REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN
to the
14TH ANNUAL MEETING
of'
THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
January -30 -1970
I. It is again my pleasure to bring you the Chairman9s
Report - this time, for the year 1969 - the thirteenth year
of operation of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Con -
servation'Authority. Thirteen years is not a long time in
the life of any organization. Yet, as one considers-the
progress that has been made and the tangible achievements,
such as flood control, conservation education and''coriser'vat-
ion areas, - a certain amount of quiet pride is justifiable.
The success of the Authority has been due to the foresight
of the Provincial Government in setting up the Conservation
Authorities Act in 1946 and in its agreement to help
finance Authorities. However, success could not have been
achieved without two further important'ingredients. These
were the support and active participation, both financially
and, in many ways, of the twenty -three municipalities -
comprising the Metro Conservation Region,-and perhaps'the
most important factor, the citizens who believed so firmly
in the principles of conservation'that they were willing
to give unstintingly of their time, abilities and effort
while acting on the Authority, its Boards and Committees.
This citizen involvement is the real secret of the deep -
rooted concern and strong and healthy development'of'
conservation in Ontario. It is interesting to note: that,
since 1946, 3$ Authorities have been formed in'Ontarb' -'
33 in,Southern Ontario an 5 in Northern Ontario. These.
Authorities embrace 561 municipalities and have jurisdict
ion over 29,061 square miles. In other words, 4,500,000
people, or 75 per cent. of the total population of the
province live in watersheds covered by Authorities. The
Metro Authority, having some 2,000,000 people in its 1,000
-2- A -11
square mile area, has roughly 30 per cent. of the population
of Ontario within its borders. I make this comparison
because it has very serious implications for the future and
merits some later discussion.
II. LAND
It has often been said that one of the greatest assets
of a Conservation Authority is open space. During the year,
some 1,571 acres of land were added to our holdings and we
now own 1,125 individual properties, comprising some 20,000
acres. This is a very valuable asset, worth many millions
of .dollars, and it will increase in value in the future.
With the development of reservoir areas, flood plain
and Conservation Areas, the Authority is able, in large
measure, to control floods, protect valleys and source
areas, work toward pollution control and other objectives.
I am often asked if the Authority will ever be satisfied
with the amount of land it owns. My reply is always
somewhat as follows: The total region is not large
just 1,000 square miles; where 2 million people live -
one -third of the population of Ontario. The other two -
thirds have' 56,000 square miles of conservation authorities.
At the rate of growth of the Metropolitan Region, 60,000
per -year, it is not exaggerating to predict that the
population of the region will be around 4 millions.by the
year 2000 - regardless of regional municipal boundaries.
The importance of open space, in the form of conservation
lands, is,now generally recognized by most informed
citizens. The necessity for such space will become more
and more urgent as the population grows. The-concluding
remarks in my annual report last year were:
?In this report I have tried to suggest that
there are some important conservation objectives
which can be achieved or lost - depending upon
the strength of our desires. The Metro region
:A-12, -3-
is developing fast - faster than almost any
other place on the continent . It is within
our power to determine the sort of place this
will be in the year 2000. It could easily
become another colossus of slums and cramped
living, such as several cities below the
border. On the other hand, it can become the
finest city in the world, with ample parklands,
controlled pollution, exciting architecture
and a place where children can grow "in wisdom
and stature and in favour with God and man". '
I rewrite this because I wish to state most strongly
that the acquisition of the necessary open space is the
most important objective in assuring that Greater Metro
will survive as a living community in the future. The
Authority must press on in its land acquisition to bring
,
the total to 40, 000 acres as quickly as possible.
III . PEOPLE
(a) Room to Breathe
The Authority has continued to make open space ,
available to the people of the Region. The total attendance
at conservation areas was 1,426,296 during 1969 - an
increase of 8% - with an encouraging winter use for skiing,
skating, tobogganing and snowmobiling. The Pioneer Village
had over 180,000 visitors ; and four Areas - namely Albion
Hills, Boyd, Bruce's Mill and Heart Lake - each had over
200,000.
No new areas were opened during the year, but a '
significant contribution to the Authority's land holdings
was received as a result of a grant through the will of
the late Mr. Grant Glassco. Mr . Glassco left his land,
adjoining the Boyd Conservation Area, to the people of
Ontario, to, be developed as conservation land. This land
has been made available to the Conservation Authority on -
-4- A -13
a long term basis through the Ontario Heritage Foundation.
Consisting of over 450 acres of beautiful rolling hills and
forest adjacent to the Boyd Area, it will permit wonderful
development for future use of the people. The Authority is
most happy to have this splendid acquisition and expresses
its sincere appreciation to Mrs. Grant Glassco and her
family. This beautiful ' Glassco Park' will ever remain as
a living memorial to the great Canadian whose name it will
bear.
(b) Our Heritage
There is a tendency these days to hurry so quickly
through the present and into the future that we forget our
past. Canadians, above all others, should be proud of their
pioneer heritage and cherish its traditions and artifacts.
The Authority is proud to share the task of preserving a
small oasis of pioneer days in the Black Creek Pioneer
Village. Developed as a living village, with eighteen
buildings restored and three more in process, and having
horses, oxen, sheep, ducks and other animals on 'its 'farm,
it presents a never - ending place of interest to young
and old. Over 54,000 school children were taken through
tb.et buildings on educational tours and 180,000 adults
browsed through ,the settings reminiscent of the days of
their great - grandparents. The major new construction
during .,the ;year was the .completion of a restaurant in the
basement of the Half Way House, which will be open in the
1970 season.
The area in and around the Village has received
extensive landscaping, through the generous support of The
Gardenlp.ub of Toronto, which has subscribed over $20,000.00
for this,purpose. We express our deep appreciation for this
gift, which will develop and beautify with the years.
(c) Educating the Young
One of the better definitions of conservation which'
comes to hand is one which appeared recently in The Royal`
A -14
-5-
Bank of Canada Monthly Letter:
'Conservation is the planned management and wise
use of nature's resources. It aims, in co- operation
with science and nature, to increase their quality,
quantity and availability through the years. Con-
servation is not merely a subject for a school
curriculum or for the attention of conservation
officers and departments of government; it is a way
of life for all people.,
f
This definition in, its last words suggests that for
conservation to succeed, people must think and act con-
servation. In order to think and act conservation, people
must know and understand conservation and certainly must
believe in its precepts. This requires education. It has
been said that if the young are educated to appreciate and
believe in conservation, the future of sound conservation
practices will be assured. It is for this basic reason
that the Authority has developed outdoor education; first
at its Albion Hills Conservation Field Centre, then at the
Cold Creek Conservation Field Centre and, in the coming,
year, at the new Claremont Conservation Field Centre. The
Albion Hills Centre had 2,931 students and 369 student
teachers during the year, operating fifty weeks of the year.
Cold Creek Centre, operating on a daily basis, looked
after 6,560 students. When the Claremont Centre is completed
in March, 1970, it will be ready to take its share of ,classes
and teachers living in for five days each week. These
educational Centres, coupled with hikes, Pioneer Village
tours and other, events, have given conservation instruction
to 14$,412 young people in 1969.
(d) The Foundation
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Foundation has made its main enterprise of the year the
raising of funds to build the new Claremont Conservation
Field Centre. They mounted a most successful campaign and
-6- A -15
and the Centre is now nearing completion. Sited in a
beautiful location - overlooking the Claremont Conservation
Area,-the building is constructed of cedar logs and will
soon be ready to provide classrooms,' laboratory, lounge and
dormitory accommodation for a school class of 45 students
and six student teachers. This Centre adds to the tremendous
debt we all owe to Mr. Elgin Card, Chairman, Mr. Charles
Sauriol, Executive Director, and members of the Foundation
for the time, energy and deep interest they have contributed
to make the Foundation effort a success. The Foundation has
now raised over $500,`000.00 in contributions towards projects
which could not have been achieved without such support.
(e) The Workers
Like any other project demanding action, conservation
must have its workers. In the policy area, members of the
Executive Committee, the Authority and its Committees have
given.of their time and abilities to the consideration and
solving of the myriad of problems that arose during the
year. I wish to again thank Mr. Fred A. Wade, Vice - Chairman,
for his strong support during the year.
The day -to -day work of the Authority is carried out
by our Staff: From the leaders in head office to the
superintendents of Areas and the field staff, it would be
hard to find a more effective team. They show by their
achievements that conservation to them is more than just
- a-job. It is 'a way of life9 and' an opportunity to create
and contribute. Enter any one of our Areas and you will
sense that the superintendent and his staff are proud of'
their domain. They take pride in its development and in
maintaining it to the highest'standards. We are very
fortunate indeed to have attracted an efficient and talented
staff and to have had most of them stay with us for many
years.
A -16 -7-
(f) The Governments
The Authority has continued to receive strong technical
and financial support from The Government of Ontario. The
Honourable George Kerr, Q.C.; Minister of Energy and Resources
Management, and his most capable staff, have encouraged us by
their leadership to press forward during 1969.
We acknowledge the financial support of the Federal
Government in flood control and express the fervent hope that
our temporary difficulties in this field will be ironed out
to-the satisfaction of all - concerned. A proper solution will
be an advantage to all levels of government because it will
affect ten -per cent. of, the people in Canada.
The Authority also appreciates the continued encourage-
ment of Metropolitan Toronto and the constituent municipalities
who, through their representatives, have guided our course.
IV. SOME PROBLEMS
Mr. Frederick G. Gardiner has suggested that the
boundaries of Metropolitan Toronto should be extended from
Steeles Avenue (the present limits) to the height of land
between Lake Simcoe and Lake Ontario. This would increase
the area of Metro from its present 210 square miles to 700
square miles. Mr. Gardiner gives many reasons why this
should be done, but basically his argument is that a single
government would be able to develop the larger region in an
economical and orderly manner by planning proper subdivision
of land, supply of sewers, water and roads. He says that
Metro needs more land for natural population growth and any
artificial barrier at Steeles Avenue would be wrong. Mr.
Clark Muirhead, in reply to Mr. Gardiner, makes a case for
containing Metro within its present limits. He points to
large cities below the border, such as Los Angeles and New
York, which have grown to the point where the quality of
•
living has deteriorated to a level very hard to improve.
A -1.7
Mr. Muirhead suggests a plan which has often been advocated,
the building of new cities, spaced across Ontario and planned
from the ?ground up4. This idea is not new and has often
been advocated. It has never been proven as completely
-• obtainable and, in my view, would not solve the Metro
problem. I believe that no matter how many new cities are
created and no matter where the 'boundaries of Metro are
,finally placed, the Metro region will continue to grow in
,population and in industrial strength. By the Metr,d'
region, I mean an area of somewhere in the neighbourhood of
1,000 square miles.
So, rather than enter'into a political argument
xrel.ative) to the precise boundaries of The Munibipality of
Metropolitan. Toronto, I propose to discuss some of the
problems, challenges and future developments of the Greater
Metropolitan Region.
(a) The Value of a Watershed Ideal
The Metro Region has a number of small streams running
through it which have, over the years, developed many
beautiful valleys. The river valley system imposes some
restraints and many advantages on a region. The rivers and
their valleys compose a natural storm run -off system which
must be considered, especially in times of flood. This
feature has been studied by the Conservation Authority and
a comprehensive plan conceived. Rising costs of land and
construction have retarded the completion of the flood
control plan. In order to contain the floods, river valleys
must be kept open and, to avoid serious erosion and bank
failures, valley slopes must be preserved. The preservation
of the valleys has added many thousands of acres of parklands
which would not otherwise be available to the people. Ways
must be found to finish the flood control plan. This is an
urgent objective. Another large flood will occur some day
and, unless we are prepared, will cause great damage.
-9-
_(b') The Lakefront Plan
One of the most imaginative schemes now before Metro
is the plan to develop the lakefront from Oakville to
Pickering. The Lake Ontario shoreline along Metro is one
of the greatest natural assets possessed by any large city.
It should provide an excellent harbour as well as ample
recreational land on one of the largest fresh water lakes
in the world. We have-the harbour, but have taken very
little advantage of the natural assets for recreation.
The ,waterfront plan as presently conceived offers a
,challenge for development second. to none. It' will provide
the people of the greater Metropolitan area with parkland,
marinas, swimming pools, playgrounds, scenic views with -
beaches and miles of.pleasant walkways. The importance of
the waterfront development goes far beyond the City of
Toronto and the people near it. It has a provincial and a
federal impact. As the front door of the provincial
capital, it would set off the provincial parliament buildings
and give suitable prestige and beauty to Ontario's capital
city. Because of the harbour with its developments, it must
also be a federal problem. Also, in a larger way, the
lakefront development is part of a national problem.
Isl. Pollution
In speaking of Metropolitan Toronto, people often
deplore the growing problems of pollution of air, water
pollution, noise and transportation difficulties. However,
the challenge is that Metro has not yet reached the point
of 'no return'. Mrs. Jane Jacobs, well known urbanologist,
in a recent television interview, said that, in her opinion,
Metro Toronto is still a healthy city - one of the
-
healthiest on the North American continent. This should
not make us complacent, because there are many things
developing to bring about a deterioration of the living
environment in Metro.
-10- A -19
While we deplore many environmental conditions in a
,large city, most cities are infinitely, better places to live
than they were a, century ago. It is probably true that
London and Paris in 1$50, with open sewers, •diseases such
as typhoid very common. and poverty so rampant that some
people starved, were not.,des .rable for a large part of their
populations. Mr. Robert Kaplan, M.P., in a recent address,
stated that the big difference today is that ALL people
know what proper living in a city should be and the people
will not condone conditions that make living unhealthy,
degraded and intolerable.. It has been the objectiveof the
Authority to cooperate with all agencies to bring about -,
pollution control and. environmental development to enhance
the .- livingr enjoyment of all citizens.
V. THE FUTURE
You may wonder why the Chairman of a Conservation
Authority should address himself to a survey of so many
problems - open space, recreation, pollution of air and
water, flood control, land use, noise abatement and many
other things. The answer is that conservation - the
New Conservation? is the science of control of human
environment. Your Authority must now raise its sights to
encompass the entire field of environmental enhancement
and control. We have obtained and developed 20,000 acres
of open space. We have worked on a flood control plan -
which we must complete. We have planted millions of trees,
worked toward water pollution control and proper use of
land. We must continue these efforts. But also we must
take part in a much larger scheme to include the elimination
of air pollution, thoughtful beautification of our entire
environment through such things as roadside plantings,
encouragement of botanical gardens, development of the
Bruce Trail, the Lake Ontario Waterfront, the Zoological
Garden and many other things.
A -20 -11-
The time is ripe for action. The people are
with us and they want these things. In my opinion the
public expects from us intelligent and forward - looking
action.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
(for consideration by the Authority)
SECTION I
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE SUBMITS THE FOLLOWING ITEMS FROM MEETING
#20/70 OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE HELD ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25,
1970, FOR CONSIDERATION OF THE AUTHORITY AND RECOMMENDS THEIR
ADOPTION:
1. REPORT #3/70 - REFORESTATION & LAND USE
ADVISORY BOARD
Item #2 of Report #3/70 of the Reforestation and Land Use
Advisory Board, as set forth herein, be adopted:
Recommendation 2:7 in the Report of the Committee on Farm Assessment
and Taxation - Ontario, which reads:
'Forest land be assessed on the basis of a soil capability
schedule which reflects the value of land for forestry
purposes as soon as such a schedule can be developed and
that the resultant tax base be the maximum tax base for
forest land.
Implicit in all our recommendations respecting the assessment of
farm land is the presumption that all property is assessed at market
value. The Committee is aware that market value assessments for
all properties in the Province may be as much as five years away.
Until the assessments at market value are made it could be inequitable
in the extreme to implement our recommendations respecting farm assess-
ments if they served to raise farm assessments without corresponding
increases in non -farm assessments. There are, however, a number of
municipalities in which non -farm assessments are based on market
value and the farm assessments on section 35(3) of The Assessment
Act. It would be feasible to implement the assessment recommendations
in such reassessed municipalities in 1970.'
- be endorsed.
