SCHEDULE IIAII A-ll
REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN
to the
16TH ANNUAL MEETING
of
THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
Friday, February 4, 1972
The conservation movement in Ontario, as represented by
Conservation Authorities, began with the passing of The
Conservation Authorities Act in 1943. In 1944, Arthur
Herbert Richardson became Chief Conservation Engineer,
and guided the progress of the Conservation Authorities
Branch until his retirement in 1961. It is with a sense
of deep personal loss that I record the passing of Herbert
Richardson on Monday, December 27th, 1971. Often referred
to as the Father of Conservation in Ontario, he became the
first Chairman of the Authority in 1957 and turned over the
Chairmanship to G. Ross Lord in February, 1958.
Dr. Richardson had an outstanding scholastic career,
receiving an M.A. from McMaster followed by forestry degrees
from Harvard and the University of Toronto. In 1962, he was
granted the Honorary Degree of LL.D. from McGill University.
In twenty-two years prior to 1942 he was the Forester-in-
Charge of Reforestation with the Ontario Department of
Lands and Forests. He has been honoured many times in recent
years by having buildings and beach areas in conservation
projects named after him.
Well-known and highly respected for his ability as an author,
he started as editor of the McMaster Monthly in student days
and was editor of the IIForestry Chroniclell for its first ten
years. He founded and edited for nine years "Our Valleyll,
the official publication of the Conservation Branch of the
Ontario Department of Planning and Development. The many
conservation reports of the Conservation Branch stand as
monumental evidence of the planning and achievements of the
j
conservation movement whose prime mover he was.
A-12 -2-
For several years he had been writing a book on the story of
conservation in Ontario, which he entitled "Conservation by the
People". He turned over the manuscript for publication shortly
before his death.
Dr. Richardson, a lifelong giant in conservation, was active to
the last and attended his final meeting as a member of our
Historical sites Advisory Board on November 12th, 1971.
He is survived by his wife, Winnifred, and daughter Catherine,
to whom we send our sincerest sympathy.
In his annual report to this Authority in February, 1958,
Herbert Richardson, in speaking of Heart Lake, quoted from
Henry David Thoreau:
"A lake is a landscape's most beautiful and expressive
feature. It is the earth's eye; looking into which the
beholder measures the depth of his own nature. The
fluviatile trees next to the shore are the slender eye-
lashes which fringe it, and the wooded hills and cliffs
around it are its overhanging brows.1I
And in the same report, while discussing the value to the
Authority of properties such as Heart Lake, Boyd and Greenwood
(which were preserved by three outstanding conservationists)
he said:
"These three men were all conservationists. They
acquired these lands, protected and improved them and
when the opportunity came were prepared to transfer them
to a municipally-controlled conservation group for use of
future generations. Or perhaps they should be grouped
with those of whom the prophet Joel wrote: 'Your old men
shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions'
and saw into the future when these properties which they
had cherished over the years, instead of being absorbed
by the throbbing life of urban expansion, should be
retained as oases of peace for those who toil in the city,
so that in the years to come these valleys might echo
with the laughter of children, young people could witness
the ever-recurring miracle of spring, and parents enjoy
the solace of nature for tired bodies and minds. II
Such was Arthur Herbert Richardson, a man who dreamed dreams
and saw visions and left this world a better place for his
having lived and worked in it.

THE FOUNDATION
While the economic environment in Canada during 1971 was
depressed, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Foundation made excellent progress. The exhibit at the
Canadian National Sportsmen's Show, which was sponsored by the
Royal Bank of Canada, attracted 100,000 viewers. The
Foundation had assisted wherever possible in the development
of Black Creek pioneer Village which had 246,251 visitors in
1971, together with 65,482 pioneer Village school children's
tours and over 10,000 participants in the pioneer Life
Programme. The three Conservation Field Centres, built largely
by funds raised by the Foundation, have been responsible for the
education in outdoor science of in excess of 50,000 students and
teachers.
A campaign will be launched early in 1972 which it is anticipated
will raise the funds necessary to make the Environmental Studies
Centre in the Boyd Area a reality, and the constitution of a
fourth Field Centre to be established in the same area. The
support of members of the Authority would be appreciated in this
campaign. It is expected that a goal of $1,000,000 will have
been established in the period between the inception of the
Foundation and the end of 1972. To Mr. Elgin Card, Chairman,
and his co-workers on the Foundation, we express our sincere
thanks and hearty congratulations for their devotion and
substantial achievements.
HISTORIC SITES
The Black Creek pioneer Village continues to enrich the
cultural life of young and older in the Metropolitan area.
Thousands of tourists and many more thousands of residents
swelled the 1971 attendance to 246,251. The vision of the
Advisory Board and the dedication and integrity of the staff
are paying rich dividends in a growing public approval of
this living pioneer village!
That it is a living village can be borne out by the activities
of the village staff who produced 713 items of bread, cakes,
jams, pickles, spices and herbs which were s~ld to eager
visitors. The village seamstress made and sold 70 bonnets,
A-14 -4-
and 237 dolls. Blacksmith Norm Rose made and sold 90 forks,
44 pokers, 18 fireplace sets, 140 hooks and 4,050 rings! In
addition, the mill ground out flour at a steady pace.
The village is living too, because it is the home of animals:
4 horses, 4 oxen, I cow, 7 sheep, II cochin chickens, 6
Canada geese, 13 Chinese geese, 13 Muscovy ducks, 9 Bramah
chickens, 13 Guinea fowl, 4 White Rock hens, 9 Bantams, 8
Karbi Campbell and I ram. with all of this activity and life,
is it any wonder that we call it "a living pioneer village"?
Further, the most encouraging part of the whole village life
is the visitation and participation of the school children.
Regular educational tours of the village were enjoyed by
65,482 children during 1971. In addition, 10,991 children
participated in the pioneer LIfe Programme which was carried
out with the teaching assistance of 14 members of the
Junior League.
The village has always been assisted by interested people
who donate priceless artifacts and during the year 107
individuals donated 1,440 articles. The Garden Club of
Metropolitan Toronto continued its support in providing
shrub and tree plantings in and around the village, and these
plantings are now enhancing the entire setting of thi~
beautiful place. The 1971 contribution of the Garden Club
brings to $50,000 their support of this project, and on behalf
of the Authority, I express our sincere appreciation to the
Garden Club for this lasting gift.
The village has received excellent publicity from radio and
TV on over 36 different occasions. In addition, over 34
photographic uses of village settings were reproduced in
various publications. Two outstanding examples of events
produced at the village were the Dofqsco Christmas Concert
of 1971 which was telecast across Canada, and the CFRB
Christmas Service from the Fisherville Church.
A great deal of the credit for the development and the quality
of the pioneer Village is due the Historical sites Advisory
Board and Dorothy Hague. Chairman of that Board. It is,
therefore, with very considerable regret that I record that
Mrs. Hague is retiring from the Authority as of today. No
,
one has made a greater contribution to conservation in the
Metro region than has Dorothy Hague. Appointed to the Humber
Authority in 1954, she attended her first meeting on February
18 r.1'. 0 f i:}iat year 0 She was elected to the Executive Committee
-5- A-15
of the Humber in 1956, as Chairman of the Pollution Advisory
Board. When this Authority was formed in 1957, Mrs. Hague
was a founding member, was elected Chairman of the Historical
Sites Advisory Board, and has held that position until today.
During these past fifteen years she has nurtured the planning
and development of the pioneer Village with the loving concern
of a mother for her child. There is no part of the Village
that does not bear the touch of Dorothy Hague. Always
jealous of its basic traditions and a staunch fighter for
its financial rights, she has guided its fortunes wisely,
firmly, and with kindly concern. Always a lady, while at
the same time politically astute, Dorothy Hague has made a
contribution to this Authority for which we thank her
sincerely. May she long continue to be a part of our
conservation family.
THE RIVER VALLEYS
There are four Watershed Advisory Boards who maintain a
watching brief on our river valleys. These boards are the
Humbe r , Etobicoke-Mimico, Don and R.D.H.P. They are perhaps
the unsung workers of our establishment. They do not build
dams or plan recreation or educate the young or preserve
historic sites, but they do watch the health of their
valleys. They provide the function of local watch dogs
for conservation and many times warn the Authority of
encroachments and the increase of pollution so that remedial
measures can be taken.
On our eastern border, the R.D.H.P. Advisory Board has been
active over the years and C. R. Purcell has been the dogged
Chairman of that Board. I say IIdoggedll because he has
always been a tenacious. guardian of conservation in the east
of the Authority Region. As long as C. R. Purcell was on
the job, it was impossible to forget the needs of the areas
east of the Don. It is, therefore, fitting that we pay
tribute to C. R. Purcell, who is retiring from the Authority
today. Appointed by the Township of Scarborough to the
original R.D.H.P. Authority in 1954, he was elected by
acclamation to the Chairmanship of that Authority. Upon
the founding of the Metro Authority in 1957, he became a
founding member and was elected Chairman of the R.D.H.P.
Advisory Board, which position he has held ever since. As
a well informed conservationist and redoubtable champion of
A-16 -6-
of the east, we thank C. R. Purcell for his constant devotion
to the interests of the Authority. We know that he will
always remain a staunch member of the conservation family.
LAND
As I have often said, and most conservationists agree with me,
land is our real wealth. Give us the land and we have the basic
tool of conservation. with adequate land holdings, we can take
take care of people, plant trees, develop recreation, conserve
wild life, control pollution and preserve nature for future
generations.Given inadequate land holdings, an Authority faces
over-use, unhappy people and declining natural resources. I am
happy to say that the Authority has been able to add substantially
to its land ownership during the year.
In 1971, 89 properties were acquired with a total acreage of
1,026. This brings our total holdings to 1,246 properties
comprising 21,590 acres. It is interesting to note that on our
newest project - the waterfront - 42 properties comprising
28.14 acres have already been acquired, not including the filled
land. There are, of course, a large number of properties in the
negotiation stage, many of which will be acquired in 1972.
The Property Division has effectively carried out all of the
routine administration management required in connection with
agreements, easements, taxes, leases, rentals and insurance of
Authority owned lands.
CONSERVATION LAND MANAGEMENT
The conservation areas, of which there are 12 open, continue to
fulfill a much needed role of conservation recreation and their
popularity was such that some of them are suffering a little
from over use and will require rejuvenating. It is planned
to carry out this work on a scheduled basis during the next 5
years. Attendance at the areas paints an interesting picture:
Albion Hills 215,825
Black Creek 246,251
Boyd 282,235
Bruce's Mill 219,450
Claireville 131,537
Claremont 26,641
Cold Creek 47,471
Glen Haffy 53,721
Greenwood 71,882

Humber Trails 5,299
Lower Rouge 38,907
Palgrave 12,935
woodbridge 31,908
1,555,672
-7- A-17
The total attendance during 1970 was 1,622,440. The slight
reduction in 1971 can be attributed to several cold, ~t
~ek-ends during July and August.
winter use of ~he areas is steadily increasing and amounted
to over 166,000 during the year. The maple syrup operation
at Bruce's Mill attracted an astonishing 41,723 people, and
in addition 6,961 school children on guided tours.
The main items of new development in the areas ~re at
Claireville and the Milne areas. At Claireville, the new
modern entrance from Highway No. 7 was completed and the
trailer campsite is being brought along for partial opening
in the summer of 1972. The campsite will accommodate 150
trailers, each in a landscaped setting with water supply,
sewer dumping facilities, electricity and conveniently located
washrooms. This project will make available a much needed
visitor accommodation which has been almost entirely lacking
within the region.
At the Milne Area, tree planting, a parking lot, service
building and some beach have been completed prior to an opening
in June of this year.
In addition to the administration of our conse~vation areas,
many conservation services have been carried out such as. the
planting of 190,000 tr~es and 6,000 shrubs, placing of 5,000
brook trout"purchase of 16,000 trout for Glen Haffy,
completion of 4 private land plans for owners and many other items.
INFORMATION AND EDUCATION
These days one hears, when discussing a company, a society or
a conservation authority, references to its public image.
This is a term which can have mixed meanings in some cases.
In the case of a given company it may convey the idea of
developing a feeling of public acceptance and approbation for
its products in spite of the fact that those products are not
fulfilling a real public need and may not even be ~ll made and
durable. However, in a democratic society, any successful
endeavour must, in the long run, have public support. If the
works of an authority are sound and of lasting benefit to
people, this fact should be made known. In this sense, the
'public image' of the authority has never been better than at the
present time and ~ o~ this situation in very large measure
to the Information and Education Advisory Board and the staffo
Their public information service is carried out in many
interesting ways.
A-18 -8-
During the year over 18 types of maps, pamphlets and guides
were printed to the number of 410,350. This material formed
a necessary part of supplying information to prospective
visitors and ~hose who came to the areas.
There were 23 tours and special days attended by 14,089 people
with an additional 47,139 taking part in the maple syrup
operations at Bruce's Mill and Albion Hills. Two outstanding
special events were the Family Day at Cold Creek which
attracted 4,000 parents and children, and the pioneer Festival
t
with 6,800 present.
There were 18 exhibits placed during the year, with the most out-
standing one being that at the Canadian National Sportsman's
Show, sponsored by the Royal Bank. Radio and television
st~tions continued to give us excellent coverage and the sixty
second film shorts displayed by most TV stations (even one in
Buffalo) served to keep our friends informed regarding summer
and winter activities and life at pioneer Village. Press
coverage was excellent throughout the year.
The most impressive part of the Informati.on and Education
activity is undoubtedly the programme on natural science and
outdoor education directed toward young people of upper
public and lower high school ages. The magnitude and the
importance of this undertaking cannot be overshadowed by any
of our other projects. It is with these young people that
our hopes for a bright conservation future rest and they are
picking up the challenge with intelligence and enthusiasm.
The heart of the programme is located in our Conservation Field
Centres at Albion Hills, Claremont and Cold Creek, which were
built largely from donations made possible by the Metropolitan
Toronto and Region' Conservation Foundation.
In addition, educational programmes were carried out through
guided tours of students at the pioneer Village and through
the pioneer Life Programme at the Village.
The magnitude of the educational programme is best summarized
by the following table:

longer periods.
FLOOD CONTROL
As a consequence of Hurricane Hazel which caused so much havoc
and loss of life in the Metro region in 1954, the Authority
planned and commenced a flood control project which began in 1961.
This project was to last ten years and cost $38 million. Due to
escalating land and construction costs, the Plan could not be
completed by 1971. Now we have embarked upon an Extension of
the Flood Control Plan known as W.C. 63. This project has
received all approvals and is designed to accomplish the
following works from 1971 to 1975:
- Construction of the Finch Dam and Reservoir
- Completion of the final design and engineering for the
Bolton Dam and Reservoir
- Completion of the land acquisition for the Finch Reservoir
- Completion of the land acquisition for the Bolton Reservoir
- Continue the land acquisition for the Ebenezer Reservoir
_ complete the acquisition of reservoir lands for which
specific commitments have been made
_ Completion of final engineering for the Arthur Percy Dam
and Reservoir
- Completion of the land acquisition for the Arthur Percy
Reservoir
A-20 -10-
- Completion of the land acquisition for the Snelgrove
Reservoir
_ Continuation of a programme of flood plain and
conservation land acquisition within the limits of the
Master Plan adopted by the Authority on February 9,
1962, and approved by the Province of ontario August 20,
1962.
The projected costs are as follows:
Adjustment of grants $1,056,250
Large Dams and Reservoirs 7,855,450
Reservoir, Flood Plain and
Conservation Lands and
Engineering for Small Dams
and Reservoirs 5,459,776
Total $14,371,476
The largest job in the project for 1972 will be the construction
of the Finch Dam, the contract for which has been awarded to
Armstrong Bros. Construction company Limited for a general
contract bid of $3,416,524.25.
This dam is located on the West Branch of the Don River, just
above Finch Avenue and near Dufferin Street. The dam will have
a maximum height of about 70 feet and will retain a lake of
220 acres at top level. A permanent lake of 40 acres will be
retained for conservation purposes. The total acreage of the
area will be 375, providing useful recreational possibilities
in addition to the flood control and conservation features.
other Water Control projects are:
W.c. 56 Erosion control and channel improvements on the
Rouge River at the new zoo site, which are
virtually complete
W.C. 57 Channel improvements on the Mimico Creek at Malton,
designed to alleviate flooding in the town. This
contract valued at $330,679 was awarded late in the
year to Consentino Construction Company Limited
W.C. 58 Erosion control and channel improvements on the West
Branch of the Don River from Finch Avenue to
Bathurst Street. The contract was awarded to
Dineen Construction Company and the job is 20%
completed.
W.C. 65 Erosion control and channel improvements - Highland
Creek between Markham Road and Lawrence Avenue,
which job is 100% completed.
W.C. 67 Channel improvements on the West Humber River at
Highway 27. The engineering design has been
completed and work will commence in 1972 after the
necessary approvals have been obtained.
Four other small projects are under study and will be submitted
for approval during 1972.

THE WATERFRONT
As you will recall, the Authority was designated by The
Honourable George A. Kerr, Q.C., on November 23, 1970, as the
implementing agency for the development of the waterfront from
Pickering to the Credit with the exception of the centre core
of the City of Toronto. Mr. Albert Campbell, Chairman of
Metropolitan Toronto Council, was elected the first Chairman
of the Waterfront Advisory Board and held this position until
the Authority Annual Meeting in February of 1971. Since Mr.
Campbell decided to retire from the Authority, Mr. Fred A.
Wade was elected Chairman of the Waterfront Advisory Board at
the Annual Meeting. A task force composed of senior technical
staff of the Authority, Metro, Boroughs, Government of
ontario and the Harbour Commission was set up to study and
propose plans for the lake front development. Advisory Board
and Task Force have held many meetings, diligently pursued
studies, proposed developments and carried out actual contracts.
The main works proposed during 1971 were as follows:
Project W.F.I - A project for the acquisition and development of
the Mimico Creek Waterfront Area, involving the
creation of approximately 14 acres of new land
by filling in Lake ontario using 700,000 cubic
yards of clean excavated material, and
the construction of boat launching, parking and
recreational facilities. This work progressed
rapidly during the year and by the end of 1971
nine acres of new land had been created in the
lake. A mutually advantageous agreement has been made
with the Toronto Harbour Commissioners to
engineer and supervise this project and other
similar projects in the Plan.
Project W.F.2 - A project for the acquisition and development of
the Ashbridge's Bay Waterfront Area, involving
the obtaining of 17 acres of publicly owned land
plus the required Crown land waterlots in the
area, for public recreation. This project
requires completion of the launching ramp and
parking facility, design of the storm sewer
extension, installation of traffic signals, and
construction of a new intersection at Coxwell
Avenue and Lakeshore Boulevard. The launching
ramp is now under construction. All parties
concerned are cooperating to facilitate the rapid
progress of the project.
A-22 -12-
Project W.F.3 - A p~oject for the acquisition and development of
properties in the pickering/Ajax Sector, Water-
front Plan, involving the obtaining of 0.641 acres
of land as part of a land acquisition programme
in the pickering/Ajax Sector. To date, four
properties have been acquired containing 0.641
acres.
Project W.F.3A- A project for the acquisition and development of
lands in the pickering/Ajax Sector, Waterfront
Plan (extension No. 1) involving the obtaining
of approximately 576 acres of land in this
sector to provide an opportunity to link
conservation objectives closely with the
development of recreational opportunities.
Thirty-five properties were purchased during the
year with a total of 8.782 acres.
Project W.F.4 - A project for the acquisition and development
of the Scarborough Bluffs Waterfront Area,
Phase I (Brimley Road Ravine) involving the
assembly and creation of a 36 acre park and
recreational area, with associated waterfront
facilities, and acquisition of waterfront property
which requires urgent erosion control, and fhe
creation of over two acres of new land by filling,
using clean excavated material. During the
year, 125,000 cubic yards of material were placed
creating 1.9 acres of land.
While the above work was in progress, the Advisory Board and
the Task Force were busy preparing a Five year Plan for
Lakefront Development. This Plan was approved by the Task
Force, the Waterfront Advisory Board and the Executive committee
and is now before you today for Authority approval.
The Five Year Plan is to cost $20,000,000 spread over five years~
It includes work to be done on 16 sites in the five different
sectors of the waterfront administered by the Authority between
1972 and 1976. These works are intended to be the first half of
a ten year plan which will be presented in outline later this
year. The details of the work to be done in the second five
years will be presented sometime before 1976.
-13- A-23
Under the five year programme, the waterfront is divided into
five sectors with $5.1 million to be spent on the Etobicoke
section, $2.4 million on the Western Beaches section, $1.3 million
on the Eastern Beaches section, $6.2 million on the Scarborough
section and $4.2 million on the Pickering/Ajax section. A total
of $750,000 will be spent on research studies and monitoring
of water quality.
In the Etobicoke section, the Mimico Creek area (mentioned above
I
as W.F.l) will be further developed to include picnic areas,
boat launching ramps, and other facilities. A second site is the
I
Humber Bay area, which will be developed after completing the
Mimico land fill, to create 33 acres of new land plus 11 acres
of land to be acquired. This will provide a spit-like formation
adjacent to the Humber suitable for boating and other water-based
activities.
A third site will be at the westerly Filtration Plan and will
consist of a corridor of land extending south from Lakeshore
Boulevard near Kipling Avenue, to the lake, together with a
water lot area proposed for landfill. Fill operations will be
carried out to form an off-shore island park for water-based
recreation. Finally, it is proposed to extend the boundaries
of Marie Curtis Park by acquiring land from the Department of
National Defense and the ontario Water Resources Commission.
In the Western Beaches sector sites from the Humber River to
Dufferin street will be improved. In the Eastern Beaches
sector, at Ashbridge's Bay, 19 acres of land are to be created.
In the Scarborough section, 4 sites along the Bluffs will be
improyed, Bluffers Park (Brimley Road fill), Needles Bluffs area,
Sylvan Park area and Guilqwood Inn waterfront.
In the Pickering/Ajax section, where the Authority already owns
a,substantial amount of property adjacent to the lakeshore,
access will be developed to Petticoat Creek area, Frenchman's Bay
\ area will be expanded and Duffin's Creek area developed.
This is an ambitious programme, but since the Authority is
responsible for the development of 30 of the 50 miles covered
by the Metro Waterfront Plan, it must seek to imp~ove the
accessibility of the shoreline and its related recreational
facilities for area residents. The Plan covers a length extending
from Ajax in the east to Clarkson in the west, with a 12 mile
A-24 -14-
western sector ~nder the control of the Credit Valley Conservation
Authority, and an 8 mile central harbour area controlled by the
Toronto Harbour Commissioners and the city of Toronto.
The required financing of $4 million per year for the Metro
Authority share of the work is modest and prudent in view of the
magnitude of the task. It is to be hoped that the governments
concerned will back us financially in this endeavour.
WINTER WORKS
The Authority has undertaken, in cooperation with the Government of
Ontario, to carry out the most extensive winter works programme in
its history. The cost of the programme will be $426,488 and will
cover 27 projects aimed largely at improving the facilities within
several conservation areas and beginning construction work on the
flood plain lands. The funds for the programme will be provided
partly by the Department of Municipal Affairs ($349,741) and by
the Department of the Environment ($76,747). It is interesting to
note that $348,762 will be spent for wages and only $43,856 for
equipment and materials. Work began in December and will run
through until March, with some continuing until the end of May.
Workers are being hired from unemployed persons in the work areas
and some 157 persons are expected to be taken on.
The type of work included under the programme ranges from removing
trees from future reservoir areas to cutting down dead elms on
flood plain lands, repairing gabion walls, sodding campsites, and
reforestation of newly acquired lands.
Members of the Executive Committee have attended 23 meetings of the
Committee, while there have been 6 meetings of the Authority and
over 30 meetings of Boards and Sub-Committees. All members have
given diligent service to the Authority and contributed of their
special talents as often as required. Mr. Grant Henderson has been
an ever present tower of strength as Vice-Chairman and deserves our
heartfelt thanks.
We have continued to receive strong support from all of our
constituent municipalities and the measure of cooperation and
support from this sector has never been stronger.
The Honourable George Ao Kerr, Q.C., Minister of the Environment,
has provided strong leadership to all conservation authorities in
the Province and his capable staff were always ready to give sound
advice and support at the provincial level.
-15- A-25
The conservation authorities movement in Ontario is a very unique
und~ rt aking . It is the first of its kind in the world, so far
as I know. The . strength of the movement has been in the
initiative and achievement required of the local people in the
watersheds. The movement has grown and thrived over the years
and now enjoys a prosperity and acceptance which should be
preserved at all costs. Any proposed change in the provincial
administration of conservation should not destroy the present
environment of citizen initiative and local achievement. Should
,
these precious-things be supplanted, I doubt that the conservation
movement would continue to grow in its present healthful state.
To the staff of the Authority we again express our sincere
thanks and appreciation. They have risen to every challenge
and performed with keenness and determination. It has been a
very real pleasure for me to work with them as Chairman.
THE FUTURE
When I arrived at this point in my report, a member of the staff
was asked what should be said. She replied IIIf we do as well in
the future as we have done in the past, we shall have little of
which to be ashamedll.
It is true that the Authority has a record of achievement in flood
control, land management, conservation areas, recreation and
natural science education. The stresses of our times require
that we continue and expand our efforts in the future. But,
as G. K. Chesterton has said:
IIWhat is the use of redoubling our efforts if we have
forgotten our goal".
What should our goals be for the next twelve years? Well, we
have a flood control plan to complete and a potentially
beautiful lake front to develop. with a population of 2.2 millions
growing at the rate of 70 thousand per year, we must continue
to acquire land and develop conservation areas. We must continue
our fight to preserve the valleys and protect the slopes from
erosion. The fight for air and water pollution control has only
begun and the Authority must remain in the forefront of the battle.
In addition to all of these immediate concerns, we must concern
ourselves with every worthwhile movement to enhance the quality
of life in the great Metropolitan Region. Given the calibre
A-26 -16-
of people who are working for conservation and the kind of
financial support received from governments, I am confident that
the future is bright in the conservation field.

A-243
I N T ROD U C T ION
In January 1962, as a result of overlap of responsibilities, increased work
load related to implementation of the plan for Flood Control and Water
Conservation, and a need to clarify the chain of com mand, changes were
made in the organization of the permanent service establishment of the Authority
to create Divisions.
Staff of the Information and Education Division included a part-time
Administrator, Technical Assistant - Naturalist and a Technical Assistant -
Information. Later in 1962, a full time secretary was assigned to the
Division. The permanent service was supplemented by four Educational
Assistants assigned to the Black Creek Pioneer Village and some student
naturalists who guided both school classes and the public on nature trails from
May to August.
Currently the permanent service establishment of the Information and
Education Division includes 20 employees, supplemented by approximately
100 Educational Assistants on casual staff, many working part-time from five
to ten months of the year.
During the past ten years, certain sections of the Division developed and the
responsibilities for these areas of work ha ve not been redefined and in s om e
cases sufficient staff have not been provided to adequately carry out Authority
policy.
The staff in charge of the general and Historical interpretive programmes,
specifically, the Technical Assistant - Naturalist and Technical Assistant -
Education are now assigned at least as much responsibility as the Supervis ore
of the Conservation Field Centres. Their duties have therefore been
A-244 -2-
redefined and their salary levels are recom mended for appropriate adjustments.
Conservation Education Instructors were assigned to the residential
Conservation Field Centres as a result of vast increases in the numbers of
student teachers during approximately 25 weeks of the y"ear. Their full time
services are not required at the Field Centres during the remainder of the
year. In order to strengthen the general interpretive programme of the
Authority through the permanent establishment, it is recom mended that the
Conservation Education Instructors be assigned to the Conservation Education
Supervis or in charge of general interpretation and reassigned to the
Conservation Field Centres when required.
The need to increase visitations through publicity in a growing and diverse
programme in the Conservation Areas, at Black Creek Pioneer Village, and
in the Conservation Education programmes, is apparent. There is a
continuing need to inform the public through the entire media, of the vastly
increasing and diverse activities of the Authority, if the Authority is to have
continued public support. The requirements for progress photos on Authority
projects is growing rapidly. It is now apparent that there is inadequate
staff to carry out an effective information programme. It has become obvious
that information operations are most effective when co-ordinated at the
Authority Office. This has been proven during the past year when a
representative of the Ontario Editorial Bureau spends a specific amount of
time each week at the Authority headquarters. This move to bring day to
day information operations into the Authority Office in no way lessens the need
for public relations counsel. At the present time, the Authority retainer to
the Ontario Editorial Bureau is almost completely consumed by providing day
to day routine services by relatively inexperienced staff rather than providing
general counsel, effective liaison with the media by more s eni or pe ople in the
-3- A-245
Bureau. It is recommended that the Authority maintain outside public
relations counsel at this time and that details be as set forth in the
Position Description -- Public Relations Consultant on Page 5b of this

APPENDIX II A-259
TO: The Personnel Sub-Committee
Date: April 4, 1972
RE: REVIEW OF ENFORCEMENT OFFICER POSITION
Pursuant to direction from the Personnel Sub-Committee
a committee consisting of E.F. Sutter, T.E. Barber and P.B. Flood
has held two meetings to review the functioning of the present
positions "Enforcement Officer" and "General Duty Officer. In
addition to the meetings, advice was sought from other Administrators
and individual comments from the Officers concerned were also
solicited.
The general consensus with regard to these two positions
appears to be as follows:
1. The workload for the present Enforcement Officer appears
to be disproportionately heavy and this load will be
increasing as regulations are extended to cover the
Waterfront area;
2. The position "General Duty Officer" appears to present
the most problems and was, in fact, difficult to justify
as a separate position within the Authority Establishment.
RECOMMENDATIONS
A. ~T Position Description #20 - General Duty Officer, be
deleted from the Personnel Policy;
B. THAT Personnel Regulation #19 - Permanent Service Establishment
Flood Control & Water Conservation, be amended to read
"Enforcement Officer - 2" .
,
C. THAT Position Description #18 - Enforcement Officer, be
amended to add the following duties:
-Provide transportation for special visitors as required
by the Authority and the Conservation Foundation;
- Provide transportation for Authority members and guests to
Authority functions as directed;
-Provide special despatch services for the Authority as may
be required from time to time.
.....Cont.
A-260 -2-
D. The following duties formerly performed by the General
Duty Officer be re-assigned by the General Office &
Accounts Division as may be most appropriate:
-Provide weekly transportation of student teachers to
and from Conservation Field Centres;
-Deliver Conservation Area brochures to Areas and distribute
brochures to various display outlets;
-Deliver uniforms from Authority Office for distribution to
members of the Field Staff;
-pick up and return Conservation Area equipment for maintenance
and servicing;
-Read hydro meters at Conservation Areas and stream gauge
stations;
-Record mileage distances from Authority offices to
Conservation Areas;
-Assist with security arrangements for Authority Administration
headquarters.
Eo THAT the side arms formerly carried by the Patrol Officers be
disposed of by the Authority.
Fo THAT these proposed changes take effect immediately.

REORG.A.NlZATION TO '!'HE
FINANCE .~ ADMINISTRATICN ~IVISION
INTRODUCTION
The responsibility for financial, accounting and
administrative functions of the Authority has been over the
last number of years the responsibility of the Deputy-Treasurer
and the general area of organi?ation been :oosely termed .Office
and Accounts. Division.
It has become apparent, however, that this Division
has never actually been recorded as such in the Personnel
Regulations. As the functions of this area of responsibility
have expanded in recent years, there has become a necessity to
define both the terms of referenc~ and the organi?ation necessary
to effect these functions.
The title, job descriptions and recommended salary
levels of the proposed organizatlon ~f the ~ivision are appended
to this report.
.
TITLE
The current name of the Division, 'Office & Accounts'
is not considered to adequately define the present responsibilities
involved. The 'office functions' were recently transferred to
the Property Division anc a more realistic title of 'Finance and
Administration' Division is ~ecommended.
The responsibilities of this Division have been assiqned
to the .Deputy-Treasurer", this title being required to be used
for signing purposes regarding legal documents and official.,
correspond~ce with the Provincial Government. It is considered
that in order to align this position with those 9f the other
Administrators of the Authority that the ti tl e be amended to read
Deputy-Treasurer and/or Administrator of the Finance and Admin-
istration Division and that the appropriate designation be used
according to the type of document signed.
TERMS OF REFERENCE
The responsibilities of the 'Finance and AdministratiOD'
Division are set out in detail in the job descriptions attached
to this report and briefly cover finance, budg et t ing , accounts
payable, accounts receivable, financial reporting, auditing,
payroll, personnel administration, insurance (except buildings),
central mailing and duplicating, stationery supplies and the
preparation of all reports, agendas and minutes for Authority,
Executive and Advisory Board meetings.
<
GENERAL ORGANIZATION
In order to perform the above functions as efficiently
and economically as possible, four main sections are recommended
to undertake the major areas of responsibility. They are as
follows:
1. Accounts payable and general accounting
- 2 persons
2. Accounts receivable and financial reporting
- 2 person r:
A-322
- 2 -
3. Payroll and personnel administration
- 2 persons
4. General administration (central mailing
and duplicating, stationery supplies,
preparation of all reports, agenda s and
minu tes, operation of the Authority
switchboard)
- 6 persons
This organization structure, outlining full time
(permanent) staff requirements is considered to meet the
current and anticipated needs of the Division, under the current
system, with additional seasonal staff employed as the occasion
arises to accommodate extra work load in peak periods and in
respect of Goverrunent sponsored incentive programmes (ie. winter
works, S.W.E.E.P.).
It should be noted that the Deputy-Treasurer is
presently undertaking a feasibility study relative to
mechanization of certain financial, accounting and costing
procedures (some of which are at present decentralized
in other Divisions of the Authority) . Further reorganization
necessary to accommodate changes consequent of such mechan-
ization will be submitted at a later date.
ESTABLI SHMENT
The full time (permanent) establishment of the
'Pinance and Administrati':>n' Division is at present -
12 persons, total salary of $97,660.00
It has become necessary to recommend the creation
of two additional positions due to the increased workload,
increased financial reporting services and the transfer of
a major part of financial 'work from the Conservation Land
Management Division and additional workload regarding the
administration of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conser-
vation Foundation. The two additional positions recommended
are that of:
I. Accounting Assistant (Accounts Receivable
and Repo rc ing ) - to coordinate and implement
the Authority's financial reporting system and
to assist in the processing of account receivable
and the undertaking of certain necessary auditing
duties;
2. Secretary - to undertake the secretarial,
filing and general typing services of the
Administrator, Finance and Administration
Division and additional responsibilities
on behalf of The Metropolitan Toronto and
Region Conservation Foundation.
The total staff requirements and, cost of operating
this Division under the proposed structure 'Would be as follows:
14 persons, total salary of $104,5~5.00
requiring a current additional staffing cost of $6,935. to the
Authority, which has been provided for in the 1972 Authority
~~dget Estimates.

RECOMMENDATIONS
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the Di vi sion be restructured
under the direction of the Deputy-Treasurer to be termed the
'Pinance and Administration' Division, and
THAT the title of Deputy-Treasurer be amended to read
Administrator, Finance and Administration Division, and
THAT the title of Deputy-Treasurer be retained with-
in the position description to be used when required, and
THAT two additional positions described above be
incorporated into the full time (pennanent) establishment of
the Authori ty .

IN'l'EGRATION OF PROPOSED
WATERFRONT STAFF IN AUTHORITY
ESTABLISHMENT AND GRAD ING STRUCTURE
It bas been the practice of the Authority in filling many of its
key positions to employ recent graduates from universities and
technical institutions and train them for the positions to be
filled, rather than to employ more experienced persons. '!'his
approach has had many benefits for the Authority, the primary
advantages being:
(a) The employee, during his or her maturing years, develops
attitudes strongly influenced by the aims, objectives and
philosophy of the Authority, and develops a sense of mission
and allegiar.~e to the Authority. This is reflected in the
r--~emelv lo~ r~~e of turnover in technical staff. (The
A..; 334
Waterfront Division 6
average length of service for ten senior technical
positions is 11.4 years and, of these ten positions, five
of the persons filling them began their careers in con-
servation directly following the completion of their
formal education);
(b) It contributes greatly to staff satisfaction because it
permits the employee to grow and develop and, after
relatively short s~rvice, take a responsible position.
(Of the same ten emp:'oyees, the average age is 42.4
years and there are five over 40 and five under 40);
( e) Because the Authority has been steadily expanding, there
have been several opportunities for advancement beyond
the first responsible position taken. Without the
expansion of th~ Authority's work, however, the low
turnover rate would tend to create a very static
\ situation and few opportunities for advancement.
'Staff development wi thi':1 tl.e proposed Waterfront Division
should occur as it has throughout the Authority, mixing
qualified, 'but inexperien~ed recent graduates with more
mature personnel on a 50- 50 basis. In order that staff
development can be orderly and objective, a classification
guide of personnel responsibility has been prepared and
keyed to the grading structure for Authority employees.
This guide repres~mts the levels of responsibility for the
prOpOsed positions in the ))~vision which should be achieved.
'fhe guide is graphically presented in Figure I. .
Pigure I shows a position - Landscape Architect. This may
ultimately be required on a full-time basis. I n the interim,
this service will be obtai.ned through consultants and on a
shared basis with Conservation Land Management Staff.
