Lunn Chairman Secretary- Treasurer SCHEDULE "A" h -12 THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN TO THE ANNUAL MEETING February 9th, 1962 INTRODUCTION: The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority came into being, by special amendment to The Conservation Authorities Act, on February 1st, 1957. It brought together the four Authorities in the area, three of which had been established prior to the formation of the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. It had been felt, that in order to achieve the united effort required in this great metropolitan area, a consolidation of operation and financing was imperative. The success achieved by the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority during its five years of existence has amply justified its formation. The area under the Authorityes jurisdiction is comprised of the watershed4 or drainage basins, of nine streams: the Etobicoke, Mimic :, Humber, Don, Rouge, Duffin, Highland, Petticoat and Carruthers. These watersheds extend from Long Branch, at the mouth of the Etobicoke, north -west to the source of the Humber in Dufferin County, thence easterly into Uxbridge Township, and south -east to Ajax, at the mouth of Carruthers Creek. These watersheds contain one thousand square miles in which nearly one -tenth of the population of Canada resides. Twenty -three municipalities have all, or part of their areas, within these watersheds and constitute the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. THE AUTHORITY: When the Authority was formed in 1957, its membership was set at 51; 25 from Metropolitan Toronto and 25 from the 22 municipalities other than Metro. The Chairman was appointed by the Lieutenant - Governor in Council. Over the years, the number of members has changed slightly due to population changes and it now Qtands at 55. By a change in the Act in 1960, the A -13 - 2 - Government gained the right to appoint tree members to an Authority. The Metro Authority has been happy to welcome Major A. A. Mackenzie, M.C., M.POP., and Mr. Alfred Cowling, M.P.P0, who have added strength and encouragement to our deliberations. Members of the Authority, its Advisory Board members and Committees have again demonstrated that they are an energetic and dedicated group of people. There were approximately one hundred different persons active on the various Committees and Boards of the Authority during 1961. There were approximately $6 meetings of Authority, Executive, Boards and Committees during the year. I would like to pay tribute especially to the members of the Executive Committee who met 23 times during 1961. To this Committee falls the day -to -day rather unglamorous detailed work of running the affairs of the Authority. Attendance at Executive Meetingslas been remarkably faithful. It has been a distinct pleasure for me, as Chairman, to have had the opportunity to work with my respected colleagues on the Executive Committee. My particular thanks are -end.ered to your able Vice - Chairman, Mr. William C. Davidson, Q.C., whose wise counsel and generous support were available constantly throughout the year. THE STAFF: Policy matters ccnnected with Authority business are studied by Advisory Boards, the Executive Committee and finally determined by the Authority. The execution of plans and the operation of our large enterprise are the responsibility of the staff. We are indeed fortunate in possessing an outstanding, staff which is proving itself capable of handling all of our growing problems with initiative, energy and enthusiasm. In 1957, the ctaff consisted of F. L. Lunn, Secretary - Treasurero. and one stenographer in the administration division, and Senior Field Officer K. G. Higgs with a field staff of five. This staff has grown over the years until it numbers sixteen in the administrative staff, sixteen in the technical staff and - 3 - A -14 52 in the field. The staff was augmented by some 93 temporary appointments during the Summer season of 1961. The staff positions, duties and line of authority have recently been streamlined as indicated below: CHAIRMAN SECRETARY- TREASURER DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS Office and Ac bunts Division Flood Control Water Conservation Div. Property Division Conservation Areas Division Conservation Patrol Division Conservation Services Division Information & Education Division Historical Sites Division I wish again to pay tribute to the energy, initiative and untiring efforts of Mr. F. L. Lunn, Secretary - Treasurer, and Mr. K. G. Higgs, Director of Operations. These gentlemen have furthered the administrative and operational work of the Authority during 1961 in a most exemplary manner. THE FINANCES OF THE AUTHOR :TY: Three classes of financing have been carried out by the Authority during its five years of existence. The first is for capital expense, such as Dams, Reservoirs, Reforestation Land, and Conservation Areas. The Authority?s share of payment for these are borne by the member municipalities which benefit from the Scheme. In most cases, all municipalities have been designated as benefitting. The second is maintenance on capital costs and i,.s.,paid directly by the Authority. This cost has not been as larrge ;a10 the first named and is partially offset by income derived from parking fees. The third is called "administrative costs ", and includes all of those activities which an Authority might be expected to engage in except capital and maintenance costs -- such as salaries and travelling expenses, office rent and equipment, tree planting machines, exhibits visual equipment, printed matter, farm ponds, the investigation of reforestation lands, and other conservation projects. Grants are made by the Ontario Government to all types of Conservation Schemes except Historical Sites and maintenance. The policy regarding grants is not fixed but may be varied from year to year. At the present time the grants for Flood Control Schemes over five million dollars may be supported by the A -15 - 4 - Government of Canada, under the Canada Water Conservation Assist- ance Act to the extent of 37i %, and 371% by the Government of Ontario, and the remaining 25% by the Authority. The Agreement between the Government of Ontario and the Authority embracing our $38 million Scheme was finalized on June 14th, 1961, on the above basis. For large -scale reforestation, the contribution is 50% for land purchases, and 100% for management, under agreement with the Department of Lands and Forests. For Conservation Areas in which parks are situated, the acquisition of Flood Plain Lands (not included in the Flood Control Scheme) and all items included in "Administration Costs ", the grants are 50 %. The cost of Historic Sites, including the Pioneer Village, is borne entirely by the Authority. The growth in our activities over the past five years can be illustrated by the expenditures in various divisions of our work.

These advisory boards are responsible for the detailed policy work of the Authority. In addition, some ten sub - committees have been appointed for specific purposes. Most of the members of the Authority sit upon at least two advisory boards. Thus, most of the business coming before the full Authority has been given preliminary consideration by at least one advisory board as well as by the Executive Committee. It is well to emphasize this chain of responsibility, else a casual observer of an Authority meeting might often be led to suppose that matters are passed without weighty consideration of that body. The statutory or watershed advisory boards supply a useful function in that they act as a forum before which individual members may raise any questions which are of particular urgency and interest in the given watershed. In many instances, matters arising in the watershed boards are referred to specific functional boards for further consideration and action. The functional boards are: Flood Control and Water Conservation (formerly Flood and Pollution Control), Conservation Services (formerly Land Use and Reforestation), Conservation Areas, Historical Sites and Information and Education. In addition an Expropriation Advisory Board deals specifically with certain property matters. FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER CONSERVATION: When the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority was formed in 1957, it was fully appreciated that the furtherance of a Flood Control Plan would be one of its primary objectives. The ravages of Hurricane Hazel in 1954 were still vividly remembered with its death toll of $1; 1,$00 families left homeless, $24 million of damage done and untold havoc and disruption in a great metropolitan area. Thus, in 195$, the Authority completed its Plan of Flood Control and Water Conservation. The Plan called for an expenditure of $3$ million over a ten -year period for the construct- ion of sixteen Flood Control Dams, the purchase of 7,600 acres A -17 -6- of Flood Plain Lands, the construction of Channel Improvements and the carrying out of certain ancillary measures. The preparation of the Flood Control Plan and the shepherding of it through the various levels of Government; Municipal, Provincial and Federal, took tirne. The Plan was approved by the Authority on September 2nd, 1959, and was presented to each of the twenty -three member Municipalities in the Fall of 1959 and Spring of 1960. The Province of Ontario approved the Plan in 1960 and the Government of Canada in 1961. The Agreements between the Governments of Canada and Ontario and between Ontario and the Authority were finally signed by the respective Ministers and the Chairman of the Authority on June 14th, 1961. Even before the presentation and approval of the Plan for Flood Control, the Authority had initiated and carried forward several Schemes involving Flood Control. Since this report is, among other things, a review of the first five years of our activities, it is expedient that a brief listing of the Flood Control Schemes be given. A number of Water Control Schemes were undertaken during 1957 and 195$. The largest of these was in the Lower Humber River from Dundas Street to the Lakeshore. This project included the acquisition of over two hundred acres of Flood Plain Land and the construction of six weirs. Over one thousand concrete blocks, weighing six tons each, were used in the building of retaining walls along the river banks adjacent to the weirs. Flood Plain Lands, both those acquired from the municipalities and those privately owned have been acquired by the Authority. These lands, amounting at the present time to approximately 3,200 acres are located mainly along the Humber, Don, and Rouge Rivers and the Highland Creek. The first Scheme to be completed by the Authority was one to relieve annual flooding at Goodwood. A unit was installed to pump water from collection ditches, over the height of land into Duffin Creek. This 03,000. Scheme was A -1$ - 7 - officially opened on October 3, 195$. In addition to the construction of six weird in the Lower Humber River, extensive channel improvements were carried out on the West Branch of the Don at York Mills and the first section of the Black Creek construction from the Humber River to Scarlett Road was completed in 1959. Also, our first Flood Control Dam was built on the upper reaches of the Black Creek and this Dam operated successfully during the 1960 'Spring flood period. The vitally important Flood Warning System wam instituted in 1957 and has been gradually extended and perfected. Future ,plans in this connection will envisage radio link -up with all vital stations and perhaps some form bf remote control. There are now eight Recording Stream Gauges,and four Recording Rain Gauges located at strategic points in the area. In addition, there are a large number of manual Rain Gauges. The enactment of Flood Plain Regulations in 1960 has given the Authority a measure of control over any filling of Flood Plain Lands, which might reduce the capacity of the channels to carry flood waters. The proper application of these regulations requires constant vigilance on the part of our staff and municipal officials to discover violations before they become serious. In the matter of stream pollution, much-still needs to be done in the area. The Authority'is dependent for actidn'in'' cases of serious stream pollution upon the Ontario-Water Resources Commission. Your officers and staff have maintained close and cordial relations with the members of the Commission and its senior officials. The Commission appears to be sympathetic to our overall objective and at least in one case prevented the location of a proposed sewage disposal plant one - and - one -half miles upstream from a planned Authority Reservoir. We are hopeful that the Commission and the Authority can work and plan together for what must be, in the long run, similar objectives. The s'xecution of the Plan for Flood Control and Water Conservation is moving forward steadily. The contract for,the 'l, A -19 - $ - Black Creek Channelization from Scarlett Road to Rockcliffe Boulevard has been signed and construction will proceed during the Spring of 1962. The Consulting Engineers are James F. MacLaren Associates, and the contractors, McNamara Construction, Company, Limited. Preliminary Engineering Studies and Surveys are well under way far the channelization of the Don River from the Domino Bridge to the Rosedale Golf Fourse, in York Mills. The Consulting Engineer on this work is W. 0. Chisholm, P. Eng. The firm of James F. MacLaren, Consulting Engineers, has completed the final engineering for the $300,000. Woodbridge Flood Control Channel. This project is urgent, since it must be carried out in conjunction with the Highway relocation project now under way at Woodbridge. Final engineering is nearing completion on the Claire - ville Dam and Reservoir which is to be located on the West Branch of the Humber River, about five miles West of Woodbridge. The plans for this project are now in the advanced stage because the Authority carried out preliminary engineering design work Well in advance of the signing of the Flood Control Agreements. The Engineers are James F. MacLaren Associates and the construction will be carried out during 1962 and 1963. Acquisition of the majority of the properties for the Milne Reservoir at Markham Village has been completed. The Consulting Engineers, R. V. Anderson and Associates, have been appointed to carry out the Preliminary Engineering Studies. The Preliminary Studies of Reservoir Sites on Duffin Creek are now under way, under the direction of R. K. Kilborn and Company, Consulting Engineers. H. G. Acres and Company, well -known Consulting Engineers in the hydraulic field have been appointed to make studies for Reservoirs on the Don River. The firm of J. F. MaLaren and Associates and to present a plan for currying out engineering studies regarding the remain- ing Dams on the East and West Branches of the Humber River. A -20 -9- In addition, this firm is completing plans for the remaining sections of the $4 million Black Creek Channel Improvements, and the Wilson Avenue to Rustic Avenue section is expected to be ready for contract tender by March 1st, 1962. In the matter of the acquisition of Flood Plain Lands under the Flood Control Plan, the Ontario Government has given its approval to preliminary property plans concerning the Eglinton Flats, lower Rouge Valley, lower Duffin Creek, as well as lands in the Don Valley and Highland Creek areas. The total land acquisition to date under the Scheme amounts to 79$ acres. In my last Annual Report, it was again emphasized that our Flood Control Plan was our most urgent business. Happily, I am now able to report the signing of the Agreements and very substantial progress in carrying forward the Plan. CONSERVATION SERVICES: You will be asked at this Annual Meeting to approve a change in the name of the Reforestation and Land Use Advisory Board to Conservation Services Advisory Board. This change in name seems to be desirable in order to encompass the broadening scope of the activities of this Board. During 1957 and 195$ this Board developed a long -range programme designed to aid in conserving the basic resources of soil, forests and water. This programme was initiated with the excellent co- operation of the Departments of Agriculture and Lands and Forests. The Authority became concerned about the Dutch Elm disease and carried out a survey in 195$. Spraying was instituted on the Authority lands and advice has been given to private owners and Municipalities. Further, in order to provide remedial measures for the Dutch Elm disease, the Board has been carrying out a farm -tree replacement programme, which will provide trees for farm lanes and fences, so that dead elm trees may be replaced by species not presently threatened by disease. These plantings, in addition to providing tangible benefits, will aid in maintain- ing an attractive rural landscape. In the matter of tree planting, A -21 - 10 - your Authority has made a considerable contribution to reforestat- ion;of our own and private lands. The record is as follows: REFORESTATION IN CONSERVATION AREAS 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 Albion Hills 12,000 6,600 57,000 69,000 Boyd 5,000 8,500 22,300 7,000 Dingle 45,000 25,000 10,000 15,400 Greenwood 9,000 Heart Lake 24,000 Glen Haffy 2,000 12,000 Uxbridge 12,000 25,000 10,000 Cold Creek 2$,000 Claremont 65,00 TOTAL 24,000 80,600 60,500 108,300 196,900 The trews planted on private lands have made an impressive total over the five years.

A small subsidy is paid for each of these projects if properly engineered and constructed. During the period of 1957 to 1961, 725 pond owners were provided with technical assistance and 210 were assisted financially. Grassed waterways and approximately 9,$00 feet of tiled drains have been subsidized to assist in the reclamation of 75 acres of wet land. In its fish and wildlife programme, the Authority has stocked some 105 ponds with fish and carried out other research such as aquatic weed control. In the matter of encouragement of wildlife through the development of proper habitat, the Authority kas grown thousands of shrubs at the Boyd Nursery. CONSERVATION AREAS: Naturally, the acquisition of lands for conservation purposes has been a major undertaking of the Authority during its A -22 first five years. It is important to emphasize that these lands with major recreation potential are called Conservation Areas. These Areas are not parks, in the usual sense, since such lands must also perform a job for conservation. Recreation is, there- fore, an important and commendable by- product. In 1957, and 195$, five Conservation Areas had been opened -- namely, Albion Hills, Boyd, Heart Lake, Greenwood and Dalziel. Glen Haffy was opened in June 1959 by Mr. F. G. Gardiner; the Black Creek Area in June 1960 by his honour the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, and Humber Trails in July 1960. The Claremont Area was opened in August 1941 by Mr. Gardiner. The steady development of the Areas has led to an ever increasing acceptance by the public. The Conservation Areas stand out in the minds of hundreds of thousands of our citizens as the primary marks of proper conservation practices in the Metropolitan region. The growth in size and the record tot attendance has been noted below. CONSERVATION AREAS 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 Attendance 126,000 350,000 440,000 780,000 860,000 Area, acres 991.5 1,652 2,550 3,750 4,200 A notable addition to the Conservation Areas to be opened to the public in 1962 will be the Cold Creek Area. This Area has been designated as a sportsmen2s Conservation Area. A pond for casting, fishing and dog trials, field and target archery courses, and public picnic areas will be provided. The famous Cold Creek swamp will be maintair.,ed in its natural state. The completion of the Heart Lake Recreation Building has added a facility which is unique in Conservation Areas having been provided with locker facilities, change- rooms, and snack bar. It is available not only for Summer but also for Winter use for skating and skiing parties. The Centre will increasingly provide a meeting place for Authority and conservation groups in a setting far removed from city cares. A -23 - 12 - HISTORICAL SITES: The Historical Sites Advisory Board devoted its early work to the development of the Pioneer Museum. This Museum was acquired from the former Humber Valley Authority and has always been a popular educational institution. The old barn which was built in 1$08 is 82 feet long, 30 feet wide and is built of foot -thick pine and oak timbers. It houses pioneer exhibits depicting the lives of our early settlers in Ontario. Even in 1957, the Authority laid plans for the develop- ment of the Pioneer Village, located on the Stong farm at the corner of Steeles Avenue and Jane Street in Metropolitan Toronto. Under the close supervision of the Historical Sites Advisory Board, and the Technical Sub - Committee, and Mr. Napier Simpson, Jr., architect, the Village is steadily developing to become one of the fine-5t examples of a cross -roads pioneer settlement on the continent. The Village will represent a typical pioneer settlement in this part of Ontario during the period 17$0 to 1$67. The living Village is designed to show a progression of society from the date of first settlement, before the land was cleared, to the point where communities were developed to service the needs of the expanding economy of the Province. The Village was officially dedicated on June 2, 1960, by the Honourable J. Keiller MacKay, D.S.O.,V.D.,LL.D., Lieutenant - Governor of the Province of Ontario. The Authority plans to complete the development in time for an official opening in 1967 and it is hoped that this event will be a significant contribution to Canada2s Centennial celebrations. The Village now possesses the original farm house, second farm house, barn, squire9s house, school house, artisans house, ohurc' blacksmith shop, store and cider mill. The Authority is now proposing to add to this significant list the old Montgomery Inn located on Dundas Street in Etobicoke. The attendance at the Village has been most gratifying, growing from 32,000 `,n 1959 to 99,000 in 1961, with 380 school groups comprising 16,000 students. £he annual Pioneer Festival held etch Pr 1, _ t tra 2t -:o ,: p 1l onn • - 13 - A -24 INFORMATION AND EDUCATION: The great interest of the public in the Authority conservation programme has been stimulated by the activities of this Advisory Board. There hasbeen extensive and sympathetic coverage of the Authority9s work by press, radio and television. The co- operation of all of these media has enabled the Authority to keep its objectives and developments constantly before the public. The Metropolitan and regional press have published many articles and editorials on conservation. Most of our Executive Meetings and Authority Meetings have been attended by members of the press. We are very grateful for this excellent coverage, since we realize that conservation in the region can only march forward at an adequate pace if the public is well informed and sympathetic towards our programmes. The Board has been ably assisted and advised by a capable public relations consultant. This Board is responsible for the public events, such as openings of Areas, tours, and other festivities. During 1961, Claremont Area was opened, a successful Pioneer Festival held, a junior trout fishing day, land judging contests, school visits, and several Authority and other tours. The Board has printed and distributed, over 9$0,000 pieces of literature since 1957 and its film The Legacy of the Valleys44 has been shown to over $,000 people in 210 individual showings. Members of the Authority and staff gave 61 lectures during 1961. The Board is still planning to build its Conservation School in the Albion Hills Area as soon as funds are obtained. Through the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation, there is now definite hope that funds may be forthcoming to start construction of this project in 1962. THE FOUNDATION: During the year 1961, a very notable event took place in the establishment of a charitable foundation to be known as the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation A -25 - 14 - Foundation. The purpose of the Foundation is to accept tax -free donations and bequests for the purpose of furthering those projects of the Authority which might be designated from time to time by the members of the Foundation, The Directors of the Foundation are Mr. F. A. Wade, Chairman; Mr. F. G. Gardiner,Q.C., Vice - Chairman; Mr. W. C. Davidson, Q.C., Mr. H. S. Honsberger and G. Ross Lord. The additional Members of the Foundation are Mr. Walter Gordon, Mr. R. MacMichael, Lady Eaton, Mr. J. D. Gibson, Mr. R. A. Laidlaw, Mrs. D. Hague, Mr. K. C. Dalglish, Mrs. J. A. Gardner, Mr. B. O. Partridge, and Dr. Alan C. Secord. The Foundation has already obtained promises of support for the construction and furnishing of the Conservation School and is attempting to raise funds for the removal to and reconstruction of the Montgomery Inn at the Pioneer Village. The Foundation promises to provide an important body through which citizens, industries, and organizations may make contrib- utions both large and small to the general work of conservation or for definitely designated parts of this work. On behalf of the Authority, I wish to thank Mr. F. A. Wade, Chairman, and the Members of the Foundation for their support and for their anticipated efforts on behalf of the Foundation. THE MUNICIPALITIES: In the one thousand square mile area of the Authority, there are twenty -three municipalities who are our partners in the great work of conservation. In these municipalities there are now 1,777,$57 people, or about one -tenth of the population of Canada. We are told that this population will grow to 4,000,000 by the year 2000. It thus becomes very clear that the Conservation Areas, Pioneer Village, Flood Plain Lads and Reforested Lands will grow in importance as the open living space decreases in our area. We are happy to say that all of the municipalities realize the importance of our work and have supported us financially in both the general budget and the Flood Control Plan. To our municipal partners, we express our sincere thanks and pledge to them continued diligence and energy in fostering and developing the very best conservation - 15 - A -26 measures in the Region. Our largest municipal partner is, of course, the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, which provides 92% of our ordinary municipal levy. Metro has always given us strong enpport and shown an appreciation for the accomplishments of conservation. Through the efforts of the Metropolitan Parks Department, whose able Commissioner is Mr. T. W. Thompson, the Flood Plain Lands within Metro are being developed as Metropolitan Parks. The Humber River Valley, below Dundas Street and the Lower Highland Creek Area are indiottive of the fine facilities which are being developed by the Metro Parks Department for the recreational enjoyment of its citizens. Since my last Annual Report, the long -time Chairman of the Corporation of Metropolitan Tornto, Mr. F. G. Gardiner,Q.C. has retired. In Mr. Gardiner, the Authority had a staunch and appreciative supporter. Many times your Chairman was en- couraged in the work by the Metro Chairman who said that the works of the Authority would stand for all time for the benefit of all of the people in the river valleys. On your behalf, I wish to thank Mr. Gardiner for his many acts, opening Conservation Areas, wise counsel and support in multitudinous ways and to wish him well on his return to the private practice of the law. THE ONTARIO GOVERNMENT: When the Authority was formed in 1957, the Act was administered by the Department of Planning and Development and the Conservation -- Branch of that Department looked after the worklof Authorities. On January 27, 1961, the above Depart- ment became known as the Department of Commerce and Develop- ment. The Authority gratefully acknowledges the splendid assistance given by the Government of Ontario in providing fO% of the cost of all Schemes, including the purchase and development of recreation Areas, 50% for administration and 75% for preliminary engineering studies, as well as 37o A -27 - 16 - of the cost, in general, of Flood Control Works under the Agree- ment with the Government of Canada. The Authority is particularly grateful to the Honourable W. M. Nickles. Q.C., the responsible Minister of the above -named Departm eats, for his interest in the Authorityes work over the past five years and for the provision of the facilities of his Department in carrying out our work. From the start of conservation work in the Province until his retirement on November 30th, 1961, Mr. A. Herbert Richardson, P.Eng., was Director of the Conservation Branch and Chief Conservation Engineer. Serving in 1957 as the first Chairman of this Authority, Mr. Richardson, more than any man in Ontario, has made a truly tremendous contribution to the development of conservation in the Province. Beginning with the famous Ganaraska report, he has produced conservation reports on most of the Authority watersheds and has seen the movement grow to 31 Authorities, involving 450 municipalities and covering twenty thousand square miles. In accomplishing this work, Mr. Richardson developed a talented and competent staff in the Conservation Branch and provided services to the struggling Authorities which made it possible for each to succoed to the full of its possibilities. I join with you and all of the other Authorities in paying tribute to Mr. A. Herbert Richardson and in wishing him many, many, more fruitful years in the conservation work to which he has contributed so much, for which he has achieved so much and from which he has derived such great personal satisfaction. On January lst, 1962, a significant change was made in the Government administration of conservation matters. The administration of the Conservation Authorities Act was transferred to the Department of Lands and Forests. At the same time the Conservation Branch was transferred to this Department. The Minister of Lands and Forests, the Honourable J. W'. Spooner, lost little time in making a friendly contact with the Authorities. On January 30th, 1962, he called together the Chairmen of the 31 Authorities for a conference. At this - 17 - A -2$ conference, the Chairmen were introduced to Mr. Frank MacDougall, Deputy - Minister, and to the senior officials of the Department of Lands and Forests. An opportunity was afforded for the Chairmen to present their views and the Minister outlined several ways in which the Department proposed to expedite conservation business. Your Chairman came away from the meeting with the feeling that Mr. Spooner and his staff were keenly interested in making the vast facilities of the Department avail- able to assist the Authorities in their work. THE FUTURE: After five years of progress, one is tempted to try to take a look toward the future spheres of endeavour of our Authority. Undoubtedly, we are set upon a course which will determine much of our work for at least ten years ahead. In the rounding out of our Conservation Areas, there is still work to be done. The completion of the Pioneer Village presents a challenge which must be met by 1967. The establishment of a Conservation School has long been an objective which now promises to be achieved through the assistance to be provided by the F77'indation, The implementation of the Flood Control Plan has just nicely begun. The next ten years will see its gradual completion. Perhaps few of us realize fully what a b3on this great plan will be to the area. For instance, the Clai.~eville Dam, on the West Branch of the Humber, will create a permanent lake of 120 acres, contiguous to which will be some 1,200 acres of conservation lands. When one multiplies this picture tenfold, it becomes apparent that, in addition to Flood Control, the Plan will provide many delightful conservation by- products. Looking back over the past fi—e years, we may derive quiet satisfaction from the achievements of the Authority. It has taken financial support to bring about these works. There is nothing sadder than a Conservation Authority with work to do and no funds with which to do it. Fortunately, this Authority has received reasonable support from the Government of Ontario and from its municipalities for its ordinary work. A -29 - 1$ - Further, the Governments of Canada and Ontario have entered into an Agreement with the Authority to carry out in its entirety the Flood Control Plan which we have proposed. It would now seem that the time has arrived for other agencies to join with us in furthering the worth -while work. The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation is in existence, and is ready to receive gifts. There is now a real opportunity for public- spirited industries, associations, and private citizens to make contributions to the many facets of conservation. Numerous projects are available to which Government support cannot be given directly. I refer to the completion of the Pioneer Village, the Pioneer Museum, and the Conservation School, along with many other worth -while projects. It is my hope that in the next five years we will witness a growing activity in this voluntary aspect. /K Go Ross Lord, Chairman February 9, 1962 Metropolitan, Joro�c% and )eeion A-30 Con,,servation �iath,oriEy MINUTES Authority lvieeting Wednesday, February 21st, 1962 No.2 The 2nd Meeting of the Authority was held in the Swansea Municipal Offices, 95 Lavinia Avenue, Swansea, Ontario, commenc- ing at 3:00 p.m. PRESENT WERE: Chairman Dr. G.
