REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN to the 12TH ANNUAL MEETING February -2 -196$ REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN TO THE ANNUAL MEETING of THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTiORITY February 2. 196$ The year 1967 marked the one hundredth birthday of Canada, during which every community in the country attempted to carry out some project which would effectively commemorate this historic occasion. Undoubtedly one of the most outstanding events in Canada was Expo 167, which proved to be a truly great world exhibition, attracting over fifty million people and displaying in its execution and performance the latest cultural and scientific thinking of our age. The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority also carried out some special projects. The Black Creek Pioneer Village, which is rapidly approaching its objective of being a living cross -roads village of the era 1$00 to 1$67, was officially opened by Prime Minister Robarts on May 26, 1967. The year 1967 marked the completion of ten years since the establishment of the Metro Conservation Authority. In recognition of the coincidence of this fact with the Centennial year, the Autivrity prepared and presented a Centennial Report on Conservation, which outlined in a very attractive way the aims, achievements, and future plans of the Authority, Anyone reading this report could not help but conclude that the Authority had made a considerable impact on life of this great metropolitan region. The Authority has spent some thirty -nine million dollars in the purchase and improvement of lands and the construction of flood control works, Over eight million people have visited its Areas and hundreds of thousands of school children have been encouraged to become more conversant with the A -10 - 2 - ways of conservation through its educational programmes. One of these programmes was the Centennial tree planting project carried out in the Albion Hills & Glen Major Conservation Areas. In these projects hundreds of school children planted trees which will come to full growth long before the next Centennial celebration. The Authority has again enjoyed the complete co- operation of its 23 member municipalities in all of its projects. As Chairman, I am very sensitive to this sympathetic support. There are not many projects in any location or any country in which 23 independent corporate municipalities have achieved such successful co- operation as in this Metro- politan Conservation Region. The municipalities have not only, with the Government of Ontario, supplied the necessary finances to enable the Authority to carry out its work, but have also backed the Authority on matters of zoning and protection of conservation lands. In addition to the elected bodies giving the Authority support, the officials of the various municipalities have shown a real understanding of our policies and have backed us in carrying out our objectives. It is interesting to note how the money of the Authority has been spent over the years and during the past year, and Table I outlines this picture.

During the year 1967, the Authority continued to A -11 - 3 - acquire land to round out its Flood Control Plan and its Conservation Areas Schemes. During the year, ninety -eight properties were acquired comprising 1,268 acres. This brought the total land holdings of the Authority to 18,500 acres at the end of 1967. In my report of last year I pointed out that, while this is a considerable acreage of land, it is only about half of what is required to carry out the responsibilities of the Authority in the years to come. It is necessary for us to attempt to acquire the remaining lands as quickly as funds permit, since it is obvious that expanding housing developments will make it more and more difficult to obtain the lands and the costs will continue to rise. The Conservation Areas of the Authority again attracted many people during 1967. Table II indicates how the attendance at Areas has grown since the inception of the Authority in 1957.

A-12 - 4 - It is interesting to note that visitors to the Areas come primarily as family groups, each car bearirig an average of 2/4. adults and 2.2 children, Sixty per -cent of the visitors live within forty minutes drive of the Areas visited. Although the Authority ?s recreational role is primarily a regional one, the Conservation Areas have considerable importance to the communities they serve. The Autiority's ability to integrate with community life and municipal recreation is demonstrated by the growing group use which the Areas receive. In 1967, over six hundred groups, involving ninety -five thousand people used the Conservation Areas for church and school picnics, family reunions, senior citizens and social group outings. In addition, ten thousand young campers in 225 separate groups (Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, etc.) used the overnight group camp sites, Each year municipal recreation agencies seek out Conservation Areas for their day camp programmes. In the Summer of 1967, twenty different agencies held day camps, involving over five thousand children, Schools make particular use of the nature trails, which are found in each Conservation Area. In 1967, 1+75 groups, comprising ten thousand students, took conservation field trips centred on the nature trails. It is interesting to note the activity preference of the families attending the Areas and this is indicated in Table IV, TABLE IV TYPES OF RECREATION USE IN CONSERVATION AREAS Percentage of Visitors Engaged in Activity - Activity 1965 Year of Survey Picnicking 72.7% Swimming 66.5 Nature Hikes 21.0 Rest & Relaxation 35.4 Fishing 11.$ Boating 2.9 In order to keep pace with the growing population, - 5 - A -13 it will be necessary for the Authority to develop more arid more Conservation Areas. The present Areas, in some instances, are now used to capacity; over -use will mean deterioration of these Areas. In its future planning the Authority believes that by the year 19$0 it will have available the following: (a) Recreation'In Reservoir Areas: There will be about ten flood control reservoirs with the surrounding areas available for recreation. It is estimated that these areas will accommodate an annual visitation of about three million people. (b) Conservation Areas : There should be at least four new Conservation Areas which will accommodate 375,000 annual visitations. So, that by the year 1980, assuming that the present Areas can accommodate about a million and a half, the Authority -owned Conservation Areas should be able to accommodate in the neighbour- hood of close to five million people per year. Since not all of the land has been acquired to carry out this commitment, it will be necessary for the Authority to obtain the funds and vigorously pursue the purchase of the necessary lands over the next twenty years. The Black Creek Pioneer Village has continued to be a major attraction in the Metropolitan Area Following a very successful opening by Prime Minister Robarts, the Village went on to an outstanding Centennial year of achievement. The attendance reached over 213,000 people, including many thousands of school children who were taken through the Village on educational tours. Amongst the buildings completed, or nearly completed, during the year, were the fascinating Roblin Flour Mill, which is operating under the impetus of its over -shot water wheel and is actually grinding grain into flour. The Half ' 14 - 6- Way House was virtually completed and comprises a magnificent addition to the Village. This old -time inn is already serving appl cider in its reconstructed bar and its furnished bedrooms and ballroom take the visitor back to the mid -1500 era. The Print Shop, Town Hall, and Gunsmith Shop are all under construction and should be completed during 1965, With the financial support of the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation, the Village will succeed in completing its buildings and furnishings. The new collector road which will provide better access to the Village is being planned by the Borough of North York, York University, and the Authority. This should provide an excellent entrance to the Village parking lots and will be mutually beneficial to both the Black Creek Pioneer Village and York University. Preliminary designs have been completed for a most imaginative Visitors' Centre for the Village, and construction awaits the acquisition of the necessary finances through the Foundation, The Village inns conception, construction, and operation is a veritable gem. The Authority is indebted to the Historic Sites Advisory Board, its Technical Advisory Sub - Committee, and to the staff of the Village, All are determined to develop the Village and keep it as an authentic pioneer cross -roads community, The Authority continued to receive excellent publicity through the efforts of its Information & Education Division. Many activities of this Division are best epitomized by the success of the Albion Hills Conservation School in which classes attended on five -day sessions throughout the academic year. Some 1,666 pupils enjoyed such instruction while living at the School for five days. Week -end classes supplied instruction to another 1,750 students. The Albion Hills Conservation School was recently honoured by the Ontario Forestry Association, when its conservation education - 7 - A -15 award was given to the School in recognition of its furtherance of conservation education. This award was established in 1962 and this was the first time it was given to an organization rather than an individual. Many other activities involved thousands of people, for example, arranged hikes took care of 5$3 groups, comprised of 9,700 people and 234 groups consisting of 2,800 people took part in scheduled hikes. There were twenty -five half -day hikes with 406 people. Tours of the Claireville Dam accommodated 1,100 people and ten watershed tours were enjoyed by four hundred students. This Division also conducted school visits to the Black Creek Pioneer Village in which over 44,000 school children were taken on conducted tours through the Village during the year of 1967. Also, provided at the Village were pioneer life programmes in which children did such things as spinning and weaving and the making of candles and attempted other pioneer arts - -- 4,700 children taking part in this programme. So it is obvious that the Authority not only is trying to carry out conservation practices in the region, but is also actively attempting to so educate the younger generation to develop a love and appreciation of conservation and all that it means. Flood control continues to be the greatest project being undertaken by the Authority, both in terms of money expended and time and effort required. The Agreement with the Province of Ontario for the Flood Control And Water Conserv- ation Plan was signed on June 14, 1961. The Authority is of the opinion that the original Plan, with some minor modifications, and the policies as set forth in the Plan For Flood Control And Water Conservation are as valid in 1967, and for the foreseeable future, as they were in 1959! In fact, the rapid growth of the Metropolitan Toronto Region indicates an even greater urgency in the Authority's task in the field of flood control and water conservation. Since A - -16 - 8 - the signing of the original Agreement, the Province of Ontario has adopted a new policy with respect to the financing of small dams and reservoirs, and the Authority has taken advantage of this new policy for the building of the Milne Dam and Reservoir and the Stouffville Dam and Reservoir, both of which are under construction. The Authority has continued to purchase flood plain and reservoir lands. It has also largely completed the York Mills Channel, which incorporates the Metropolitan Toronto West Don Sanitary Trunk Sewer. The final designs are completed for the Finch Dam and Reservoir. Channel improve- ment schemes are either completed or well under way the Town of Brampton, Highland Creek from Morningside Drive to Scarborough Golf Club, Humber River from Black Creek to Scarlett Road, Don River from the Forks to Eglinton Avenue, Don River West Branch in the vicinity of Rykert Crescent. In addition, the Authority has undertaken major improvement works at St. Lucie Drive and Troutbrooke Drive at the request of the Borough of North York, the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, and the Province of Ontario. We continue to be harassed in our flood control programme by rising costs of construction and land values, There is no doubt that some up- dating of the financial aspects of the Plan will be required in the not too distant future. The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation continued to play its part in the work of the Authority. Under the able chairmanship of Mr. Elgin Card, the Foundation pursued its objectives of raising funds for special projects during 1967. We may recall that the Foundation was created in 1961. It was designed to assist the Authority's conservation programme, especially for educational and historical projects. Most of these projects are ones which cannot be achieved through assistance from municipal, provincial A -17 - 9 - and federal governments, and the Foundation was created to give business, industry and individuals an opportunity to make direct contributions to conservation work. Through the Foundation, donations or bequests of money, real or personal property may be made for specific projects. These donations are, of course, deductible by the giver as charitable gifts under the income tax regulations. Since its inception, the Foundation has received gifts of well over $2$0,000. With this money it has supported the Albion Hills Conservation School, purchased the Percy Band Toy Collection, provided the Black Creek Pioneer Village with modern washroom facilities, as well as a yoke of oxen, an outdoor bake oven and part of the funds to restore the Roblin Mill, the Half Way House, and erect the Craft Buildings, It is now undertaking to support the rehabilitation of other structures within the Village, and the Authority is very grateful to the prominent men and women who are serving on the Foundation and through their efforts assisting in this wonderful work. There is another project in the Metropolitan area with which the Authority has been connected. I refer to the Waterfront Plan which was presented recently by the Waterfront Technical Committee to the Waterfront Advisory Committee. The Authority has been represented on the Technical Committee by Mr, Kenneth Higgs, our Director of Operations, while your Chair- man has acted as Vice - Chairman of the Waterfront Advisory Committee. The Conservation Authority has been in close co- operation with the two committees during the preparation of the Plan and, in fact, the Authority is participating in a very real way with the proposals to develop the waterfront in as much as Authority -owned lands at the outlets of its rivers will form a part of the Waterfront Plan. I refer to the lower Humber, Petticoat Creek, Puffin's Creek, the Rouge and High- land Creeks. The Waterfront Plan is truly an imaginative Plan which, if completed, will give Metropolitan A -18; - 10 - Toronto and the surrounding municipalities a golden necklace on the lakefront which can be the hub for other recreational developments in the entire community. It involves not only a complete harbour redesign and development, but also the development of a new airport, the construction of a harbour city with some fifty thousand people living on the site of the old airport, and many recreational parks, marinas, and other developments along the lakefront. The significance of this great Plan cannot be over - emphasized, and it is to be hoped that the Metropolitan Council and other Councils involved will have the imagination and fortitude to approve and advance this Plan at a not too distant date. Conservation to Authority people clearly means Conservation Areas, flood control, proper land use, erosion control, water conservation, waste disposal, reforestation, wildlife management, recreation and education of youth in conservation and pioneer history. It seems to me that there is now a pressing demand that we all enlarge our vision to include many other things in the overall concept of conservation. For want of a better term, I call this comprehensive field "Environmental Engineering ", It deals with all of the factors of environment which contribute to the /conservation/ of people. Such things as the conservation of air through pollution control, better planning of cities to create open space and less cramped living, transportation systems built for speed, convenience and preservation of the nerves of passengers, waste disposal systems which do not pollute or destroy environments and many other things fall within this total concept of conservation. It is imperative that the people of the region attack these problems NOW with energy and resolution. Time is running out in some fields. It has been stated that the pollution of Lake Michigan is fast approaching the point of no return. Lake Erie has passed - 11 - t1 -19 well down the road to decadence. Lake Ontario could well follow within the life time of our grandchildren. The year 1967 was a great Centennial year for our country. The record of progress and achievement during the first one hundred years has been one of which we could all be proud. The Authority celebrated its tenth anniversary also. Its record is one to inspire some satisfaction. Land acquisitions have reached 1$,500 acres, there have been .eight million visitors to Conservation Areas, a fine Pioneer Village has been developed, educational programmes involving over forth thousand students annually are under way, and the flood control plan has moved steadily forward. An anniversary.is an occasion to look backward with pride, but more importantly, it also provides an opportunity to look forward with vision and resolution. Our problems in the future will not diminish. In a metropolitan region bursting at the seams, conservation lands are urgently required to offset the influences of congested living. With devoted people, supporting municipalities, an encouraging Government of Ontario, and many strong friends of conservation, all working towards the furthering of conservation objectives, I bespeak a most challenging future for the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.

EROSION CONTROL - ISLINGTON AVENUE VILLAGE OF WOODBRIDGE A Staff communication was presented having regard to Erosion Control on Islington Avenue, Village of Wood- bridge The Staff Report on Erosion Control, Islington Avenue, Village of Woodbridge (as follows) was received and ap- pended as Schedule "A" of the Minutes of Executive Meet- ing #19/67; and further, The recommendations contained therein are to be adopted. "To: Executive Committee MOT.RCCOAO Re: Erosion Control, Islington Avenue, Village of Woodbridge The Authority was requested in 1966 by the Village of Woodbridge to carry out a study on an erosion problem on A. -26 m 7 . the east side of Islington Avenue between #7 Highway and Pine Street in the Village of Woodbridge. The problem was a form of gullying due to the outfall from an 1$" dia. culvert pipe which projects from the embank- ment on Islington Avenue about 15 feet below the top of the slope. The pipe drains storm water from a catch basin on the west side of Monsheen Drive, as well as ground water seepage, and runs continuously. Because of this outfall, much of the 70 foot drop of the embankment has been severe- ly gulliedo A report on the erosion problem and suggested corrective measures was prepared and the Village of Woodbridge subse- quently requested the Authority to enter into a scheme to correct the erosion problem with the Village of Woodbridge paying half the cost and the Province of Ontario paying half the cost. The matter was brought to the attention of the Authority and provision was made in the 1967 budget for the work to be done. The corrective measures suggested in the Authority's report included the conveying of storm water to the base of the slope through an extension of the existing culvert pipe. It was intended that various springs in the vicinity would be collected into the pipe through a catch basin. The gully was to be filled with well compacted earth material over the new pipe, and the fill was to be seeded and planted with shrub material. The estimated cost of the work was $3,000000 and it was intended that most of the work would be done from the top of the slope working down Between the time of making the corrective proposal and the time of calling for tenders to have the work carried out, two significant things occurred. (1) On June 12/67 the staff investigated a complaint of bank slippage in the vicinity of the storm sewer pipe, and it was found that the ground near the top of the bank was saturated and that a small slide had occurred. One of the springs, which it had been intended would be fed into the catch basin, had caused erosion around the pipe and the pipe had broken and a slippage occurred. (2) A working easement to get at the point of erosion crosses a residential property from Monsheen Drive to the top of the embankment. When the original proposal was made there was no development on the easement. In the in- terim however, the Village of Woodbridge had granted per- mission to the owner of the property over which the ease- ment passes to erect a chain link fence around a swimming pond, which included part of the easement, and also to landscape it. This action meant that either the repair work would have to be done from the bottom of the slope up or the fence and landscaping would have to be removed and replaced. Quotations were called for the repair work and all bidders estimated much higher than the original estimated cost. When questioned concerning their bids, all indicated that because of the steepness of the slope and the necessity for either working from the bottom or having to do consid- erable replacement at the top, a great deal of hand labour was required; thus their high bids. They also felt there A - -27 8 was considerable instability in the bank; thus consider- able risk On November 4th a second slide, this time of considerably larger proportion, to the south of the original erosion occurred. Although both slides occurred in the same bank, they are not physically related one to the other, except that they indicate a general instability in the entire em- bankment. The second slide occurred behind #14 Monsheen Drive. On August 30th the owners of #14 Monsheen Drive were issued a warning of violation of the Conservation Authori- ties Act, Ontario Regulation #253, 1964, as follows: "The above owners of the property have permitted the placing of clean fill within an affected site at the above stated lo- cation which is designated as a prohibited area in contra- vention of Ontario Regulation #253. Approximately 12 loads have been dropped over a badly eroded section of the east slope of the Humber River." On September 28/67 a permit was issued to the owners of #14 Monsheen Drive to grade the fill that had been placed, spread top soil and seed it. Just prior to the slide on November 4th, work had been done partway down the slope to try and further stabilize the bank by the building of cribs. Although this second slide is not physically related to the original erosion problem, it is set out here to illus- trate a generally unstable condition in the embankment along Islington Avenue that was not fully appreciated dur- ing the original staff study It is the opinion of the staff that the requirements for correction of the erosion problem on the embankment on the east side of Islington Avenue are sufficiently compli- cated to require study by a competent firm of profession- al engineers. Such a study should be undertaken before any corrective measures are attempted. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the Village of Woodbridge be ad- vised that a solution to the erosion problem on the em- bankment on the east side of Islington Avenue requires a study by a firm of professional engineers. IT IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED (a) that the firm of Jas. F. MacLaren Ltd. be engaged to carry out a preliminary engi- neering study of the erosion problems on the embankment on the east side of Islington Avenue in the Village of Wood- bridge; (b) that the Village of Woodbridge be designated as the benefitting municipality for the study and that they be requested to assume the Authority v s share of the cost thereof, with the $1,500000 already made available by the Village of Woodbridge considered a part of their share; (c) the Authority request the Minister of Energy & Re- sources Management to approve of this preliminary study and a grant of 75% of the cost thereof. 17011067 W.

MUNICIPALITY OF THE TOWNSHIP OF KING OAK RIDGES PROJECT As directed by Executive Meeting #1$/67, the Staff pre- sented a report concerning proposals for the development of the Meadows property in the Township of King at Oak Ridges. The Staff Report (as follows) concerning proposals for the development of the Meadows property, Municipality of the Township of King at Oak Ridges was received and appended as Schedule "B" of the Minutes of Executive Meeting #19/67; and further, The recommendations contained therein were adopted. "To: Executive Committee MOTOR,COAO Re: Meadows Property, Oak Ridges At meeting #1$/67 the staff were directed to prepare a re- port for the next meeting of the Executive Committee con- cerning proposals for the development of the Meadows pro- perty in King Township at Oak Ridges. The Meadows property was acquired under Scheme-WC -50 and consists of 9 acres lying in Block C, Reg, Plan 202, Town- ship of King. More specifically, the property lies just to the east of Yonge Street and north of the King Sideroad. The property is traversed by the East Branch of the Humber River and was acquired as flood plain land. It is sur- rounded by residential development. The property itself is very flat and poorly drained and consists of rich, or- ganic soils. In three locations on the property large amounts of peat have been excavated, leaving ponded areas averaging 52 feet in depth. 90% of the property would appear to be perpetually wet. In preparing a plan of development, the following charac- teristics were considered. (1) The nature of the property itself: low, wet, poorly drained, and three large areas of open water. (2) The surrounding residential development with inherent drainage and sewage disposal problems. Because of the low character of the land, tile beds do not operate properly and there is no provision for the carrying away of wash water, etc; thus it flows from the property in open ditches to the Humber River. It is likely that this area will some day be considered for redevelopment. (3) The Authority is considering major projects approx, two miles to the east of this property in the Wilcox Lake and Lake St. George Areas, These factors considered, the staff is of the opinion that the development project for the Meadows property would be of local significance and that King Township should be designated the benefitting municipality. The conservation objectives of the project would be: (a) to have in public ownership a section of flood plain land in order to prevent the construction of buildings on a flood A -29 10 vulnerable area (this has already been done to the parti- cular property); (b) to improve the flood plain to al- leviate an existing hazardous condition and make it useful for recreation purposes. The recreation objectives of the project would be o (a) to create a community recreation area of value to local resi- dents and which would be compatible with an area redevelop- ment scheme. The proposed plan of development for the Oak Ridges Conser- vation Area consists of the following elements° Stage 1 -- Fill the two south ponds and area surrounding. Stage 2 -- Grade the area filled in Stage 1, suitable for small play field and playground. Apply top soil and seed. Construct walkway as indicated in Oak Ridges Conservation Area plan of development dated November 22nd, Stage 3 (Concurrent with Stage 2) Fill north pond and surrounding area, leaving smaller and shallower pond area. Spread top soil and seed. Construct walkway and bridge. Concurrent with Stages 2 and 3 supply park furniture. Stage 4 -- Fill low lying marsh area adjacent to Humber River. Spread top soil and seed. Concurrent with the carrying out of the development plan of the Oak Ridges Conservation Area, the Township of King should investigate the effect that the culvert which the Humber River passes through on Wendy Way has slowing down the flow of the Humber and causing part of the drainage problem. It is the opinion of the staff that Wendy Way is not an important street and that the removal of the cul- vert and the closing of the street at the River would greatly assist drainage on the Meadows property. The Town- ship should investigate this matter further. If it proves of value to remove the culvert, Wendy Way could be closed at the River and the section of Wendy Way between the River and Penny Place could become part of the park area. In order to reduce the hazard of the existing open water ponds, the ponds should have a temporary safety fence put around them, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the plan of development for the Oak Ridges Conservation Area, dated November 22/67, be adopted, and that the Township of King be designated the benefit - ting municipality for the implementation of the scheme. IT IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED THAT the staff be directed to negotiate an agreement with the Township of King for the maintenance of the Oak Ridges Conservation Area on a basis similar to the agreements drawn between the Town of Bramp- ton and the Authority for the maintenance and operation of flood plain land in that locality. IT IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED THAT the plan of development for the Oak Ridges Conservation Area, together with the above recommendations, be forwarded to the Township of King for their consideration. 20011067 W.

SCHEDULE "Ctt A -155 METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY REPORT #L./6$ of the EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (for consideration by the Authority) SECTION I THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE SUBMITS THE FOLLOWING ITEMS FROM MEETING #4/6$ OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, HELD ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20th, 1968, FOR CONSIDERATION OF THE AUTHORITY, AND RECOMMENDS THEIR ADOPTION. 1. SCHEME CA -50 ALBION HILLS AREA Extension A Staff communication was presented advising that the Property Division has been successful in obtaining an option for the purchase of 0.136 acres of land lying in part of the west half of Lot 24, Con. VI, Township of Albion. This property was included in the 5 year land acquisition plan initiated by the Authority for the extension of existing Conservation Areas in 1959. However, it has just come on the market this year. This property lies within 1$ feet of the Humber River, is partially wooded, and is within the flood plain of the Humber. It is at the north end of the Albion Hills Conservation Area. Situated on the property is a small frame cottage and a frame shed. The purchase price, with surveys, legal costs and adjustments, is estimated at $7,300.00. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT: Scheme CA -50 "A Scheme for the extension of the Albion Hills Conservation Area" be adopted; and further in this connection, the following action be taken: (a) all member municipalities be designated as benefiting; (b) the Minister of Energy and Resources Management be requested to approve this Scheme and a grant of 50% of the cost thereof; (c) when approved, the appropriate Authority Officials be authorized to take whatever action is required in connection with the Scheme, including the execution of any necessary documents. 2. SCHEME CA -52 - ALBION HILLS AREA Extension #9 A Staff communication was presented advising that the Property Division has been successful in obtaining an option on $0 acres of conservation land north of the existing boundary of the Albion Hills Conservation Area. A -156 --2- Description: Ownership - R. Boyce; 80 acres; west part, south half, Lot 25, Con. VI, Township of Albion. This property was included in the 5 year plan for the extension of existing conservation areas adopted by the Authority in 1959. It has not been available on the market until recently. The property is located in the same physical section of the Oak Ridges interlobate moraine as the rest of the Albion Hills Conservation Area and is characterized by steeply sloping hills of light sandy material. There are 20 acres of flood plain, and the property is traversed by 2000 feet of the main branch of the Humber River. The flood plain is heavily wooded with a predominantly cedar bush. Towards the eastern end of the property there are two low lying swales with cedar bush covers. The remainder of the property has been cut over and, where steeply sloping, shows evidence of considerable erosion. There is one small frame cottage on the property which is in an advanced state of deterioration. This is an extremely important property from the Conservation Land Management point of view in the Albion Hills Area. (a) One- quarter of it is flood plain with a bush cover. This section of the property would be kept practically as it is now, and the only development required would be fishing trails along the banks of the Humber River; (b) There are several stretches along the Humber which require streambank erosion control measures; (c) The 20 acre upland hardwood bush is very young (the trees would average between 30 and 50 years) and with proper management practices is capable of becoming a valuable woodlot; (d) The southern fringe of the property would serve as an extension to the northern picnic areas in the existing Albion Hills Area and would provide badly needed shade in the Area; (e) The two swales could be improved by digging out to create wildlife ponds; (f) Steeply sloping banks require reforestation, and this would be done in conjunction with wildlife shrub plantings. In addition to its value for conservation measures which can be carried out on the property, it is of considerable strategic value because it provides further ownership along the 6th line of Albion Township which should eventually be closed as a public road, and it provides a further link in the extension of lands towards the Palgrave Forest and Wildlife Conservation Area. The cost of acquiring the land is estimated at $66,000.00, including legal and survey costs. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT: Scheme CA -52 "A Scheme for the Extension of the Albion Hills Conservation Area" be adopted; and further in this connection, the following action be taken: -3- A -157 (a) all member municipalities be designated as benefiting; (b) the Minister of Energy and Resources Management be requested to approve this scheme and a grant of 50% of the cost thereof; (c) when approved, the appropriate Authority Officials be authorized to take whatever action is required in connection with the scheme, including the execution of any necessary documents.

REPORT A -1$1 re WATERFRONT PLAN FOR THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO PLANNING AREA INTRODUCTION: The following letter has been received from the Commissioner of Planning for the Metropolitan Toronto Planning Area: METROPOLITAN TORONTO PLANNING BOARD City Hall - Toronto 1, Canada April 4, 1968 Mr. K. G. Higgs, Director of Operations, Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, Box 720, WOODBRIDGE, Ontario Dear Mr. Higgs: Before giving consideration to and recommending the Waterfront Plan to Council, the Metropolitan Toronto Planning Board has requested the comments from local municipalities, various interested and involved agencies, both public and private, and the Metropolitan departments. Copies of the report have already been provided to your office. Would you be good enough, therefore, to give consideration to the Plan and let us have the comments of your agency by June 30, 1968. FRL /np Yours very truly, FRANK R. LONGS'TAFF;s For: W. Wronski Commissioner of Planning The Waterfront Plan has been prepared under the direction of the Water- front Advisory and Technical Committees appointed by the Metropolitan Council. in October of 1962. The Authority is represented ou the Advisory Committee by Dr. Lord, who served as Vice - Chairman, and on the Technical Committee by K. G. Higgs. The pupose of this report is to review the proposed Waterfront Plan, to outline Authority projects affected by the Plan, and to submit recommendations for consideration of the Authority. THE WATERFRONT PLAN: The Metropolitan Toronto Region is characterized ry two distinct nature: features -- its river valleys and its waterfront. These two natural features provide us with a unique opportunity to develop an outstanding urban development. The need for a comprehensive Waterfront Plan was recognized by the Metropolitan Planning Board in its 1959 ?Draft? Official Plan. The preparation of the Waterfront Plan involved intensive investigation of fifty miles of lakefront included i the Metropolitan Planning Area -- from Clarkson in the west, to Carruthers Creek in the east. Within this fifty miles of lakefront there are fifty different jurisdictions and thirteen planning agencies. The main objectives of the Waterfront Plan can be summarized as follows: A -1E32 - 1. Economic (a) to make available the required amount of land and favourable physical conditions such as transportation for the expansion of harbour facilities (Outer Harbour) . (b) to make land and transportation facilities available for the expansion of and public utilities requiring lakeside location (Pickering Township and Mississauga) . (c) to make redevelopment of obsolete irrlustri.al and commercial installations on the waterfront feasible by the planning of suitable replacement uses (West Harbour and Etobi_co_ke) . (d) to provide land in new locations with adequate access for an expanded downtown airport which could be economically operated. (e) to create a viable residential community, where possible and desirable, with all required facilities and amenities (West Harbour and Etobicoke). (f) to provide land for the expansion and reorganization of the C.N.E. in order to maintain its importance in the area's economy. 2. Recreational (a) to increase the amount of land available for parks on ti e Waterfront for both passive and active recreation by purchase of existing shore lands or the creation of new land by filling of the lake. Such land to be made available for both local and regional park purposes. (b) to increase the amount of protected water for small boat harbours and marinas (a goal of 5,000 boat spaces and launching ramps with a daily capacity of 6,000 boats per day) as well as waterways for aquatic sports (along the City Beaches, the Islands, Etobicoke and Scarborough water- front and Frenchmani s Bay) . (c) to increase the amount of land in the Island parks (by fill) and to maintain their pedestrian character. At the same time, to improve the access to the Islands by both private and public transportation, including parking facilities, but retaining the ferry transportation as one of the parks' attractions. (d) to provide, if required, land for extensive sport facilities, capable of handling Olympic requirements in locations well served by public transit and road facilities (East-ern Beaches). (e) to increase the mileage of public beaches frcrn 4 to 16 miles. (f) to afford virtually unlimited public access to the lake in the form of scenic drives and connected lakeshore parks. 3. General Aims (a) to preserve and protect the natural features of the lakefront such as the Bluffs. (b) to protect historic sites such as Fort York. (c) to penetrate with scenic drives interspaced with lookouts the major points of interest and activity on the waterfront such as the harbour and major utility installations. (d) to protect stable residential neighbourhoods from fill routes and recreational traffic (in .5ca.rborou ;h and Etobicoke). - 3 - A -183 (e) in view of the extensive land fill program, to institute stringent lake pollution control measures. The following quotation from the text concisely summarizes the reationale of the Waterfront Plan: y'....In very broad terms, the objective of this plan is a handsome water- front, balanced in its land uses, complementary to adjacent areas, readily accessible and fully cognizant of the features which nature has providbd. The plan must be feasible technically, and should permit flexibility in detailed design and staging. It should be capable of implementation within a foreseeable period, and must be within supportable costs. To be merely acceptable is not enough. The plan must include dramatic proposals, for it is these which fire the imagination, and stimulate the drive to proceed. In recognition of the extent of commitment along the whole shore, however, the total concept must be essentially evolution- ary, rather than revolutionary. Avenues must be left open for continued evolution under the guidance of succeeding generations -- ca TH E WAT ERFRONT : The entire fifty miles of waterfront was divided into the following sectors for a detailed study and analysis: - Mississauga Sector - Etobicoke Sector - Western Beaches Sector - Central Sector - Eastern Beaches Sector - Scarborough Sector - Pickering Sector The following is a brief outline of the objectives of each sector: (1) Mississauga Sector - .Ob-ectives: - The development of this sector of the waterfront should satisfy the anticipated needs of a population estimd to be 250,000 by the year 1980. - The provision of public open space on the waterfront for a variety of recreational facilities and the-provision of new access roads which will avoid traffic conflicts between competing uses. Port Credit and the eastern section of Mississauga are substantially developed and in these areas the objective is to encourage the consolidation of established uses and to create new public open space by landfill schemes. - The preparation of established residential neighbourhoods and the provision of more parkland in those areas where high densities are to be encouraged. - The provision of sites for marina and boat launching facilities in accordance with estimated demand. - To take advantage of the few opportunities which exist to increase the extent of waterfront accessible to the public. This will be accomplished by limited acquisition of private property, the development of land owned by the Ontario Water Resources Commiss- ion for park purposes, and the reclamation of land on a limited scale by using excavated material from the Mississauga -Port Credit area. (2) Etobicoke Sector -Objectives: - To create land for a wide range of essentially water oriented recreation facilities to meet the growing needs of Western Metropolitan Toronto. A -1831 - 4 - - Redevelopment of those perti ons of the waterfront where high density apartments will be provir' ed for and stimulainad. - Preser- %ti.on of stable neighbourhoods will be assisted by the provision of a more attractive and useable waterfront and the creation of space for additional local recreation. Careful design will protect th,:-se neighbourhoods from traffic and effects of the establishment of major Metropolitan parks. - The new waterfront in the Etobicoke Sector will be developed by massive landfill operations in the lake, and is predicated on the use of various fill materials (including selected wastes and hydro fly ash) placed behind impervious dykes extending out to about 25-feet of water depth. -- To carry out demonstration fill projects to test techniques and materials to be used in filling. (3) Western Sector - Objectives: - The principle objective for the Western Beaches Sector is to provide for the parks strip and waterway within the narrow limits imposed by the partial arterial roads and the breakwater. New boat launching facilities, more space for existing clubs, improve- ments to the breakwater entrances and the interception of the Humbr River silt are requisites for the future uses of the waterway. .- Improvements to the sewer system and measures to control algae propogation Improved pedestrian access across the barrier road and rail lines to serve south Parkdale as a district park. - The safe pedestrian connection to the Lower Humber Valley. -. Care and taste in detailed design and landscaping to enhance the imposing entrance to the city; (4) Central Sector - ObJec ivies : - To provide for the efficient and economical growth of the Port. r - To create a new downtown airport that will serve the business coinm.unity and the Metropolitan Area in a convenient way, and w5" out prejudice to the building ;development in the central business district. �. To promote the continued improvement of the Harbour Industrial Area. To provide for the redevelopment of the western inner harbour and existing airport lands for uses compatible with the near downtown and waterfront location. - To improve access to the Island Park. - To create space for the expansion of the Canadian National Exhibition, - To increase public access to the harbour and downtown waterfront. - To achieve these objectives on a financially sound basis, and in such a way that maximum flexibility in detailed design remains within a cohesive development concept. 5) Eastern2e&ejles So^ctor Oi?,iective s .- A. :Limited filling programme designed to create additional lands which will enhance nre:iont conditions and facilities, - 5 A -185 - Extension of the site of the main sewage treatment plant by means of landfill. - Provision of new boat launching and mooring facilities to replace existing inadequate facilities in Ashbridgets Bay. - Preservation and enhancement of the present natural beaches. - Landscaping improvements to screen some of the surrounding land uses. - Redevelopi;ient of the area between"Woodbinee Avenue and Kew Gardens and sep- .ling the residential traffic from the beach traffic. A massive landfill programme to create new land areas in the Eastern Sector is feasible if a decision is made to proceed with a major complex for competitive sports and international games. (6) Scarborough Sector - Objectives: - The principle objective in the Scarborough Sector is to create _lakefront park areas which will be motropalitan in size, function, and attraction. - The limited amount of fill in the Lake should be directed mainly to the provision of space for water- oriented recreational facilities especially boating, Which are required to serve the Eastern end of the Metropolitan area. The fill areas will afford a water -level view of the rugged grandeur of the Bluffs. Particular efforts should be-made to secure the view of the Bluffs at their most spectacular points, notably at The Needles and at The Cathedral Bluffs. - To observe and enhance the relatively new attractive and stable neighbourhoods of single - family homes which adjoin the top of the Bluffs along most of-their length. This to be done by creating a more attractive and useable waterfront, the creation of space for additional local recreational facilities and through careful design and access planning, also the protection of these neighbourhoods from induced traffic. - To retain "the potential over the long -term for higher density residential buildings. - To provide short stretches of protected water and small-boat harbours to afford some shelter along the Ashbridge9s Bay- Frenchman4= Bay stretch of the lakefront. - A series of loop drive -ways to provide access to the Metropolitan Parks from arterial roads. - Elimination of erosion by wave action along the toe of the slope. This will be achieved in part by lakefill, by beach build -ups, timber groynes, and breakwaters; The limited fill plan is designed to provide for a more -ambitious landfill scheme if felt desirable in the future. - Extension and development of existing Metropolitan Parks by land purchases at the top of the Bluffs and filling in the lake.
