SCHEDULE IAA REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN TO THE ANNUAL MEETING RBBRUARY 4, 1960 A -9 Introduction: It is now just two years since I became the Chairman of this Authority. I continue to be amazed and pleased at the vigour of its growth and the sustained interest in all of its work, maintained by the Authority members and the members of Boards and Committees. The staff, under the capable leadership of Fred Lunn, Secretary- Treasurer, and Kenneth Higgs, Director of Operations, has rendered another year of excellent service. I cannot speak too warmly in praise of their devoted work and attention to the business of your Authority. W. William Davidson, Authority Vice - Chairman, has given me strong support during the entire year. The Years Work There have been 67 meetings during the year of the Authority, its :advisory Boards and Committees. The Authority had 57 members during 1959 and will have 53 in 1960, in all, 90 different people acted on our Boards and Committees during the year. The Watershed Advisory Boards have faithfully observed the work and reported on urgent matters connected with their areas. The functional Advisory Boards were also active and a short summary of their operations is justified. Conservation Areas. During the year 1959,650 acres were added to the Conservation Areas..'' They now stand at - Heart Lake - 247 acres, Glen Haffy - 307 acres, 4►lbion Hills - 596 acres, Cold Creek - 252 acres, Boyd - 698 acres, Black Creek - $5 acres, Oakbank Community Pond - 6 acres, Uxbridge - 90 acres, Glen Major - 67 acres, Greenwood - 406 acres, Claremont - 300 acres, Dingle - 150 acres, total 3,204 acres. The Glen Haffy Area was opened on June 24th, 1959 by Mr. Frederick G. Gardiner, Q. C. There has been a very successful year at this charming new area where trout fishing is available to old -2- ► -10 and younger visitors. The view from the Glen Haffy look -out is one long to be remembered. The attendance figure at the areas in 1958 was 320,000, in 1959 the attendance was $00,000. This is surely both an indication of the need for such areas and an approval on the part of the public of our efforts to maintain natural areas for their use. Reforestation & Land Use Advisory Board During the year 350,000 trees were planted and 67 farm ponds received a subsidy. The Board continues by every possible means to promote and develop reforestation, better land use, tile drainage and farm ponds. Its work is basic in our conservation scheme. Historic Sites Advisory Board The Pioneer Museum continues to attract an increasing number of people. During the year 32,000 entered the building, including 4,000 school children. The Pioneer Festival in September attracted 5,000 persons. The Pioneer Village continues to occupy a large part of the energy of this Board and the staff. The Board is very fortunate in having a Technical sub - committee under the chairmanship of Professor T. F. Mcllwraith which is following through all of the details of the reconstruction of the village. It is hoped to open the partially completed Village to the public in 1960. Information & Education Advisory Board Under the guidance of this Board and with the advice of the Ontario Editorial Bureau, excellent press, radio and television coverage has been secured. The public appears to be very much interested in our work as evidenced for requests for addresses which were delivered by the chairman, members of the Authority and the staff. This Advisory Board has been kept very busy issuing bulletins of the Authority and especially having the large Flood Control brief printed. The work of the Board has been most effective during the year and in many cases its work has been behind the scenes, but nevertheless just as essential as any of the work done by the other Boards. Flood & Pollution Advisory Board In my report to you at the last Annual Meeting -.it was stated that our important Water Conservation and Flood Control brief had been prepared. During the year it was printed and has been presented to -3 each of 20 municipalities in our region. I am happy to be able to report that all of the municipalities have approved the plan and agreed to support it. In December 1959, the Brief was presented to the Minister of Planning & Development, the Honourable, N. M. Nickle, Q.C. It is now being considered by the officials of the Government of Ontario and it is our earnest hope that an approval of the plan will be forthcoming shortly. Only after the Flood Control plan is approved by the Govern- ment of Ontario, are we in a position to take it to Ottawa. A dele- gation should go to Ottawa sometime during the early spring. It is an indisputable fact that our Flood Control plan is by long odds the most important business before our Authority at this time. All other projects, work and plans must take second place. The achieve- ment of this plan is so vital to the region that a few timely words from me now are justified. You all recall that the total cost of the plan is estimated to be 34 million dollars, exclusive of the Black Creek costs. It is a good plan, it is based upon the best technical advice and research obtainable. The need for flood control in our region is beyond any doubt, since floods have occurred regularly over the last 100 years. There have been 7$ floods on the Humber and 60 on the Don. The greatest flood of all, Hurricane Hazel, in 1954, was indeed terrifying. It is well to keep it fresh in our memories. Eighty - one people lost their lives and over 1,$00 families were made homeless and 24 million dollars worth of property damage was done. A future flood could easily do an equal amount of damage. The rampaging power in this great flood was beyond belief. I have estimated that it could have equalled two million horse power on the Humber River at the height of Hazel. Is it any wonder that terrific damage was done? The great Toronto area must be protected from these random blows of nature. Is the furthering of the plan an urgent necessity? I say that it most certainly is. The possibility of future floods is con- stantly with us. We are virtually without protection even today A -12 -4- against such floods. Delay in carrying out the plan will make it more difficult and almost impossible to acquire reservoir sites and other needed lands, action is required now. The cost of the plan is reasonable, Hurricane Hazel itself destroyed two thirds of the planned cost in property value in one night of devastation. The plan is sound, it is an integrated plan of reservoirs, flood plain land acquisition, and channel improvements. All parts of it are necessary, all parts are equally important. It is tailored to the particular features of the area, for instance, the fall in the rivers is great, the Humber falls 1,200 feet in its flow to the lake. This creates terrific velocities leading to great damage. Reservoire serve to tame this flow at a more reasonable cost than channel improve- ments alone. Your Authority is ready to proceed. This vital area of Canada needs the flood control plan. We hope that the Governments will give us the support to complete the job. Acknowledgements Conservation work in Ontario is a partnership,operation be- tween the municipalities in the Authority region and the Government of Ontario. I have said on many occasions that this is a clever arrange- ment for this great conservation work. The Government of Ontario says in effect, 'We are willing to help you, if you first agree to help yourselves'. The Authority (through its municipalities) must raise 50% of the cost and the Province will then supply the other half. We, in the Authority, appreciate the support we have been given by our municipalities and by and large the councils in our region have supported us. We have, I believe, lived up to their trust and spent our funds wisely. The return in lands and facilities, has, I think, been excellent. We are also very much indebted to the Government of Ontario, who through its Dept. of Planning & Development, has supported us with not only half our funds, but also with sympathetic advice and ready technical assistance at all times. The Honourable W. M. Nickle, Q. C. Minister of Planning & Development has displayed a keen and understanding -5- A -13 interest in our work. We have been able to approach him at all times with our problems and he has always given us a sympathetic hearing. We also appreciate the assistance of Mr. Nicklets capable staff headed by Mr. ;L. H. Richardson, Chief Conservation Engineer. G. Ross Lord Chairman. metropo/ttwi 7oronto and Region Conieruation, Juthorit� MINt TES .s -14 General Meeting Feb. 18, 1960 No. 2.
