REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN
to the
13TH ANNUAL MEETING
of
THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
January -31 -1969
It is again my privilege to present the Chairman's
Annual Report. The Authority has made significant material
advances in the past year. I will refer to some of these
achievements but also wish to speak about some general
problems and objectives which concern us. To introduce
these concepts, I quote from an address by William R. Allen,
Q.C., Chairman of The Metropolitan Corporation, to the
Advertising and Sales Club of Toronto on November 12, 1968:
"Today we face a grave and subtle challenge of
human conservation. To ignore this challenge
would be a tragic backward step when forward
momentum is needed.
Now is the time for all people to unite and
to demand and work for the conservation of man
and his world.
I believe that to live deliberately and absorb
the world around you, not merely through your
senses into your physical being, but into your
deepest thoughts, is the nutrient of great culture
and a more peaceful world order.
Each person must have elbow room and opportunity
for occasional solitude and quiet reflection. He
must be spared excessive noise and pollution. He
needs clean, pleasant surroundings with touches of
beauty."
These words express my own thoughts so faithfully
that I wish that I had written them. They are idealistic
words from a very practical man. It takes idealistic
thinking to paint plans for any really worthwhile development
involving two million people in a vitally expanding region.
Idealistic planning does not require that our 'feet leave
the ground' but that we appreciate the natural assets of
our surroundings, recognize the conservation needs of all
the people, and zealously defend the region against un-
necessary and uninformed exploitation of our splendid
inheritance. We must admit that in conservation as in any
A -10 -2-
other endeavour in a democracy, the objective is the
achievement of the possible. However, we should not
become accustomed too readily to accept what seems
impossible, just because expediency suggests a second -
best solution.
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority has achieved a great deal in its short life.
It has reached the stage where its physical assets,
development of its lands, conservation education of the
young and acceptance by the public permits me to say that
the Authority is here to stay. But it has also come to
that plateau where a broad view of the future demands and
problems of conservation in the Region is emerging.
Canada, generally, has been blessed with many
beauties of nature - the Pacific Coast, the Rocky Mountains,
the Great Lakes, the thousands of smaller lakes and rivers,
the sea coasts of the Maritimes and many other features.
The Toronto region has been fortunate, geographically and
geologically. Unfortunately, we have not planned to take
sufficient advantage of some of the best features of our
situation. We are located on the shores of the great Lake
Ontario, a body of water that many cities of the world
would like to have close by. Yet we have not, in the past,
taken full advantage of this superb resource. However, The
Metropolitan Corporation has started action by the presentat-
ion in January, 1968, of The Metropolitan Toronto Waterfront
Plan. This imaginative Plan is most challenging, involving,
as it does, sixty miles of waterfront from Oakville to
Pickering and including thousa1nds of acres of parkland,
miles of sandy beaches, marinas, boat launching sites and
artificial islands, with enclosed lakes located at strategic
points. Coupled with the proposed harbour and airport
development and the imaginative harbour city, the entire
lakefront plan has the possibility of completely transforming
--3- A -11
the features of the heart of Metro. The Authority is
involved in this Plan, in that several of its Areas at
the mouths of rivers will supply a part of the recreation
features of it. The development of the Waterfront Plan
is, beyond argument, one of the top priorities in the
Region. It is of importance not only to Metropolitan
Toronto but also to the Province of Ontario and the
Government of Canada. The completed Plan would provide
a magnificent front door to the Provincial Parliament
Buildings, greatly improved harbour facilities, and
present a fitting 'necklace' to the capital of Ontario.
All of this can be accomplished in gradual steps at a
financial cost well within the means of municipal and
higher levels of government concerned.
While it is not the business of the Authority to
advise Metro how this great work should be done, it is,
I believe, my privilege and duty to say that careful
consideration should be given to the setting up of a
'Waterfront Development Authority' based upon somewhat
the same premise as the Conservation Authority and having
membership representing Metropolitan Toronto and all
other affected municipalities and including the Governments
of Ontario and Canada. The financing of the works could
also be supplied on a similar basis to that of the
Conservation Authority.
Development of the waterfront would provide re-
creational opportunities in downtown Toronto which would
help to reduce the present predominant exodus from the
city to northern and regional open spaces, which exodus
is so evident on holidays and weekends on our already
overloaded highway system. As Metro grows over the next
twenty years, the northern flow of recreational seekers
will bring about an impossible transportation problem.
There is no reason why the lakeshore should not provide,
A -12 -O-
at a cost within the means of all sections of the population,
recreational facilities of high calibre. Add the lakefront
facilities to the presently available Metro Parks and Con-
servation Areas and we will have a force which will help to
prevent "the same social mess which has reared its ugly head
in different ways in Chicago, Los Angeles and Detroit
Geological processes have also provided the Metro
Region with features which have developed over hundreds of
years. I refer to the many deep and generally beautiful
river valleys. The steep gradients of the short rivers have
brought about erosion of valleys which has resulted in the
topography so well illustrated in the Lower Humber River. It
has taken nature a long time to produce them, and any thought-
less or short - sighted scarring of the valleys will not be
repaired easily and may even bring about the retaliation of
nature in erosion, slope failures and destructive flood
_damage. The valleys are generally suitable for recreational
open space and are also necessary as floodways for torrents
of the magnitude of Hurricane Hazel. As the metropolis
grows in population and in transportation problems, there
will be pressures to usurp the valleys for expedient but
short- sighted uses. These pressures must be resisted by the
Authority and by all thoughtful citizens who appreciate the
long term necessity for maintaining open conservation lands
in the heart of a vigorous metropolis. Metro is growing so
fast that its social problems may easily overwhelm it if
some of the broad conservation principles referred to by
Chairman Allen are not fought for.
Chairmah Allen has said that each person must be
spared excessive noise and pollution. I would like to say
a few things about pollution of water. Some of the main
rivers in our region are polluted in their lower reaches to
a degree which makes it very difficult to clean them up.
However, in many of the upstream areas, as at Boyd, Albion,
Claireville, Bruce's Mill and Milne, the waters are still
-5- A -13
pure enough to permit swimming. It will require real
diligence and much assistance from the Ontario Water
Resources Commission to preserve the upstream unpolluted
waters. Professor J.H. Dales has written a very interest-
ing book, 'Pollution Property and Prices', in which he
discusses the economic and some of the social implications
of pollution. He argues that just because the waters at
one location are heavily polluted, it does not follow that
all other locations should be permitted to become heavily
polluted. He rightly argues, it seems to me, that as
pollution increases in one locality, the recreational
values increase in another area of lesser pollution. He
points out that, if the provincial authority (actually the
0.W.R.C.) were to permit the same degree of pollution all
over the province, in time, Ontario would become entirely
polluted. Therefore, just because the lower parts of our
rivers are seriously polluted, we must not say that
"naturally the upper reaches must suffer the same fate.
The recreational values of the headwaters become more
precious as the metropolitan area grows in buildings and
people. Therefore, we must work to find ways to prevent
the increase of pollution in the areas where people are
still able to swim.
The Authority has added steadily to its greatest
asset - land - during 1968. Since its inception it has
acquired 1,091 properties with a total area of 19,045
acres. In acquiring land the Authority has found it
necessary on occasion to use its expropriating powers,
chiefly where flood control lands were reuired. The new
Bill 5, The Expropriations Act 1968 -69, will govern our
future expropriations and we feel will improve our
operations over existing procedures.
As Metro grows, the character of many of our
Conservation Areas is bound to change. A recent newspaper
article informs us that a new 750 acre residential develop-
ment is planned to 'completely surround the Heart Lake
A -1L. -6-
Conservation Area'. It is stated that 30,000 people will
reside in this self- contained community. If this happens,
Heart Lake will be in the centre of a fair -sized city f
rather than an area mostly surrounded by farms. In time,
other Conservation Areas will meet the same challenge.
This will require that the Authority seek to add to its
acreage, perhaps in locations beyond our present borders.
It is certain that our land holdings must be increased
from the present 19,000 acres to approximately 10,000
acres if we are to cope with the foreseeable population
of four millions in this region.
The recreational needs of the region can be sensed
by the fact that attendance at the Conservation Areas
reached 1,379,906 in 1968, which was an increase of
238,000 over the previous year. Many developments took
place in the Areas during the year. The Milne Dam and
Area, at the Town of Markham, was officially opened by. The
Honourable J.R. Simonett on Thursday, October 17, 1968.
This Area, when fully developed, will compare in size and
facilities with Heart Lake and will handle six to eight
thousand visitors per day. The large Claireville Area is
being steadily developed and should be open for recreational
use in 1969.
The Black Creek Pioneer Village continues to be a
feature attraction to young and old in the region. Attendance
during the year reached 205,117, while over 57,000 students
were accommodated on conducted tours. With the help of The
Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation,
several buildings are being restored;in preparation for the
spring re- opening of the Village. We thank the Garden Club
of Toronto for donating over $10,000 to provide area plantings
at the Village. These plantings will beautify the surroundings
of the Village and help to form a buffer screen against housing
developments springing up nearby.

Our conservation education programme has been
very successful again this year. The Albion Hills
Conservation Centre has been completely booked with
classes during the weeks of the school year. In addition,
the Centre accommodated weekend groups and operated most- -
of the summer months. It was in operation over 320 days
during the year. The Centre was awarded, in competition
with many other groups, the first White Owl Conservation
Award by the General Cigar Company. The award is a
trophy and is accompanied by a $5,000.cash grant. This is a
great honour to the Staff and gives us another chance to
thank the Foundation for its part in securing the award.
The new Field Centre at Cold Creek has also been taken
up fully by day classes. Because of this successful
growth of conservation education, the Authority now
proposes to build another Field Centre at the Claremont
Area - funds to be raised by the Foundation.
We thank the Junior League of Toronto for their
contribution of over $15,000. used in developing a craft
programme for school children at the Pioneer Village.
We also thank the League for assistance by its members
in operating the programme.
Newspaper, television and radio publicity has
been excellent and we express our sincere appreciation to
these media for their assistance in keeping conservation
events and objectives before the public. The Authority
has published and distributed thousands of brochures,
guides and other information pamphlets in furtherance of
its educational and publicity efforts.
Since the signing of the Flood and Water Control
Agreement in 1961, the Authority has moved forward in
development as fast as municipal funds permitted. Dams
have been built and thousands of acres of reservoir and
flood plain lands acquired. We feel that the original
flood control plan is just as valid today as when it was
A -16 -$-
proposed and approved in 1961. Naturally, there have
been and will continue to be minor modifications as more
complete engineering data is procured.
For some time it has been clear to the Authority
that the original plan could not be completed within the
ten year time period expiring in 1970, nor can it be
completed within the original estimates of cost. There
has been a phenomenal rise in land costs in the Metropolitan
Toronto region and construction costs have increased by at
least 50 percent. It is now obvious that a re- negotiation
of the Flood Control Plan is necessary and your Executive
Committee has these matters under advisement.
The important role that The Metropolitan Toronto
and Region Conservation Foundation continues to play in
expanding public interest and assistance in the work of
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
is most gratifying. Under Chairman Elgin H. Card, supported
by Executive Director Charles Sauriol and public spirited
members, the Foundation has raised over $100,000. since its
inception. In addition, the Foundation has secured
thousands of dollars worth of materials and services,
including magazine advertising, sign -board advertising, as
well as clothing for students attending Authority education
programmes.
Among projects in which the Foundation has played
an active part are:
- building and equipping the Albion Hills
Conservation Centre;
- building the Cold Creek Conservation
Field Centre;
- moving and restoration of the Half Way
House at Black Creek Pioneer Village;
- building and restoration of the Roblin's
Mill, Print Shop, Crafts and other
buildings at Black Creek Pioneer Village.

The Foundation has recently launched a campaign
to raise $150,000. to build the Conservation Field Centre
at the Claremont Conservation Area. The new field centre,
with overnight accommodation for 40 students, will provide
five -day as well as two -day weekend courses in conservation
education. It will be, in effect, an extension of the
Albion Hills Centre, but located at the eastern boundary
of the Authority region.
We regretfully record the death,• late in 1968, of
Mr. J. Grant Glassco, a member of the Foundation and a
staunch friend of the Authority. A conservationist of
long standing, Mr. Glassco has made contributions to
conservation in our region which will continue for all
time to come.
We continue to enjoy the strong support of The
Government of Ontario, both financially and technically.
The Honourable J.R. Simonett, Minister of Energy and
Resources Management, and his competent staff, have given
us strong leadership in carrying forward the work. We
express our appreciation and thanks for this support.
We also are indebted to The Government of Canada
for its contribution to our flood control work.
The Authority appreciates the co- operation and
support of Metropolitan Toronto and the constituent
municipalities within the region. They have shown in
many ways their interest in and strong backing of
conservation in and on a regional basis.
The members of the Authority have again shown a
gratifying dedication in their work. The Executive
Committee and members of the various Boards have given
long hours of effort in dealing with our many problems.
I would especially like to thank Mr. F.A. Wade, Vice -
Chairman of the Authority, who has given me unstinted
support on all occasions.

We all know how much we owe to our Staff. From
the Administrative Staff to those in the Areas, we are
fortunate in having people who are efficient, dedicated
and happy in their work. They do a fine job of keeping
the Authority running. It is a great pleasure to be
associated with them.
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 is developing fast - faster
than almost any other place on the continent. It is
within our power to determine what sort of a 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".

15. PROJECT F.3.A. - BOLTON DAM & RESERVOIR
Properties required
A communication from the Property Administrator was presented
advising that during 1962, this Committee and the Province
of Ontario approved the preliminary plan for lands required in
connection with the Bolton Dam and Reservoir Project and
authorized commencement of the Authority's land acquisition
programme under the provisions of The Conservation Authorities
Act.
Since that time, 74 arm's length transactions have been
successfully completed. In addition, 4 properties have been
expropriated and 3 settlements effected.
There are approximately 35 properties remaining to be acquired.
The Staff is encountering various problems in attempting to
acquire same, mainly due to the large amount of speculative
activity presently taking place in the Township of Albion.
The Adams property, located in Lot 16, Concession V, has
brought the matter to a climax. Negotiations have been
conducted with the owner over the past five years and the
possibility of reaching an agreement on price is becoming
more remote as time passes.
During the last three years, Mr. Adams has been competing with
the Authority in an attempt to purchase other properties
located in the reservoir area and has acquired two additional
properties. He recently secured two building permits affecting
lands which he owns lying in the said area.
A recent inspection of the site revealed that construction has
not yet commenced; however, concrete blocks are piled on the
site.
It is imperative that the Authority acquire title immediately
and the only way this can be accomplished is by expropriation.
The Property Administrator was directed to arrange for the
acquisition of all remaining properties included within the
approved plan for the Bolton Dam & Reservoir Project F.3.A.,
either by purchase or under the provisions of The Expropriations
Act, 196$ --69 and The Conservation Authorities Act, 196$;
The appropriate Authority Officials were authorized and directed
to take all necessary action, including the execution of any
documents as may be required.
