Carried Unanimously ADJOURNMENT: On Motion, the Meeting adjourned at 4 :30 p.m. G. Ross Lord F. L. Lunn Chairman Secretary- Treasurer February 13, 1961 -10 Schedule "A" REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN TO THE ANNUAL MEETING FEBRUARY 9, 1961 Introduction At the conclusion of my third year as Chairman, it is my very great pleasure to report that the Authority has had another successful year and continues to forge ahead an all conservation fronts. The Authority There have been 101 meetings during the year of the Authority, its Advisory Boards and Committees. The Authority had 53 members during the year and approximately 100 people acted on our Boards, Committees and Sub - Committees during the year. Mr. William Davidson, Q.C., again gave me strong support and sound advice in the office of Vice - Chairman. The Staff The staff, under the leadership of Secretary - Treasurer Fred Lunn, and Director of Operations Kenneth Higgs, has performed in a manner in which we can be justly proud. The Head Office staff handled the multitudinous duties of accounting, purchasing and liaison with municipalities and the Government of Ontario in a tire- less and efficient manner. The Operations Staff has maintained and enhanced its enviable reputation for unfailing courtesy to the public and "good housekeeping" in our expanding areas. On every hand I encounter praise and encouragement for our work and our policies. During the year we lost, through voluntary retirement, Mrs. Dianne Sutter, our very capable geographer. At the same time we were fortunate in being able to obtain Mr. Ted Sutter, formerly Field Officer of the Credit Valley Authority, to assume the position A-11 of Assistant Director of Operations. Mr. Sutter has already demonstrated his ability to shoulder his share of the Operations load. The work of our property division has increased consider- ably, and we have obtained the services of Mr. W. E. Jones as Property Co- ordinator. Conservation Lreas The Authority acquired an additional 465 acres of Conser- vation Areas land during the year. The sizes of the Areas in 1959 and 1960 are shown below. Acres AREA 1959 1960 Albion Hills 596 650.9 Black Creek $5.1 $5.1 Boyd 70$ 70$ Cedar Mills 1.5 1.5 Claremont 300 400 Cold Creek 252 352.7 Dingle 150 150 Glen Haffy 301.6 301.6 Glen Major 67.2 67.2 Greenwood 406 596.2 Heart Lake 246.$ 246.$ Humber Trails 50 50 Oakbank Community Pond 6 6 Uxbridge 93 93 Bolton Community C.A. - 20 3263.2 3729.0 You will be asked at this meeting to approve extensions to the following Areas during 1961 - Heart Lake, Albion Hills, Boyd, Glen Haffy, Greenwood and Black Creek. The Claremont Area is being progressively developed for an official opening in the early summer of this year. You will be asked to approve a scheme to construct a crossing of Duffin Creek in this Brea, in accordance with the Consulting Engineers' recommendations. On June 2, 1960, His Honour the Lieutenant- Governor o 12 Ontario, The Honourable Keiller Mackay, D.S.O., V.D., L.L.D., officiated at the opening of the Black Creek Area and the dedication of the Pioneer Village. This function will be referred to in more detail later. The attendance at the :areas remained in the neighbourhood of $00,000, and again was comprised in large measure of entire families. Reforestation and Land Use During the year 550,000 trees were planted, and 16 farm ponds were subsidized. This Board has proposed the development of a new type of Area to be known as a Forest and Wildlife Conservat- ion Area. It has recommended the purchase of 20d acres in the first of such Areas, and such developments promise to become a valuable addition to our conservation establishment. These Areas will occupy a place between our present Conservation .areas and the reforestation projects. It will be possible to carry out and demonstrate various types of plantings in them, and at the same time permit limited public use. Historic Sites The Historic Sites Advisory Board had its year in the spot light during 1960. It held an Official Dedication of the Pioneer Village on June 2nd, at which the Lieutenant- Governor of Ontario officiated. His Honour not only delivered a timely and impressive address on this occasion, but also planted what will become a "spreading chestnut tree" beside the village smithy. On the occasion of the Pioneer Festival, the Printing Sub - Committee brought out the first edition of the Pioneer Press. They plan tc issue the second edition at the opening of the 1961 season. You will note that we refer to the ceremony at the Pioneer Village as its Dedication. The Village is at present perhaps only 60 percent completed, and it is planned to have the gala Official Opening of the completed Village in the year 1967, which year will have a special significance for all of us. A-13 The attendance at the Pioneer Village since its Dedicat- ion has been gratifying, and beyond the expectation of most of us. Some 91,000 persons have visited the Village and Museum in 1960. The attendance at the Pioneer Festival on September 24, 1960, was 10,000. Several new features were added to the Festival, and it was apparent that this function has become a firmly established event. During the year, the major acquisition was the Fisherville Presbyterian Church which was moved to the Village on November 1st. We are indebted to the United Church of Canada, the Trustees of the Fisherville Church and its Congregation for agreeing to the transfer of this beautiful early church to the Village. Information and Education Our public relations appear to be in good order. Increas- ingly the public gives evidence of an understanding and active support of our work. On several occasions when matters of greenbelt encroachment have arisen, newspaper editorials, society protests and letters from individuals have spoken out in favour of the Auth- ority policies. Through this Board and our consultants, the Ontario Editorial Bureau, excellent coverage has been obtained in press, radio and television. The Chairman, members and staff delivered 93 public addresses during the year. Our coloured film "Legacy of the Valleys" was publicly shown on 77 occasions. Flood and Pollution In my last annual report, great emphasis was placed upon the urgent need for the implementation of our flood control plans. I am sorry to say that the Plan has not yet been approved by the Government of Canada. We have had assurance that our submissions are under intensive study in Ottawa, and it is our hope that positive action will be forthcoming soon. On the bright side of the picture, we have noted that the Upper Thames Valley plan has received official approval; as has the plan to build the Parkhill Dam on the i usable River. While our major flood control plan has not yet been approved, it has been necessary to proceed with certain measures A-14 which could not be delayed. This work has been mainly on the Black Creek and comprised such work as channel improvements at bridges under construction and studies of further phases of Black Creek improvement. In my report to you last year it was stated "It is an indisputable fact that our Flood Control Ilan is by long odds the most important business before the Authority!" This isstill my opinion. We are still vulnerable to floods in the area and it is more than ever urgent that we be permitted to acquire reservoir and other lands before impending development makes this prohibitive or even impossible. Our Partners I have always been pleased to point out that our Conser- vation achievements are the result of a partnership. Our partners are the twenty -three municipalities in our area and the Government of Ontario. We have appreciated the support and approval of the municipalities and the Government of Ontario. Since my last report, we have learned of an impending event which I cannot let pass without comment. Mr. Frederick G. Gardiner, C.C. has announced that after the year 1961 he will no longer be available for the office of Chairman of the Metropolitan Corporation. We of the Conservation aithority have always found him to be a staunch supporter of the work of Conservation. He has commended us on many occasions for the work being done by the Authority. We join with all other citizens of the Metropolitan area in thanking him for a large job well done and wish him well in his future endeavours. We are again grateful to the Minister of Commerce and Development, The Honourable W. M. Nickle, Q.C., and his Departmental Staff for support and advice on all occasions. G.

Thompson presented his illustrated report "Grass and Trees." ADJOURNMENT: On Motion, the Meeting adjourned at 4 :45 p.m. Dr. G. Ross Lord F. L. Lunn Chairman Secretary- Treasurer May 15, 1961 SCHEDULE "A" A -5$ PROPOSED PLAN FOR ACQUISITION OF FLOOD PLAIN LANDS It gives me great pleauure to be able to record that at 3 p.m. on April 19, 1961, the Department of Commerce and Development disclosed in a news release that the Federal and Ontario Governments are ready to share u to 75% of the cost of flood control works estimated to amount to 9$24,000,000. As yet we have only the news release available and must await the final agreements before the exact details are known. The steps of implementation in the next four weeks will be: (1) An agreement will be signed between the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario. (2) An agreement will be signed between the Government of Ontario and the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. The date set for this joint signing ceremony is June 14, 1961, in the City of Toronto. From our present study it would appear that the $24,000,000 scheme just approved will involve the following: Humber Don Clairville Dam Ebenezer Dam Bolton Dam Nashville Dam King Creek Dam Lower East Branch Woodbridge Channelization Haviland Dam Finch Dam Westminister Dam Willowdale Dam York Mills Channel Black Creek Channel $1,086,000 1,603,000 4,695,000 2,$99,000 2,041,000 2,115,000 $$4,000 764,000 1,041,000 2,447,000 $14,439,000 145,300 5,136,000 150,000 4,040,000 $23,910,300 I must be frank to say that certain of the smaller dams, as follows, appear not to have been approved: Etobicoke - Snelgrove Dam 722,000 Rouge - Milne Dam 425,000 Duffin ?s Creek - Audley Dam Green River Dam 979,000 Highland Creek - West Hill Dann 447,000 $2,573,000 Also not approved was the acquisition of some 7,400 acres of flood plain lands to cost approximately $11,600,000. Let me hasten to say that it is our firm resolve to carry out all ' of the proposed plan costing $34,000,000. One significant paragraph in the Ontario Government news release stated: 7'The Agreement would require the acquisition or zoning of flood -plain lands as indicated in the plan, to be A -59 - 2 - used for flood control and recreational purposes. Expenditures involved in this will be met from sources other than the Federal Government." You will agree tia we cannot give you a complete plan as to how it is proposed to carry out all of the work, but something along the follow ing lines would seem to be practicable: (1) The Authority ask the municipalities to contribute the amounts which they have already pledged for the $34,000,000 scheme. This would result in a surplus over the $24,000,000 plan in 10 years of $ 2,500,000 Reguest the Government of Ontario to participate up to 50% ill this plan 2,500,000 $ 5,000,000 (2) Request the municipalities and the Government of Ontario to extend the plan from 10 to 14 years and participate at the 10 year rate for the additional 4 years. Additional 4 years Authority $ 3,500 000 Additional 4 years Government of Ontario 3,500,000 $ 7,000,000 In summary, the financing would be accomplished in this way: Approved for Federal - Provincial participation..$ 24,000,000 Authority- Provincial participation for 10 years up to agreed $34,000,000 plan 5,000,000 Added participation from 10 to 14 years Authority and Ontario 7,000,000 $ 36,000,000 I would respectfully request that you give careful consideration to this plan and give it your approval in principle.
