conservation
recreation facilities.
THE PROGRAM
Policy
It is the policy of the Authority:
- to try to derive the maximum revenue possible from the
operation of Black Creek Pioneer Village, the Kortright
Centre for Conservation, and the Conservation Areas, in
keeping with its responsibility to make these facilities
available to the widest possible segment of the public, at
reasonable cost.
- to encourage public participation in the programs of these
projects, so as to further educate people regarding the
importance of conservation of renewable natural resources.
- to provide members and staff with a flow of information that
will keep them abreast of plans and actions regarding the
projects in question.
B-37
- 4 -
- to communicate regularly with area and regional munici-
palities, the provincial government, and region school
boards on the activities in progress at Black Creek Pioneer
Village, the Kortright Centre for Conservation, and the
Conservation Areas.
Objectives
The objectives of the propos~d program are to:
1. Maintain or increase attendance/revenue through an
intensified "marketingn of the special attractions .
offered to the public at the Village, the Kortright Centre,
and at each of the Conservation Areas.
2. Generate re-visits, by citizens and groups, by way of a con-
tinual updating of information th~ough the media, audio-visual
presentations, and in brochures and other publications.
Program Details
A written program and action chart, closely coordinated with the Authority's
overall Community Relations Program, has been developed to meet the objectives
listed above. The program is designed to relate to the customer's n~eds and
desires by using the effective tools of communications,' distribution. and
pricing (discount), to inform and motivate the customer. Techniques include:
- news releases for press and radio and television stations,
which reflect not only current activities at the Village,
Kortright Centre, and the Conservation Areas. but also
highlight changes that have taken place in the Village
(eg. new buildings, displays, and demonstrations), new
facilities, attractions, and amenities at Conservation
. Areas (eg. showshoeing, ski rentals and instruction,
B-38
- 5 -
canoe program, and camping sites), and the introduction
of special nature and scientific demonstrations at Kortright.
- feature articles, dealing with some of the unusual and
dedicated specialists employed by the Authority, will be
supplied to the press, or suggested for possible use.
- special events will be announced to the media, well in
advance of their taking place, and follow-up coverage will
be provided.
- the availability of members and staff for radio and television
interviews and group lectures will be made known to the media.
- brochures, posters, flyers, and pamphlets describing important
projects, special events, education programs, and public
participation activities will be proposed and drafted for
production by the Authority's Information Section.
- the Information Section will be kept advised of plans or
actions of interest to all employees of the Authority for
inclusion in employee publications.
- exhibits, displays, and demonstrations - assistance will be
given in publicizing events such as conservation-related
displays in shopping malls, at fairs, etc., where display
material has been provided by, or with the help.of one of
the Authority's revenue-producing agencies.
The Program and The Customer
.
The most successful way we can interest people in using our facilities is to
make them ~ to participate in what we are offering. To do this,
we must market Black Creek Pioneer Village, the Kortright Centre for
Conservation, and the Conservation Areas, in an enjoyable, healthy, and
B-39
. - 6 -
participative manner. The learning is voluntary and the experience must be
reasonable, entertaining and, in a majority of cases, indelible.
There is also a serious commercial aspect to the marketing of our facilities
which cannot be overlooked. If the work of the Authority is to continue and
expand, it must give evidence of financial responsibility to its supporting
agencies or partners. Facilities such as Black Creek, Kortright, and the
Conservation Areas have a need to generate revenue,as well as visitor use,
if they are to retain the empathy of their supporters.
The successful marketing of our resources to the public becomes, then, a very
important goal from an income p~int of view as well.
0
In developing short (1980-81) and long-range (Watershed Plan 1982) promotion
plans for Black Creek Pioneer Village, the Kortright Centre for Conservation,
and the Conservation Areas, consideration was given to the alternatives of:
- (a) each having its own, individual p~ogram and marketing
budget;
(b) an integrated program of mutual benefit to each of the
three project areas and, with a'broad budget to cover
the single program, each section contributing to it on a
set percentage basis.
It is our conclusion that separate programs and budgets, as in alter~ative (a),
would be inefficient, wasteful and, in many areas, repetitive as to both
content and audiences. Alternative (b), on the other hand. could be
administered for all by one group. The integrated marketing programs would
be easier to develop equitably and the budget would be more easily controlled
and disbursed in an accountable fashion.
Some important timely trends that were considered when developing this
Marketing Proposal are noted here:
- The average work week has been shrinking since 1950 and
there's every indication of a continuation of thia trend.

'.
with the implication of fewer hours worked is more time
available for non-work activities. Some people spend their
extra hours on leisure and recreation. (Woods, Gordon & Co.)
- Over 75% of Canada's population now lives in urban centres.
By the late 1980's, over half of Canada's population is
expected to be living in the three major established
Metropolitan areas - Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal.

Marketing Detail
After consultation with the division heads, responsible for the operation and
administration of Black Creek Pioneer Village, the Kortright Centre for
Conservation, and the Conservation Areas, it was overwhelmingly decided that
a professional marketing study was necessary to look at today's customer and
at our saleable or marketable products.
Woods, Gordon & Company, Marketing Consultants and well recognized firm in
dealing with marketing research, is interested in reviewing and making
recommendations on our proposal, while working closely with the staff, with
B-41
- 8 -
the financial responsibility being shared equally between the three programs.
The estimated cost is $3.000.00. (NOTE: Canada's Wonderland marketing plan
was developed by Woods, Gordon' Co.)
As noted earlier, we are developing a short range or partial program (1980),
with 1981 seeing an expanded program, and the 1982 full program, as identified
in the Watershed Plan.

The Authority's objectives in developing a Marketing/Information Program for
its revenue-generating facilities (Black Creek Pioneer Village, Kortright
Centre for Conservation, and the Conservation Areas) are to create public
awareness of the opportunities for public use; to maintain or increase attend-
ance and, therefore, revenues at these sites; and to illustrate, to the
public, responsible conservation land management practices.
B-44 - 11 -
~ -
It is recommended that the Marketing/Information Program be introduced on a
trial basis for the year 1980 and that a part-time, experienced, freelance
public relations professional be engaged to carry out the duties. The
position would be the direct responsibility of the Information Section and
the employee would be based at the Authority Head Office. Remuneration
would be in the area of $8,000.00 for 1980.
A part-time, experienced, secretary-typist, or a junior, secretary-typist
would also be required for the Marketing/Information operation. This
employee, who would also be based at 5 Shoreham Drive, would carry out the
clerical duties as required by the program. Salary for this staff position
would be approximately $4,500.00 for 1980.
Budget
Funds for the Marketing/Information program would be provided by the three
benefiting operations - Black Creek Pioneer Village, Kortright Centre for
Conservation and Conservation Are~s. Each would contribute $lO,OOO for 1980,
from the operations and maintenance budget, for a total budget of $30,000.
This amount would provide for the retainer for the freelance public relations
person and the secretary-typist, as well as for operating expenditures. The
budget would be administered by the Information and Education Division.
Direct Expenditures - Black Creek Pioneer Village ................. $ 5,885
Kortright Centre for Conservation ........... 5,800
Conservation Areas .......................... 5,815
Part-time public relations professional..... 8,000
Part-time secretary-typist .................. 4,500
TOTAL ....................................... $ 311,000
CONCLUS ION
We believe implementation of this program for 1980 is needed if the' Authority
expects to derive a satisfactory amount of revenue from its continuing, major,
money-generating operations.

matters where a private undertaking is subject to The Environmental

xiv) for the Lieutenant Governor in Council to make regulations to

(B) Comment on Draft Legislation
The Authority has submitted comments on background studies to the preparation of
the draft legislation, in particular to the Planning Act Review Committee
(Comay Committee). The concerns identified were principally that provision be
made for the inclusion of natural resource management concerns in the planning
process and, specifically, that the Authority be enabled to review and comment on
planning proposals which have potential impact on Authority policies and programs.
Staff of the Authority have reviewed the draft Act and requested an opinion from
Gardiner, Roberts, Barristers and Solicitors with regard to the implications of
the proposed legislation on the Authority's participation in the planning process.
The following is submitted for your consideration.
1. Provincial Interest (Sections 2 & 3)
It is unclear how the general definition of "provincial interest" (S.2)
relates to the proposed provincial policy statements (5.3). In particular, it
is not clear whether the Authority's specific resource management concerns
(flood control, erosion control, storm water management, shoreline management,
etc.) are considered to be of "provincial interest" and, if so, whether a
provincial policy statement must, therefore, be issued to address each of these
matters before the Minister of Housing will ensure that planning proposals
recognize and incorporate such concerns.
The Authority has endeavoured to establish an effective working relationship
with its member municipalities and the Ministry of Housing with respect to
the incorporation of Authority concerns at all levels of the planning process.
At such time as a revised Planning Act is finalized, it would be our hope
that this relationship would continue.
In preparing a Watershed Plan for its area of jurisdiction and in obtaining
municipal and provincial approval of such a plan, it would seem reasonable
that the Authority should be enabled to review and comment upon all planning
proposals which may impact on the policies and programs of the Plan. The
status of such a Watershed Plan is not dealt with by the draft Act and it is,
therefore, not clear whether it could be considered as a clarification of
"provincial interest" within the Authority's area of jurisdiction.
It has been pointed out by the Authority solicitors that the draft Act does not contain provis-
ion for rotification regaxdirxJ provincial policy statements and that the Minister of
Housing consider formalizing this process. It has been suggested that such
policy statements should be:
(a) published in the Ontario Gazetter
(b) referenced and held by the Ministerr
(c) lodged with the Clerk of all affected municipalities
or with the appropriate Ministry of the Crown; and
(d) forwarded directly to those agencies specifically
affected by the policy statement.
In the last instance, clarification is also required by the Authority as to the status
of oonservationauthorities as agencies which must have regard to provincial
policy statements.
2. Development Standards (Section 69)
In November 1979, the Cabinet endorsed recommendations on flood plain
management criteria prepared jointly by the Ministries of Natural Resources and
Housing. In part, these policies include that:
B-60
THE PLANNING ACT - A DRAFT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT PAGE 3
"THE CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES CONTINUE TO ADMINISTER
FILL AND CONSTRUCTION REGULATIONS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES ACT,
CONSTRUCTION REGULATIONS MADE PURSUANT TO SECTION 27(1)
(c) OF THE CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES ACT BE RESCINDED FOR
THOSE AREAS WHERE A MUNICIPALITY HAS ADOPTED OFFICIAL
PLAN POLICIES AND ZONING BY-LAWS WHICH COMPLY WITH THE
OBJECTIVES OF FLOOD PLAIN MANAGEMENT, AND ACCORD WITH THE
PROCEDURAL POLICIES ESTABLISHED BY THE CONSERVATION
AUTHORITY AND THE MINISTRIES OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND
HOUSING."
It is possible that this statement may be considered a provincial policy
statement under the draft Act. If this is the case, the provisions of
Section 69 regarding Development Standards, could be used to establish
guidelines for official plans and zoning by-laws to implement flood plain
management objectives. It would, therefore, be essential for the Authority to
be involved in the development of such planning statements to ensure their
compliance with overall watershed management objectives. If this is a possible
use of this section of the draft Act, there should be established a means of
ensuring Authority input into the formulation of development standards.
3. Official Plans (Sections l(h) and 16)
The narrowing of the purpose of an "official plan" to deal largely with
physical development requires some clarification. As pointed out in
discussing the term "provincial interest", it is not clear whether the
"environmental matters" addressed by the official plan will be specific to the
Authority's resource management responsibilities as contained in its Watershed
Plan. In particular, as pointed out in the discussion of Development
Standards, the need to clearly define policies with respect to flood plain
lands should be an important part of the official plan process and should
involve Authority input.
4. Circulation of Planning rropos"l~ ~= ~;encics (Sections l7(2)(b), 34(17) (b),
45(4) and 54(4)
The draft Act addresses the matter of notification of agencies in four
separate areas of the draft act and in different ways.
. official plans and official plan amendments -
circulation to conservation authorities is
ndiscretionary" not "Mandatory" and, therefore,
dependent upon notification by the circulating
authority.
. zoning by-laws and amendments - will remain as
at present and, therefore, circulation to
authorities is mandatory.
. minor variance - no indication in draft act as
to circulation procedure.
The procedure for circulation, in each instance, is to be established by
regulation to the Act.
The Authority, in 1977, adopted and circulated the following resolution,
that:
" (1) All area municipalities within the Authority'S juriSdiction
be requested to circulate to the Authority, Official Plan
Amendment applications and draft Amendments, implementing
zoning by-laws and rezoning by-laws, at the processing stage,
in order to include Authority interests prior to Council
approval,
(2) The Ministry of Housing or the Regional Municipality, where
the Region has been delegated the authority to approve,
circulate plans of subdivision to the Authority prior to
draft approval, in order to include conditions necessary to
protect Authority interestsr
(3) In commenting to the Regional Municipality, the area
municipality, the Ministry of Natural Resources or the Ministry
B-61
THE PLANNING ACT - A DRAFT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT PAGE 4
of HOusing, the Authority staff ensure that all the preceding
are made aware of Authority concernsr
(4) The Authority staff be directed to include in their review of
the Plan for Flood Control and Water Conservation a study of
storm water management requirements with respect to broad
performance standardsJ
(5) The Authority staff be directed to discuss with representatives
of the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of the
Environment the coordination of Ministry concerns with Authority
commentsr
(6) The Ministry of Housing be advised that Official Plans and
Official Plan Amendments currently in the approval process
should include policy statements to require that storm water
management studies be carried out prior to development in order
to assess the impact of proposals on downstream flooding and
erosion."
This resolution arose as a result of discussions between the Authority and'
its member municipalities and was subsequently endorsed by the
municipalities and has served to formalize the existing relationship between
Authority and municipal planning activities.
It would be of considerable concern if the revised Act did not enable the
Authority to continue to work closely with its member municipalities at
all stages of the planning process.
5. Waiver of Approval of Official Plan Amendments (Section 21 (1))
This section sets out the right of the Minister of Housing to waive the
requirement for approval of official plan amendments if provincial interest
is not adversely affected.
As stated earlier the status of Authn~ity pnlir.y and programs is not clear
within the discussion of "provincial interestn and, therefore, there is
some concern that the ability of the Authority to ensure its interest may
be in question.
6. Land Reserved for Public Purposes (Section 41)
The Authority, in implementing its resource management programs, may acquire
land when such land is part of a plan of subdivision. These laRds are
generally not suitable for development.
It is not clear whether the provisions of Section 41, dealing with lands
for public purposes, are intended to include the type of lands which
conservation authorities acquire. If it is the intent of the draft Act to
include such lands, the value of these lands should reflect the limited
uses which could be permitted.
7. Subdivision Control (Section 50(3)(c) and (5)(b))
The provisions of the draft Act allow for exemptions from subdivision control
and part lot control where:
-the land or any use of or right therein is being acquired
or disposed of by Her Majesty in right of Canada, Her
Majesty in right of Ontario, Ontario Hydro or by any
municipality, metropolitan municipality, regional municipality.
district municipality or county."
Since Authority land acquisition requires municipal and provincial project
approval and funding, it would appear appropriate that conservation
authorities also be exempted from the requirements of this section.
8. Plans of Subdivision (Section 52)
In commenting on Plans of Subdivision, the Authority identifies the lands
which it has determined as not suitable for development. These lands are
generally set aside for acquisition and may provide certain passive open
space opportunities to the community. Because of their nature. however.
they are usually unsuited for intensive recreation use and should not form
B-62
THE PLANNING ACT - A DRAFT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT PAGE 5
part of the dedication for park purposes.
It is not clear whether such lands could be conveyed to the Authority in
addition to the lands required for municipal park or public recreation purposes.
9. Secondary Plans
The draft Act contains no provisions specific to the preparation and approval
of Secondary Plans (or Development Plans). This level of planning is utilized
by the Authority's member municipalities to refine upon the general policy
statements of the official plan prior to the consideration of specific plans of
subdivision. This level of planning is of particular interest to the Authority
in that certain resource management concerns, such as storm water management,
can be best dealt with at this stage.
There is need for the draft Act to clarify the status of Secondary Plans and to
establish procedures for their preparation and approval.
RECOMMENDATION:
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the staff report on nThe Planning Act - a Draft for Public
Conunent", together with the comment set forth below, be received and forwarded to
the Minister of Housing for consideration:
(a) THAT, where a conservation authority has adopted and received municipal and
provincial approval for a Watershed Plan for its area of jurisdiction, the
plans and policies of the authority be considered as representing a provincial
interest in the area~
(b) THAT the Minister of Housing clarify the way in which "provincial interest" in
the planning process is to be defined and whether a provincial policy statement
must be in circulation prior to any issue being recognized as a "provincial
interest" ~
(c) THAT the Minister clarify the status of conservation authority programs and
policies within the context of the term nprovincial interest"~
(d) THAT ~Lo~lslon be made in the Act for notification regarding provincial policy
statements~
(e) THAT the Minister clarify the status of conservation authorities in connection
with the requirement to have regard for provincial policy statementsr
(f) THAT if development standards are to be established by the Minister, under
Section 69, with regard to flood plain management, conservation authorities be
directly involved and their approval required~
(g) THAT the regulations to the Act defining agency participation in the plan
review process enable the Authority to continue to work closely with its member
municipalities on the basis of its adopted programs and policies for resource
management~
(h) THAT conservation authorities be added to the group exemptions stated in
Sections 50 (3) (c) and 50(5) (b) ~
(i) THAT the Minister clarify the status of Secondary Plans and established
procedures for their preparation and approval.

One Conservation Plan has been completed to date and four remain on file.
Twenty-eight Conservation Plans have been prepared since the beginning of the
program.
Ten private tree spade rentals are on file for this spring and the Authority
tree spade will also be utilized in the landscape projects scheduled for
1980.
Site visits have been carried out for private landowners regarding pond
construction, stream improvement and the planting assistance programs. To
date, 20 site visits have been carried out as well as 5 for Authority land
farm rentals.
A stream improvement display was prepared to promote the Authority fish
habitat and sediment control projects.
Development has been proceeding with the establishment of the Conservation
Services' Workshop and the relocation of the Authority nursery.
CONSERVATION AREAS OPERATIONS
During the winter periOd, 9 Conservation Areas were in operation for rec-
reation activities. Due to the lack of snow, little activity was possible
until the middle of February. The Albion Hills and Bruce's Mill Ski Programs
operated on only four weekends from mid February to mid March under fair
snow conditions at best. School bookings had increased slightly over the
previous year but the majority were cancelled. This part of the program
did operate at capacity during the first two weeks of March.
Only Heart Lake and Cold Creek were used at levels approaching the previous
year. Ice conditions at Heart Lake were the best in many years and this
attracted considerable use. The lack of snow also resulted in above average
use of the Cold Creek Range facilities.
The low use of the Areas did peulit thl:: t:ltaff to complete more than the
usual amount of general maintenance. All Areas did considerable repair and
refinishing of picnic tables, outhouses, buildings and other equipment.
The Albion Hills Chalet interior was repainted and the tables and chairs
were refinished. The interior of the campground office has been finished, .
ready for use at the beginning of the season. The staff also completed woodlot management and have on hand firewood for the camping program as well
as a supply of cedar fence posts.
The annual delivery of 45,000 rainbow trout fry have been received at the
Glen Haffy hatchery. The Heart Lake boat docks have been rebuilt and will
provide a much improved facility for future operation.
The Cold Creek staff, during this period, have been occupied with completing
the interior of the Trap Range Control Building as well as prefabing a new
gatehouse Lor erection on site this spring. The annual supply of resale
supplies for the range operation have also been received.
At Bruce's Mill, the staff, in preparing the annual maple syrup demonstration,
have made improvements to the old fashioned and Indian method displays.
The Greenwood/Claremont staff have constructed new entrance gates for the
Claremont Areas as well as a number of gates for use within the two areas.
They have also carried out fencing repairs and other maintenance in the
Glen Major properties. The Petticoat Creek staff have completed the annual
inventories in all Conservation Areas as well as carrying out maintenance
on waterfront properties and Petticoat Creek buildings.
In preparation for the start of the canoe program at Claireville, promotional
brochures and flyers have been prepared and distrubuted to schools in the
watershed and at Canoe Ontario's display at the Sportsman's Show. An
additional 8 canoes and associated accessories have been obtained to
accommodate larger group and public use of the program.

Division staff have been involved in promotion of activities and programs.
Included in this have been radio interviews (CFRB, CHIN), lectures on pro-
gram activities to East York Parks and Recreation Department, Centennial
College Recreation Leadership Course and Peel Board of Education Physical
Education Teachers Course.
The fOllowing table compares Conservation Area attendance during this period
with the previous year. Attendance has decreased 46,295 or 51.2'.

FINANCIAL COMMENTS
As a result of exceptional poor winter conditions, Conservation Area revenue
is substantially below the anticipated level. Expenditures during this period
are also lower than anticipated due to seasonal staff not being employed for
the planned time period. Through careful expenditure control and with
reasonably normal manner activity both expenditures and revenues will be
within budget forecasts.
In the Conservation Services programs, only 11' of the private landowner
assistance programs budget has been spent to date and programs are now under-
way. As programs are completed, revenue estimates will be met.

COLONEL SAMUEL BOIS SMITH PARK
The Hearing before the Environmental Assessment Board was scheduled to
commence on Tuesday, April 15, 1980. Authority staff held lengthy
meetings with the lawyers and consultants in preparation for this
date and prepared documentation, maps and figures for presentation.
HUMBER BAY WEST
Provincial approval has been received for the design of site servicing,
roads and parking, landscaping, launching ramp relocation, and Mimico
Creek channelization by Johnson Sustronk Weinstein & Associates.
Detailed design for site servicing is underway for tendering by the end
of April.
Authority staff have undertaken rip rapping on the interior shoreline.
This shoreline protection is now almost complete.
HUMBER BAY EAST
The Land Management Division will be doing all remaining planting as
soon as weather permits to a total budget of $75,000. The remaining
topsoiling and turf establishment will be undertaken by Waterfront
staff.
The pond is now operational. The pumping station is being checked by
Metro Parks, JSW and the Authority.
M. A. Butt Construction's work as set out in Structures Contract is
approximately 95' complete.
The roads and parking contract went to tender on March 11, 1980, and
Provincial approval has been requested to award the Paving Contract to
Graham Brothers Construction Limited, the lowest tenderer.
It may be possible to arrange an official opening in conjunction with
the tournament to be hosted by the Toronto Anglers & Hunters Association
in August 1980. An official opening committee has been formed to
finalize the arrangements.
WESTERN BEACHES
Stafford-Haensli has submitted a draft final ~eport and detailed site
plans for final comment by the Authority. A property survey has been

BLUFFERS, PHASE II
The winter fill operation has completed the easterly end of the island
and is presently creating land around the perimeter of the future dry
sailing area. Future land filling is dependant on dredging in the
northwesterly corner of the basin. The Toronto Harbour Commissioners
are finalizing a scheme to dewater the area to allow for grading of
the area in the dry. Landfi1ling along the breakwater to Point 8 will
commence as soon as weather permits. Armouring of Point 8 may be
undertaken by the Federal government, although no firm commitment has
been made. A letter has been sent to Scarborough M.P.'s asking them
to secure the funding necessary to complete this project.
The Cathedral Bluffs Yacht Club plans to construct approximately 800
feet of steel sheet piling along the northeast side of the island. The
Authority has approved a contribution of $30 per linear foot in lieu
of rip rapping. Provincial approval has been requested.
The Toronto Harbour Commissioners have prepared a design for entrance
improvements to the launching ramp basin.
The Boating Federation is to finalize plans for the division of the
island between the member boat clubs as soon as possible.
AQUATIC PARK
The Authority's involvement in Aquatic Park in regard to the Resolution
of Main Issues has been forwarded to Metro and the Province for
consideration. It appears that the proposal is supp6rted by Metro but
there may be some delay in Provincial approval.
EAST POINT
Final plan and report have been presented by Hough Stansbury for review
and comment by the Authority. Authority staff comments have been made and
a final draft is expected in the near future.
ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
.
A draft report for the 1979 Program has been submitted by Proctor and
Redfern for review. Preliminary fisheries work in the embayments at
Bluffers suggests that a more comprehensive study should be carried out,
including contaminant studies. MNR and MOE will be approached to see
if they are willing to finance a chemical analysis.

ASHBRIDGE'S BAY
Designs are being finalized for the extension of sanitary sewers, the
watermain and hydro service for the Hydroplane Club.
AJAX WATERFRONT
The master agreement for transfer of lands to Ajax has been finalized.
The Authority will endeavour to grade and establish vegetation suitable
for maintenance and then transfer areas to the municipality.
SHORELINE MANAGEMENT
Construction at Eastern Beaches was completed on February 26, except
for restoration of the access road.
The armour stone revetment at Crescentwood Road appears to have survived
the winter well. Plans are being prepared for extension of the
Crescentwood revetment across to Harding Boulevard. Property surveys
have been completed and a draft agreement has been finalized for
discussion with local re~idents. Meetings were held to discuss the
plans with affected property owners.

Table 1. The density of cases per 100 square miles is shown in Fig. 2.
The monthly distribution of rabies for the province appears in Fig. 3.
In 1979 there was a 10% increase in the wildlife rabies cases. This
was a result of the increased fox rabies in southeastern Ontario and the
extensive skunk rabies throughout the province. Skunk movement. as indicated
by radio-tracking studies, was greatly influenced by the mild open winter
conditions of 1I0vember-December. 1979. and January. 1980 (Fig. 4).
The most active rabies area in Ontario during 1979 was centered in
^
Grenville county. where a density of 20.3 cases q. mile was reported. This
is the highest density reported anywhere in Ontario since the initial
epizootics of 1957. 58 and 59. This high density was the result of an out-
break in foxes which was contiguous with outbreaks that began in Carleton.
Lanark and Leeds Counties during 1973. This same focus spread north through
Renfrew County along the Ottawa River and up the 11adawaska Valley to the
.
.
- 2 - B-130
borders of Algonquin Park. This epizootic may move into Algonquin Park
in 1980.
Two interesting cases were associated with the high intensity of
rabies during the past two years in southeastern Ontario.
At 0430 r~y 31, 1979, two fishermen were attacked and bitten by
a rabid black bear near Madoc, while asleep in tneir tent. The animal was
aggressive and also attacked a passing car before being shot by the O.P.P.
in the basement of an unfinished house about 2 km away. A cooperative
effort by all personnel from mUIR, or"IH, OPP and Agriculture Canada made it
possible to diagnose the specimen and treat the fishermen the same day as
the biting incident occurred.
This is the 10th rabid bear reported in Canada and the 5th record
for Ontario. More importantly it is the first case of a rabid bear
attacking humans in Ontario.
In relation to bear attacks, it should bt emphasized again that no
cause was ever established for the bear attack in Algonquin Park which . .
resulted in the death of 3 youths in 1978. That bear was not rabid.
In addition to the usual problems of nuisance bears, it is now
apparent that attacks by rabid bears on campers and tourists are possible.
Rabies was reported close to Algonquin Park during 1979. Therefore there
is a potential for rabies in larger mammals such as bear, wolf, deer and
moose this coming year.
In Lennox-Addington County on May 7th, a fox was shot while attacking
a domestic rabbit in a chicken coop. The fox was sent in for diagnosis and
found to be positive for rabies. The pet rabbit was then quarantined and
after 3 weeks became lethargic and stopped eating. On ~~y 31st, 24 days
after being attacked by the rabid fox, the rabbit died of rabies.
Another important case,the first rabid weasel in Ontario, was reported
on June 12, 1979, from Southampton. The weasel was brought in by a pet cat.
The owner, unsure of whether the cat had been bitten, sent the weasel to
.
- 3 -
B-l31
the Health of Animals Branch in Walkerton. The weasel was positive for
rabies and the cat was quarantined for 90 days. The cat, previously
vaccinated for rabies (Nov.1978), did not become rabid.
To date in Ontario rabies has been diagnosed in the following
wildlife species:
Red fox Vulpes vulpes
Arctic fox Alooex laqopus
Striped Skunk f1ephitis mephitis
Coyote Canis latrans
Timber wolf Canis lupus
Raccoon Procyon lotor
Big Brol,," Bat Eptesicus fuscus
Eastern Long-eared bat Hyotis kee~
Little Brown Bat ~yot' s_ 1 uci fugus
Hoary Bat asiurus cinereus
Red Bat lasiiJriiS borea 1 is
Silver-Haired Bat lasionycteris noctivagans
E;lstern Pipistrelle Pipistrellus subflavus
Groundhog Marmota monax
"uskrat Ondatra zibethica
Black Bear Ursus ameri canus_
White-tailed Deer Odocoileus virainianus
Ri<;nr Rison bison
Fisher Marte-s pennanti_
Black Squirrel Sciuris carolinensis
Weasel r'lustela sp.?
Other species which occur in Ontario have been found rabid elsewhere
in North ~nerica. Rabies should be suspected in these species if unusual
behaviour is encountered. These species include:
~loose Alces alces
Caribou .B.angifer tarandus
Polar Bear Thalarctos maritimus
Grey Fox Urocvon cinereoarQenteus
Porcupine Erethizon dorsatum
Beaver ~ canadensis
It should also be noted that no rabies has been reported in any
of the 3 lagomorphs which occur in Ontario:
Cottonta il Sylvilagus floridanus
Snol"lshoe Hare Lepus americanus
European Hare Lepus europaeus;
nor have there been any cases diagnosed in small rodents such as mice,
rats and chipmunks.
However, rabies should always be considered when dealing with any
wild species exhibiting unusual or aggressive behaviour.

RABiES . _. . - ; LA RAGE
... -..
Rabies (La Rage) is a virus disease normally transmitted
in the bite of mammals. Any mammal is susceptible to rabies
although some are more susceptible than others. In Ontario,
,
red fox and striped skunk are the most commonly infected .
wildlife which spread the disease to dome~tic animals and;
man (see Table l). Vertebrates such as birds, reptiles,
amphibians, and fish are ~ normally infected in the wild.
Transmission and Symptoms.
In Ontario, the annual peak of rabies activity is in the
fall and winter with less transmission during the summer. In
the spring humans are often exposed to rabies when they catch
young wild animals such as foxes or raccoons and take them home
for pets. Although rabies may be present at any time or place
in the province, it is primarily endemic in southern Ontario.
Periodic cycles with peaks every 3 to 4 years correspond to
high fox populations. .. .
In attempting to control rabies in wildlife in Ontario
the OMNR in cooperation with other provincial ministries and
Conn aught Laboratories Ltd. is developing an oral rabies vaccine.
It will be incorporated into a bait for vaccinating foxes,
skunks, etc. in the wild. Aircraft will deliver the bait to
remote areas. It is hoped that this method will result in
reduction of rabies in wildlife.
There are 2 distinct periods in the development of rabies
following the entry of virus through the bite wound. These are
the incubation period and the symptomatic period. During the
incubation period, which varies from 2 weeks to 1 year, the
virus multiplies in the area of the bite. wound and moves to
the brain.
The symptomatic period usually lasts 3-5 days during
.
'B-.1.39
which abnormal behaviour and biting occur. The animal's
saliva is considered to be infective only a few days prior
to, and during, the symptomatic period. ,
At the end of this
period the animal succumbs to convulsions and paralytic
seizures.
Rabies should be suspected in any mammal displaying
abnormal behaviour such as loss of fear of man or normal
animal enemies, aggression, attacks and biting, eating non-food
items such as soil, stones, sticks, faeces, loss of balance,
convulsions and paralysis. In domestic pets a change in
temperament or normal habits may be an early sign of rabies.
Red fox lose fear of man and other animals and may attack
without provocation. They are attracted to strong scents such
as mammal faeces and farm manure. The presence of porcupine
quills in the muzzle or skunk scent on the fur are certain
indicators of rabies in red fox.
Skunks, like foxes, usually try to avoid man and other
animals but when rabid may be unafraid, bite without provocation,
.
and often do not spray their scent. Skunks wandering about
aimlessly during the daytime should be suspected although
--
uninfected skunks may also be seen during daylight in the mating
season of late winter and early spring.
The big brown bat is the most important of 5 species of
Ontario bats from which the rabies virus has been isolated.
Suspect bats may be found flying in daylight or fluttering
on the ground where their squeaks attract domestic pets and
other animals which can be bitten on the lip or muzzle. Aerosol
transmission of rabies is known to occur in bat caves in the
United States but has not been reported in Ontario.
Raccoons are not as commonly infected with rabies as .
foxes or skunks in Ontario, and are more often infected with
[9]
.
B-140
canine distemper virus than with rabies virus. Raccoons
with eitner disease are frequently found wandering aimlessly
or sitting inactive in the open and may be aggressive when
approached. Therefore, a sick raccoon should be considered
:
rabid until proven otherwise by lab diagnosis.
Rabid timber wolves and coyotes display symptoms sim~lar
to foxes and because of their size can be extremely dangerous.
Handling of Rabies Suspect Cases
Extreme caution is imperative when handling any mammal
suspected of being rabid. They can be aggressive and bite
even when apparently paralysed. Species such as woodchuck
and muskrat which are not usually considered aggressive can
also attack when rabid and inflict dangerous wounds.
Suspected rabid wildlife should be shot in order to limit
further spread of rabies and to obtain a specimen for diagnosis
in cases where humans and domestic animals have been exposed.
If feasible, the animal should be shot in the chest so that the
head is available for microscopic diagnosis.
.
Gloves or similar protection should be worn when handling
suspected rabid carcasses to avoid contact between the
animal and your skin, eyes, nose, and mouth. The specimen
should be placed in a double plastic bag of heavy thickness and
. then in a metal container such as a pail or garbage can. It
should be kept cool either by refrigeration or freezing and
isolated from children and household pets until submitted.
The area and materials contaminated by the carcass should be
decontaminated by washing with a disinfectant such as household
bleach or by incineration.
Specimens suspected of being rabid should be submitted
immediately to the Health of Animals Branch,.Canada Department
of Agriculture for diagnosis. In addition to information

requested under "Submission of Specimens", the names, addresses
and particularly phone numbers of any persons or domestic
animals exposed to the rabies suspect animal should be submitted.
Pre- and post-exposure Medical Treatment
In addition to bites the following forms of exposure: to
potentially rabid animals warrant medical attention: licks or
. I
saliva contact with skin, eyes, nose, lips, cuts or scratches.
Since elimination of rabies virus at the site of infection
by chemical or physical means is the most effective mechanism
of protection, immediately wash and flush with soap and water,
detergent, or water alone. After washing, apply either 40-70\
alcohol, tincture or aqueous solutions of iodine, or 0.1%
quaternary ammonium compounds.
Immediately following first-aid treatment the patient
should contact a physician or a hospital emergency ward. Rabies
vaccine and antiserum will be administered as required. Expert
consultation on human rabies exposure can be obtained by
physicians from the ontario Ministry of Health, Toronto, Canada.
.
Pre-exposure vaccination is available for high-risk personnel
.
such as conservation officers, resource and animal care technicians,
trappers, spelunkers, veterinarians, and wildlife biologists.
New safe vaccines are available which will provide initial
protection should a subsequent exposure occur. Information
on pre-exposure procedure is available through the Rabies Unit,
Wildlife Research section, wildlife Branch, Ministry of Natural
Resources, Maple, Ontario or the Epidemiology Section, Ministry
of IIealth, Toronto, Ontario.
Vaccination of pets is important since they may contact
a rabid animal when out of sight of the owner and later become
- _ rabid in the home. . It.is .imperative that hunting dogs be .... . . --
vaccinated. Vaccinations should be repeated as directed by the
veterinarian.

25. VICTORIAN WAY LANDS
-Humber River - Borough of Etobicoke
A staff communication was presented advising that in November, 1979, the
following resolution was received from the Council of the Borough of
Etobicoke concerning the above:
"THAT the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
be requested to include all of these lands in its "Master Plan
for Acquisition", and that they take the necessary steps to obtain
these lands as part of the Metropolitan open space system, and
further, that the Minicipality of Metropolitan Toronto be advised
of the Borough's position and that they be requested to support
this position as it conforms to the Metropolitan Toronto Valley-
land policy."
The Victorian Way lands are located just to the north of the confluence of
the Main and West Branches of the Humber River, in the vicinity of Albion
Road.
Comment has been delayed on this matter as the hydrology and flood damage
centre studies for the Humber River had not been finalized, and the Land
Acquisition Programme was still in the process of being drafted.
As a result of the completion of these studies and draft programmes, the
Victorian Way lands would generally be classed as flood plain hazard land
governed by the intent, pOlicies and criteria identified in the proposed
Land Acquisition Programme.

SCHEDULE "C"
To: The Chairman and Members of the Executive Committee Meeting #9/80
From: Mr. R. K. Cooper, Administrator, Historical Sites Division, and
Mr. T. E. Barber, Administrator, Information & Education Division
Re: Museum Grants
The Ministry of Culture and Recreation has recently engaged in an extensive
review of the Ministry's museum pOlicy. Proposed changes will affect
future grants for both the Kortright Centre and Black Creek Pioneer Village.
Last year Kortright received $33,l13. and Black Creek $72,000.
To ensure that the entire museum community has an opportunity to offer
suggestions and comments on the proposed changes, Ministry officials are
holding a series of public meetings across the Province. The meeting for
the Toronto area will be held at Queen's Park on June l6th at 9.30 a.m.
The Ministry has issued four documents:
(a) Discussion paper on policy.
(b) Proposed guidelines for new museums.
(c) Interpretation of Museum Grant Regulations.
(d) Discussion paper for allocation of funds for cultural and
recreational facilities under Wintario.
A copy of the documents is attached.
The proposed policy raises three major points and some minor points which
could affect Authority funding from the Ministry of Culture and Recreation.
(l) Eligibility
The paper entitled "Museum Grant Regulation Interpretation" has con-
siderably changed the definition of a museum.
Section I (l) states as follows:
"museum" means an institution that:
(1) is established for the purpose of acquiring, conserving,
studying, interpreting, assembling and exhibiting to
the public for its instruction and enjoyment a collect-
ion of objects and specimens of heritage significance.
The interpretation of a museum under the present Ontario Regulation
709/75 is as follows:
"museum" means an institution that:
(i) is established for the purpose of conserving, studying,
interpreting, assembling and exhibiting to the public
for its instruction and enjoyment objects and specimens
of educational and cultural value including historical,
technological, anthropological or scientific material.
The definition under Ontario Regulation 709/75 more adequately describes
a museum.
Recommendation I
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the Ministry of Culture and Recreation continue to
define a museum as in Ontario RegUlation 709/75.
(2) Governing Body
Part 2 under "Museum Grant Regulation Interpretation" states as follows:
"To be eligible to receive a museum grant, all applicants shall:
(a) appoint a governing body, either a committee or Board,
charged solely with the government of the museum, the
initiation and execution of pOlicy, and the establish-
ment and execution of annual budgets for the museum
within the framework of the applicant's organization.
In the case of a municipal board or committee, the
appointing by-law must be in accordance with The
Municipal Act.
B-193
- 2 -
This section does not take into consideration the position of Conservation
Authorities which have museums and which must operate under the Conservat-
ion Authorities Act.
Recommendation 2
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT section 2 of the "Museum Grant Regulation Interpret-
ation" be amended as follows:
"2. To be eligible to receive a museum grant, all applicants, with
the exception of Conservation Authorities, shall:
(a) appoint a governing body, either a committee or Board,
charged solely with the government of the museum, the
initiation and execution of policy, and the establish-
ment and execution of annual budgets for the museum
within the framework of the applicant's organization.
In the case of a municipal board or committee, the
appointing by-law must be in accordance with the
Municipal Act.
Conservation Authorities shall appoint an Advisory Board,
charged with recommending to the Executive of the Auth-
ority, the initiation and execution of policy and the
establishment and execution of annual budgets for its
museums."
IT IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED THAT the necessary changes be made in sections
2 (b) (i) and 2 (b) (il) to conform with the Conservation Authorities Act.
3. Operating Grants
At the present time museums receiving operating grants from the Heritage
Conservation Division of the Ministry can get up to a maximum of $72,000.
Such Ministerial institutions as the R.O.M., Ste. Marie-Among-The-Hurons,
the Ontario Science Centre receive very sizable grants under various
different programs. Black Creek is the only museum in the Province receiv-
ing the maximum grant of $72,000. from the Heritage Conservation Division's
Community Museum Grant Program. The existing grant formula is based on
revenue a~n ~h~ length of ~i~~ the museum is open to the public. Because
of certain formula ;O;nl:'yn':'>:'?!?ios some museums have received more than 100'
of their revenue in grants, while others have received as low as 2' of their
revenue.
In 1980 the grant will still be based on revenue, but no museum will receive
a grant of more than 50' of its revenue and all grants from Wintario,
Experience, Ontario Heritage Foundat~on, federal grants and major capital
costs will be subtracted before determining eligible operating revenue. No
museum will receive in grants more than 100' of expenditures.
Next year it is proposed that grants will be based on expenditures rather
than revenue and that the maximum grant would not exceed 50% of expendit-
ures, and in the following years not more than 45'.
Art Galleries are at present being funded through another Division of the
Ministry and are receiving grants which do not exceed 20% of expenditures.
There is an indication that the Museum formula may, within a few years,
parallel the Art Gallery formula.
It is obvious that the new operating grant formula will gradually reduce
the $1,840,000. which the Ministry is now granting, and at the same time
equalize the percentage which each museum will receive.
It is proposed to use the excess money to fund a new discretionary grant
program. The detail concerning the formula and criteria for this new
discretionary grant is not given and it is impossible at this stage to
judge its impact on Kortright and Black Creek.
The gradual equalization of operating grants at a level of approximately
20' of expenditures appeared to be a commendable and fair way to treat
each and every museum in the Province. There is one exception, and that is
Black Creek Pioneer Village which is the only museum receiving the maximum
grant of $72,000, or approximately 7% of its expenditures. If the grant
structure is to be equitable, then the ceiling of $72,000. should be raised
to allow Black Creek to receive the same grant percentage (20%) as all other
museums in Ontario. There appears to be little or no justification for
Ontario tax dollars to be subsidizing all museums in the Province to 20' of
expenditures and at the same time subsidizing Black Creek by only 7%.
B-194
- 3 -
There is also little or no justification for starting a new discretionary
program until the present operating grant program is equitable for all
museums in the Province.
Recommendation 3
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the Ministry of Culture and Recreation be requested
to use surplus funds from the equalization of museum operating grants to
bring the grants on the low end of the scale up to the equalization per-
centage.
IT IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED to the Ministry that the ceiling on operating
grants be raised so that all museums can receive the equalized percentage.
IT IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED to the Ministry that unless it can obtain addit-
ional grant funding, it not begin a discretionary grant program until it
has equitably funded the operating grant.
4. Revenue Producing Operations
The Mini~try states that in 1981 the operating grant formula will be
based on expenditures. However, there is no detail as to what expenditures
will be allowable. Surely gross expenditures from food services, sales
outlets and other revenue producing operations will not be included in the
formula.
Since the net revenue from these sources reduces the amount of tax dollars
necessary to operate a museum, it is clear that museums should be encouraged
through an appropriate grant structure to ge~erate as much money as possible.
Recommendation 4
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the new museum operating grant formula encourage
museums to generate as much revenue as possible from food services, sales
outlets and other revenue producing operations,
AND FURTHER THAT details of the proposed discretionary grant formula be
circulated to all museums for comment before being finalized by the
Ministry.

Meeting i2/80 Wednesday-June-18-l980
FROM: Mr. W.A. McLean, Director, Planning and pOlicy
RE: ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT DIVISIONS
At Meeting i18/79 of the Executive Committee Report i5/79 of the Management
Review Sub-Committee was adopted. The report included the following direction:
"THAT the Secretary-Treasurer be requested to prepare a report
and recommendations, for consideration by the Personnel Sub-
Committee on the staff organizational structure of the Authority,
including the strengthening of the Personnel Management function
of the Authority."
In a subsequent report to the Executive committee, the Secretary-Treasurer
outlined the tasks which would be undertaken as a part of the study and a
timetable for completing the work. (Executive Meeting #5/80, Resolution .122).
The Finance, Administration and Property functions were examined early in 1980
and revisions in structure and organization made at Executive Meetings i2l/79
and #7/80.
The purpose of this report is to examine and recommend a structural framework
within which the management activities required to produce the resource
management work set out in the Watershed Plan, can best be performed.
There are two basic components which have to be fitted together in the
structural framework.
(i) the management functions which have to be performed~
(ii) the work packages which are defined by the programs
which make up the Watershed Plan.
(i) Management Functions
The role of management in producing the program results set out in the Watershed
Plan is to assemble the resources required to carry out the work and allocate
them to effectively achieve results. The resources which must be assembled
include, funding, required approvals, political and community support,
technology, materials and equipment, staff, administrative systems, and agency
and intergovernmental relations.
There are four levels of management required to assemble and allocate these
resources:
Executive Management
Program Management
Activity Management
Work Supervision.
The relative roles of these levels are illustrated in Chart II as follows.
The Chart deals only with management functions. There are, within the Authority,
many positions of a professional and scientific nature which are not management
positions but which musb be accommodated in any consideration given to
appropriate levels of remuneration for such positions. A study dealing with
remuneration mu~t take this into consideration.

ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT DIVISIONS PAGE 2
(ii) Programs
At the present time the work of the Authority is carried out by five Divisions:
Finance and Administration, Conservation Land Management, Water Resource,
Information and Education and Historical Sites. At the present time there
is a considerable amount of overlapping among Divisions in the accountability
for budget spending. Chart #2 illustrates the relative share of the Authority
budget for which each Division is responsible.
The Watershed Plan defines the Authority's work in 10 programs and for budget
purposes, these 10 programs will become the defined work packages to which the
management functions apply. Chart #3 has been prepared to illustrate the
relationship between the programs or work packages and management functions.
The cost estimates which are set out in the Watershed Plan are included in the
chart to illustrate the relative magnitudes of dollar responsibilities which
each program entails. These figures are also grouped to show a total by
Division. It is the intention, through the management system and the budget
organization, to reduce the overlapping of budget accountability and confine
it to management personnel responsible for a given program or activity within
that program. As much as possible the program components that are set out in
the Watershed Plan are used as the work packages for which a manager would be
responsible and accountable. In addition to the management benefits of this
approach, reporting to the Executive Committee will be facilitated.
This report deals with resource management programs. The activities which
fall within the Administration Program will be dealt with in a similar manner.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT DIVISIONS PAGE 3
ISSUES
1. Development Control & Regulation Administration
The relationship of management functions to the program implementation chart
represents the present management structure, as it would apply to the Watershed
Plan programs, with one exception. The Development Control function, which is
presently directly responsible to the Director of Planning and POlicy, is shown
as a part of the Water Resource Division responsibility, under Prevention and
Storm Water Management. Development Control and Regulation Administration is
such an intregal part of-the Water Resource programs that this change in
organization is considered essential.
2. Coordination of Resource Service Programs
The Watershed Plan programs break down into two major categories: Resource
Management and Resource Service. The Resource Management Programs are all
contained within the Water Resource Division.
,Resource Management Resource Service
Flood Control Conservation Land Management
Erosion and Sedimentation Watershed Recreation
Storm Water Management Community Relations
Shoreline Management Heritage Conservation
Land Acquisition
Waterfront Development
Each of the Resource Service Programs has an identifiable expertise and
relationship to advisory boards which is required to carry ou~ the program.
The technology and objectives associated with the Heritage Conservation Program
are easily distinguishable from Community Relations and Watershed Recreation.
At the same time, there are many activities in these programs which require
the same skills and should not be competative among the programs.
. visitor program development
. marketing
. conservation education.
Within the management function framework the accountability for these activities
is at the Activity Management Level. The structure should provide for these
activities to be coordinated at this level among the Divisions on an on-going
basis through an Interdivisional Program Committee.
In this. same category are:
. food service and sales
. security
. reservations.
While these activities require administrative coordination, the requirements
of each program are very different. The accountability for these services
should lie with the Division responsible for the program. The techniques for
ensuring administrative coordination require further study.
3. Planning
The Director of Planning and Policy is responsible for the Authority's planning
activities. There are two levels of planning. Goals planning, including
coordination of Authority responses to programs and policies of other agencies.
The Director, assisted by the Research Planner, are directly responsible and
accountable for this.
Secondly, all of the programs include a planning activity requirement. This
includes, program development, master planning, and environmental assessment.
In the present structure, planning capability is available in the Water Resource
and Conservation Land Management Divisions. The Information and Education and
Historical Sites Divisions draw on the planning capability of the other
Divisions or use consultants.
The principle of having planning capability as an intregal part of program
delivery, as opposed to a separate service function, is important. It
concentrates planning efforts on the specific programs and keeps them relevant.
It has the defici.ency of unequal in-house planning capability.
B-220
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT DIVISIONS PAGE 4
A function of the Planning and Policy Committee has been to coordinate and
allocate planning capability among Divisions.
In the management function- framework accountability for the technical component
of planning is at the Activity Management Level.
There is sufficient merit in the present approach to planning activities to
warrant its continuance. The Planning and Policy Committee, at the present
time, is made up of the Director of Planning and Policy and the Administrators
of the Water Resource, Information and Education, Historical Sites and
Conservation Land Management Divisions. Effective coordination of planning
activities and the allocation of planning capability among Divisions will be
facilitated if the function of this Committee is altered to concentrate on
inter-divisional planning and if the membership includes the planning staff,
with the Division Administrators in an exofficio capacity. The Committee would
be renamed the Planning Committee.
4. Organization of Functions
The b~sic organization of the Authority, taking into account the changes
already made in the Finance and Administration Division, would have three major
components:
. Finance and Administration
. Resource Management
. Resource Service.
Chart .4 illustrates the basic organization.
A consultant study of the principles by which the Authority remunerates all of
its staff is being recommended as a part of the Management Study Review.
It is important that this study be undertaken in the context of the programs
.which now form a part of the Watershed Plan, the management functions which
'are required to carry out the programs, and with an appreciation of the
organizational issues which must be resol.~~.
This report and basic organization should be considered as the context for the
remuneration study.
RECOMMENDATION:
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the report on the Organizational Structure - Resource
Management Divisions be received and the principles of organization adopted.

Meeting #3/80 Monday-June-23-1980
FROM: Mr. W.A. McLean, Director of Planning and POlicy
RE: PREPARA'l'ION OF 'l'HE ,1981 BUDGET
It is proposed that the preparation of the 1981 Budget reflect three major
concepts:
1. the proposals of the Watershed Plan,
2. the identification of decision units, and
3. the assignment of staff accountability.
The Watershed Plan, currently in circulation for comment, will guide the
Authority's work over the next several years and will be implemented by projects
adopted to commence in 1982. 1981, while being the last year of existing
project approvals, can provide an excellent opportunity, through the budget
preparation process, for the Authority to formulate an appropriate budget format
for P~an implementation.
Programs have, therefore, been broken down into decision units in order to
utilize the technique of zero-base budgetting. A decision unit is a tangible
activity or group of activities for which a single manager has the responsibility
for successful performance. Within each decision unit there may be a number of
decision packages. Each decision package represents one way of performing an
activity, ie. a level of service within the decision unit. Decision packages
can be priori zed within a decision unit and, at a subsequent stage, can be
priorized, or ranked, in conjunction with all other decision packages in the
total budget. There is, of course, a minimum level of servic~ within each
decision unit which must be provjded for if the activity described by the unit
is to continue as a part of the Authority's work, ie. that level of effort
which, if reduced, would necessitate discontinuance of the activity.
Once the programs of the Watershed Plan have been divided into decision units,
each unit can be identified as the management responsibility of a specific staff
person. No decision unit would be the responsibility of staff below the
superintendent/supervisor level. This identification of responsibility
establishes management accountability for performance of the decision unit and
is another component of the successful application of a zero-base budgetting
technique.
The attached chart illustrates the proposed decis~on units for use in the
preparation of the 1981 budget.
In reviewing and ranking decision packages both wlthin each decision unit and
amongst all decision units, the priorities of the Authority for the 1981 budget
must recognize a number of objectives. .
The Authority's first priority must be to ensure that those commitments made
for the projects adopted and ending in 1981 can be met. Both the commitments
in The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Waterfront Project 1977-1981 and The
Interim Water and Related Land Management Project 1979-1981 must take priority
over any new or expanded proposals evolving from the Watershed Plan.
The second priority of the 1981 Budget, however, should be ~o reflect the
program components proposed by the Watershed Plan, in particular, the enrichment
of certain activities as well as the introduction of new initiatives such as
storm water management.
Within each decision unit, the ranking of decision packages will be based on
the principles established as part of the preparation of the 1980 budget as
follows:
1) Administration and operation costs required to operate the
componen t:
2) Studies and design required to implement scheduled works or
activi~y:
3) Land Acquisition - commitments
- required for scheduled works
- flood plain and valley
- headwaters;
B-224
PREPARATION OF THE 1981 DUDG~T PAGE 2
4) Scheduled works or activity;
5) Studies and design required to complete program or project
preparation~
6) Completion of long term base studies~
7) Continuing long term base studies;
8) Initiating long term base studies.
The first draft of the budget is to be prepared by each Division during July
and August for consideration by the appropriate Advisory Boards in September.
.
RECOMMENDATION:
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the 1981 Budget be prepared on the basis of the goals
and objectives set out in the Watershed Plan and that the budget format be .
based,on the decision units which make up the programs contained in the Watershed
Plan; and
FURTHER THAT the principles of zero-base budgetting be applied to the budget
preparation.

(a) Registration and Artifacts
During the second quarter of 1980, the Registration Department access-
ioned a total of three hundred and thirty-nine items from twenty-seven donors.
Notable among these donations were a walnut hanging cradle, circa 1860, an
early Canadian walking wheel, two settle beds, a hide covered sea chest, a
beautiful firescreen, thirteen clocks, several chairs and some fine china.
With the assistance of the Ministry of Culture and Recreation's
Experience 0701, the Authority has hired two students for the summer to
assist with the various functions of this Department.

Several items from the Black Creek collection have been rented for
commercial purposes. Also, some items were loaned to the Welsh pavilion
during Caravan. The parlour furnishings in the Borough of York Historical
Room have recently been returned and replaced with a nineteenth century
kitchen display.
Once again, Black Creek has been a popular location for commercial
photography. The Village provided the background for two different record
covers, a furniture advertisement, an Imperial Bank of Commerce commercial
with Anne Murray, a slide promotion for Seneca College, and for a C.B.C.
documentary on the history of the Chinese in Canada. Village revenue from
this source of income amounted to $5,355. as of June 30th.
Village staff have spoken to several groups, including the Whitby
Historical Society, the senior club at the Parkdale branch of the Metropolitan
Library, and a group at St. Thomas a Becket Church in Mississauga.
A paper, "Formulating a Collection Policy", presented by Mrs. O'Byrne
at the Ontario Museum Association Conference in 1979, is being printed in
EngliSh and French as part of the curriculum reading for the museum techno-
logy course at Algonquin College in Ottawa. Staff has been interviewed three
times on the John Bradshaw show on C.F.R.B.
(c) Special Events
Seventeen weddings and seventeen receptions and banquets have been held
at Black Creek during April, May and June.
Bishop Allan Read, Suffragan Bishop of Toronto, led the seventh annual
Rogationtide Service which proved successful, in spite of the inclement
weather. Bishop Read is the new Honorary Reeve of Black Creek Pioneer Village.
The Antique Car Club Rally was once again held at the Village.

RE: Progress Report
April 1 to June 30, 1980
CONSERVATION AREA DEVELOPMENT
Following the preparation of the Watershed Plan in the first quarter of 1980,
the second quarter of the year has been utilized to finalize technical plans
for the scheduled Conservation Area Development items. Approval was received
from the Province of Ontario for the Landscape Plan for the Cold Creek Con-
servation Area. This work is currently underway with final plantings scheduled
for the fall.
Plans have been completed for the water and electrical servicing for the Indian
Line Campground and are currently being reviewed by the Ministry of Natural
Resources. As well, final plans have been completed for the washroom addition
at Bruce's Mill. Following tests required for the septic system they will be
submitted for Ministry approval. The servicing of the Campground will be
carried out during September and October in part by Authority staff. The
Bruce's Mill washroom addition will also be carried out during the fall.
During the spring, a number of projects were carried out. An extension was
added to the Claireville boat compound to enable the rental of all the canoes
and row boats situated in the Claireville Area. The compound also now surrounds
the portable building which houses the program equipment helping to ensure
lower maintenance costs.
Adult bass were stocked in the Claireville reservoir prior to spring spawning.
This is the first of a three y~ar program designed to re-establish a high
quality bass fishery.
Water servicing was extended to 16 existing campsites in the Indian Line Camp-
ground in June. This will provide better utilization of these campsites.
Five large beds were planted near the Beach at the Claireville Area. These beds
planted with 2,000 shrubs, 65 trees, will greatly enhance the area in future
years providing shade and shelter from the wind. In 1979, the lack of shade
was often mentioned as a deterrent to the enjoyment of visitors to the
Claireville Area. These beds are b~ing maintained throughout 1980.
The Glen Haffy fish rearing program has continued to operate successfully.
Three hundred Rainbow trout were stocked in the Duffin Creek for the Ajax Day ,
held at Greenwood Conservation. Five thousand Rainbow trout were also stocked
at the Heart Lake Conservation Area to improve fishing in that area.
CONSERVATION SERVICES
Authority Land ~mnagement Programs
Scout groups from Humber-Seneca, York Summit, t~ssissauga and Ajax planted
40,000 reforestation seedlings at Boyd and Glen !~jor. Eighty thousand seedling
trees were also planted at Glen Haffy, Cold Creek, Humber Trails, Boyd and
Claireville Conservation Areas as well as the !'Cl.lgrave Forest and Wildlife Area.
Two thousand reforestation_trees have been planted at the Greenwood Conservation
Area by the residents of the Town of Ajax.
Woodlot management programs have been carried out at Boyd, Heart Lake, Claireville
and Glen Haffy Conservation Areas as well as plantation management at the
Gibson Lake Area. Approximately 170 cubic meters of firewood have been pro-
duced along with 90 cubic meters of pulpwood. This program covered approximately
184 hectares of Authority woodlots.

Landscape projects have been carried out at the South Thackeray Sanitary Land-
fill Site ("600 shrubs, 140 B&B trees and 100 B.R. trees) and a tree maintenance
and site monitoring project is presently underway. The Humber Bay East land-
scape project has been completed (345 B&B trees and 350 shrubs) and is
undergoing a tree maintenance project. Landscape projects were also carried
out at the C1airevi1le Cons. Area, (2,000 shrubs, 15 B&B trees and 60 B.R.
trees) and the Kortright Centre. Planting plans have been developed for the
Bluffer's Park landscape project. The Authori.ty tree spade was active in
preparing B&B trees for all Authority landscape projects.
The Authority nursery operation supplied 1,638 trees and 5,576 shrubs to other
government agencies this past spring. Trees and shrubs have been supplied to
the Flood Control Section (300 B.R. trees and 2,650 shrubs). One hundred
trees were donated to the Township of Norwich for replacing trees lost in
the August 9th, 1979 tornado.
Nine site visits were carried out for Authority land agricultural rentals.
Stream improvement projects consisting of fencing, plantings and bank
stabilization are being carried out on 750m of stream on Authority lands to
improve cold water fisheries.
Private Landowner Assistance Programs
Approximately 5,300 farm trees and 5,000 shrubs have been planted under the
Farm Tree and Shrub Program for 71 private landowners within the watershed.
Twenty-seven private landowners received, assistance in planting 116,250
seedling trees under the private reforestation assistance program.
Ten private tree spade rentals have been carried out to date and four remain
on file.
Site visits related to pond construction, stream improvement and planting
assistance programs were carried out for 34 private landowners within the
watershed.
Stream improvement projects are underway for private landowners. Two projects
have been completed and four remain on file. Under the S.P.O.F., approximately
900m of stream will be developed for cold water fisheries by improving habitat
and reducing sediment. One site has been completed and additional projects
of fencing and stabilization have been scheduled.
A stream improvement display and private landowner assistance program display
has been developed to promote the Authority technical assistance program. A
pond assistance fact sheet has been developed to assist private landowners in
maintaining and constructing ponds.
,
One Conservation Plan has been completed and 4 requests for plans remain on
file.
CONSERVATION AREA OPERATIONS
During the early part of the spring season, preparations were completed for
opening the 13 Forest and Wildlife Areas and Conservation Areas for summer
activities. All Areas were operating by the Victoria Day weekend. Albion
Hills, Bruce's Mill, Claremont, Glen Haffy, Greenwood and Heart Lake Areas
opened for the start of the trout season April 26th. During this period,
Conservation Area staff also assisted with the spring tree and shrub planting
programs on both private ~nd Authority lands.
The Bruce's Mill Maple Syrup program concluded in mid-April. This year's
program attendance was down 2,172 general visitors and 1,047 school children.
The Indian Line and Albion Hills campgrounds opened mid-May. All swimming
areas opened May 31st, except Petticoat Creek and Greenwood. Repairs and
painting delayed the Petticoat Creek pool opening one week. The Greenwood
swimming pond was not opened due to lack of sufficient, qualified lifeguard
staff.

B-280 - 3 -
Several special activities took place in Conservation Areas during the spring.
At Claireville, the Lamplighter's Camping Club held a tree planting day on
May 10 at which club mcmberA planted 1,000 reforestation trees. The annual
canoe program "Open House" was held on tolay 11 and featured equipment displays
and demonstrations. A windsurfing regatta took place on June 28-29. For a
first-time event, it was moderately successful but storms curtailed some of
the activity. A second regatta is being scheduled for later this summer.
May 24th at Greenwood Conservation Area commerated the Town of Ajax's 25th
Anniversary with free admission, tree planting ceremonies and fishing
demonstra tions. Despite considerable promotion and good weather, only 800
people attended the activities.
The Cold Creek Area model aircraft site was officially opened on June 21st
with a fun fly contest for members and guests of the Radio Control Flying
Club of Toronto. Two one day Husky Shows were held during May and June by
the Siberian Husky Club. The first of several Hunter Education courses was
held during June.
A weekday parki.ng fee reduction was introduced at Boyd, Bruce's Mill, Claireville,
Heart Lake and Petticoat Creek Conservation Areas beginning June 2nd. Fees
were reduced from $2.50 to $1.50 per car between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. It
is too early to fairly assess this program, however, sales in all Areas totalled
939 to the end of June. The bulk of these occurred during the last week of
June.
During this period, staff have been involved in several promotional activities.
Flyers and brochures on the Clairville Canoe Open House, Ajax 25th Anniversary
and the Petticoat Creek pool were distributed to Conservation Area visitors.
Cable T.V. interviews were completed on Conservation Area activities and Ajax
25th Anniversary as well as a special program for TV Ontario on the Claireville
Canoe activity.
The following table compares attendance figures for the period of April 1st
to June 30, 1980 and the total attendance for the year to June 30, 1980 with
the same periods for 1979. For April 'to June attendance decreased 7909 visitors
or 2.6% while the total attendance has decreased 52,408 or 13.7%.

FINANCIAL COMMENTS
Costs to date have been in line with projections for Conservation Areas Develop-
ment. Estimates prepared by a consulting engineer for the Indian Line Camp-
ground extension are higher than originally anticipated. Work will be carried
out to the limit of funds available.
Sixty-seven percent of the anticipated revenues from Conservation Services
programs has been met to date. Revenues by year end will exceed the present
anticipated budget of 62,500 by approximately 50%. This additional revenue
will offset coinciding anticipated overspending in the private assistance
program.
Conservation Areas Operations revenue is projected to be $240,500 below budget
estimates. This shortfall is primarily due to lower attendance resulting
from poor weather conditions particularly during the winter season. In order
to offset this shortfall spending will be reduced by terminating all seasonal
staff September 1st. As well, during the fall, Area staff will be transferred
to other projects. These actions will realize $112,900 savings in anticipated
spending. This will leave a projected shortfall of $127,600 at year end.
Additional measures are being investigated to offset this shortfall.

1981
PRELIMINARY BUDGET ESTIMATES
AUTHORITY PURPOSE, ACHIEVEMENTS AND OBJECTIVES
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has adopted a program designed to further 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.
Each Conservation Authority in Ontario has been directed by the Province of Ontario to:- "Study and investigate the watershed
and prepare and file with its member municipalities and the Minister of Natural Resources, a Watershed Plan." See report of
the Working Group on the Mandate and Role of the Conservation Authorities of Ontario (1979).
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority endorsed a Watershed Plan on May 9, 1980. The Plan will be adopted
in 1980 and will be filed with its member municipalities and the Minister of Natural Resources.
The Watershed Plan is comprised of ten (10) interrelated programs:-
Flood Control Program: Provision for protection of human life and property from the hazards of flooding and erosion
is a basic requirement and the core of the Watershed Plan and the Flood Control Program. This program provides for
remedial measures, land acquisition and application of regulatory measures to leave flood plains unobstructed to pass
flood flows.
Three programs complementary to the Flood Control Program recognize the relationships between urban drainage, erosion
and sedimentation, and flooding.
Erosion and Sediment Control Program: The Erosion and Sediment Control Program is aimed at protecting life and property
through corrective works as well as preventing future hazards through development control
Storm Water Manavement Program: The Storm Water Management Program details cooperat1ve action between the Authority and
its member munic1palities on water management problems and preparation of master drainage plans.
Conservation Land Management Program: The Conservation Land Management Program promotes conservation on private and
public lands by providing for reforestatation, habitat improvements, stream improvements and a conservation land planning
service.
Shoreline Management Program: The Shoreline Management Program aims at reducing erosion and flooding hazards along the
Lake Ontario Shoreline through application of protective works, acquisition and planning and regulatory controls.
PAGE !=1-
Land Acquisition Program: To ensure proper conservation land management, the Land Acquisition Program provides for
acquisition of flood plain and valley lands, waterfront lands and environmentally significan~ lands. The Authority has
acquired 26,600 acres of land that are being managed to achieve the objectives set forth in the Watershed Plan.
Watershed Recreation Program AND Lake Ontario Waterfront Development Program: A valuable ancillary use of conservation
lands is the development of recreation areas for public use and enjoyment. The Watershed Recreation Program and the
Lake Ontario Waterfront Development Program are designed to meet this need.
Heritage Conservation Program: The Heritage Conservation Program recognizes the special contribution that a historical
perspective gives to the understanding of resource management.
Community Relations Program: All of the efforts of the Authority in its conservation programs are dependent upon commun-
ity understanding and acceptance. The Community Relations Program establishes the means by which the Authority can
communicate with the community.
The 1981 Preliminary Budget Estimates have been prepared on the basis of programs included in the Watershed Plan, and com-
parison with previous activities is difficult. Based on previous budget systems since 19S7, 62.5% of the Authority's capital
and development budget has been devoted to Water and Related Land Management, 24.5% has been devoted to the Lake Ontario
Waterfront, 10.8% to Conservation and Recreation Land Management, and 2.2% to Outdoor and Conservation Education.
The 1981 Preliminary Budget Estimates provide for the completion of the Interim Water and Related Land Management Project
1979 to 1981, the Waterfront Project 1977 to 19S1, and the Supplementary Waterfront Project 1980/Sl.
FORMAT OF PRESENTATION
The 1981 Preliminary Budget Estimates are based on a new format. The format is designed to more clearly identify the ten
programs adopted by the Authority in its Watershed Plan. In addition, the budget estimates are organized into management
units to more clearly identify and manage the Authority programs. The principles of program budget management have been
used to develop the 1981 Preliminary Budget Estimates.
There are five major types of Provincial grants available through the Ministry of Natural Resources to Conservation
Authorities:-
1) Administration 4) Special Projects and Programs
2) Water & Related Land Management 5) Supplementary Grants (not applicable to M.T.R.C.A.)
3) Conservation & Recreation Land Management

FINANCIAL COMMENTS
Village attendance to September 30, 1980 is 218,089, as compared
to 222,403 for the same period last year. The slight drop in total attend-
ance this year is due, almost entirely, to the poor weather and resulting
lower attendance on Festival Day, September 13, 1980. The Festival attend-
ance for 1980 was 4,349 compared to 7,555 in 1979. Gate revenue to Sept.
30, 1980 is $412,469, an increase of approximately $54,000 over 1979.
Revenue from sales outlets is up approximately $7,000 over 1979.
Village citizens number 431 to date, as compared to 396 in 1979.
The government sponsored Experience '80 Program provided the Village
with 11 students over the summer. They were a great asset to the Village
operation.

CONSERVATION SERVICES
AUTHORITY LAND M1\NAGEl>lENT PROGRAM
The construction of the new Conservation Services Workshop has begun. This
facility will assist the nursery operation in meeting increased production
requirements necessitated by the new Urban Management Programs outlined in
the watershed Plan.
To meet objectives outlined in the Conservation Land Management Program of
the Watershed Plan for increased resource management activities on Authority
lands, management plans have been prepared for Claireville Conservation Area,
Lake St. George Forest and Wildlife Area, Cold Creek Conservation Area,
Greenwood Forest and wildlife Area, Bruce's Mill Conservation Area, Pal grave
Forest and Wildlife Area and the Albion Hills Conservation Area. Management
. plan preparation will continue this fall on additional Authority lands.
Stream improvement projects for sediment control and fish habitat improvement
are being carried out on approximately 750m of stream on Authority lands.
Fencing projects to control cattle access to streams have been completed and
tree and shrub plantings will be installed this fall.
The Humber Bay East landscape and tree maintenance project has been completed
(345 shrubs and 345 B.B. trees) and a landscape project for Bluffer's Park
adjacent to the eastern parking lot is scheduled for this fall. Gas monitoring
and tree maintenance projects have been carried out at the South Thackeray
Sanitary Landfill Site. Phase II landscape project at Thackeray is underway.
Wildlife shrub plantings will be carried out this fall at the Glen Haffy,
Claireville and Palgrave ~reas.
To ensure that proper conservation practices are carried out on Authority
lands leased for agricultural purposes, rental agreements are prepared that
outline specific conditions to be followed. Six agreements have been
prepared that compliment the objectives of the Conservation Land Management
Program.
PRIVATE LN~DOWNER ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
Site visits related to pond construction, stream improvement and planting
assistance programs were carried out for l7.private landowners.
Four stream improvement projects have been completed for private landowners
and 4 applications remain on file. The second year of the S.P.O.F. prograre
has enhanced approximately l200m of streams for cold water fisheries by im-
proving habitat and reducing sediment. Four sites have been completed and
4 additional projects of planting and fencing have been scheduled for the
fall.
Seven private tree spade rentals have been carried out and 7 remain on file
for completion this fall.
Two Conservation Plans have been completed and 5 additional plans will be
completed by year end.
CONSERVATION AREA UEVELOPMEnT
During the third quarter of 1980, a number of development projects were
initiated.
At the Bruce's Mill Conscrvation Area, the construction of the washroom
extension to the Pancake Pavilion was begun. This included improvemcnts

Also at Bruce's Mill, with the assistance of the Metropolitan Toronto and
Region Conservati.on Foundation, staff have begun further restoration of the
Grist Hill. In excess of $7,000 has been received und the weight scale
shelter has been replaced. Staff are currently investigating the potential
of securing Wintario funding to aid in this restoration project.
Throughout the sunur.er months, the landscape beds have been maintained at
the Claireville Beach Area. A major gulley erosion problem has been corrected
at the beach area. Further enhancement of this area is identified in the
Multi-year Forecast.
The Glen Haffy Trout rearing program has continued with the tender awarded
for the supply of 45,000 Rainbow Trout Fry for December 1980 delivery.
Landscaping around the parking lot and the Trap Range Control Building at
the Cold Creek Conservation Area was begun during the third quarter of 1980.
This has included seeding, sodding, the planting of calibre, deciduous and
coniferous trees and the installation of an interlock stone access area.
The major development program for 1980, the Water and Electrical Servicing
of the Indian Line Campground, began in September following the end of the
campground's most active year to date. Water servicing was installed by
Authority staff and a contract has been negotiated for the electrical
servicing.
Investigation during September at the Claireville Reservoir has indicated that
the bass stocked in the spring have spawned successfully and hundreds of
bass fingerlings are present. Further stocking is planned in 1981.
CONSERVATION AREAS OPERATIONS
During the summer period, most Conservation Area activities were of routine
operational and maintenance nature.
A special program, "A Day on the Escarpment" was held on July 20 at the Glen
Haffy Area. Features included a fishing contest for children, displays by
the Niagara Escarpment Commission, the Caledon Bruce Trail Club, the Glen
Haffy Trout rearing program and Authority Land Management Programs. A special
feature on the geology of Glen Haffy was presented by Dr. Walter Tovell.
At Cold Creek, the Radio Control Flying Club of Toronto hosted their annual
contest at the model aircraft site on August 9/10. A special one day Husky
show was held on August 17.
Two 20-hour Hunter Education courses were conducted using the Cold Creek
range facilities in September.
FOllowing receipt of a request from the Ontario Water Ski Association for use
of the Claireville Reservoir, a special demonstration of this activity was
presented at Claireville on August 20th. Following this, authorization was
granted for interim use of the site. The Association operated a limited
progra~ which concluded in mid-September. Discussions are presently under-
way with the Association to finalize a formal agreement for future use of
the Claireville site.
A successful canoe program at Claireville has been completed. Group instruc-
tion courses increased slightly although total participants were less than
1979. Public instruction courses and attendance increased as did total
general canoe rentals.
The Windsurfing program operated under permit by Windsurfing Toronto has
concluded and a review of the program with the operators is underway.
The Albion Hills Family Camping program has concluded with total attendance
up 4,270 camper days over last year.
The special reduced weekday parking rate program concluded August 29. Ticket
sales for the June to August period totalled 3,437 with area totals as follows:
Heart Lake - 968; Boyd - 880; Claireville - 634; Bruce's Mill - 499; and
Petticoat Creek - 456.

PROGRESS REPORT

The comparison of this attendance to the same period last year is somewhat
difficult. Previously, attendance figures have been maintained on a daily
basis with no separate figures available for the corresponding time period.
Superintendent's were therefore requested to observe weekday evening atten-
dance and compare it, based on their experience, with the previous year. At
the conclusion of the reduced rate period, all Superintendents concerned were
of the opinion that the reduced rate had no significant effect on weekday
evening attendance.
Division staff participated in 2 radio interviews (CBC and CHFI) on the Glen
Haffy "Escarpment Day" and special programs at Claireville and Cold Creek
Areas. Flyers were also distributed on the "Escarpment Day". .
Again, this year, the Experience Program contributed significantly to Conser-

FINANCIAL COMMENTS
Conservation Areas Development costs to date are in line with projections. The
contract for the Indian Line Campground hydro servicing has been let to the
limit of the available budget. The Bruce's Mill washroom extension is in pro-
gress. Additional funding to accommodate requirements of the York Region Health
Unit are identified in the 1981 Budget.
Private Lands Assistance programs over-expenditure will be offset by additional
revenues. Authority Land Management Program budget estimates will be met.
Conservation Areas Operations revenue is projected to be $182,000 below budget
estimates. This shortfall is primarily due to lower attendance resulting from
poor weather conditions particularily during the winter season. t-lhile still
considerable, the revenue shortfall has improved by $58,000 as a result of
greater than anticipated revenue received during August and September. To
offset this shortfall, spending was reduced by terminating most seasonal staff
September 1st and by utilizing Area staff on other projects during the fall.
These actions have realized a $97,000 savings in anticipated spending. This
will leave a projected shortfall of $85,000 at year end.

COLONEL SAMUEL BOIS SMITH PARK
The decision of the Environmental Assessment Board is anticipated to be
received around the end of October.
HUMBER BAY WEST
The contract for installation of site services is well underway, with comple-
tion anticipated by mid November.
The interior shoreline protection has been completed and the rough grading of
the site is approximately 95% complete. Final armouring of two of the head-
lands is underway and will be completed by year end.
HUMBER BAY EAST
A very successful opening was held on August 29 at which time the park was
transferred to Metro Toronto Parks and Property Department for operation and
maintenance.
WESTERN BEACHES
A property survey has been completed and a formal request'has been submitted
to Metro and the City for transfer of all publicly owned lands to the
Authority.
BLUFFERS PARK PHASE II
Landfilling of the interior breakwater was completed in August with the
construction of the core of hardpoint number 8. Federal assistance for the
final armouring of the headland was received and the placement of all stone
material should be complete by the end of October. Landfilling of the island
area for the Bluffers Park Boating Federation is continuing, with completion
expected prior to the 1981 boating season. The boating federation is preparing
plans for dock construction in 1981 with a goal of adding a maximum of 250
slips. If the federation members are able to achieve that objective, the
mooring capacity of the island will be reached next year. Discussions are
ongoing with the federation, its four member clubs, and Metro Parks to finalize
the division of the island land base.
Erosion control work is underway in one of the small ravines adjacent to the
park to stabilize the area and reduce the volume of silt which is carried
down into the park.
Dredging of the sand from the northwest corner of the basin is underway in
preparation for the dock construction by the boating federation next spring.

EAST POINT
The final report and drawings for the site plan preparation for East Point
Park have been received from Hough Stansbury Michalski and Associates Limited.
Discussions are now underway with Metro Parks Department regarding implementa-
tion which is expected to begin in 1981.
ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
The second diving survey of all landfill sites is approximately 70% complete.
Samples of sediment have been obtained around the landfills for contaminant
analysis, and fish samples have also been obtained for contaminant analysis.
ASHBRIDGE'S BAY
Sewer, watermain and hydro connections to the North Ashbridge's Bay Boating
Community are approximately 95% complete.
AJAX WATERFRONT
Grading and cultivation of the lands between Harwood Avenue and the filtration
plant are underway in preparation for seeding in the spring of 1981.
SHORELINE MANAGEMENT
The major projects along Crescentwood Road and Kingsbury Crescent were delayed
this year due to difficulties in obtaining title to the shoreline from all
affected property owners. However, work was commenced at Crescentwood and
two groynes were completed along the shoreline west of the park. It appears
that if the Shoreline Management Program is to be successful, some change in
policy regarding owner participation will be required. It may be possible to
accept easements and cash contributions towards the cost of the work rather
than title to the shoreline.
The Authority has agreed to undertake shoreline protection work required for
two Borough of Etobicoke parkettes. Work is expected to begin immediately at
the end of Superior Avenue and Norris Crescent, with completion anticipated by
the end of the year.
A final draft of the first stage of the detailed geotechnical investigations
by Geocon Limited has been received and discussion regarding the second phase
of the work is ongoing.

COM."'1ENTS : Although it appears at this time that the budget is considerably underspent, a substantial amount of work is
underway for which no invoices have yet been paid. The contract for servicing at Humber Bay West has a total
value of approximately $200,000, for which no payments have been made at the time of this statement. Similarly,
the armouring at Humber Bay West is just getting started, but expenditures will exceed $200,000 by the end of
the year. At Bluffers Park invoices from the Toronto Harbour Commissioners are two months in arrears and no
payments have yet been made for the bluff stabilization work or the dredging, which are underway. The
Monitoring Program also appears to be under budget but a substantial portion of the Program is associated with
contaminant analysis, which is just getting underway.

Kortright Ccntre for Conservation
a) Exhibits - to date twelve exhibits have been completed and
are now fully operating for the use of the public in the
exhibi t hall. It is planned that four more exhibits will be
completed by the end of the year.
b) Outdoor Development
(a) Land Theme - "Corn Exhibit"
This is an outdoor exhibit demonstrating the use of petro
chemicals as an aid to farming. The exhibit consists of
a control plot and a number of additional plots using
fertilizers and herbicides in varying combinations and
quantities. It is to be developed over a two year period,
this being the first year.
(b) Summer Students - Experience '80, Youth Employment Program,
and Federal Youth Program
A total of 10 summer students were involved in a variety
of programs related to the Outdoor Development Program
- Six Urban Lot Demonstrations were begun in 1978 and
were only 40% completed. This summer the entire plan was
revised to include fencing, patios, walkways and planting
and three of the lots were 100% completed.
- Stream Improvement - a 30 foot and a 60 foot log
cribbing project were completed.
- A Cattle Watering Station - was constructed courtesy
of a Ministry of Agriculture grant.
- A Self Guiding Trail was constructed
- 3 major Log Jams were removed, additional trail work
was completed and extensive wood cutting for the maple
syrup program was undertaken.
c) Public Programs - As well as full day programs each Sunday
and holiday during the summer months, a short program was
available every afternoon that included a theatre presentation
and an outdoor activity related to one of the Kortright themes.
_ The variety and quality of programs available to the public
is excellent and gradually more and more people are being
attracted to the Centre - programs such as an all day "Art
Trek" from Kortright to McMichael's and back and the evening
"Coyote Howl".
d) Merchandise - the Store is already acquiring a reputation
for high quality merchandise at reasonable prices. It is also
becoming known as a mjor source for books related to wildlife,
Forestry, Land and Water.
e) Special Functions - Requests from a wide variety of organi-
zations to hold special functions at the Kortright Centre
are increasing - organizations that are both closely related
to and very remote from Conservation. Admiral Corporation
held a week long seminar for sales personnel to introduce a
new line of merchandise, but at the same time learned a
great deal about Conservation. The annual meeting of the
Ontario Institute of Agrologists was held, with part of the
program including a Kortright slide presentation in the
Theatre.

FINANCIAL COMMENTS
A. Operations and Maintenance - Community Relations
Information and Education
Although we incurred additional expenditures when an employee left
Cold Creek and at Albion Hills Conservation Field Centre due to furnace
repairs and high food service costs, our forecast to December 31, 1980
is 5% less than budget.
Revenues are 8% lower than budget largely as a result of lower than
estimated revenues at the Kortright Centre for Conservation and a greater
portion of anticipated revenue from the Tours being credited to the
operation of Black Creek Pioneer Village.
The combined net effect on the operations of this Division, as forecasted
to December 31, 1980 is a deficit of $27,612.
B. Water and Related Land Management - Community Relations Program (WlO )
Kortright Centre - Area Development: On target
_ Furnishings, Exhibits and Equipment: Phase II of the
Wintario Project will be spent by year-end and a surplus
of $10,000 will be carried forward to 1981
Lake St. George - Development: Overspent by approximately $40,000.
This amount will be provided by the Boards of Education
through the contingency agreed upon in the agreement,
the approved student labour substitution and a transfer
of expenditures to"Operations"
Conservation
Information
Education _ Expenditures will be 3% lower than budget estimates
C. Conservation and Recreation Land Management --
Conservation Area Information and Interpretive Program (C3)
Expenditures under this Program will be 22% over budget as a result of
additional expenses incurred in the Garden Party, Honour Roll Awards
ceremony, Staff Tour and BBQ, and the official openings of the Lake St.
George Conservation Field Centre and the Whitchurch-Stouffville Channel.

FROM: MR. W. A. McLEAN, DIRECTOR, PLANNING AND POLICY
RE: ADDENDUM TO THE SUPPLE~mNTARY PROJECT,
INTERIM WATER AND RELATED LAND MANhGEMENT PROJECT 1979-1981
FOR THE DREDGING OF THE KEATING CHANNEL, DON RIVER
The Authority's request to the Ministry of Natural Resources for approval of
\ the Supplementary Project for the dredging of the Keating Channel culminated
with a conditional approval requiring the preparation of an Environmental
Assessment. The original description of the Supplementary Project did not
include funding for the preparation of an Environmental Assessment and
therefore it is essential that an Addendum to that Project be adopted which
provides for additional funding to cover the costs of the Assessment
preparation.
At Meeting #17/80, the Executive Committee adopted the following
recommendati.ons:
"THAT dredging proceed immediately and continue as long as weather
permits in 1980 and that it resume as early as possible in 1981:
and
THAT an Addendum to the Supplementary Project for the Dredging of
the Keating Chaunel be prepared for approval by Metropolitan
Toronto, the Province of Ontario and The Toronto Harbour
Commissioners, outlining the Environmental Assessment components
on the basis that the funding for the Assessment is shared equally
between the MTRCA and The Toronto Harbour Commissioners: and
.
THAT the Authority immediately begin the data collection and
background studies required for the Environmental Assessment, to
be funded from the unspent Authority and Toronto Harbour
Commissioners 1980 dredging allocation:
AND FURTHER THAT The Toronto Harbour Commissioners be requested
to approve this funding allocation."
An Addendum has now been prepared which identifies a preliminary framework for
the Environmental Assessment and documents the proposed cost sharing formula.
The additional funding required will constitute an increase in the 1981 budget:
however, in order to start the Environmental Assessment in 1980, funds will be
reallocated from the allocation for dredgin9.
The conditional approval and the Addendum refer to a May 31, 1981 completion
date for the Environmental Assessment. The consultants being considered to
assist in the preparation of the Assessment have been advised of this timing
and will confirm to the Authority in the near future whether or not this date
can be met. The Ministry of Natural Resources has been advised that the

ADDENDUM TO
A SUPPLEMENTARY PROJECT TO
THE INTERIM WATER AND RELATED LAND MANAGEMENT PROJECT 1979-1981
FOR THE DREDGING OF THE KEATING CHANNEL - DON RIVER
,
1. SUBJECT
This Addendum to the Supplementary Project outlines the background which led to
the requirement for an Environmental Assessment to b~ prepared for the dredging
of the Keating Channel. The Addendum provides a general framework for the
Environmental Assessment and outlines the funding required for the work.
2. DETAILED DESCRI~TION
(a) PURPOSE
--
The purpose of this Addendum to the Supplementary Project is to describe the
general nature of an Environmental Assessment required to examine the flooding
and other problems related to the silting of the Kaating Channel at the mouth
of the Don River. The Addendum describes the funding formula required to cover
the costs of the assessment.
(b) BACKGROUND
The Supplementary Project for the Dredging of the Keating Channel was put
forward to:
n .... provide part of the funding required to dredge the
Keating Channel at the mouth of the Don River in order
to minimize the potential flood hazard: minimize
pollution to the Inner Harbour: and make the northeast
corner of the harbour usable for shipping."
In order to implement this Project, the Authority required the approval of the
Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Province of Ontario. Approval for
funding of the Project by Metro Toronto has been received on an annual basis,
first at a meeting of Metro Toronto Council on June 19, 1979 and then the 1980
funding was approved at a meeting of Council on January 19, 1980. The approval
of the Province of Ontario for the first three years of the proposed dredging
was provided by M.A. C 48/80 which the Authority received June 26, 1980. The
provincial approval of the Project is subject to the Authority preparing an
Environmental Assessment as an agent of the Ministry of Natural Resources. The
Environmental Assessn,ent is to be submitted to the Minister of the Environment
by May 31, 1981.
B-392
- 2 -
Emergency dredging is required to alleviate the immediate potential for
flooding due to the reduced capacity of the Keating Channel to carry flood
flows. In order for this emergency dredging to proceed, the Minister of the
Environment has granted exemptions for the dredging and disposal of the material
under the Environmental Assessment Act and the Environmental Protection Act.
Both of the exemptions apply until March 31, 1982 subject to an Environmental
Assessment of the flooding and other problems related to the silting of the
, Keating Channel being submitted by May 31, 1981.
(c) ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK
The general guidelines for carrying out an environmental assessment are
contained within Section 5(3) of the Environmental Assessment Act. These have
been used as a guide in establishing the framework which follows. Detailed
terms of reference for the assessment studies will be required once approval
for the Addendum is in place.
This environmental assessment can be divided into two major sections:
- examination of the problems resulting from
the siltation; and
- an examination of alternative solutions to
the problems identified.
The silting of the !.ower Don River, Keating Channel and the Inner Harbour is
considered to have three major impacts - on flood control, on the environment
and on navigation. The first task then is to examine these potential problems.
Problem Evaluation
(a) Flood Control - determination of the impact of silting
on the ability to control flooding.
(b) Environment - determination of the impact of silting on
water and sediment quality and associated biological
communities.
(c) Navigation - determination of the impact of silting on
the ability to use the Keating Channel and Inner Harbour
for shipping and other marine related functions.
In order to fully examine the potential problems resulting from
silting, an attempt must also be made to:
(d) determine the quantities and sources of sediment and
contaminants generated now and in the future.
B-393
- 3 -
Based upon the analysis of the impact of the silting of the Lower Don River,
the Keating Channel and the Inner Harbour, an examination of possible solutions
is required.
Although possible solutions for each major impact must be examined as a separate
unit, it is also necessary to adopt a comprehensive approach to solving all the
problems resulting from the silting of the Lower Don River, the Keating Channel
, and the Inner Harbour. In this regard then, it would be the intent to arrive
at an optimized solution for all the problems identified.
Alternative Solutions
In order to fully examine possible solutions for silting related
problems in the future, an examination must be made to:
(a) determine the feasibility of controlling sediment and
pollutants at their source, both in terms of quantity
and quality.
Given the existence of a problem at this point in time:
(b) Flood Control - an examination of alternative remedial
measures would address the following:
- do nothing
- establishment of a disaster relief fund
- acquisition
- dredging
- protective dyking and/or channelization
- use of flood damage reduction measures
- any combination of the above
(c) Environment - an examination of alternative measures
would address the following:
- do nothing
- dredging
(d) Navigation - an examination of alternative measures
would address the following:
- do nothing
- relocation of port uses
- dredging
- alternative means of accessing port uses
If it is determined that the "do nothing" alternative is not
acceptable, then an examination of alternative methods of
implementing the selected solution(s) would be required.
B-394
- 4 -
As a result of the foregoing investigations, if it is
determined that the silting of the Lower Don River, the
Keating Channel and the Inner Harbour causes major problems,
and if it is determined that the solution to all the major
problems is the physical removal of the silt, then an
examination of the dredging and disposal process would be
required.
.
Alternative Methods of Dredging
- the following alternative methods of dredging would be
examined and assessed:
- mechanical
- dipper
- bucket
- drag line
- others
- hydraulic
Alternative Mechanisms for Disposal
- the following alternative mechanisms for the disposal of
dredged material would be examined and assessed:
- disposal of the material at a sanitary landfill
or other similar disposal site
- disposal of the material by open water dumping
- disposal of the material at a waterfront
endikement area.
Alternative Means of Transporting Dredged Material
- dependent upon the method of dredging selected, an
examination of alternative means of transporting
dredged material would be required and the alternatives
would be assessed:
- trucking
- scow
- hydraulic pipeline
Alternative Disposal Location
- based upon the selected mechanism for disposal, an
examination of alternative locations would be required
which would include an assessment of the capacity of
the sites and their impact on the surrounding environment
B-395
- 5 -
- also, subject to the determination of the selected
disposal location, it may be necessary to further
examine the ultimate use of the disposal area with
consideration for existing and proposed uses for
the surrounding area.
,
In carrying out this environmental assessment, consideration will be given at
all stages to economic, environmental and engineering implications.
Due to the extensive scope of this environmental assessment and the desire to
have it completed and submitted for approval as soon as possible, the MTR~,
must seek the cooperation of other agencies whose areas of responsibility
include expertise significant to matters raised in the assessment: for example,
The Toronto Harbour Commissioners wi.th respect to shipping, the Ministry of
Natural Resources with respect to fisheries, and the Ministry of the' Environment
with respect to water and sediment quality and control.
3. COST/FINANCING
The cost of the preparation of the assessment document is difficult to estimate
accurately sincs it is highly dependent on availability of data and consulting
proposals. However, based on past experience, it is estimated that an
assessment of this complexity will cost in the order of $300,000. This amount
does not cover any additional costs which would be incurred should the
. assessment have to go through the environmental hearing process.
The funding of the assessment study is proposed to be equally split between the
MTRCA and The Toronto Harbour Commissioners. It is expected that all the funds
will be expended during 1981.
The Toronto HarbOur Commissioners $150,000.00
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority $150,000.00
The MTRCA will fund its share of the study on the following basis:
The Province of Ontario - 55% or $82,500.00
The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto - 45% or $67,500.00
The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto is designated as the benefiting
municipality.

SECTION I
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE SUBMITS THE FOLLOWING ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION OF THE
AUTHORITY AND RECOMMENDS THEIR ADOPTIONz
1. WATERSHED PLAN AND PROGRAMS
-Revisions
A staff report was presented advising that at Meeting #3/80, held Friday,
May 9, 1980, the Authority received a report and recommendation from the
Executive Committee regarding the Watershed Plan and its 20 constituent
Programs. In this regard, it was resolved:
"THAT the Watershed Plan, as amended and appended as Schedule "A"
of the Minutes of Executive Committee Meeting #5/80, held
Wednesday, April 16, 1980, be received and endorsed:
AND FURTHER THAT the Watershed Plan be circulated to the Ministry
of Natural Resources, to the Authority's member municipalities,
and to the area municipalities, for their comment and endorsement."
In addition to circulating the Watershed Plan and Program texts, the
Authority requested an opportunity to make presentations to municipal
Councils to explain and discuss the proposals. The following groups
requested and received Watershed Plan presentations:
. Cabinet Committee on . Borough of Etobicoke
Resources Development . City of North York
. Metropolitan Toronto . Borough of East York
. Region of Durham . City of Brampton
. Region of Peel . TOwnship of Uxbridge
. Region of York . Ministry of Natural Resources,
. Borough of York Central Region
Written responses have been received from the following:
. Durham Region . City of Mississauga
. Town of Ajax . Metropolitan Toronto
. Town of Pickering . Borough of York
. York Reg ion . Borough of East York
. Town of Richmond Hill . Ministry of Natural Resources
. City of Brampton . Ministry of Transportation and
Communications
-3- B-403
Authority staff has met with municipal representatives and with the Ministry
of Natural Resources to resolve those concerns arising from lack of clarity
within the Plan and Program documents. A number of changes have been made
in the documents to clarify the Authority's objectives without affecting the
intent of the proposals.
The revised Watershed Plan and the specific revisions to each Program are
enclosed with your agenda. The following summarizes the responses received
and the amendments made. Subsequent to the Authority adopting the Plan and
Program revisions, final documents will be prepared for distribution.
THE WATERSHED PLAN
The Region of York and the City of Mississauga stated the document was
lengthy and would benefit from editing. Staff has revised the Plan and
Programs to make them more succinct. As the Programs are, however, intended
to be read as separate documents, each is complete and may, if all ten are
read, contain certain overlapping information. The Plan itself has been
greatly reduced in those sections summarizing the Programs.
Metropolitan Toronto and the Ministry of Natural Resources expressed concern
that, while the Plan and Program documents outlined the Program Objectives,
there was not sufficient discussion to clearly establish the Authority's
overall goals and objectives. Both requested that clarification be given to
the interrelationships amongst Programs and the priorization of Programs.
In response, Sections 5.1.1, 5.1.2 (pages 22-31) and Section 5.12 (pages
65-69) have been expanded to provide the required clarification.
Changes to the text of the Plan have also been made to reflect changes to
the ten Programs.
FLOOD CONTROL PROGRAM
A number of changes were made by staff to clarify the objectives of the
Authority. These include page 3l, objective (a): page 32, objective (f):
page 38, criteria (c): page 39 (e): page 40 (c): and page 41, paragraph (2),
and the sections dealing with flood vlunerable areas and flood damage
centres. A number of these changes reflect discussions with Region of York
staff. .
"Metropolitan Toronto requested staff to review those sections of the
Programs requesting municipal cooperation and define specifically the
municipal mechanisms to be employed. Changes in this Program to accommodate
Metro's request are found on page 32 (e). Metro also requested the Authority
to more clearly state its objectives regarding hazard lands. This has been
achieved by expanding the introductory paragraph to Section 5.1.3, page 38.
The Ministry of Natural Resources requested clarification of Authority flood
COntrol objectives in areas draining less than 1300 ha. Section (a), page 38
has been revised to accomplish this request. Section (b), page 39 has also
been revised, as requested by the Ministry, to ensure reference to the
Regional Storm for any new development in damage centres.
In defining damage centres, and proposing policies specific to them,
Authority staff feel these are within the intent of the Provincial Flood
Plain Criteria for special policy areas. Since the criteria specific to
these areas are not finalized, and since designation as special policy areas
will require Provincial approvals, the Authority should request the Ministry
to designate the damage centres defined by the Authority as special policy
areas within the intent of the Provincial Flood Plain Criteria.
The Borough of York, the City of Brampton and the Town of Richmond Hill
commented specific to damage centres within their jurisdiction. As the
Authority's work in these areaas will be part of the implementation of its
policy proposals, no changes in text were requi r'ed. Discussions with each
municipality respecting damage centres will occur prior to works being
undertaken. Further site specific study of each area will also be under-
taken in consultation with the affected municipalities.
The Town of Pickering suggested that consideration be given to owner
contribution to the cost of remedial works under this Program. Under The
COnservation Authorities Act, the Authority receives Provincial grants and
levies its member municipalities to carry out works proposed. The
municipality may raise its levy requirement as it chooses and, therefore,
the option of charging owners would be a municipal prerogative. This
comment required no change in the text of the Program.
B-404 -4-
The Ministry of Transportation and Communications requested a change to page
38A (d)(ii) to provide for some flexibility with respect to the design of
structures. This has been done.
The Costs and Financial Implications section of this Program has been
revised to reflect the Authority's new program budget format.
EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PROGRAM
The Region of York requested clarification regarding the regulations to be
applied under this Program. Page 13 (a) has been revised to clarify this
point. Page 13 (b) and (c) have been expanded in response to Metropolitan
Toronto's request for clarification of the type of municipal cooperation
required.
Page 16 (a) has been expanded in response to Metropolitan Toronto, the
Borough of York, and Region of York comments respecting the area of concern
to the Authority within this Program.
Page 17 (c) and (e) have ben amended by staff to be consistent with changes
in other parts of the Program and in the Storm Water Management Program.
Page 21 (a) has been revised to enable greater flexibility in the
implementation of the Program and to recognize the Authority's past involve-
ment in providing remedial measures.
The Costs and Financial Implications section has been amended to conform to
the Authority's program budget format.
LAND ACQUISITION PROGRAM
Those sections underlined on pages 4, 4A, 5, 6 and 13 are changes and
additions requested by Metropolitan Toronto, the Region of York, and the Town
of Richmond Hill to clarify Authority land acquisition objectives and
mechanisms both within and beyond this Program.
Pages 6A, 7 and 10 have been amended by staff to provide greater flexibility
with respect to defining lands for acquisition.
The change on page 15 has been made, by staff, to conform to maintenance
costs identified by the Land Management staff.
STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
This Program, as the major new initiative proposed by the Authority,
generated the most comment by both municipalities and the Ministry of Natural
Resources. In order to respond to these comments, staff held numerous
meetings with the affected groups. The overall concern expressed related to
the implementation of the Program, specifically to the responsibilities for
preparation of Master Drainage Plans, and to the incorporation of Authority
objectives into the planning process.
To address these concerns, the Program text has been re-written to clearly
state responsibilities for the various components in the implementation of
Program objectives. In particular, the role of the Authority in preparing
Part I Master Drainage Plans has been defined.
WATERSHED RECREATION PROGRAM
Page 17 of the Program has been amended, at the request of the Ministry of
Natural Resources, to address the provision of camping opportunities.
Page 21 has been amended to reflect the Authority's new program budget
format.
Page iv has been amended to clarify that the study of the Boyd Area will be
a review and update of the existing plan rather than the preparation of a
new Master Plan.
CONSERVATION LAND MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Changes to pages 2, 7, and 17 have been made on the basis of suggestions by
the Ministry of Natural Resources.
The discussion of Resource Management Tracts on pages 20 and 21 has been
amended, by staff, to more clearly define Authority objectives.
-5- B-405
The Costs and Financial Implications section has been revised to reflect the
Authority's program budget format.
SHORELINE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Objective (a), page 19, has been amended in response to Metropolitan
Toronto's request for clarification regarding municipal cooperation.
Pages 23 and 27 have been amended, by staff, to clarify the Authority's
interests.
LAKE ONTARIO WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Page 29 has been amended, by staff, for clarification.
HERITAGE CONSERVATION PROGRAM
The Costs and Financial Implications section has been amended to be
consistent with the format utilized in all other Programs.
COMMUNITY RELATIONS PROGRAM
The Costs and Financial Implications section has been amended to reflect the
Authority's program budget format.

MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY
It is the intent of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
to fu~ther the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural
resources within its jurisdiction.
In this regard, applications under The Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority's fill, construction and alterations to waterways
regulations should be cognizant of the natural setting in any design, and,
should recognize the significance of maintaining natural functions (e.g.
accommodation of flood waters, water recharge and storage, etc.), where
appropriate.
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the regulations adopted by The Metropolitan Toronto and
Region Conservation Authority are to:
(1) Prevent loss of life, and property and structural damage through the
minimization of hazardous and unnecessary development of flood plains.
(2) Reduce public and private expenditure for emergency operation,
evacuation and restoration.
(3) Control alterations to waterways which would impact channel. capacity
by increasing flood heights and/or velocities, thus causing upstream
or downstream problems.
(4) Control the placing or dumping of fill in flood plains which would
affect the ability of the flood plains to perform their natural
function of safely accommodating flood flows.
(5) Control the aggravation or creation of slope instabilities through
the control of filling and the reduction of soil erosion.
(6) Control the placing or dumping of fill so as to limit pollution or
other degradation.
LIMITS OF REGULATED AREA
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's Regulations consist
of three major components:
- development in flood plains
- placing or dumping of fill
- alterations to waterways
B-430
- 9 -
(a) The limits of the valley flood plain shall be the Regional Storm flood
lines as shown on The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority's mapping, or calculated in a similar manner based on the
Regional Storm definition for other rivers and streams for which flood
line mapping is not available. For watercourses draining 125 hectares
or greater, the area between the Regional Storm flood lines shall be
considered regulated flood plain lands by The Metropolitan Toronto and
Region Conservation Authority.
(b) The limits of the lands regulated for the placing or dumping of fill
shall be defined as that area between the Fill Regulation Lines on
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority mapping.
(c) The limits of the area regulated for alteration to waterways shall
be defined as the existing channel of any river, creek, stream or
watercourse within the jurisdiction of The Metropolitan Toronto and
Region Conservation Authority.
OPERATIONAL CRITERIA
In implementing its regulations, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority will be guided by the philosophy, goals and objectives of the Watershed
Plan and the component Programs. In addition, the following criteria will also
serve to guide The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority:
DEVELOPMENT IN FLOOD PLAINS
It is the intent of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
to prevent the creation of additional flood prone development through the
application of regulations. However, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority realizes that certain activities have little impact on
the ability of the flood plain to safely pass flood flows, also, certain
essential services will, out of necessity, have to encI'oach upon the flood plain.
Further, certain flood prone development presently exists that is of a size or
nature that acquisition is not feasible from an economical and/or social view
point. Therefore, in its reyiew of development proposals, the Authority will
be guided by the following flood control criteria:
(I) Undeveloped Flood Plains
(a) Occupation of the flood plain for activities which do not require
alteration to the flood plain and which do not interfere with the
primary function of the flood plain are considered suitable. The
following land uses are representative of appropriate activities:
- agriculture
- outdoor recreation/open space
- gardens/nurseries/arboretums
- other similar non structural uses.
B-43l
- 10 -
Structures or buildings required for or associated with these
activities may be permitted in the flood plain but must be located
outside of the lOO year flood zone provided that no potential for
loss of life or substantial structural damage connected with such
structures exists.
(b) In keeping with the overall Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority objective of maintaining the valleys in a
natural state, the use of flood plains for parking lots will be
discouraged. However, if the need to utilize flood plains for
parking lot purposes can be demonstrated, then parking lots must
be located outside of the 100 year flood zone, and, in addition,
must meet other parking lot criteria established by The Metropolitan
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority which takes into account
flow velocity and depth of flooding. Further, the construction of
parking lots cannot involve the introduction of fill material so
as to raise the elevation of the parking lot to conform to the
Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority criteria.
(c) It is recognized that certain utilities or services such as storm
and sanitary sewers, natural gas or oil pipilines, hydro corridors,
foot paths and transportation links will, from time to time, be
required to cross or use the flood plain. Such uses should not
impede flood flows or be located in such a manner as to cause
adverse effects to the flood plain upstream or downstream.
(i) The construction of pipe or service lines should maintain
the predevelopment configuration of the flood plain and
minimize disturbance to existing vegetation. Pipe or
service lines parallel to the flood plain should be
constructed and protected so as to prevent scouring and
possible failure at a later date. In addition, storm
sewer outfalls should be designed to provide adequate
protection to the river banks.
(ii) Where feasible, bridge or structural abutments should be
located outside of the flood plain to minimize obstruction
to water flow.
(iii) Where structures are necessary within the flood plain
the structure should be designed so that overtopping or
flanking can occur with a minimum of damage. Major
bridges not designed for the Regional Flood should have
their approach ramp(s) designed as spillways. Smaller
footbridges should be designed to withstand blockage
and allow for spill.
(d) Spill zones occur in areas where the valley is ill-defined resulting
in a broad, uncontained exit for flood waters. As a consequence, it
is extremely difficult to accurately determine the limit or depth of
~lnn~in"~
B-432
- 11 -
The exact delineation of the flood plain for a spill zone shall be
determined by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority on a site specific basis. The artificial delineation of
this flood plain will take into account the average width of the
natural flood plain upstream and downstream, and, possible upstream
and downstream effects.
Development will not be permitted in the defined flood plain
except for those activities identified previously.
Prior to development in the remaining portion of the spill zone,
that area should be protected to the level defined by the Regional
Storm. No new development will be permitted until protective works
have been installed to the satisfaction of The Metropolitan Toronto
and Region Conservation Authority.
(2 ) Developed Flood Plains
Flood plain areas on which there is a concentration of development which
forms an integral part of an existing community have been defined by The
Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority as flood damage
centres. In such areas infilling and redevelopment may occur from time to
time. The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority will
identify the location and extent of damage centres in the watersheds and
will undertake a program of remedial works and/or acquisition to provide
protection to a level such that the risk of flooding does not exceed 50%
as a minimum. Further development within a damage centre will be governed
by the following criteria:
(a) The location and extent of damage centres will be determined by the
Authority in consultation with the appropriate municipality(ies).
(b) Within a damage centre, all new structures or buildings must be
protected to the degree that the risk of flooding is no higher than
that established by policy. As a general guideline, structures or
buildings will not be subjected to flooding under the Regional Storm.
However, where it is demonstrated that this level of protection is
technically not achievable, then as a minimum, structures or
buildings will not be subjected to a risk of flooding over their
assumed life of lOO years, in excess of 25%. Several flood damage
reduction techniques can be applied to achieve this level of risk,
including filling, elimination of openings, and strengthening of
foundations.
(c) Not withstanding criterion (b), no development, redevelopment or
additions will be permitted where they will be subjected to flows
which due to their velocity and/or depth would be a hazard to life
or susceptible to major structural damage as a result of a flood
less than or equal to the Regional Storm.
B-433
- 12 -
(d) For the development or redevelopment of all or part of a damage
centre that is also a spill zone, the spill zone should be protected
to reduce the risk of flooding to the required level prior to any
development or redevelopment. Every attempt should be made in the
grading of spill zones to allow for the passage of flood water
through streets without adverse effects on buildings.
PLACING OR DUMPING OF FILL
Within The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's fill
regulation lines, the placing or dumping of fill, whether originating on the
site or elsewhere, which in the opinion of The Metropolitan and Region
Conservation Authority impacts the control of flooding or pollution or the
conservation of land will be controlled.
The filling of a flood plain can, on a cumulative basis, have a major impact on
the ability of the flood plain to perform its function of safely accommodating
flood flows.
The placing or dumping of fill if not properly secured or vegetated can result
in surface erosion and eventual deposition in the rivers and streams.
Filling can impact the conservation of land by aggravating or creating an
erosion problem. In addition to ensuring that the fill is well vegetated, it
must also be properly compacted, well drained and protected from undercutting,
where required.
In addition to the foregoing, any proposal for the placing or dumping of fill
shall consider the following:
(a) The incorporation of erosion-sediment controls for fill related
work. Such controls could include but not necessarily be limited
to the following:
- temporary vegetation of stock-piled earth and exposed
construction sites
- retention of vegetation buffer strips
- diversion ditches for runoff
- sediment traps and basins
- temporary drainage contouring
- straw bale filters, particularly in proximity to
watercourses
- storm water management.
(b) The detailing of the type of fill to be used, the drain mechanisms
to be incorporated, and the protective works to be installed so as
to prevent failure or slipage of the fill.
(c) Any proposed fill related work shall take into consideration the
natural surroundings and topographic features.
B-434
- 13 -
ALTERATIONS TO WATERWAYS
Alterations to the natural state of a watercourse can result in elevated flood
heights and/or flow velocities which in turn can result in disastrous or
expensive problems. Therefore, any proposed alteration to a watercourse must
give consideration to the foregoing.
Where it can be demonstrated that an alteration to a waterway is required, The
Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority supports the use of
natural channel design concepts.
The basic aim of natural channel design is to create a stream channel analogous
to a configuration which would occur under natural conditions. In general,
this means that the channel is constructed as a meandering low flow channel
within a floodway.
The bed slope in the low flow section is such that under base flow conditions
the channel bed remains stablel deposition is in equilibrium with erosion,
and no changes result from normal flow conditions. In addition, curves and
meanders are either protected or designed to remain stable under normal
conditions.
The floodway is designed to carry high level flows, and is primarily intended
to ensure safe discharge of major flood flows. It also serves to contain the
low flow channel and protect it from encroachment.

APPENDIX 2
DEFINITION OF TERMS
8-441
- 18 -
DEFINITIONS
In addition to the definitions contained within the "Interpretation" section of
the Regulation, the following terms are frequently used:
BACKWATER CALCULATION
This is the calculation of the flood levels taking into account the volume
of water ( flows) and the channel geometrYI including man-made structures
or restrictions such as bridges, culverts, etc.
FLOW VELOCITY
Flow velocity is the speed of the flowing water. This will vary depending
on where within the flood plain or channel the velocity is measured.
Generally, flow velocities are greatest within the central portion of the
channel and decrease to the edge of the flood plain.
FLOW DEPTH
Flow depth is the depth of the water at any particular location within the
flood plain or channel.
FREE BOARD
Free board is the distance between the top of any berm, dyke, dam or edge
of a no development zone and the design level.
FREQUENCY (RETURN PERIOD)
The frequency of an event is a statistical indication of the rate at which
a specific event occurs over a given period of time. For example a 1 in
10 yr. flood would occur on the average once every lO years. However, it
should be noted that it is possible to experience more than one 10 yr.
flood within a lO yr. period.
PROBABILITY
The Probability of an event is another way of defining the frequency of an
event. The probability of a 1 in 10 yr. flood is l/IO or O.l.
Therefore a 1:l0 yr. flood event has a statistical probability of 0.1 of
being equalled or exceeded in anyone year. It can also be said that
there is a lOt chance of the 10 yr. flood occurring in any one yea~.
RISK
Risk is defined as the change that is associated with any action where harm
or loss can be encountered. The risk associated with building in the flood
plain can be assigned a percentage value based upon the degree of flood
susceptibility of the proposed development. For example, there is a 39%
risk that a development within the 100 yr. flood line would be damaged over'
a 50 year period.
STORM EVENT
A Storm Event is defined as a rainfall event where the amount of rain that
falls is measured as opposed to the volume of runoff.
FLOOD EVENT
A Flood Event is based upon the measurement or calculation of the volume of
runoff or peak flow that results from any given rainfall or snowmelt. It
should be noted, for example, that a IS year storm event does not
necessarily produce a IS year flood event.
B-442
- 19 -
REGIONAL STORM
The Regional Storm is the storm used for regulation purposes as defined by
the Authority.
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has defined the
Regional Storm for the valleys as that storm which is based on the rainfall
that fell during Hurricane Hazel.
The Regional Storm utilized for the waterfront is that combination of high
water, wind set up and wave uprush that produces the Regional Flood. The
Regional Storm for the waterfront is based on a 1:100 year event.
REGIONAL FLOOD
The Regional Flood is the flood elevation that is produced by the runoff
that results from rainfall as defined by the Regional Storm.
The Regional Flood for the waterfront is the flood elevation produced by
the Regional Storm for the waterfront.
100 YEAR FLOOD
This is the flood that based on historical data occurs on the average
once in 100 years. It is based on peak flows as opposed to rainfall
amounts.
SPILL ZONE
Spill Zone is defined as an area where the valley is ill defined resulting
in a broad, uncontained exit fox flood waters. As a result, it is
difficult to accurately determine the limit or depth of flooding.
DAMAGE CENTRE
A damage centre is an existing developed area that is susceptible to loss
of life and/or property damage as a result of flooding up to the Regional
Flood event. However, due to excessive acquisition costs or the possible
disruptive nature of acquiring existing viable developed areas (damage
centres), continued development or redevelopment (infilling) may be
possible subject to the conditions established by the Authority.
INFILLING
Infilling is defined as development or redevelopment within a damage centre.
FLOOD DAMAGE REDUCTION MEASURES
Flood Damage Reduction Measures have been defined as, "any combination of
structural and non-structural additions, change or adjustments to existing
flood vulnerable structures which reduce or eliminate flood damage to real
estate or improved real property, water and sanitary facilities, structures
and their contents."
HAZARD LANDS
Hazard lands are those lands which due to their susceptibility to flooding
or unstable slopes or soils are considered to be hazardous if developed
upon.
CHANNEL
A channel is a natural stream that conveys waterl a ditch or channel
excavated for the flow of water.
WATERSHED AREA
All land and water within the confines of a drainage divide.

Meeting #3/80 Monday-December-8-l980
FROM: W.A. McLean, Director, Planning and Policy
RE: ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE AND INTERIM MANAGEMENT
- WATER RESOURCE DIVISION
(1) INTERIM MANAGEMENT OF TilE WATER RESOURCE DIVISION
For a period of 14 months, commencing November 1, 1980, the Administrator of the
Water Resource Division has been seconded to the South Nation River Conservation
Authority. During this period the following interim management is recommended:
(a) Administrator
, The Director of Planning and Policy will serve as interim Administrator and
perform the following administrative functions:
- approve short and long term plans and programs of the Division
- review and approve subordinate's budgets
- coordinate Division budget allocation with other Divisions as necessary
- monitor Division expenditures and take corrective action as necessary
- provide guidance and advice to subordinates
- make recommendations on personnel matters respecting the Head, Flood
Control Section, Head, Waterfront Section and Planner
- present the Division's major programs to the Authority, Executive
Committee, Advisory Boards, municipal councils and similar bodies as
required.
(b) Section Heads
The Head of the Flood Control Section and the Head of the Waterfront Section
will be responsible to the Director of Planning and Policy and in addition to
their regular duties, will be responsible for:
- the development of short and long term plans and programs
- ensure implementation of approved plans and programs and monitor progress
against plans
- ensure the integration of the development control function with the flood
control function (Head, Flood Control only)
- set the standards for the flood forecast and warning system (Head, Flood
Control only)
- make recommendations on personnel matters regarding subordinates
- present Division programs and plans as required
- maintain contacts with municipal and provincial staff
- ensure technical assistance for the development control function
- represent the Authority on internal and external committees as required.
( c) Planner
The Planner will be responsible to the Director of Planning and Policy and in
addition to his regular duties will be responsible for the supervision of the
biological staff including:
- development of short and long term plans
- recommendations on personnel matters
- monitoring progress against approved plans.
(d) Development Coordinator
The Development Coordinator will be responsible to the Head, Flood Control
Section. His duties and responsibilities will remain as at present.
(2 ) INTEGRATION OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL FUNCTION
WITH THE WATER RESOURCE STAFF
Prior to the amalgamation of the Flood Control Division and Waterfront Division
into the Water Resource Division, the administration of regulations and
development control was a component of the Flood Control Division. At the time
of amalgamation, in order to permit the restructuring and rebuilding of the
Division's technical capability, the development control function was, on a
temporary basis, placed under the direction of the Director of Planning and
Policy. The Water Resource Division has now been restructured, competent staff
developed and recommendations of the Watershed Plan in place. The
recommendations of the Watershed Plan place greatly increased emphasis on
development control and regulation administration as a flood control measure.
The importance of this function dictates that close relationships be established
P-43 B-469
ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE AND INTERIM MANAGEMENT
- WATER RESOURCE DIVISION PAGE 2
between the planning skills and engineering skills which are required to
implement the intent of the regulatory approach to flood control. An
experienced and capable team of development control planners and enforcement
officers has been developed and these must be fully integrated with the
engineering, technical capability which has been established through the
specialists now in the Flood Control Section.
The objectives in integrating the two functions are as follows:
- to produce information and recommendations for decision with respect to
, regulation administration and development control that are consistent
with program objectives, technically correct and sensitive to the
planning and community issues involved 1
- to enable full participation of all staff involved in Division
technical discussions
_ to provide an organizational structure which will make the most effective
use of staff effort, consultation, filing systems and space, and work space:
_ to reduce the number of staff contacts which applicants for permits must
make.
RECOMMENDATION:
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the Development Control Staff be integrated with the
Flood Control Section of the Water Resource Division, and that for the period of
the Administrator's secondment the Development Coordinator be responsible to the
Head, Flood Control Section, Water Resource Division and that the Development
Coordinator and the Head, Flood Control Section cooperate with the taking of
measures required to achieve the objectives of the integration set out in this
report.

MARKET RESEARCH SURVEY
The purpose of the market research survey is to determine the
nature and scope of the market for which the Authority plans and
develops public facilities, in order that M.T.R.C.A. may plan
for the opportunities and restraints that exist in this community.
The survey must reveal as much as possible about the product and
market. It is recognized that methods of identifying the markets
for each facility can be similar. As a result of the market
research survey, which will include information on product and
pricing, the next step will be to develop a marketing strategy.
Specifically, the survey will provide the basic information on
product and pricing that will enable the Authority to determine
the market strategy which will maximize attendance and/or revenue.
The Consultants and the Authority will agree on reasonable
objectives.
BACKGROUND
Since 1957, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority has provided opportunities for public access to Authority
lands for recreational, educational and heritage conservation
purposes.

MARKETING RESEARCH PROPOSAL
FOR
THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
Background
Over the past eight months a number of discussions have
been held by Woods Gordon with the Information and Education Division,
with regard to the Conservation Areas, Black Creek Pioneer Village and
the Kortright Centre. It has been agreed that there is a need to define
the existing and potential markets better and to provide the data on
which an improved marketing strategy can be based.
Marketing Research Plan
The information which will provide the basis for fuller
understanding of the market and an improved marketing strategy will
include:
- an evaluation of non users to obtain some understanding of
why they do not visit the Authority's facilities
- greater definition of current users, their attitudes and
interests
Research and analysis will be conducted in three phases
as indicated below. The year round activities of the Conservation Areas
will be taken into account in planning the research:
1) Assessment of all relevant existing data and analysis of the
range of facilities currently available in different
locations. On the basis of these discussions specific
objectives will be agreed upon and a detailed plan prepared.
2) Focus group discussions will be carried out to improve our
understanding of why certain people are users and others are not.
In addition findings from the group discussions will assist in
the development of a structured research study of current
visitors as described below.
B-478
- 2 -
3) Carry out a survey of current visitors to Black Creek
Pioneer VIllage t the Conservation Areas and the Kortright
Centre for Conservation and collect appropriate datat
taking into consideration seasonal activities. The
precise approach will be based on the market survey
procedures in the Terms of Reference and would be
developed in consultation with the Information and
Education Division and the Staff Marketing Committee.
The approach would be influenced by the findings of the
focus groups. At this juncture we visualize that the
following information would be included in the survey
questionnaire. This includes many of the questions used
in the 1979 study with some additional elements that are
felt to be important.
- origin of visitor party
- day and time of visit
- first visit or repeat
- if first visitt source of information
- number of members in visitor party
- age profile of members of visitor party
- characteristics of head of visitor party:
- age
- sex
- income
- occupation
- education
Activities Undertaken by Visitor Party
- did members in the visitor party:
- swim
- fish
- picnic
- use various facilities
- engage in any of the activities sponsored by MTRCA
- etc.
- length of stay
Type of Visit
- is the visitor party on a:
- day trip outing
- weekend overnight trip
- longer vacation
Visitor Reaction to Various Aspects at Conservation Area
- perceptual information regarding visitors' reaction to:
- facilities
- activities
- pricing
B-479
- 3 -
Other Leisure-Related Activities
- doe~ anyone in visitor party:
- engage in artistic pursuits (painting, crafts, etc.)
- engage in organized sports
- engage in outdoor recreation (hiking, canoeing, etc.)
- etc.
- what other areas has visitor party been to:
- other Conservation Areas
- provincial or national parks
- private campgrounds
- museums/art galleries, etc.
- etc.
Conclusions and Recommendations
The research data will provide an assessment of the
current facilities in terms of the attitudes of users and non-users. Our repor.
will include descriptions of the various target groups. We will also comment
on the product available and indicate considerations that should be
given to the development of the product mix. Based on the results of
the survey and consideration of similar attractions available in the
region we will comment on the pricing structure.
With this information, it will be possible for the MTRCA to develop a
marketing strategy, which would be the foundation for an improved
marketing plan in 1982.
During the process of analysis of the data, close
consultation will be maintained with the Information and Education
Division so that data can be used on a preliminary basis for planning
during the Fall of 1981. An interim report for internal use will be
prepared in September 81 with a final report due one month after the
.
completion of all analysis estimated at present to be December.
B-480

Timing and Budget
Following approval to proceed, Woods Gordon will
.
require 12 months for data collection, as described herein, and
one month for reporting. Total costs will not exceed $24,000.
