School camping takes place in school time and is an integral part of the curriculum. A classroom'of students and their teachers go to a camp where they live together for a week, or sometimes longer. The camp school does not carry on classroom studies, but rather does those things which can be done best outside the classroom to integrate and make more real what has been studied from books in school. Some lessons can be learned better outside school than in it. School camping has been proven sound educationally in the U.S.A., and in Europe. School Camping in the Toronto Region. Six years ago York Memorial Collegiate, in York Township undertook a camp school. This has been repeated annually. The camp had been located at Camp Kneale, at Bolton. Conservation Authority staff have given instruction to a Grade Nine class for 3 days. Forest Hill Junior High School has had similar camps in Muskoka but has had to abandon it because of distance. The Agricultural Science Club of Brampton High School has had • week -end camps. There is no record of any other school in Ontario attempting such camps as these in the Toronto Area. The Camp schools held by York Memorial Collegiate have been outstandingly successful. Unfortunately, only one Grade 9 class can be accomodated. Teachers of a number of other Schools have indicated much interest...in this type of outdoor instruction. The demands for conservation education and information for school purposes are rapidly becoming greater than the Authority staff can fulfil without more facilities, What has been done. Four years ago, a group of interested people began a study of the need for, and the possibility of supplying permanent camp school facilities. Several meetings were held over the period 1954 - 1956. A sub - committee of the former Humber Valley Conservation Authority was formed to gather together ideas on camp schools, opinions of local educational people; and to formulate a report on the subject. At a meeting in.May 1956 representatives from Departments of Education of Leaside, Forest dill, Etobicoke Township, Weston, South Peel and York Township, and including a representative of the Ontario Department of Education (Mr. Devenney) received a mimeographed report from the Camp School Sub - committee, Miss Blanche Snell of York Memorial Collegiate staff acted as chairman. 248 -2- The minutes of that committee meeting indicate that (1) The report of the sub - committee on plans for a permanent camp school in the Humber Watershed was adopted. (2) The Authority (then Humber Valley) were asked to provide a site (3) The School of Architecture, University of Toronto, was requested to design the site and buildings for a permanent school. Later Action, During 1956 and 1957, the School of architecture acted on the request and designed permanent buildings for a site in the Albion Hills Conservation Area, Those plans and sketches are on file at the Authority Office, Woodbridge. Several members of that original sub - committee have remained active, and have been quietly working on the project during the past one and one -half years. Particularly as a result of the efforts of Miss Scoles and Miss Snell, and Mr. R. Rutherford, all of York Memorial Collegiate, an outline of a proposed promotional brochure on the camp has been drafted, and Gage and Co., publishers, of Toronto, have offered to publish it free of cost. Tentative Plans. The Sub - committee of the former Humber Valley Conservation Authority studied the matter of a permanent site, and of suitable facilities exhaustively. Included on their committee were members who had seen such schools in operation in the U.S.A and in Europe. Based on their 1956 report, the following plans were recommended:- (a) That the camp ire built in 3 stages, Stage 1. faze preparation of the site and the construction of a central building for year -round use which will house one classroom of students- plus staff. Stage 2. Construction of winterized sleeping cabins separate from the main building. Stage 3. Expansion of facilities as demand warrants, and additional funds are acquired. Stage 1 was to be the immediate objective, Stage 2 and 3 at a later date. 249 -3- (b) That the site be in the Albion Hills Conservation Area. (c) That the primary use be for co- educational school groups, but that it also be made available to other groups with similar interests. (d) That the main building of Stage I be built to accomodate a school class of thirty, plus staff. (e) A sum of 5¢100,000.00 will be necessary for stage 1.. If the project is carried out as a scheme of the Authority, it would be eligible for a grant of 50% from the Province of Ontario, through the Department of Planning and Development. The remainder would be raised by public funds, from such organizations as Service Clubs, Rod and Gun Clubs. Home and School, and perhaps companies and individuals. (f) Approval of design of site and layout of buildings would be the responsibility of the Authority. Supervision of classes using the school would be the responsibility of the school using them. The provision of such camp school facilities would offer a unique opportunity to encourage the interest of school students and other young people in conservation of our natural resources in the area. Such a camp will help develop self - reliance, citizinship skills and the appeal of wholesome living. • W. S. Macdonnell, Chairman Information and Education Advisory Board. 250 SCHEME W.C. 4 HUMBER RIVER FLOOD PLAIN LhNDS. Expropriation of Land Adjacent to the Old Mill. Introduction, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority filed a plan of expropriation on lands adjacent to the Old Mill being part of Blocks A and B Plan 3$S, Part of Blocks X and Y and Part 7 the Kingsway Plan M 4 16, Township of Etobicoke, County of York and consisting of 4.097 acres on nugust 21, 1958. The owners of the land, Toronto Consolidated Lands, who also own Valley Improvement Co Ltd., (operating the Old Mill) raised objections to the expropriation of the above lands and at their request a meeting was called on Friday September 5, 195$ with representatives of the company and the following representatives of the authority, Dr. G. R. Lord, R. G. Henderson, F. L. Lunn, D. R. Walkinshaw, K. G. Higgs; and representing Metropolitan Toronto, T. W. Thompson; Dr. G. R. Lord received the following letter on September 1$, 195$: "Dear Mr. Lord: We very much appreciated the opportunity on Friday, September 5th, of discussing with you and members of your Board some of your problems in connection with the acquisition of lands in the Humber Valley adjacent to The Old Mill,. hs you know, our Company formerly owned considerable acreage in this Valley and while over the years our holdings have gradually decreased we nevertheless continue to be concerned that it be used to the best public advantage. It is our understanding arising out of our discussion that the only reason the Authority expropriated the lands between Old Mill Road and Bloor Street West adjoining The Old Mill was to provide an access road for a Metropolitan Toronto operated park immediately south of the Bloor Street viaduct. Your consulting engineer's drawing 43601 indicates dikes running on both sides of the channel between the Old Mill Bridge and Bloor Street viaduct. You will recall however that it was agreed on September 5th that while the left hand bank (east side) required such a dike to prevent erosion, one on the inside of the bend on the right bank close to The Old Mill was not in fact hydraulically necessary. As we pointed out during the course of our discussion such a dike at the right bank would stop the flow in the west branch of the river at this point. As you know, immed- iately along side the Old Mill ruins, Metropolitan Toronto Works Department operates a sewage lift station which unfortunately from time to time overflows into this channel. In order to prevent unpleasant odours we have over the past years at our own expense kept this channel open and it is our opinion that the flow here should be maintained for this reason, if for no other. Our recollection is that one of your staff commented that the filling of land to the south of The Old Mill Bridge West approach by us for parking purposes was reducing the flow resevoir capacity of the valley: We would suggest that this not only strengthened the road and abutment, all but the filling operation was almost complete at the time of expropriation. 251 -2- As you may or may not be aware this Company has over the past three years been developing plans for a hotel to be built on the bank overlooking the river and the expropriation of this bank will not only force us to move its location, but will also compel us to find alternate car parking space and formal garden areas which we had planned for the lower lands with river frontage. It is therefore our suggestion that the Authority con- sider using as an access road the alternative route shown on our attached drawing. The two Irish (or pipe) bridges indicated on the drawing would be in keeping with the type you have in your park near Woodbridge. This would involve the expropriation of only .4$ acres, on which our claim for compensation would be Four Thousand,-Five Hundres Dollars (04,500.00p) as against Eighty -five Thousand, Five Hundred Dollars (4$5,500.00) for the 4.097 acres. Should the Authority require to carry out alterations in the future within our properties in the flood plain we would be prepared to enter into agreements as per The Conservation Authorities Act, Clause 15 (ee)." Yours very truly, VALLEY IMPROVEMENT COMPANY LIMITED (Operating The Old Mill) "D. B. Mansur." 2. Dr. Lord requested that a report be prepared on this matter and that Mr. T. W.. Thompson nd .the Authority's Engineers be consulted. visit was made to the site on Monday October 6th, with Mr Thompson and Mr. Hinde of R. V. Anderson and Associates. Observations. The Company are of the opinion that the reason the lands are being expropriated is to provide an access to lands south of Bloor. The fact is however that the lands are flood plain lands and conservation lands being either below the High Water Mark of Flood Hazel or consisting of steep valley slopes. The lands also are required to carry out channel improvements which form an integral part of the scheme. The Engineering report recommends the construction of a retaining wall on the east bank of the river from the Old Mill Bridge south for a distance of approximately 1,200 feet. The proposal for the west bank is to construct a low dyke behind which filling could take place. 3. The use of the word dyke is unfortunate and has lead to some :misunderstandings. Actually the proposal is to fill the area to the limits of the dykes as indicated in the drawings. The filling involves the raising of the land one to two feet which is considerably below Flood Hazel. The land therefore would be subject to inundation during periods of high flows. The West channel as indicated on the plan will be filled and the whole flow of the Humber River will be confined to the main channel. The overflow from the pumping station will be piped to the main channel and this will improve the situation 256 -3- so far as the Old Mill is concerned. The proposed Hotel to be built by the Company encroaches on flood plain and conservation lands being expropriated by the Authority. A portion of the Hotel at the south east corner is situated on land on which building is prohibited by Etobicoke By -law 10370, a copy of which is appended to this report. 4. The suggestion of the Company that only an area of 0.4$ be expropriated and that an access road be constructed as indicated on the plan was unsatisfactory to both Mr. Thompson and Mr. Hinde.. It was felt that the Authority might consider an alternative suggestion that the Authority grant Valley Improvement Co., Ltd., a joint use of any access road that might be constructed and the use of an area for parking. The overnight parking of cars on floodplain land is hazardous and this suggestion must be treated with caution. The proposal for the Construction of two fords by the company was considered by Mr. Hinde as dangerous and there maintenance costs would be high. 5. Recommendation 1. That the authority not agree to the alternative proposal submitted by Valley Improvement Co., Ltd. 2. That the outfall from the Etobicoke Pumping Station be piped to the new channel of the Humber River when it is constructed. 3. That the :authority consider granting Valley Improvement Co., Ltd., access on any road constructed south from Old Mill Road. 4. That the .authority consider granting Valley Improvement Co., Ltd., the use of an area for parking if satisfactory to the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Department of Planning and Development. efropoLitan Joronto an,ci Ieegion Coneruation Jugority MIN-J ES 253 Executive Committee Meeting October 22, 195$ No. 17 The Executive Committee met in the Mechanical Engineering Building, University of Toronto, on October 22, 195$ commencing at 10.30 a.m..

S much of this beauty is being destroyed and private and public property is being badly damaged by erosion, THEREFORE this Board requests the Executive Committee to consider a scheme whereby some method of protection can be instituted, and because of the damage to Lake Ontario shore line and Toronto harbour, the Federal Government be requested to share a large portion of the cost. and Res. #2$ - Meeting No. 3 - Feb. 5, 1958. SCARBORO BLUFFS Moved by A. M. Campbell Seconded by W. J. McDonald The Board recommends that resolution #14 passed on September 8th regarding Scarboro Bluffs be given consideration at as early a date as possible. A prelimary study of the problem has been made by the Field staff of the Authority in consultation with Mr. J. W. -Hurray,', head of the Hydraulics Section of the Conservation. Branch of the Dept. of Planning & Development. Mr A. H. Richardson, Chief Conservation Engineer for the Dept. has also been consulted. Lake Levels Report 1953 The Legislature Assembly of the Province of Ontario on • March 28, 1952 appointed a Select Committee to study lake level, and lakeshore erosion problems in the Province of Ontario. The report of the Committee was completed on March 1, 1953 and was subsequently submitted to the Legislature. The following recommendations included in the report will be of some assistance in considering the lakeshore erosion problem in the Township of Scarborough. 334 2 Zoning Recommendation #6 THAT wherever on the shoreline of the Great Lakes in Ontario land is subject to such erosion or inundation as in the judgment of the Minister of Planning and Development makes it unsuitable for private development the Minister be empowered to restrict or prohibit the use of such land until suitable pro- tective works have been installed. Recommendation #7 THAT wherever on the shoreline of the Great Lakes in Ontario the use of land is restricted or prohibited because of the threat of erosion or inundation, the Municipality or the Valley Conservation Authority, if such has been established in the area in which such land is situate, be empowered to acquire these lands for park, recreation or protective purposes, and that power be given the Municipalities and Authority to expropriate such lands and that suitable legislation be provided. Provincial Participation Recommendation #$ THAT for the purpose of obtaining information regarding the effectiveness of shore protective structures it is recommended that all persons who are desirous of constructing protective works along the shores of the Great Lakes file written plans with the Minister of Planning and Development of such works and that no protective works be undertaken until such plans have been so filed. Recommendation #10 THAT where a municipality or group of municipalities own lands on the shores of the Great Lakes and connecting waterways which are used by the public and are prepared to undertake part of the cost of protecting these lands from erosion and inundation, the Provincial Government give consideration to granting financial assistance for the construction of approved protective measures. Recommendation #12 THAT where on the shores of the Great Lakes a group of contiguous, privately owned properties are considered to be an operating unit by the Minister of Planning and Development, and where the majority of such landowners petition the municipality for assistance in planning remedial measures, the Minister of Planning and Development consider making a survey and preparing a plan and report indicating the type of protection required and the approximate cost involved. The Problem The Scarborough Bluffs were once relatively stable and the erosion of the bluffs was minimized as a result of the following: - much of the bluffs were wooded. - the shore at the foot of the bluffs was littered with glacial boulders weathered out of the banks, which provided some protection from wave action. - two sand bars were located about 200 yards offshore and waves broke and spent there force on the bars. - 3 - The steps that have taken place to upset the state of equilibrium are as follows: - great quantities of sand were removed from eastern beaches starting 100 years ago for construction in Toronto. - "stone hookers" gathered up the boulders at the foot of the bluffs, for construction of buildings and roads in Toronto. - the most important factor effecting the erosion of the Scarborough Bluffs was the action of the giant sand suckers " The Cyclone and the Tornado from 1910 to 1914". The sand suckers removed immense quantities of sand and clay east of the Eastern gap to enlarge Toronto Island, improve the Toronto Waterfront and to fill Ashbridge Bay. The resulting holes were quickly filled with sand and other materials from the bars offshore from the Bluffs. The lake currents moved the material from the bars to the east end of Toronto. The waves now break at the unprotected foot of the bluffs and the resulting erosion has removed vegetation increasing the problem. The encroachment of subdivisions on the Scarborough Bluffs has also contributed to the erosion process and has made effective control measures difficult for these areas. Factors Affecting Shore Erosion The following are factors that influence the erosion of shorelines: (a) Waves Wave action is the principal agency in shoreline changes. Lake levels influence considerably the affect of wave action on erosion. (b) Currents Littoral or shore currents have influencdd the erosion of the Scarborough Bluffs. (c) Ice Action Ice formations have a damaging effect on shore protective measures. (d) Removal of Sand and Gravel from Beaches and Lake Bottoms The damaging effects of removal of sand off the Scarborough shoreline has been noted previously. The following additional factors contribute to lakeshore erosion: (a) Surface drainage above shore cliffs. (b) Seepage (c) Wind erosion on unprotected banks. (d) Frost action. (e) Animals - incljding humans. (f) Subdivision encroachment on eroding shorelines. 336 4 Lakeshore Protective Measures Many types of structures have been used to protect lakeshore and to prevent erosion. It is not the purpose of this report to discuss in detail these measures. The protective measures vary considerably both in their effectiveness and in their cost. The following are some protective measures: (1) Beaches and Beach fills. (2) Groynes. (3) Seawalls and Bulkheads. (4) Revetments. (5) Breakwaters (6) Jetties. There are a number of other measures such as oak pilings, concrete rings, concrete crosses, and willow mats that have proved of assistance in reducing lakeshore erosion. The prevention of encroachments on an eroding shoreline should be an important component of any any control program. Recommendations to this effect were included in the Select Committee Report on Lakes Levels. The prevention of encroachments on shorelines can be accomplished by the passing of by -laws by the municipality w`:cre the problem exists and by the acquisition of a strip of land adjacent to the eroding shoreline. Protective Measures - Scarborough Bluffs The protective measures that have been undertaken by the Toronto Hunt Club have demonstrated possible control measures for the Scarborough Bluffs. The control program consisted of the following: (1) Construction of concrete or timber groynes. (2) Grading of bluffs - the bluffs were graded to a more natural angle of repose which made it possible to establish vegetation on the open faces of erosion. Grading of the bluffs will be difficult where encroachments have been permitted within 400 feet of the bluffs. (3) Control of Surface drainage - surface drainage has been inter - upted by means of terraces at the top of the bluffs and has been carried safely to the lake by means of storm drains. (4) Subsurface drainage has been collected in tiles and carried safely to the lake in culverts. (5) The graded slopes have been planted with Carolina Poplars and Sweet Clover. .The cost of the control program that was made available was $$$,000.00. The distance protected is approximately 2,000 feet. The cost per lineal foot is therefore approximately $44. There are annual maintenance charges in addition to the initial capital investiment. Other control programs were examined but none appeared to be as complete or effective as the program at the Hunt Club. Ia 1951 Jas. MacLaren and Associates prepared a Prelimary Report on Protective Measures for Scarborough Bluffs. The following are prelimary cost Pctimat.os of varioxic protective measures and recommendations for action: - 5 - "We estimate that for the construction of sea walls or groynes for shore protection alone, the cost will run to not less than $1,750,000 per mile44. - A complete, control program was estimated to cost not less than $2,000,000 per mile and possibly might cost $2,250,000 per mile. Recommendation contained in report. (1) Prevent any further bu: lding within say 600 feet of the cliffs and institute measures to have all buildings vacated that are now considered to be in immediate danger. Also take steps to have other buildings within the 600 foot strip vacated eventually. (2) Construct shore protection measures in accordance with designs decided upon after surveys along the shore and soundings in the lake have been completed and studies of currents, soil and beach - forming materials have been made. The face of the cliffs to be graded to form slopes not steeper than 1 to 1 or more where required by the angle of repose; the slopes so graded to be planted with grass and such shrubs as an r%nducive to stabilizing Laid knitting the surface. Berms should be formed to arrest run -off of surface water. (4) Construct drainage channels and storm sewers to prevent surface water from reaching and running over new slopes. Recommendations (1) That a survey be undertaken by the Authority to determine the area adjacent to the Scarborough Bluffs in the undeveloped section of the Township where the erection of buildings should be prohibited. (2) That the Township of Scarborough pass a by -law under section 390 of the Municipal Act prohibiting the erection of buildings in the area as determined in recommendation number 1. (3) That upon completion of recommendations number 1 and number 2 that the Authority consider a scheme for the acquisition of a strip of land adjacent to the Scarborough Bluffs and for the complete control of the erosion of the Bluffs. (4) That for the purpose of the scheme: (a) A Geological and Engineering Report be obtained for the Scarborough Bluffs to determine the extent, the types and the costs of measures required to control the erosion of the Scarborough Bluffs. (b) The Minister of Planning and Development be requested to make a grant of 75% of the cost of the survey and the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto be levied the remaining 25% of the cost of the survey. (c) The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto be designated as the benefitting municipality and a copy of this report be forwarded to the Metropolitan Works Committee and the Authority proceed on the basis outlined in this report if directed to by the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto.

A report on the Proposed Duffin Creek Conservation Area was submitted and adopted by the Conservation Areas Advisory Board at Meeting No 3. held on July $, 1957. The report included the Valley of the Duffin Creek from Highway 4.01 to the mouth. Negotiations for properties have been held up due to the sale of the adjacent holdings of the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation. A further study of the valley of the Duffin Creek covering the area between Highway 401 and the third line was made by Wm. McLean in the summer of 1957 and a report was submitted to the Conservation Areas Ldvisory Board, meeting No 4. August 20, 1957. No action was taken. The following resolution, adopted by the R.D.H.P Watershed :advisory Board has been referred to the Flood and Pollution Control :advisory Board. Meeting No 2 - September 1$, 1957 - Resolution # Moved by C. W. Laycock. Seconded by J, H. Purvis. WHEREAS Resolution #1 of this Advisory Board duly carried on the 8th day of ]ay, 1957 requested consideration of flooding conditions on Duffins Creek below Concession 3, and WHEREAS by Resolution #6 the Flood and Pollution Control :_dvisory Board requested a report, which report is on hand, and WHEREAS further information has since been prepared in a study by the Department of Planning and Development; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Executive be requested to take necessary action to prepare a scheme which will include the acquisition of flood lands and alleviate the conditions of flooding and damage to highways, other public and private property in the Duffins Creek water- shed below the third concession, Pickering Twp. 2 Location and Description of the Area. The area under study is located in the Township of Pickering between_ Highway 401 and the third concession, west of the town of Pickering. Two branches of the Duffin Creek traverse the area. The West Branch. The west branch of Ruffin Creek cuts diagonally across the _ :.rea in a deep,steep -sided valley, which broadens and becomes shallower as the confluence with the east branch is reached. The flood plain becomes correspcndingly broader in the southern section of the area. Approximately 60% of the valley slopes are wooded; a considerable variety of trees being found9 Most of the table land.has been cleared, except in the northern halves of township lots 23, 24, 25 (see map) where much of the forest cover still remains. Two parks are located on the west branch, one in the southern half of lot 22, which is called Sun Valley Park, and the Grand Valley Park in the northern half of lot 23. Much of the flood plain in the south is presently being used for farm pastures, while the flood plain in the north is undeveloped. The land ownership on the west branch is shown on the accompanying map. 339 Page -2- "_ ne East Branch The east branch of Duffin Creek has cut a considerably shallower valley than the west branch, and the flood plain in many places is broader. Only small strips of wooded areas remain along the valley slopes which are lower and more gradual. The Riverside Community which experiences flooding in the spring is located just west of Elizabeth Street on the flood plain of the east branch. The flood plain at this point can be seers outlined on the accompanying map. Duffin Creek below the Confluence Between the confluence of the two branches and Hwy.401, the Creek twists in shap S curves through a broad valley whose easterly slope is quite steep, i, combination of silting at the bridge over Hwy.2 and the sharp bends in the river causes ice jams during tIE pring breakup, which results in flooding upstream. Often the water floods over Hwy. 2 just web t of the bridge. There is very little Forest cover on the valley slopes, except on the east side of the river south of Hwy.2. There has been considerable dumping in this area, although no commercial dump exists; the combination of this dumping and stagnant back waters makes parts of this area very unhealthy in the summer . i „TjIT LBII IT C;" T: ,IRK, FOR CONSERV .TION PURPOSES. Conservation In this area can be accomplished in three ways (a) Flood Control (1) Riverside Community Tho Riverside community is subject to periodic spring floods which are usually caused by ice joins in the lower part of the creek. The flood stage for Hazel was about the same as for spring floods but the absence of ice resulted in less damage There are 33 dwellings in the community and half were flooded by Hazel. Sharp bends in the river and the accumulation of silt under the bridge at Hwy No 2 cause ice jams and obstruct the 11.c.;:s. R.Y. iCilborn and :_ssociates, Consulting Engineers were engaged by the R.D.H.P Conservation :►uthority in 1955 to prepare a report on the flood problem in the Lower Duffin Creek Two Channel improvement schemes were submitted. Scheme k,included channel improvements from the upstream limit of Riverside Drive to a point about 2,500 feet beyond No 2 Highway, a total length of 1.67 miles, The scheme is designed to relieve flooding due•to ice join. The estimated cost of the work was ,x$8,750 exclusive of land costs. Scheme 6, was an extension of Scheme k and included a Dike System in addition to the channel•improvements. . The estimated cost of Scheme B was $127,250 exclusive of lan land costs. The assessed value of the land and buildings periodically flooded is $14,640. On the basis of the present real estate values such expenditures as outlined above are not warranted particularly in view of the hazardous position of the settlement in the event of a major flood. (2) Village of Pickering and Vicinity. On Duffin Creek, between No 2 Hwy•and the westerly lirni:, of the village of Pickering, there are 20 properties 34 Page -3- 14 with dwellings on them -which are subject to floods. There are also 5 properties, 3 with buildings on them just downstream from the village limits, which are similarly flooded. The Area flooded consists of 10$.36 acres with a total assessed valuation including land and dwellings of 852,030. Extensive channel improvements would be required to provide complete protection and cannot be justified in view of the small amount of flood damage experienced in this area. Further partial protection might induce further development of the area which would greatly increase the amount of damage with the possible loss of lives in the event of a major flood. (b) Zoning It is desirable that the flood plains and valley slopes of both branches of the Creek be protected from any further industrial, commercial or residential development by zoning regulations. The growth which the townships closer to the city of Toronto experienced shortly after 1945 is just now reaching the Pickering Village and Ajax vicinities; their greatest period of development is yet to come. Conservation and flood control in the valleys of the Duffin Creek should be incorporated in the overall planning. (c) Conservation Areas The open nature of most of the valleys of the Duffin Creek and the lack of forest cover makes most of the region under study unsuitable for consideration as a conservation area. Outlined on the map, however, can be seen an area which lends itself to this type of development. Located in the northern half of lots 22, 23, 24, portions of the Newkirk and Roberts properties, are trave traversed by the Duffin Creek which has cut a deep valley, the-slopes of which are well wooded. The table land, too, is well wooded, and the area as a whole would lend itself to the development of nature trails, demonstrations of woodlot management on steep slopes and stream bank erosion control. Consideration of this property for a conservation area, however, should be deferred until other more suitable areas outside the bounds of this present study have been explored. The Conservation Area proposed in Duffin Creek Study #1 (south of 401) and the proposed Greenwood Conservation Area are more suitable. 4. SUITABILITY OF THE :.RE:. FOR RECREATION PURPOSES. In the description of the area being studied, it was noted that two privately owned parks are presently being operated. The Grand Valley Park is in the area discussed under I c. Here there are facilities for swimming, picnicking and children's playgrounds. To the south of the Grand Valley Park and also on the west branch of the Creek is the Sun Valley Park which has similar facilities. .Almost any part of the flood plain could be developed in a manner like these two parks. In particular,, the Riverside Community and the Elizabeth Street and Number 2 Hwy, community could be developed for recreational purposes. As they are`flood plain lands, no intensive recreational facilities could be installed. However, these lands would make excellent picnic grounds and swimming facilities could be developed. 3 i Page 4. 5. Recommendations. 1. That the althority consider a scheme for the acquisition of flood plain lands in the Township of Pickering and the Village of Pickering. 2. That for the purpose of the scheme - a) the aithority Staff prepare a report and a map indicating properties subject to flooding that should be acquired. b) The Township of Pickering and the Village of Pickering be designated as the benefitting municipalities and the apportionment of benefit between the two municipalities be worked out upon completion of the report of the Authority staff. c) A Topographic map of the lower Duffin Creek from the mouth to the 3rd line at a scale of 200' to the inch with a five foot contour interval 2i interpolation be prepared. 3. That upon completion of a detached report on flood plain lands that the Township of Pickering and the Village of Pickering be requested to pass by -laws under section 390 of the municipal act prohibiting the erection of buildings on flood plain lands. 4. That the Township of Pickering and the Village of Pickering be forwarded copies of this report. Respectfully submitted. K. G. Higgs. Senior Field Officer.

Background In June, 1957, the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conser- vation Authority presented to the Town of Brampton a scheme for the acquisition and development of flood plain lands along the Etobicoke Creek within the limits of the town. This scheme recommended two methods of controlling the use of flood plain lands as follows: (a) Passing a restrictive by -law ( under section 390 of the Municipal Act) (b) Acquisition of flood plain lands by a public body. The former method has been adopted by the town at the present time. This by -law which has had two readings to date, is based generally upon the high water mark of Storm Hazel as plotted at the time of the flood in October, 1954. by the Etobicoke - Mimico Conser- vation Authority and the Ontario Department of Planning and Development. The Town requested the assistance of this Authority in visit- ing the various property owners involved and to discuss with them the purposes of the by -law and the influence of it on the properties involved. The following is a copy of the letter received from the Town of Brampton requesting this assistance. TOWN OF BRAMPTON Office of the Clerk- Treasurer Brampton, Ontario December 23, 1957 The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, Woodbridge, Ontario. Dear Sir: Attn: Mr. F. L. Lunn, Secretary- Treasurer Further to your letter of December 13th, 1957, may I confirm with you the following resolution passed by the Municipal Council at its meeting held Monday, December 16th, 1957. "That the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority be requested to assist in the approach to property owners relative to flood plain lands and that the Authority be informed that it is not the intention to proceed with the acquisition of these lands at the present time. Yours very truly, J. Galway Clerk- Treasurer 34 -2- II. The Purpose of Report The report is a summary account of the results of the inter- views held with five affected property owners by a member of the Auth- ority staff accompanied by Mr. B: Harper Bull, Vice - Chairman of the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. Included also are the recommendations of this Authority arising from the interviews: III. Results and Recommendations The results and recommendations will be given in a systematic manner dealing with each owner individually. A. Walter Calvert Ltd: represented by Walter E. Calvert Jack Calvert Homer Thompson i. Location: The property extends from the northern limit of the Town of Brampton to Vodden Street: ii. Acreage: Approx 22.$ acres. iii. Interview: Mr. W. E. Calvert indicated no objection to the by- law with the exception of two points. Firstly, Calverts have plans to build six additional green houses adjacent to the present houses: This construction would encroach on the flood plain in the form of a triangle of 200 feet on the east, 150 feet on the north and 250 feet along the present flood line. Secondly, they have begun to fill the bulge at the south -east limit of the flood plain adjacent to Vodden Street. Calverts wish this section to be excluded from the scope of the by -law. It should be noted here that Calverts, in the past, have carried on their own channel improvements by straightening the river and filling the old channel: This work has been well cone. Mr. Walter Calvert wished several points to be emphasized in this report. They claim that Dales Dam causes a blockage of ice for 1000 feet back from said dam which creates flood conditions on Calverts "flats ". He also emphasized the drop in land elevation of 9 feet from his "flats" to the Church Street bridge and the Diversion: Mr: Calvert was trying to point out that his "flats ", being of a higher elevation, are less susceptible to flooding than Dales. -3- (Technically, however, this would not be the case since it is the gradient, condition of the river bed, rainfall and runoff as well as the land elevation which chiefly creates flood conditions). iv. Recommendations: It is recommended that - (a) the flood plain be straightened on the eastern limit as indicated on the accompanying map beginning at a point approximately 260 feet east from the present centre line of the Etobicoke Creek along Vodden Street azd thence extended northward to cut through part of the high bank lying below the 713 foot contour. (b) the flood plain be extended on the west side of Etobicoke Creek to follow the fence line behind the present green houses (as indicated on the map). (c) the triangular shaped piece to the north be excluded from the flood plain. These recommendations meet with the approval of Calverts. B. The Dale Estate: represented by - John Beatty Douglas Dickson i. Location: located south of Vodden Street. ii. Acreage: approx. 15.13 acres. iii. Interview: The Dale Estate is not in favour of a restrictive by -law covering the area. This stems from their point of view that the land should not be tied up as conditions possibly would change within 5 to 10 years. They feel quite strongly that time would see all the problems solved including that of the Dam, also suggesting that the Diversion be extended. Mr. Beatty stated that the Estate had no intention of subdividing the land in the flood plain under the present conditions. Dales feel that most of the trouble is caused by the bridge on Highway No. 10 at the south end of the town with the ice backing up to the Dale property in the spring break -up. (There is, however, a drop of approximately 25 feet from this property to the bridge which rather denies this view). The Dale Estate has proposed a flood plain limit of 100 feet on the east side of the Etobicoke Creek for the purpose of this by- law. A plan of subdivision has been proposed by Dales for the area to the east of the Creek, the boundary of which has been plotted e � 4 - on the accompanying map. It is noted that this boundary lies beyond the high water mark of Storm Hazel along most of its length. iv. Recommendations: It is recommended that - (a) the restrictive by -law include all the flood plain designated up to the boundary of said proposed subdivision; (b) that the lands excluded be suitably filled to provide stable subdivision land. The Authority feels that the by -law definitely should include more than 100 feet for flood plain and therefore makes the aforementioned recommendation. C. Mrs. Stern: represented by - Mrs. Sterne Mr. H. R. Lawrence i. Location: between Guest Street and Clarence Street. ii. Acreage: 4.73 acres. iii. Interview: Most of Mrs. Sterne's property lies within the flood plain of Hurricane Hazel, and almost all of it actually lies within the flood plain of the Etobicoke Creek, although a part was not flooded during Storm Hazel. Mrs. Sterne has a sketch plan of subdivision for a strip along Guest Street, if extended the back line of which is marked on the plan. This section would be filled if the plan was approved, but such approval possibly would be difficult to obtain from the necessary authorities. The lots stretch east -west to the river across the flood plain. Mrs. Sterne is willing to sell the remaining piece of her land to the Town of Brampton. No price was indicated, but she did state that she could not afford to give up all the land as flood land. iv. Recommendations: It is recommended that - (a) the by -law include all the land bounded by Storm Hazel within the Sterne property. (b) that when the flood plain land is purchased, the flood line be extended to include approximately 1.6 acres of the Sterne property below the 685 foot contour line. 352 -5- D. Rice Construction Company Limited: represented by - Tom Rice Lew Rice i. Location: A. Property is adjacent to the east side of Highway No. 10 at the south end of the Town. ii. Acreage: approx 1.6 acres iii. Interview: The construction company has a registered plan of subdivision for this section chiefly designated as commercial. Much of the original land within the flood plain has been filled and con- struction planned. It is understood that the Town of Brampton has an agreement with Rice Construction as to the use and designation of these lands. Block N of Registered Plan 5$1 is set aside for the construction of the bridge over the Etobicoke Creek where it crosses Highway No.. 10. Rice indicated where they would prefer the line on which the by -law is to be based. (This line has been indicated on the accompanying map). The line is seen to follow the southern boundary of Block N and then to the southern limit of Block A now owned by the Town of Brampton. It was also stated that the Company have hopes for future construction of some type of commercial establishment built on stilts on the remaining section of Block N once the bridge has been constructed. This has been officially stated to the town in the form of a letter from Rice Construction Company. iv. Recommendations: It is recommended that - (a) the By -law follow the southern limit of Block N (Rice Construction Co. Ltd.) and Block A (Town of Brampton). i. Location: B. Triangular property adjacent to the north side of Clarence Street. ii. Acreage: iii. Interview: The Rice Construction Company at present are dumping fill on this section of property. They have future plans to construct a gasoline station here. Little emphasis was placed on this property as the greatest interest lay with the protection of their investment along Number 10 Highway. iv. Recommendations: Since the filling of this section of the flood plain would probably be unstable and since such filling would limit 353 -6- the natural flood plain and create possible flood conditions by blockage at this point and elsewhere and since Storm Hazel encroached on this land, it is recommended that - (a) this property be included in the scope of the by -law. E. Relaw Construction Company Limited: represented by - Leslie Pallett Solicitor Port Credit i. Location: east side of Highway No. 10 adjacent to the town limits. ii. Acreage: approx 27.92 acres. iii. Interview: A preliminary draft plan of subdivision was presented by Mr. Pallett for the area chiefly above the slope. Many of the lots on the western limit, however, extend to the banks of the river except in the northern portion adjacent to the Disposal plant. The plan does not provide any lots in the flood plain west of the Etobicoke Creek. Therefore, this section does not interfere with the boundary of the by -law. The lots adjacent to the river on the east bank of the river, however, may interfere to a limited extent with the flood plain, but minor adjustments could 'be made on the final draft of subdivision. It is understood that the subdivider has presented another plan to the Brampton Planning Board: iv. Recommendations: It is recommended that: (a) the by -law follow the flood line of Storm Hazel as indicated on plan. (b) the large knoll in the flood plain adjacent to Highway No. 10 also be included in the by -law to create a compact unit. (c) that care be taken in issuing building permits to any future builders on lots adjacent to the crest of the slope, particularly where the stream flows parallel to the base of the slope. IV. Concluding Recommendations: It is recommended that - (a) the twelve aforementioned recommendations be adopted by the Council of the Town of Brampton. (b) The Town of Brampton proceed with the acquisition of land as soon as possible. (c) The Sterne property hold precedence in purchase above the other properties.

The survey was made from the standpoint of future flooding possibil- ities and of the utility of the land for conservation purposes. The following is a copy of the letter received from the Town of Brampton requesting the Authority to complete this survey. TOWN OF BRAMPTON Office of the Clerk- Treasurer Brampton, Ontario November 14, 1957 Mr. F. L. Lunn, Secretary- Treasurer, Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, Woodbridge, Ontario. Dear Mr. Lunn: I am directed by the Municipal Council of the Town of Brampton to forward to you the following resolution-passed by the Council at its meeting held Tuesday, November 12th, 1957. "That the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority be requested to undertake the preparation of a survey and report for the Main's Creek watershed similar to that already submitted to the Municipal Council regarding the Etobicoke watershed." Yours very truly, J. Galway Clerk- Treasurer 2. Description of Watercourse The watercourse known as Main's Creek originates west of the Canadian Pacific Railway lines just north of the town limits. After crossing the railway and spur line to Dales, the Creek flows through the built -up area west of Isabella Street and Thomas Street as all open ditch, with the exception of concrete culverts under the street crossings. From Market Street to Church Street, the drain- age course also is confined in a concrete conduit approximately 7 feet wide by 4 feet in depth, which was constructed some 30 years South of Church Street, after passing through the Peel Seed Company property, the creek enters a conduit 6'6" wide by 4'6" in depth, passing under the Round Chain Company factory. Constructed about 25 years ago: this section of Main's Creek storm sewer consists of concrete walls and roof with a dirt floor which has been scoured out to some extent, From its point of entry onto Main Street to the connection with the newer portion at California Street, the sewer is of rectangular cross - section approximately 5'5" wide by 6'6" deep. It is in this section that the conduit parallels closely the west abutment of the Canadian National Railway bridge over Main Street. The storm sewer then follows Main Street to Wellington Street where it crossec to the east side of Main Street to a point from which it continues south to a point just south of Glen Eagle Crescent. Here the sewer system ends with the water then flowing in the old channel of the Etobicoke Creek until it enters the Etobicoke Creek Diversion Channel, For the purpose of this report,, the Main's Creek Water- course will be. divided into three sections as follows and as shown on Figure I: (a; Opert Ditch; from the source to Market Street. (b) Sewer System_: from Market Street to a point south of Glen Eagle Crescent at Main Street. (n1 Gper (reek; from Main Street to the Etobicoke River Diversion Channel. 3 5 b (a) Open Ditch•: The drainage course in the upper reaches of Main's Creek is a narrow ditch approximately 5' deep through which very little water flows for most of the year. At present, the surrounding area is of a ldw density urban development. As a result, this section does not present flood control problems for the town, but should be dealt with as a storm drainage ditch. Therefore, there is little need for a restrictive By -Law in this section from the conservation-flood control standpoint. (b) Sewer System: A concrete conduit sewer system carries the storm drainage under the business section of the Town of Brampton This system: therefore, is an engineering problem at present and in the future, which has been dealt with adequately in two reports to •L•Q' n .,f Rrctmpton by James F. MacLaren Associates of Toronto. (c) Open Creek: The former channel of the Etobicoke Creek n�sw takes the lower drainage of Main's Creek after it re- appears from the storm sewer system on the Cooper property. (i) Flood Plain - On the south side of the channel, the flood plain is distinctly delineated by a 10' slope approximately 120 feet from the stream bank. The elevation varies from 685' to 700'. The contour lines have been indicated on Figure 3. The flood pain to the north is significantly wider, rising to 700' in elevat- ion over an approximate width of 600'. This contour runs adjacent to the south side of Peel Street, dipping south at Chapel Street and north towards Wellington Street and James Street. Since the Diversion Channel was constructed, very little water flows through this section of Main's Creek. During Hurricane Hazel, some bank overflow occurred in the vicinity of Armstrong Street, flooding some basements. The probability of part of this area flooding in the future cannot be overlooked. There is a pcssibility of water backing up into this channel from the Diversion due to some sort of obstruction, such as ice blockage in the Divers- ion itself. This, therefore, could create a hazardous condition in the flood plain land. (ii) Woodland - The area between Main Street and the Divers - Ion is substantially covered with trees. These trees aid in prevent- V v ^_g soil loss by erosion and water loss to the soil by direct run - ufs'. The protection of these trees, therefore, from the conservat- Ion point of view, is extremely important. F.rther; these trees add to the natural beauty of this 3ection of Main's Creek. It is ideally situated to provide a conservation belt in a town which appreciatively lacks park lands of any kind, The open space or greenbelt aspect is of importance from a planning Standpoint. (iii) Property Ownerships and Approximate Areas - The y:roperties included are those which at present have no buildings and which are ideally suited to conservation purposes. (See Figure 2) 1. B.

Total 23.32 acres 3. Recommendations Since the survey has indicated that the land adjacent to Main's Creek between Main Street and the Diversion (indicated on Figure 3) as it exists at present should not be built upon, the following recommendations are mode.: 1. That the Town of Brampton pass a by -law prohibiting the erection of buildings on these lands by the Municipal Act, R.S.O. 1950, C. 243, S. 390 (1) par.. 3; 1951, 53, S. 17 (1); 1955, C. 48, S. 40 (3) quote: "For prohibiting the erection of a building or structt.re for residential or commercial purposes on land which is subject to flooding or on land where by reason.of its rocky, low- lying, marshy or unstable character, the cost of construction of unsatisfactory waterworks, sewerage or drainage facilities is prohibitive." 2. That the Town of Brampton designate this belt as Con- servation Land, to be used by the citizens as recreational open space. 3. That this report be appended to Scheme WC 3 for the acquisition and development of flood plain lands in the Town of Brampton, and that the Main's Creek lands be included in the pur- chase of the land as described in the aforementioned scheme. �* G i DRIFT PROPOSa FOR DEVELOPMENT OF METROPOLITLN TORONTO :.ND REGION FLOOD W :.RNING SYSTEM DRAFT PROPOSAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION FLOOD WARNING SYSTEM Submitted to the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Contents I Introduction Page 1 II Staff and Facilities Required tt 2 III Proposed Plan of Operations IV Present Status of Warning System A. Staff and Facilities B. Present Plan of Operation V Summary of Proposed Operational Responsibilities of Partici- pating Agencies VI Recommendations to Develop Warning System as Proposed Prepared by J.P. Bruce Conservation Branch Dept.. Planning & Development March 17, 1958 It tt t► ►t tt 2 3 4 5 7 362 :)'Oz PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OF IETROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION FLOOD WARNING SYSTEM I Introduction The objective of any flood control programme is to minimize economic and other losses due to floods. Thus the operation of a flood warning service to prevent loss of lives and damage to moveable property can be a valuable part of a co- ordinated flood control scheme. Methods of flood fore- casting developed for preparation of warnings would also be invaluable in efficiently operating flood control dams and reservoirs should they be built. The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is responsible for flood control in the region of its jurisdiction and thus has operated a flood warning system for some time. The present proposal for modifying the system to permit more efficient operation, arises from the experience gained in this work by the Authority and the Conservation Branch, over the past few years, and from a study of flood warning services in the United States, particularly in New England. II Staff and Facilities Required (1) A network of rainfall and snow observers to report at frequent intervals during potential flood periods and to initiate calls when unexpected heavy rainfalls occur. (2) A network of stream gauge observers to report on river levels. (3) . : forecast unit to develop river forecasting methods, to prepare flood forecasts when needed, and to main- tain close liaison with the Public Weather Office. (4-) Conservation Patrol Officers equipped with mobile communication facilities to maintain the network of observation gauges, and to provide situation reports in the event of a serios flood. 364 - (5) A report and warning centre to receive observations from the Conservation Patrol Officers and precipitation network, and to summarize observations for forwarding to the forecast unit. This centre would also aid in dissemination of warnings. III Proposed Plan of Operations 1. The forecast unit will maintain a constant watch on weather conditions and the hydrologic state of river basins in the area. It will issue advisories at least once per week giving average basin rainfall amounts which would produce flood flows on the various rivers. 2. A flood alert may be issued by the forecast unit (a) following receipt of a heavy rainfall forecast from the Malton Public Heather Office, (b) upon receiving advice from rainfall observer(s) that heavy falls have occurred and (c) when snow -melt floods are possible. 3. On the declaration of a flood alert by the fore- cast unit, the report and warning centre will contact observers and Conservation Patrol Officers, and summarize data to be 'phoned to the forecast unit. No public warnings will be issued at this stage except under extraordinary circumstances, at the discretion of the forecast unit. However, Metro Civil Defence and Works Department will be advised of the state of alert. 4. On receipt of data from the report centre the forecast unit will prepare forecasts of peak flood stages and times, which can be interpreted in terms of potential flood damage. The forecast unit will issue forecasts and warnings to the Authority Report Centre, to the Metro Toronto Works Department and Civil Defence Organization. 5. The report centre will issue warnings to municipal officials outside Metropolitan Toronto, based on advice from the forecast unit. '6. The Conservation Branch in collaboration with the Works Department will collect stream gauge observation data to check on the forecasts. The forecasts of peak stage and time will be modified from time to time as stream gauge 365 - -3- observations and additional meteorological data are received at the forecast unit. 7. The forecast unit will keep in close touch with the Malton Public Weather Office throughout the alert in order that probable future weather developments will be considered in the issuance of forecasts and warnings.. E. After it is clear that flood danger is past, such advice will be issued to Petro Civil Defence, Works Department, and area municipal officials by the report centre and /or the forecast unit. 9. Simplified forecasting methods will be developed by the forecast unit for use by the report centre and Metro Works Department in the event of communication failure. IV Present Status of Warning System A. Staff and Facilities: 1. A rainfall observer network has been organized. The rain gauge locations have been put on working maps of the region for use of the report centre and the forecast unit. 2. A stream flow observation network has also been established by the Water Resources Branch, Departrent of Northern Affairs and National Resources in collaboration with the Metro Works Department and the Conservation Branch. These are also marked on the working map. (See, however, recommendation No.5) 3. The forecast unit has been established by the Conservation Branch under the direction of a hydrometeorologist and the head of the Hydraulics Section. Operational fore- casting methods are completed for the Humber at Weston and are being developed for other rivers and locations. 4. The Conservation Patrol Officer Programme has been organized by the Authority.. 5. The Metro Works Commissioner, Mr. R. L. Clark, has made available to the Luthority, report centre facilities and some of the necessary operating staff. The Authority provides one staff member in flood alert periods. (See recommendation No.3) 6. Maps and lists of areas subject to flooding have been -4- prepared. B Present Plan of Operation. The present plan of operation, as developed by the former Flood Precautions Officer of the Authority, differs from that proposed in section III in the following particulars. (1) Warnings to all agencies are transmitted through the F.P.P and /or the report centre. The proposed plan permits advice to go directly from the forecast unit to Metro Works Department and Metro Civil Defence, and allows for consultation between the forecast unit and these groups. (2) Public warnings are issued by the F.P.O. or his representative. It is proposed that these be issued by Metro Civil Defence in Toronto and by the municipal official warned by the report centre at locations outside Toronto. (3) Warnings to specific individuals on property subject to flooding are issued directly by the Authority F.P.O. or his alternate. These people, it is proposed, would be warned and evacuated if necessary, by Metro Civil Defence in Toronto and by police and fire officials outside the city. (4.) The F.P.O or his alternate has the authority to "prepare and transmit flood warnings ". The proposed plan makes the forecast unit solely responsible for the prepara- tion of flood forecasts and warnings, except in the case of communications failures. In this event, the report centre and Works Department engineers would prepare river forecasts and warnings based upon methods developed for this purpose by the forecast unit. It is proposed that all operational flood warning work be done by full -time staff of the agencies con- cerned rather than by Authority members. (5) The Metropolitan Toronto Works Department now operates the report and warning centre rather than the Conservation Authority, as suggested. The Works Department jurisdiction extends only to the borders of Metropolitan Toronto, but flood warnings must be issued to surrounding municipalities as well. The Works Department report centre could still be used to help in the collection of stream flow -5- data, particularly from their own observers, to help verify and modify the flood fore - casts. Vi Summary of Proposed Operational Responsibilities of Participating Agencies 14. Meteorological Branch, Depnrtment of Transport (a) To provide weather forecasts and observations on a routine basis to the forecast unit. (b) To prepare and issue to the forecast unit, heavy rainfall forecasts and warnings. .( "Heavy rainfall" has been defined by mutual agreement between the forecast unit and the Malton Weather Office.) t 3611 (c) To provide space and facilities for the hydrorneteorologist of the forecast unit to work in the Malton office during flood alerts, if required. 2. Conservation Authority (Senior Field Officer and Report Centre) (a) To direct the Conservation Prtrol Officers in their proposed flood warning system duties. (b) To collect information from observation networks and C.P.O's to forward to the forecast unit, upon declaration of a flood alert by the forecast unit. (c) To disseminate flood warnings to municipal officials outside Metropolitan Toronto, on direction from the forecast unit. 3. Conservation Branch (forecast unit) (a) To issue flood alerts to the Conservation authority, Metro Civil Defence and Metro Works Department when a potential flood threat exists. (b) To prepare specifically worded flood forecasts, and warnings when necessary upon receipt of sufficient observational data from the report centre. (c) To forward forecasts and warnings to the Conservation Authority, Metro Civil Defence and Metro Works Department. (d) To modify forecasts and warnings from time to time as further information becomes available. (e) To declare to the Conservation Authority, Metro Civil Defence and Metro Works Department when flood danger is past.. 36 -6- 4. Metropolitan Toronto Works Department (a) To collect stream flow and precipitation data from their observation stations and forward it directly to the forecast unit. (b) To protect public property under their jurisdiction upon receipt of a flood warning. 54 Metropolitan Toronto Civil Defence (a) To disseminate warnings to the public upon receipt of such warnings from the forecast unit. Public warnings will not be issued each time a flood alert is declared, but only when specific flood warnings are issued.. (b) To perform civil disaster duties as considered necessary.. 369 -7- VI Recommendations to Develop Warning System as Proposed It is recommended that the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority undertake the following: 1L to form a permanent Flood Warning Service .advisory Committee to review and revise the system from time to time as required, and to co- ordinate the flood warning activities of the organizations concerned. It is suggested that the committee consist of the following seven members or their representatives. 1. Chairman of the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Juthority (as chair- man of the committee.) 2. Senior Field Officer of the Conservation Authority. 3. Director of the Conservation Branch. 4. Hydrometeorologist of the forecast unit. 5. Officer in charge of the Malton Weather Office. 6. Metropolitan Toronto Works Commissioner. 7. Metropolitan Toronto Civil Defence Co- ordinator. 2. a survey of river stages which would produce floods of various severities near river gauge sites. Only in this way can river stage forecasts be translated into useful flood warnings. (See example of type of data required in attachment fl.rr ) 3. establishment of facilities for a report and warning centre as defined above and designation of permanent members of authority staff to man the centre when required. 4. to include in the duties of the Conservation Patrol Officers responsibility to ensure that the observation network is in operating state, and provide reports during flood alerts that may be requested by the report centre or the forecast unit. -$- 5. to install recording stream gauges at the following locations for development of reliable flood fore - casting methods: (Such gauges are also essential to the economical and safe design of any flood con- trol project the Authority may wish to undertake.) Locations for recommended recording stream gauges in order of priority are: (1) Etobicoke Creek at Summerville (2) Humber Main below Woodbridge (3) Black Creek near confluence (4) Humber Main above Woodbridge (5) Humber West at Thistletown (6) Don West at York Mills (7) Don East at Lansing ($) Taylor (or Massey) Creek near confluence (9) Duffin Creek at Pickering (10) Highland Creek near No.2 Highway (11) Mimico Creek at Islington (12) Rouge West at No.2 Highway (13) Rouge East at No.2 Highway 6. to establish, in collaboration with the Meteorological Service, recording rain gauges and snow stations at those Conservation :,reas with full -time attendants. 7. to send to each of the volunteer observers a new set of instructions (proposed form attached) and a copy of the flood warning system work map.

The first draft of the plan has suggested designating the Eglinton Flats area as greenbelt. At a public hearing held by the Township, there was considerable opposition to this designation and the Planning Board deferred a decision on this matter pending further study of the area. On Tuesday, June 10, a meeting was held in the Committee Room of the Metropolitan Council Chambers', and the following organizations were represented: Metropolitan Planning Board Metropolitan Works Department • Metropolitan Parks Department Metropolitan Roads Department Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Township of York Works Department Clerk and Solicitor of the Township of York York Township Planning Board and Council and a private property owner in the area. The Eglinton Flats area was discussed at considerable length and all parties indicated their particular interest in the area. The representatives of the Township of York Planning Board and the Council requested that the various parties advise the Planning Board and the Council of their opinions for the use of the Eglinton Flats in order that a decision on this matter can be reached at a special meeting of Council and Planning Board to be held Monday evening, June 16. (82 Location and Description of the Area The Eglinton Flats lie adjacent to the Humber River at the extreme western end of Eglinton Avenue. The Flats lie north and east of Scarlett Road where it crosses the Humber River. Jane Street runs in an approximately north -south direction, crossing Eglinton Avenue towards the easterly end of the marsh. A large proportion of the marsh consists of poorly drained muck soils that have been used for market gardening purposes for a number of years. Extensive drainage ditches exist within the area to provide adequate drainage for the intensive cultivation of the marshes for cash crops. The western end of the Eglinton Flats adjacent to the Humber River consists of poorly drained soils and the shale bedrock is very close to the surface. This area is continually flooded and shale and debris have piled up to a considerable extent, . particularly in those sections adjacent to the Humber River. There are a number of houses located on the Eglinton Flats, some of which adjoin market garden properties, and others which have small lots and are used only for residential purposes. Practically the entire Flats were flooded during Hurricane Hazel and many of the residents in the valley had to be rescued by boat by the York Township Fire Department.. Factors Affecting the Use of the Eglinton Flats The following is a brief outline of factors which affect the use of the Eglinton Flats from the standpoint of conservation. The level of the floor of the valley of the Humber River from Lawrence Avenue south falls 35 feet in one mile.. The difference in elevation caused water velocities of over 20 miles per hour at the time of Hurricane Hazel. The valley north of the Eglinton Flats is quite narrow and the effect is to create a gorge emptying on to the Eglinton Flats. When the river empties on to the Flats, velocities are reduced and debris is deposited in the quiet water and tends to fill up any established channel and forces the river to meander. The above conditions during Hurrirane Hazel resulted in extensive flooding of the Eglinton Flats, as indicated on flood plain maps prepared by Photographic Survey Corp. for the Dept. of Planning and Development. The Floods Homes and Buildings Assist- ance Board established by the Government of the Province of Ontario paid considerable damages to properties located in the Eglinton Flats. However, no properties were actually purchased. Properties in the Township of Etobicoke west of the Flats and located on Scarlett Road, however, were purchased and turned over to Metropol- itan Toronto. The Minister of Planning and Development requested the Township of York to refuse any building permits in the Eglinton Flats area. In 1955 the Humber Valley Conservation Authority requested the Township of York to pass a by -law under Section 390 of the Municipal Act to prevent building on lands that were flooded by Hurricane Hazel. The Township has never taken any official action in this regard. In 1956 the Humber Valley Conservation Authority obtained a report on proposed channel improvements of the Humber River at Scarlett Road. The consulting engineers studied three alternative proposals for the channelization of the River and the use of the Eglinton Flats. One proposal was to construct a channel and dykes to contain a flow of 50,000 c.f.s. which was the approximate flow of Hurricane Hazel at this point. This proposal would then permit the development of the Eglinton Flats for residential, 38 commercial or industrial use.- The second proposal was to con- struct a channel to contain maximum spring floods of approximately 10,000 c.f.s. and to restrict the use of the Eglinton Flats for agricultural or recreational purposes, The third alternative was to construct minor channel improvements on a temporary basis for immediate flood relief. The engineers recommended that it was not economical to construct a channel in this section of the Humber to provide for the development of the Eglinton Flats for commercial, residential or industrial purposes. The engineers recommended the second proposal which was to construct a channel to accommodate a spring flood of 10,000 c.f.s. and that this scheme would require the restriction of the use of the Eglinton Flats to agricultural or recreation purposes. The channel improvements that the Authority is undertak- ing in the Humber River south of Dundas Street and in the Weston area are designed to accommodate a flow of 10,000 c.f.s. The Water Control brief that is presently being prepared for submission to the Province of Ontario and the Government of Canada; in accord- ance with the report on water control prepared by Jas. F. McLaren and Associates in 1956 for the Humber Valley Conservation Authority;' is recommending that the following three methods of flood control are necessary for the Humber River:.. (1). construction of flood control dams, (2) channelization of the Lower Humber River to accommodate floods of 10,000 c.f.s.. at Weston, (3) acquisition of flood plain lands. Until the Authority has finalized a policy with respect. to an overall flood control program, it would appear that the., majority.of the Eglinton Flats should remain as flood plain lands, and that- there be no further building permitted on this area. However,.• if all three measures of flood control are adopted and reservoirs are constructed, the use of the Eglinton Flats can be reviewed and perhaps sections of it could be developed for commercial, residential or industrial purposes. Recommendations (1) That the Authority advise the Township of York that the area east of Jane Street, north and south of Eglinton • Avenue, could be filled, provided that it was filled to an elevation of 340 GSC, and that this area could be used for commercial•, residential or industrial purposes•, provided that it was adequately drained and served by municipal services. (2) That the Authority recommends that the area west of Jane Street, north and south of Eglinton Avenue to the limits of the flood line of Hurricane Hazel, be restricted for building purposes, and that the Township pass a by -law under Section 390 of the Municipal Act prohibiting the erection of buildings on this area for commercial, residential or industrial purposes, /W 13.6:58 Respectfully Submitted.

Its valley is quite deep, the valley sides are generally steep and well wooded except toward the south end of the property where the valley becomes more open and broad. The Conservation Area comprises parts of lots 12, 13 and 14 of concession IV in the Township of Pickering about midway between Highways 2 and 7 on the Greenwood Road. Duffin Creek is relatively shallow, varying in depth from a few inches to three or four feet. Sand and gravel bars are found along the meandering length of the creek. This section is safe for bathing. Natural woodland with some small areas of reforestation occupy about 75 percent of the total acreage. White cedar is the predominant species in the valley flats and along the valley slopes with some elm, ash and birch. White pine remain in some quantity on the sand plain above the valley while denser wood - lots to the west and east of the creek on high ground are composed of hard maple, pine, hemlock, poplar and oak. In neglected pasturelands sumac has spread over a considerable acreage. The open areas on the sand plain have been used for grazing. A smaller amount of open land in the river valley itself constitutes an excellent picnic area. II DEVELOPMENT (a) Residence and Workshop As this property does not include a house it will be necessary to build a home for the Conservation Area superifltendant. It is also necessary to erect a combined workshop and storage building. The two buildings can be situated to the north of the main entrance. A private service road of some 400 feet will be required to connect the work- shop area with the proposed main road. (b) Equipment Besides smaller items of equipment, one tractor, a chain saw and one three - quarter ton truck will be required to carry out the development program. (c) Roads and Parking Areas Since the valley of the Greenwood Area has been designated by Planning and Development engineers as one of the better proposed dam sites it is advisable to restrict roads and parking areas to the high land. Road construction for maintenance purposes can be restricted in the valley flats. One length of service road of some 1000 feet down to the flats at the south end of the Area may be all that is required. One the sand plain 2 miles of road are recommended for comprehensive development. Part of the abandoned Belt Line railway bed can be used to take in the northern picnic areas. Other existing roads which can be improved to gain access to attractive locations in the northern picnic areas, should be incorporated into the road plan. At present it would be advisable to construct a two -way road to the southern most group of picnic areas and supply only a one -way road to the remaining highland areas which would return to the main double road meeting with it just inside the entrance gate. 4 - 2 - Parking areas have been planned to provide parking facilities for each group of picnic areas within a reasonable walking distance. Even so, at the south end of the Conservation Area', a walk of several hundred yards will be required to reach the most remote picnic area in the river valley. On the high lands parking facilities are located nearer the picnic sites. A total of five parking areas have been outlined in the plan to serve the two general concentration points. These are:- first, the open flats beside the creek and the adjoining strips upstream and downstream; and secondly, the picnic sites along the crest of the valley and the area of pines south of the old Belt Line. A playing field immediately south of the pines can be used for such sports as baseball and for races. To furnish the picnic sites about 200 picnic tables, 20 outhouses and 25 fireplaces will be required. Two foot bridges can be constructed to provide access to sites on the west bank of Duffin Creek. (d) Nature Trails The Greenwood Conservation Area has excellent potential for nature education. Two or three nature trails could be included in the plan of development. One excellent trail through the north end of the Percy Woods could be mate, for which a foot bridge across the creek will be needed. Another trail through the woods at the south end of the Area would likely be used even more. 0 (e) Fishing Trails Trails throughout the length of the creek are suggested to provide good access to " fishint holes" and for general hiking. Additional footbridges and corduroy walks may be required in spots. (f) Reforestation Open land and areas of scrub sumac in the northwest corner of the propert should be reforested. A strip to the extreme south should also be planted because of the very rough nature of the terrain and, more important, because development of picnic sites there would not be advisable due to the close proximity of the busy C.P.R. line. An area north of the abandoned Belt Line could also be reforested. As this portion of the Line constitutes part of the proposed road through the Area, a demonstration planting would be of value in such a location. (g) Group Camp Site The south - eastern corner of the Conservation Area adjoining the creek would serve as a good camping site for Boy Scouts and other groups. This location is away from centres of concentration. (h) Flood Control Reservoir, The Dept. of Planning and Development has designated several flood - control reservoir sites on the R.D.H.P. watersheds. One of these called the "proposed Audley Reservoir site" would flood $5 acres all of which is owned by the Authority. The area flooded would be mainly cedar swamp, although it would eliminate several acres of stream -side picnic areas, its value in providing recreation in the form of swimming, boating and fishing would be a great attraction providing that the water level control could be followed in a similar manner to that used with the Fanshawe Reservoir. At Fanshawe the water level may fluctuate as much as thirty feet in the spring, but during the summer, a relatively permanent lake level is held. If the proposed Audley Reservoir be of this type, that is, designed to alleviate spring flooding to some extent, but not to replenish mid - summer river -3- flow, its recreational value would be high. If the dam is not : • constructed a temporary dam such as the one proposed for the Boyd Conservation Area could be installed. At present it is recommended that a minimum amount of development be carried out in the $5 acres this lake would cover. if the dam were constructed. As stated previously, roads, parking areas and other permanent facilities should be restricted to the high land. III WORK PROGRAM As much of the Area as possible should be fenced. At present no fence exists along the west boundary and some roads and parking a reas exist on Authority property.. Other stretches of fence need repairing and roads into the Area should be fenced or closed off with gates. 'sumac removal will be necessary in picnic and parking areas. Poison ivy is common and should be sprayed in and adjacent to picnic areas. Grass must be cut and brush cleaned up. The building of the roadway, area entrance, parking and picnic sites, nature and hiking trails will require additional labour. IV ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS It would be advisable to have either warning signals installed on the CoP,RO line at the Greenwood Road or have an overpass constructed. Visibility is very poor at this point, railway traffic is fast and frequent. The road on the west boundary is a very poor road, treacherous in winter, muddy in spring and if there were any possibility of having it closed off it might prove unnecessary to fence the whole west boundary. Respectfully submitted, Murray G. Johnson, Field Officer. BUDGET 'ESTIMATES TO CARRY OUT 'DEVELOPMENT FOR THE YEAR 1958.

INTRODUCTION. (a) Location: The proposed Bruces Mill Multiple Purpose Conservation Area is located in lots 34 and 35 Concession of the Township of Markam on the Bruces Creek, 5.5 miles north of Unionville. (b) Reason for Report: At the May 22 meeting of the Conservation Areas Advisory Board the staff was instructed to prepare a complete report on the Bruce Mill Area, which has been under discussion for more than a year. 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA. (a) Physical: The Area which has been proposed for the Bruce's Mill Conservation Area consists of approximately 126 Acres, traversed by the Bruces Creek. Two ro erties are involved, (i) A. D. Bruce, (26.5 acres) and p(ii) H. Kennedy (approx. 100 acres.) The Kennedy property is on a bevelled till plain, and consists of heavy clay soils. Nearly 60% of the property is woodland, two thirds of which is coniferous and the remaining third deciduous. Two branches of the Bruces Creek have cut a shallow, narrow valley across the property, and they join 100 yards below the property boundary. It is in the valley's of these Creeks that most of the wooded area lies. A house, a barn and a shed are located on the property. The Bruce property adjoins the Kennedy property to the south. The Bruce's Creek has cut a wide valley across this area,-and all the flood plain land has been cleared for a pond, created by a dam at the southern end. The dam has been washed out and the pond no longer exists Physically the Bruce property is similar to the Kennedy, however only 20% of the land is wooded. These buildings are on this property, a house, a barn, and a mill. (b) The Mill: The most important feature of the Bruce property is the mill, which is adjacent to the dam. A mill was first built on this site by Caspar Shirk in 1$29 - it was rebuilt in 1858. The mill includes an overshot waterwheel, which is in place, and the frame of the 1$29 mill. It has been owned by the Bruces since 1$43, and is now used as a chop mill. (R.D.H.P. report. History chapter 5,1956.) The dam no longer operates the wheel, nor contains a pond. Both the mill and the pond could be restored. 3. PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT. It is recommended that the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority develop this area as a multiple purpose Conservation Area. The mill should be restored as an historical exibit of pioneer milling and the dam restored, to recreate the mill pond. The area around the mill will require cleaning up for the development of a parking lot and picnic area 427 The Kennedy property to the north is well suited to development for Conservation purposes. A study of the Bruce's Creek has shown that it has a permanent flow with intermediate temperatures. It is suitable for trout in the spring and may be suitable for Kamloop trout all year. The large wooded area to the east of the property is an excellent site for nature trails. The open cultivated field adjacent to the Highway will provide adequate parking and playing field facilities. There are several good picnic sites along the banks of the Creek. 5. RESUME OF ACTION TO DATE. (i) July 26,1956 - The Markam Rural Life Foundation was established, with Mr. Everett Harper as President. Later Mr. A. Latornell then field officer for the R.D.H.P. recommended that the Bruce Park be established as a Conservation Authority project, with Markham Township designated as the benefiting municipality. (ii) April 15. 1957: By a resolution of the Township of Markam, the purchase of the Bruce Historical Park was referred to the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority with Markhams approval of the purchase. The property had been surveyed by Markham Township. (iii) July 31st. 1957: The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority offered the A. D. Bruce Estate $30,000 for the property including the Mill and house. (iv) September 16th.1957: The executors of the A. D. Bruce estate declined this offer. (v) April 3. 1958: The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority was invited by the Solicitor of the Bruce Estate to renew their offer of purchase for 430,000. °6. RECOMMENDATIONS. (i) That the Authority renew their offer to purchase the Bruce Estate on the same terms as offered on July 31,1957 (ii) rhat an evaluation on the 100 acres owned by Harry Kennedy, north of the Bruce property be obtained and that an option for purchase in 1959 be sought. (iii) That these two properties be developed as the Bruces Mill Multiple Purpose Conservation Area, as outlined in this report. 42 HEART LAKE EXTENSION (1) Introduction - At the May 22nd meeting of the Conservation Areas Advisory Board, the matter of an extension to Heart Lake was introduced under Section 6 (a), (b), (c) of the report presented at that time. Two properties are available for purchase, and both are adjacent to our property. The Harvey Parkinson property is adjacent to the north, and the Heart Lake Developments property adjacent to the south and east, as shown on the map. In June of 1957, the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority submitted a brief to the Township of Ching - uacousy and the Minister of Planning and Development, requesting that certain lands (shown on map) be designated as greenbelt, which has been done. Both the properties under consideration lie within the greenbelt area. It is felt that the purchase of these properties is now desirable in order to increase our facilities at Heart Lake. Recent surveys indicate that while the swimming facilities at Heart Lake are the greatest attraction to the public, the picnic areas, parking facilities and nature trails are being intensively used and are inadequate. The purchase of these additional lands would relieve this situation and add very desirable land to our holdings. (2) Description - (a) Harvey Parkinson - 50 acres Ei Lot 17, Con. II, Chinguacousy $500 per acre. This property does not front on either the second concession line or number 17 sideroad, but a right of way for access is available off 17 sideroad. A large wooded area ($0 %) covers rolling hills and intermediate marshes. Large stands of white cedar and second growth aspen are found here. The Etobicoke - Mimico report recommends careful management of this area because of its suitability for wildlife and wild life research. Extension of recreational facilities here would be limited. 429 -2- (b) Heart Lake Developments Ltd. - 90 acres Ei Lots 14, 15, Con. II Well wooded (60%) rolling hills constitute this land. A great variety of species (white pine, hemlock, silver maple, sugar maple and American elm) is found here. A marsh area and stream crosses the property from the south side of the lake. Approximately 1.0 acres have been recommended for reforestation, and the remainder of the area is suitable for the extension of picnick- ing, hiking and parking facilities. Two options have been offered on this property, and neither has been accepted because of their unsuitable terms. (3) Recommendations - (i) That the Heart Lake extension be prepared as a scheme of this Authority. (ii) That negotiations for the Harvey Parkinson property commence.. (iii) That negotiations with Heart Lake Developments Limited continue, and that suitable terms for purchase be drawn up. (iv) That a plan for the development of the extended Heart Lake area be drawn up. 4 ;u THE PROPOSED ROUGE RIVER CONSERVATION AREA (1) Location - The proposed Rouge River Conservation Area is com- prised of approximately 300 acres in Ranges II and III, Lots 31, 32 and 33 of the Township of Pickering. These lands begin at the mouth of the Rouge River and continue up to Highway 401. The lands involved in this report are a small portion of the 14$5 acre Conservation Area recommended for this area,in the R.D.H.P. Report (1956). (2) Description - This is a splendid valley rivalling that of Highland Creek. It is carved broadly and deeply into soft sand and silt deposits. The flood plain lies between 100 - 150 feet below the table land, the approaches to which in some cases are unscaleable. Below Highway 401, the river winds for more than a mile; the flow being continuous all year, and passes slowly over an extensive marshland area, just above the mouth. The plants and animals of this marsh are of great interest to the naturalist. The precipit- ous slopes adjoining the flood plain are well wooded, as is a 1/2 mile stretch of the flood plain south of Hwy. 401: An excellent beach is found at the mouth of the river, but is cut off from the rest of the area by the C.N.R. railway: The beach is about 750 feet long, west of the mouth of the river: This sand and gravel strip narrows from its widest point at the mouth of the river as it approaches the shore cliffs to the west. A similar, but smaller, beach lies to the east of the river's mouth. The R.D.H.P. report claims this to be the best beach on the shoreline of these watersheds. Commercial enter- prises now control the beach. Acquisition of this part of the valley will require the purchase of about 20 winterized cottages situated on the flood plain; (3) Development - It has come to the attention of the Authority that the Township of Pickering may be willing to turn over certain lands at the mouth of the Rouge River to the Authority for con- servation lands. These lands are shown on the accompanying map. _2- 43 r The proposed area, however, encompasses all the valley land from the mouth to Hwy. 401. This area should be developed as the first unit of a scheme which would include the entire area proposed in the R.D.H.P. Report. (a) For Conservation Purposes: The marshy nature of the flood plain and the precipitous slopes limit the value of the area for recreation purposes, but it is very suitable for conser- vation purposes. The marshes harbour a wide variety of birds and fish and are worth preserving on this account alone. As described, the slopes are well wooded, and a great variety of trees is supported, including white cedar, white pine, sugar maple, beech and elms. Where the slopes would permit, hiking trails could be developed through these woods, especially in the upper end of the area, where the flood plain is wooded. These woods will require careful management due to the steep slopes involved, and the encroachment of urban development on the table lands. (b) For Recreation Purposes:.This area is better suited to preservation of existing wilderness than it is for development of. recreational facilities. The land north of Hwy.. 401 is better suited for recreation; i.e. playing fields, dams for swimming and nature trails. There are, however, two sections in this lower region which should be developed for recreation. (i) The Lake Front - The beach is cut off from the rest of the area by the C.N.R., and development here for recreat- ion could be accomplished without detriment to preservation efforts north of the C.N..right of way. The west beach (Fergusons Beach) is being operated commercially and houses a well constructed refreshment concession.. Morgan's Park is located on the east bank of the river above the shore cliff, and it includes a central pavilion, refreshment concession, parking facilities and playing fields. The inclusion of these beaches in our overall development program in this area is necessary, so that recreational activity here will be controlled and conducted in a manner suitable to publicly owned land. tb a1 4w• -3- (ii) The northern area just south of Hwy. 401 has some very desirable picnic sites and is accessible by motor vehicles, and thus could be developed for picnicking purposes. Recommendations: (1) That the Authority enter into discussions with the Township of Pickering regarding the Township owned lands at the mouth of the Rouge River. (2) That the area proposed as the Rouge River Con- servation Area in this report be prepared as a scheme of the Auth- ority, as unit 1 of a scheme to include the entire area proposed in the R.D.H.P. Report. 433 Richmond Hill Waterworks Pond. 1.' INTRODUCTION. :• On January 27, 195$ the Town of Richmond Hill requested that this Authority prepare a plan for the development of the pond and enter into an agreement with the town for the cost of development and maintenance, A preliminary report was presented to this board at the May 22nd 195$ meeting. A complete study has been made of the Pond area and this report compiled for presentation to the Town of Richmond Hill. 2. DESCRIPTION: The pond is situated on the north side of Mill St,between Sugar Maple Lane and Wood Lane. The pond has been created by a dam which also serves as a sub grade for Mill St. The lands involved in this plan are shown on the accompanying map as follows: (1) Area below Mill Street, 3.2 acres, well wooded, very suitable for park development. The stream crosses this area. (2) North side of Mill St east of Pond, 0,.$ acres also suitable for picnic area. (3) A strip 75' wide to be acquired for 6 property owners up the east side of the pond, 0.6 acres. This strip is necessary to join the lower section (2) to the upper (4) (4) The Area containing 5.4 acres is heavily wooded, including many thorn and apple trees. In this area also is a garbage dump which is no longer used. (5) These lands lie outside the bounds of the Town of Richmond Hill, except for 2 acres of the Polish camp property which have been designated as Parkland. The land to the north is heavily wooded, with several springs rising on it, and a large portion of it being flood plain. 3. PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT. (a) Assemblage of Land. It is recommended that the Town of Richmond Hill turn over to the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Authority, all lands which they own, as described in this report, for the development of park facilities. Surveys of these lands should be provided. A 751 strip of land on the east side of the pond should be purchased from the six property ownersinvolved, and surveys of this land made.. The remaining land should be zoned as greenbelt, and turned over to the town as the 5% requirement at such time as the land should be subdivided. The Authority has been informed by the Township of Vaughane that the lands lying to the north of the boundary of Richmond Hill in the Township of Vaughan should be annexed by the Town _ Richmond Hill as the development below Elgin side road is connected with the town. The zoning that is proposed in this report then should result from appropriate steps taken by Richmond Hill. 434 (b) The plan of development of this area is shown on the accompanying map. It is felt that this land lends itself to a passive type of development, which will include picnicing facilities, and a fishing program. Initially the pond should be drained and cleaned. Temperature tests indicate that the pond is suitable the year round for bass, in not too large numbers, The Authority will agree to stock the pond with legal size trout in the spring if the town desires this to be done, Fishing docks will be erected as shown. A fence should be constructed alonj3 the north side of Mill,St bordering the pond. The main picnic Areas will be (1), (2), and (4) on the map. In each of these paved parking areas will be constructed, and picnic tables, and garbage cans similar to those used in Conservation Areas will be provided. Park benches will also be placed in suitable locations. Two washrooms will be provided, one in Area (1) and another in Area (4), These will be of block construction, faced with stone, and will provide toilet facilities and running water. Both will be connected to the city sewer system. Area (2) can be joined to Area (4) by a footpath across Area (3). It is recommended that no concessions be provided.. 4. FINANCING. •It is estimated that this initial development will cost $30,000, which will include the acquisition of the necessary land, and development program, The Metropolitan Tcronto and Region will carry out the development of this area, and the Corporation of the Town of Richmond Hill will be designated as the benefitting municipality. The schedule of costs for development will therefore be : Richmond Hill .. .. .. 15,.000 Province of Ontario.. .. 15,000 Total .. .. $ 30.000 The Authority will require the Town of Richmond Hill to be responsible for the maintenance of this park, and if it is not maintained to the Authorities satisfaction, it will take over the maintenance, and charge the total cost of maintenance to the Town of Richmond Hill. metmpotan 5oronto and /ion Con4ewation ...Authority MINUTES 435 Conservation Areas Advisory Board Meetinz Sept. 4, 1958 #4 ' The Conservation Areas Advisory Board met at the Markham Township Municipal Offices on Thursday, September 4, 1958, commenc- ing at 2.45 p.m. The meeting was preceded by a tour of the proposed Bruce's Mill Conservation Area, commencing at 1.30 p.m. Present were Adv.

That a technical assi ant be employed on the staff to assist in carrying out the na.n re program, to assist with projects con- cerning fish and wildlife, and other related duties. 6. That the Secretary-Treasurer be instructed to forward compliment- ary parking permits to the members of all municipal councils in the Region under the .urisdiction ''f the Authority. 26.1.59 45, REVISED PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT GLEN HAFFY CONSERVATION AREA. Two developments have made the revision of this plan necessary. They are :- Firstly, the planned extension to include 40 acres presently owned and being negotiated with James Haffy and the recommended extension to include 136.5 acres of the Dingle Farms presently being negotiated with the owner, Doctor Baker. Secondly, following suggestions of the Conservation Areas Advisory Board, roads have been kept to a minimum and one major parking lot provided with numerous walking trails to points of interest. The Haffy property: It has been recommended by the board and the executive of the Authority that this property be purchased, se permitting a:, better site for the development of the entrance. The Baker Property: By purchasing 136.5 acreas the Glen Haffy Conservation Area would be within one farm of the Dingle Conservation Area presently undeveloped. The interesting features of this property include an excellent stream and pond site, an eastern section of very rugged topography better suited than the hills in the Albion Conservation .-rea for winter recreation and a suitable acreage along the Niagara escarpment, offering an excellent view for many miles 'o the east. The barn is in excellent condition, the house in fair condition. The owner wishes the use of the land during 1959. Proposed Development 1959. 1. Roads and Bridges: The large field adjoining the Town Line on the Haffy property provides an ideal entrance site the proposed road leads from this field after crossing the stream and passing the checking 45 2 station to an area of flat land suitable for parking, and in fact, probably the only suitable location and yet at a point some distance from the picnic areas and trout ponds. The second section of road traverses a portion of the east part of the Conservation Area; parking facilities have been included for nature trail visitors at the entrance to the nature trail as has been done at the Boyd and Albion Hills Areas. 2. Fishing Ponds: Two fishing ponds ;trc to be constructed under the winter works program and will be complete and in operation for the opening of the Conservation Area. Each dam is of earth fill with construction, /concrete drop inlets and •.rmco through - pipes. An excellent dam site for a third fishing pond exists in the north -east corner of the Baker property and could be developed in 1960. 3. Picnic Areas: Picnic areas will be located in the open land south of the two fishing ponds, along the crest of the gorge near the woods and adjacent to the look -out. These picnic areas will be of conventional character. 4. Reforestation: It is recommended that the very rough land in the southern portion of the Area be reforested and in addition some of the land in the very stony field at the entrance. 5. Nature Trail: The development of the nature trail has been budgeted for in the 1959 estimates. This trail will wander through the north woodlot through a section of reforestation, crossing the stream in two or three locations, and taking advantage of some small waterfalls which exist along the stream. 456 -3 6. Wildlife demonstration In connection ith the reforestation units, wildlife food and cover plantings will be started and appropriately signed to point out those shrubs useful in habouring wildlife and the arrangements in which they might be set out in combination with coniferous trees. Development - 1960. It is proposed that a third fishing pond be constructed, a picnic and winter sports area developed, and one additional.parking lot provided to service the 136 acre extension. The map on display illustrates the 1959 and 1960 proposed development program in some detail. Method of operation. The following is an operation procedure suggested by the staff of the Authority. 1. that no additional charge be made for the privilage of fishing. 2. that a daily limit of two fish per person be imposed. 3. that the upstream fishing pond be for children only - who may be assisted by their elders. 4.. that the downstream fishing pond be open to both adults and children. 5. that if a third pond is constructed in 1960 fly fishing only be permitted. 6. that except as provided here, all other regulations regarding fisheries in the province of Ontario be in force. It is felt that by charging for parking as in other Areas and imposing a daily limit of two trout, a method of charging is effected which will keep any artificiality to a minimum. It is obvious that by charging for each fish caught or by the hour or any other similar means we introduce quite a degree of artificiality into our operation. It is reasonable to have one pond where children may fish with no competition from adults. By regulating the rate of stocking from the rearing ponds we will be able to regulate the catch to a sporting level. By. controlling the stocking and imposing these few rules the operation of the Glen Haffy Conservation Area should be carried out in the 4. most uncomplicated manner. Respectfully submitted. M. G. Johnson, Field Officer. January 22, 1959. 4 5 c 458 FRENCHMAN BAY PROPOSED WILDLIFE AND CONSERVkTION AREA. The staff has been requested to prepare a report on those lands set aside as greenbelt in the plan of development of the Crusader organization. The marsh lands surrounding the bay are quite extensive and provide habitat for a varied bird and animal population. Stream channels dissect the north end of the bay providing ideal habitat for muskrats and some water fowl:. Marsh birds such as the bittern green and blue herons, rails, and a.number of songbirds such as the red -wing and marsh wren. The major part of the acreage set aside o. the greenbelt is that land below an elevation of 250 feet. The level of Lake Ontario regulated by the seaway may fluctuate between 244.6 and 248.6 ft in altitude (corrected U.S. data) which leaves 1.4 ft above the maximum lake level, which would be above the bay level, and it is evident that the highest of this green belt acreage would be limited. One section of higher lands of limited size adjoining the northern service road in the sub division has been designated as greenbelt, this land amounts to approximately one acre and is well separated from the shopping centre by a stretch of marshland at the extreme north end of the bay. Another section of Crusader development lies east of the road running north from Fairport. h small region some eight acres in extent has been set aside as greenbelt. A third area, comprising mainly marshland and lying due east of Fairport has been designated as the greenbelt portion of the third section of the Crusader sub division. A small stream disecting this marsh will have at some time in the future a sewage disposal plant. on its course to serve all parts of the development on both sides of the bay.. 459 2 The accompanying map shows the location of these three major sections of greenbelt and the Crusader developments which they will serve.. It is therefore recommended that :- (1) Land. below the elevation of 250 ft designated as greenbelt be preserved in its present condition and that no fill be permitted in this area, except as outlined in recommendation 2 of this report. (2) That an earth causeway or elevated boardwalk be installed joining the shopping centre parking lot to the small plot of high land on the north east corner of the sub division, and that this area be developed by Crusader,including the installation of one well, a lavatory, and a couple dozen picnic tables. (3) That the kuthority accept the deed to the areas of marshlandbelow the 250 ft contour for preservation and the picnic area described in recommendation 2, if such is offered by the township of Pickering. (4) That the eight acres of greenbelt termed "area 2" in this report be provided with picnic tables and other necessary facilities,deeded to and maintained by the township. (5) That the greenbelt comprising marshland below 250 ft of altitude termed sectioa..3 of this report be deeded to and preserved by the Conservation Authority with any development postponed until finalization of a sewage disposal plant site, at which time the essential lands and access would be provided to the municipality 460 3 - (6) That the Crusader organization seriously consider, in view of the fact that a considerable part of the area described as greenbelt is unsuitable for picnic facilities without encroaching upon marshland, set aside an additional two or three acres immediately north of the beach, and adjoining the marsh on the west side of the bay,for the township for development as a municipal park.

As in other years, they were organized co- operatively between the Dept. of Agriculture, the County Junior Farmers, the Soils Dept. of Ontario Agricultural College, and the Authority. Peel County competition was held on Wednesday, July 30th, on the farm of Mr. Joe Dennis, near Bolton, in Albion Township. This competition was held in conjunction with the Credit Authority. There were 41 contestants in each of three divisions. The Junior winner was Bill Clarkson, R. R. n1, Brampton; Jim McKane, R.R.1, Inglewood, took high score in Intermediate class, and George Pinkney, R. R. 1, Alton, was high scoring senior, as well as having the highest score for the day, which gave him the championship shield. The competition was closed off with an evening banquet at Sand Hill United Church for competitors and families. York County competition, originally scheduled for August 21, had to be postponed to August 25 because of rain. There were 14. competitors. The low number was in part due to the postponed date. A second factor was that the minimum age was 16, as compared to 12 for Ontario and Peel. Winner Woodbridge, who could not go on Mr. Don Hoshel, of the senior competition was Carl Boynton, R. R. 1, also won.the Junior Farmer Bus Trip Award. Mr. Boynton the trip, which was awarded to the 2nd prize senior, R. R. 4, Stouffville. The Junior Prize winner was Bill Mactaggart, R. R. 3, Klein - burg, who received $10.00. The York County competition was held on Mr. Murray Cupples farm, Mount Albert. The Authority supplied noonday lunch to the competitors at Sharon Community Hall. Ontario County competition was held.on Thursday, August 28, at Mr. L. S. Smith's farm, in Reach Township, near Port Perry. There were 44 competitors, the largest number to date, in the three classes. An interesting feature was the fact that about 6 of these competitors were farmers operating their own farms. Winners of first prizes, and scholarships to the Soils Short Course at the O.A.C. were Jack Pearson, R. R. 1, Uxbridge, in the Senior Class, with a score of 87, the highest to date in Ontario; and Lloyd Wilson, R. R. 2, Uxbridge, in the Intermediates. The Junior winner was Jack Scott, R. R. 2, Uxbridge. I feel that these land judging competitions are among the most useful and worthwhile extension activities sponsored by the Authority. They have the wholehearted interest of the several Agricultural Representatives concerned, and of the Soils Dept. of the Ontario Agricultural College, without whose technical supervision they would not be possible. Counties in the Metropolitan Area initiated the idea of soil judging competitions; this year such competitions were held in 7 counties. Interest indicates a probable 15 to 18 for next year. With this increasing interest, it should be possible to stage an Ontario Provincial Competition within the next several years. I therefore recommend that this Authority continue to sponsor financially these land judging competitions in the three counties. A. D. Latornell 29.8.58 Field Officer 472 June 2, 1958 REFORESTATION AND LAND USE ADVISORY BOARD,. Report on Tree Planting. 1958. Under the Authority's tree planting assistance program a record number of trees were planted this spring. Authority tree planting crews planted approximately 360,000 trees. This total is compar3d to 141,000 last year. Tree planting operations commenced on April 15, and were. completed on May 17. Up to 18 men, and six tree planting machines were used. Mr. Elwood Parker was foreman of the tree planting operations.

A. D. Latornell, Field Officer: POND RESEARCH PROGRAM Throughout the region of the Conservation Authority there are a few hundred farm ponds and small natural lakes. Some of these ponds have been subsidized in construction by the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and predecessing Authorities. Naturally there are many engineering, agronomic and biological implications in farm pond construction and management. It is unfortunate that all too little is known about these many facets. Such problems as pond failure, unsuccessful stocking of fish, and aquatic weed control are very little understood. Very little work has been done in the Province of Ontario on these problems. It is therefore suggested that the Conservation Authority under- take a study in farm pond construction and management, which might be studied under the following headings. (1) Design and Construction This phase of the study would entail an analysis of pond failures, and costs of construction of various designs. The volume of a proposed pond should be predictable after assessment of watershed acreage, soil and cover types. This could be done through the study of the volumes and water level fluctuations of existing ponds in relation to the extent, soil type and cover of pond watersheds. Figures should also be available on the peak flows in streams of known acreage and cover type and the spillway designs required to accomodate these peak flows. (2) Fish Management In the many ponds in the region very few indeed are managed for fish production and the sport provided. This is due in part to the unawareness of the land owners of the good quality angling a pond under good management can provide; and, secondly, because ponds have been designed improperly, lacking in many cases size and /or depth for fish production. By studying the temperature, size and other physical - chemical characteristics in ponds in which good fish are presently being raised recommendations can be made for those who might wish to construct similar fishing ponds. Again there is a need for information on the size and depth of a pond required to suit the speckled trout on spring streams of known flow and temperature. In other words, would it be possible for a land owner to construct a pond suitable for trout on a stream of perhaps 60 degrees tempera- ture and 4 c.f.s. (cubic feet per second) of 2 acres? Or would the resultant temperature be too high? How deep a pond should be built to maintain a sub - surface layer of cool oxygenated water where the trout might survive? There is a need for information on the types of fish which might be stocked in Ontario ponds, the temperature and space re- quirements of such species as speckled trout, rainbow trout (Kamloops) largemouth bass, brown bullheads, bluegill and pumpkinseed sunfish, and the rates of stocking of these fish singly or in combination. In many instances treatment with rotenone to remove the existing fish population should be done prior to stocking with the desired fish. This technique, although used by many states and provinces including our own Authority, requires certain refinements. Toxaphene can also be used to remove weed fish prior to stocking, but a great deal of experimental work will be necessary before this technique can be used with predictable results. Toxaphene can be used at a very fraction of the cost of rotenone as a piscicide. (3) Weed Control Problems The peak of farm pond construction probably occured two or three years ago under the impetus of theuthoritys' Farm Pond Assistance ;74 (2) Program. Weed problems generally do not arise until a pond is several years old. It is evident that we are now getting requests for advice on aquatic weed control at an accelerating rate. The problems involved in aquatic weed control are various, since every pond is different in its physical - chemical properties and plant composition. Treatment of certain weeds in various sites and combinations requires experimental work. This would be included in the pond research program. Farm pond work which has been carried out The development of the fishing at Heart Lake is an experiment mainly to evaluate the success of the combination cold water - warm water fish population of Kamloops trout and largemouth bass. At the request of pond owners, recormendations have been made for the stocking of a very few ponds. Other ponds have been surveyed, their physical - chamical characteristics noted and many ponds have been observed to gain some knowledge of the various lines along which a pond research project should be directed. Several ponds have been treated with algacides and herbicides at the request of owners with pond weed problems. The leading suppliers of agricultural chemicals have been contacted regarding aquatic weed control Their advice and assistance has been very encouraging. Approximately 50 ponds formerly subsidized by the Authority have been lined up for experi- mental work and their problems noted to shed some light on the questions which need to be answered in a proposed study as outlined here. An outline of the proposed pond research program. (1) An inventory of the farm and estate ponds and natural ponds in the region. (2) A selection of a required number of ponds of each type for study. (3) Maping and preliminary surveying for intensive surveys. (4) A study of the relation of dug -out pond volumes in relation to watershed extent, soil type and cover type. (5) A study of dam and spillway design requirements on ermanent streams and an analysis of pond failure incurred notibly under the severe rains of Hurricane Hazel. (6) Experimental stocking of game fishes singly or in combination and the assessment of the qualities of existing ponds in which successful game fish production is now taking place. (7) Experiments in the use of rotenone and toxaphene in reclamation of ponds for game fish production. (8) A study of aquatic vegetation control. Proposed Budget of the Pond Research Program for 1958 Equipment 300 Chemical analysis equipment, survey equipment etc. Personnel 1,200 One man to assist the bid'lag_st of the Authority for the remainder cf the year to be recruited from the Conservati:n Areas staff possibly, and some additional :gan power for special work if needed. (3) aerial Inventories and photographing of test ponds to facilitate maping and subsequent surveying. 500. TOTAL $2,000 It is expected that an additional 42,000, might be spent each year during 1959 and 1960 to complete the study. It is felt that the need for this type of work is sufficient to warrent the expense. At the termination of the study enough information should have been gathered for extension material in pamphlet form which could be made available to interested land owners in the region.

In view of the excessive soil erosion on many farms along the various streams in the different watersheds, it is our con- sidered opinion that•the establishment of grassed waterways should be encouraged, where possible. 2. Recognizing that in times of normal rainfall or run -off, farm land, which has been tile drained, provides an extensive reser- voir for much of the excess water, and thus slows up the run- off and attendant soil erosion. Having studied all the implications in both the above problems, your sub - committee accordingly recommends. (a) That the Reforestation and Land Use Advisory Board urge the Authority to pay a grant or subsidy on approved grassed waterways of one -third of the cost, up to a maximum of $75 per hundred acres or fraction thereof; such waterways to have been developed on the recommendations of either the local Agricultural Engineering Extension Specialist, the Soils Advisory Service of the O.A.C., or an officer of the Authority. (b) That farmers installing tile under- drains in the area under the jurisdiction of the Authority be subsidized to the extent of $10 per thousand tile, for installations of a minimum of 5,000 tile or a maximum of 10,000 tile per hundred acres or fraction thereof, in any one year; and further that this subsidy not apply to water conservation or wildlife areas. (c) That an amount of•$3,000 be included in the 1959 budget for (a) above, and $4.,000 for (b) above. 14.1.59 Signed: E. Lemon I. McLaughlin W. Cockburn 4rSv Report of the Sub - Committee on the Dutch Elm Disease Control Program of the Reforestation and Land Use Advisory Board The sub - committee appointed to study the means of implementing Item #5 of Resolution #22 of the Reforestation and Land Use minutes, which reads: "That the Authority consider a scheme to assist.municipalities . in a complete Dutch Elm Disease control program ", met on Friday, January 9th, and begs to make the following report and recommendations.. 1.• In view of the size of the region, the number of municipalit- ies, and the many administrative problems involved, it is not felt practical to•adopt a program to assist all municipalities in 1959. However, as one municipality has already requested assistance, this sub - committee feels that action should be taken to assist this one municipality.. 2.• In view of the seriousness of the Disease, it is felt, however, that some action should be taken to promote eventually a pro- gram of control in all municipalities. Accordingly, your sub - committee recommends that the following action be taken. (a) A meeting of municipal officials and other interested people be held to discuss the details of the survey report and other aspects of the problem. (b) A trial scheme be adopted for the Town of Ajax on the follow- ing basis: (i) The Town of Ajax to be the benefitting municipality.

Historical Sites Advisory Board I was requested to provide the Board with additional information on the estimates that were included in the proposed budget for 1958. I was also requested to outline the terms of reference of the curator.. Budget Estimates The following is a more detailed outline of budget expenditures for the Historical Sites Advisory Board for the year 1958. IV - HISTORICAL SITES (1) Capital Expenditures Acct. G 1 Pioneer Museum (1) Insect control -- An estimate of $730 was received from PCO for the spraying of the pioneer museum to rid the building of the powder post beetle. This figure is for the complete job, inside and outside, and includes men and material supplied by PCO. (2) Preservative -- The sum of $1000 is to be used for the purchase of preservative for the pioneer museum to prevent further decay and to prolong the life of the timbers.. (3) Acquisition of pioneer objects. -- The sum of $550 is to be used for the purchase of books, periodicals, art materials and for the purchase of articles of a pioneer nature to round out the existing exhibits. (4) Labour -- The sum of $1360 is, wages for two.men to assist with the general work at the pioneer museum, including cleaning and restoring of pioneer objects and the setting up of displays. It is estimated that 1088 man hours will be required for these purposes. G 2 Pioneer Village (3) Insect Control -- An estimate was obtained from PCO for the spraying of the first house at the Edgeley Village to prevent powder post beetles. The estimate is $170 for the complete job. (4) The sum of $500 is to be used for the purchase of preser- vative for pioneer buildings at the Edgeley Conservation Area, which would prevent further decay and will prolong the life of the timbers. (5) The sum of $1500 will be used to acquire the basic furn- iture for the 10 rooms in the first and second house at Edgeley. The first house consists of one large kitchen and two other rooms, one of which is a bedroom. This house will require furniture of an extremely primitive nature. The second house has 7 rooms, including one large kitchen and pantry, one parlor room, one study and four bedrooms. The second house was considered a rather elegant house for its time. The furniture for this house must be contemporary with the type of architecture, and it may have to be purchased from various collectors through- out the area. (6) Labour Th same two men who are employed at the pioneer museum will be.engaged in reconstruction work and in the seing up it displays in the buildings at the Edgeley Village. It is estimated that $3488 will be required to employ these men at the Edgeley Village Conservation Area., 492 -2- •The following are estimates obtained from Napier Simpson, architect, for the reconstruction of the buildings at the Edgeley Village Conservation Area for the year 1958. G 2 Pioneer Village (1) Renovation: Second House Roof $1000 Chimney & fire- 1000 place Verandah 700 Wiring 500 Siding & new sash 1000 Misc.interior work $00 $5000 First House Roof $500 Chimney & fire - 1000 place Foundation 1000 Floors & log work $00 Wiring 200 Sash & Misc. 500 interior work $4000 Outbuildings Smoke house $1000 Shanty 200 Cabin $00 Piggery 1500 $3500 Barn Roof $2500 Logwork & framing 1000 Wiring 500 Misc work _ 500 $4500 Mr. Simpson has advised me that these estimates are of a general nature and under the circumstances are the best that he can make at this time. The estimates may be revised considerably depending on what Authority staff is made available to him to carry out the renovation work. Work of this nature is difficult to estimate in view of the fact that one is unable to draw•up specific- ations and to call for tenders. The estimates, however, should be adequate to complete the work as outlined above. (7) Architect & Consultants -- The sum of $4000 will cover Mr. Simpson's fees for designing and supervising the restoration of the log buildings in the•EdgeleyVillage, as outlined in the above budget. In addition, part of the $4000 will be used to pay special consultants which Mr. Simpson may require from time to time to get. special advice on certain features of the development. VII - Operations & Maintenance (not eligible for grant) Acct. 205 Operation & maintenance staff (a) Guide to assist with school groups - A total of 456 man hours from Apr. 15 to June 15 and from Sept. 15 to Oct. 31. Total estimated cost $6$4. 493 -3- (b) Guide to assist Curator from• Jurre 16 to Sept. 15 - a total of $$ days. This man is to do general work, in addition to guiding visitors at the museum.

Colucci. The general cleaning work,•the removal of materials not pertinent to the restoration project) cleaning, storing of lumber and other materials were started on or about November 15, 1957. The removal of the insul brick siding and strapping of the second log house has been completed. The material was considered waste and has been scrapped. •The removal of all plumb- ing fixtures has been completed; that is, pipes, fittings, toilet and bath equipment, and this material has been stored. General cleaning of the second log house, which consisted of the removal of rubbish and other waste material has been completed. The removal of the ceiling boards throughout the house has been completed. All the lumber in the building has been cleaned and stored'. All whitewash and wallpaper has been removed from the walls and the ceiling of the second log house. This work was completed with the assistance of a steam machine which greatly facilitated the work. The frame barn-on the property, which was of a later date than the other buildings, has been completely removed. All salvage- able material, including siding, rafters, timbers and stones used in the foundation, have been stored and may be of use for the restoration of other buildings. The log barn on the property, which is to be restored, has been given a thorough cleaning and is presently being used for the storage of materials. The logs have been covered over with boards in order to provide some protection from the weather. Two garages and a chicken house, which were located on the property when it was acquired by the Authority, have been removed and all salvageable material stored. At the present time all paint in the second house is being removed by the use of paint remover, and the wood is then being restored to its natural condition. A carpenter has been assigned to the second house, and under the direction of Mr. Simpson he is restoring some of the wood work in the building.. Respectfully submitted. A. Colucci Curator 49r SCHEDULE "B" Report on Conservation of Log Buildings and Cenetery of Historical Importance - by Elsa Neil, Historical Consultant On the south -east corner of Steele's Avenue and Jane Street; there is a small cemetery and adjacent, to the east, the former Stbrav farm now owned by the government and administered by the Central Mortgage and Housing.Corp. On this farm is a grogp of five log buildings (two barns, two houses and a shed) built by some of the people buried in the cemetery. The Stong• property was settled about 1796 and at least two of the buildings now standing were built about that time. The very interesting history of this district has been well recorded by the late Mr. T. E. Kaiser, M.D., M.P. and local Women's Institutes groups. The earliest settlers were predominantly Pennsylvania Dutch who left prosperous and well established farms in Pennsylvania when the United States seceded from Britain. These settlers were therefore United Empire Loyalists. Vandalistic tenants occupying the largest log house have considerably damaged the other log buildings by tearing away the roof of the smaller barn and the interior of the smaller house for firewood. However, as far as I have been able to ascertain, it would be possible to restore these buildings and I would like to set forth a few reasons why this should be done. 1. Probably nowhere in America could be found five log buildings between 130 to 150 years old in their original setting and with the last resting place of those who built them, so close at hand. It is almost too late, but not quite, to restore these buildings which would be a most appropriate monument to our pioneers - a monument built by their hands. 2. This property is in the Metropolitan Area and besides being on the corner of two thorough -fares (Steele's and Jane) it is easily accessible from super- highway 400. 3. The beautiful contour of the valley and river on two sides .of the buildings and cemetery provides a splendid landscaping and conservation project for the Humber Valley Conservation Authority. (At present the small valley is bereft of trees and used as a dump. 4. I have spoken to several Women's Institute groups in this district and plan to speak to others to seek their assistance in finding and donating equipment and furnishings of the pioneer era for a museum setting. Those to whom I have spoken have indicated their interest and willingness to help such a project. Lady Tweedsmuir during her husband's term of office as Governor - General, asked the Women's Institutes of Canada to collect historical data of their particular localities. They have done a remarkable work. I am sure Lady Tweedsmuir would have been very gratified to learn that these groups had enlarged their field of interest to that of conservation of building, furnishing and equipment of our early settlers. 5. Norway, Sweden, Denmark and United States have established whole villages of buildings of historical or architectural value. Some of the log structures are almost a thousand years old. Each building is furnished and equipped according to its period. In Oslo, Norway, 150 buildings were moved to one site (a costly procedure). However, once established, these Folk Museums are a great tourist attraction and the price of admittance $1.00 to d$1.50 pays for their upkeep and administration. Groups of school children accompanied by their teachers are admitted free on special occasions and the educational and inspirational value to future generations is easy to imagine. 496 - 2 - In the case of the Stong farm, there is the mucleus of five buildings and ancient cemetery in a setting which could be beautiful (at the moment-it all looks like Tobacco Road). After the restoration of these, it would be hoped that other buildings known to have been on the property over a hundred years ago would be added, i.e. blacksmith shop, etc. The original church was sold some years ago and moved to the 4th concession and converted into a residence. The church sheds were moved and added to the church at Edgeley, while a small school with belfry is also not far away. 6. Does it not seem amazingly stupid that thousands of dollars are made available to archeologists to dip up Indian relics and try to reconstruct their mode of life, while at the same time, the ingeniously fashioned homes, barns, workshops and furnishings and equipment of our early white settlers are being ruthlessly destroyed or sold to antique dealers or scouts for American Museums where they have been and are still being shipped by the train load to equip museums and be passed off as Americana? 7. Pioneer departments in Canadian Museums have, for the most part, been a shabby dusty, dreary jumble of unrelated objects on walls, shelves and floors. The few new museums and the old ones, who have had a housecleaning, are only an improvement in • cleanliness and more colour - BUT the relics are still on walls, shelves and floors - the main consideration given to arrangement appears to be according to the size, shape and colour of the object, rather than their relationship to each other and to pioneer living. We still have the opportunity to restore, furnish and equip barns, i workshops and homes exactly as they were in the early 1800's. This, in my opinion, is the only arrangement which will be of educational value to future generations. And now for ways and means: - Since the property is owned by the Government, it should be comparatively easy to acquire the buildings and sufficient land surrounding them. Also the recently established Historical Sites Board would doubtless give the project their blessing and assistance. The following civic and provincial departments and societies would approve and benefit by such a project: City Parks Commission Dept. of Travel and Publicity Civic Historical Dept. Metropolitan Planning Br. County of York Dept. Planning and Development Agricultural Dept. of Ont. Humber Valley Conservation Authority Women's Institute York Pioneer and Historical Society U.E. Loyalists Assn. Architectural Conservancy Assn. Not one of these departments or societies would tackle this project alone - but if they approve of it and would benefit by it - surely a joint effort could be organized. Since financing the project is the biggest stumbling block, how about approaching wealthy individuals or companies or corporations who might finance the restoration of all or even one of the buildings I have described. In helping to create this monument to our pioneers, the wealthy individual would also create the finest type of monument to himself - likewise, the company or corporation would receive lasting and the finest kind of publicity by helping to rescue, restore and equip this shrine for future generations to visit and honour. 497 - 3 - About Museums the Massey report says: "A good Museum • can teach more and please more than any teacher however gifted, or any book however well written. By a good Museum is meant one which has a clear story to tell which tells it by the grouping, sequence and flow of exhibits ". Too long have Canadians and their governments been tardy and nigardly in suitably honouring our early settlers. If we now use a fraction of our pioneers' courage, perseverance and ingenuity, we could soon create a shrine to honour them and inspire future generations.

He was a member of the Turtle clan of the Mohawk tribe. He was proud of his heritage and of the life he lived and the battles he had fought. He had one son, a thin and sensitive young man named Tim Shim. The father's great ambition was to see his son married and settled before he died. So he went to the chief of a neighbouring clan and there bargained for the hand of Tu Krit. Now Tu Krit was a lovely maiden, with a mind of her own, and her father had long since given up hope of marrying her to a brave of his own choice. But when he saw the fine old warrior pleading for the maiden to wed his son, he arranged for the marriage to take place. At first Tu Krit rebelled, but her father was firm. Also she was intrigued with what she heard of this young man and so, with proper ceremony and feasting, the two were married and she went to dwell with the Turtle Clan of the Mohawk tribe as the wife of Tim Shim. It took Tu Krit a little while to get used to her husband, but when she did she found that he was gentle and brave, and as the months went by she grew to love him with all her heart. And Tim Shim, once he knew his lovely bride, loved her also and rejoiced that his father had brought them together. His father watched for exactly one year and when he saw how successful the marriage had become, he breathed a grateful sigh, commended his soul to the Great Spirit and quietly died. He was buried with great pcmp as befits such a warrior and the saddened Tim Shim and his bride settled down to the quiet married life they had found together. And then two things happed. Tu Krit discovered that she was to have a child and she rejoiced greatly for she wanted to give her beloved husband a son. But also she began to worry for Tim Shim was becoming morose, he was fearful of shadows, and he spoke little. 533 - 2 At first, Tu Krit thought it was something to do with the coming of the child but her busband loved and desired her as much as before and so one night, when they lay on the skins which covered the floor of their hut, she wound her arms around him and talked to him, and drew from him the tale of the problem which caused his worries. In the land at that time there were secret societies among the Indian Tribes. They were very secret, no man knew who belonged, wives did not know if their husbands were members. Strange and terrible were the things they did, and horrible was their vengeance on any one who thought to betray them. Such a society wanted Tim Shim to become a member. He was clever and they needed his cleverness. And he had listened for so long that he was scared to withdraw. Tu Krit comforted and soothed he husband. She told him he need not join, they could not harm him. He could refuse them and live quietly and when the society saw that he did not intend to betray them they would leave him in peace. Tim Shim told his wife that the invitation would come in zhe form of a birch twig. It would be left by the door of their hut one night. He must take it in and keep it and then the next night he must place it outside again. If he broke the twig it meant he wanted no part of the society, but if he left it whole he intended to join them and be one of them for ever more. Now Tu Krit did not know that, although he was frightened, deep down her husband longed to join the secret group. Never strong, he had watched war parties come and go and he had listened to tales of valour in company with the other braves, but it was only because of his father that he was given the respect and the place he held. In the society he could perform strange and brave and terrible deeds, and although he could not talk about them some men would know and he Tim Shim would realize his own great strength and bravery. One night the birch twig came and all the next day he sat in his hut looking at it. The next night he returned it to its spot outside the door and then he came back into the hut and told Tu Krit that he had broken it 534 - 3 - Soon after, first one night and then another, Tim Shim slipped from the hut. Tu Krit was at first curious, and then suspicious and then alarmed and she knew her husband had lied to her and that he was one of the horrible group which brought terror by night. She said nothing but tried to make life a happy one for her husband, she did everything he asked and saw to his comfort in every way. Then one morning, a brave from her old tribe came to camp and said that her father had been killed, along with three others for daring to disobey the orders of the secret society. That night Tu Krit, in her hut, sat wide eyed and still. She called to the great spirit and asked for help, for her father was dead and the husband she loved so much had helped to kill him. She thought of her son, as yet unborn, and all the plans she had for his future. The Great Spirit took compassion on Tu Krit and he reached down his hand, and very gently lifted her up into the heavens and took she and her child to live with him. .And as she went to join him, tears finally came to her dry eyes and they formed one great tear and fell to the ground below. Tim Shim came home and found his wife gone. He searched the camp and she was nowhere. He knew that she had discovered )is treachery and his heart broke and he left camp and wandered away to the west looking for her. For many long years he walked, never resting, trying to find his beloved bride. But she was with the spirits and could not be seen. Only the great pool of her tears rested on the ground and it is still there. If you travel from Toronto to the city of Brampton, just before you get there, you will pass a small lake. It is on the grounds of the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation authority's Conservation Area. They call it Heart Lake because of its shape, and it is the pool of Tu Krit's tears. It has lain on the ground, shaped like a broken heart, ever since the day when the beautiful Indian woman learned that the husband she loved so much had proven to be unworthy of her. 535 REPORT TO THE INFORMATION AND EDUCATION ADVISORY BOARD ON JUNIOR FISHING DAYS, 1958 JUNIOR FISHING DAYS SUB - COMMITTEE Two meetings of the Junior Fishing Day Sub - Committee were held prior to the events to organize the operation and organization.. The members of this committee were as follows: Chairman - Mr. W.R. Wand Mr. S. Hambly Mr. Geo Baker Mr. Geo. Cooke Mr. Fred Turner Mr. Elmer Sager Mr. Curwain of the Ontario Editorial Bureau also attended the two meetings. ORGANIZATION WITH SCHOOLS Permission was obtained from Inspectors in all Inspectorates in the watershed. A list of schools was made up, including as well the number of Grade 8 students in each school. Approximately 18,000 students were eligible to participate in both Fishing Days. One Fishing Day was held at the Albion Hills Conservation Area on May 10th, the other at the Greenwood Conservation Area on May 24th'. Quizs were given each school and the schools were then notified of the number of pupils they would be allowed to send. With this information, details of the Junior Fishing Day and the quizs prepared by the Junior Fishing Day Sub - Committee were forwarded to facilitate choice by the teachers of the pupils who would participate. This quiz was a comprehensive Conservation test of a true - false nature intended to promote some thinking on Conservation and its implications in our watershed. Approximately 550 children participated in each Fishing Day. They came from schools in the following inspectorates: Albion Hills - May 10th Peel #1 - Chinguacousy West and East, Town of Brampton Peel #3 - Albion, Toronto Gore and Toronto Townships, Bolton and Caledon East Villages York 12 - King and Whitchurch Townships and Town of Richmond Hill York #4 - Swansea, Weston and Vaughan Township YORK TOWNSHIP TOWNSHIP OF ETOBICOKE LAKESHORE DISTRICT NORTH YORK SEPARATE SCHOOL - TORONTO DIVISION #2 SEPARATE SCHOOL - TORONTO DIVISION #4 Greenwood - May 24th EAST YORK FOREST HILL VILLAGE LEASIDE ONTARIO #2 - Pickering Township & Village, and Ajax SCARBOROUGH YORK #3 - Markham Township ONTARIO #1 - Uxbridge Township • SEPARATE SCHOOL - TORONTO DIVISION #1, #3, #4 and #5 CITY OF TORONTO 2 - 536 ORGANIZATION OF SPORTSMEN To transport the children from the schools to the Conservation Areas, the help of several Sportsmens' Groups and many interested indivuals was enlisted. 121 volunteers drove the children to the Albion Hills and 94 volunteers assisted us in transporting the children to Greenwood. These men were assigned groups of•from three to six children from one or in some instances, two schools, and•it was their responsibility to watch over the children during the day, to assist them with their angling and explain to them such things as how'a sub -legal trout could • be returned safely to the water and why trout under 7" must be released. One bus was chartered to assist in transporting to the Albion Hills Conservation Area and four buses were used to provide transportation to Greenwood. JUNIOR FISHING DAY - ALBION HILLS - MAY 10 The day before the event 600 speckled trout of legal size were stocked by the Dept. of Lands and Forests. Retaining wiers were installed by the Conservation Authority staff to hold the fish in the Conservation Area until after the children had left for their homes. On May 10th at Albion Hills the weather was cool and damp in the early morning but soon cleared up and the remainder of the day was quite sunny and pleasant. The catch of trout by the children was poorer than expected as only about 75 fish were checked as the children left the Conservation Area in the late afternoon. JUNIOR FISHING DAY - GREENWOOD - MAY 24 It was our luck that the weather on May 24th was one of the best days of the spring. A larger percentage of the fish were caught by the young anglers that day as about 150 fish were checked at the gate as the children left. GENERAL CONCLUSIONS The children certainly enjoyed Junior Trout Fishing Days this year and it was quite evident that the volunteers had an equal amount of fun. Even though some young fishermen did not catch a trout, the number of fish being caught kept their interest to a fairly high leval and a large majority of them continued fishing quite seriously throughout the day. The organization and promotion of Junior Fishing Days such as this • should certainly be reviewed and in the following section of this report, recommendations have been made. .RECOMMENDATIONS: The following arrangements of Junior Fishing Days are quite satisfactory and I feel should be continued: 1. That Grade $ students only be allowed to participate and that their selection be made on a quota basis to each school depending on the number of Grade $ children they have enrolled - through the use of a Conservation quiz of the type used on previous Fishing Days. 2. That the Sportsmens' Groups in the Metropolitan Toronto area be allowed to supervise and teach these children some aspects of fish conservation at these Fishing Days. 3. That the number of children and supervisors comprising Fishing Day be kept in the range of a maximum of 500 - 600 children. That crests and some fishing gear such as hooks, lines and sinkers be provided to the children and crests and lunch to the volunteer supervisors. 537 -3- It is recommended, however that the organization of arrangements for transportation for the children be streamlined. First of all, it is suggested that one Fishing Day be held each year. The Albion Hills Conservation Area and the Greenwood Conservation Area are equally suitable for such an event and if this program is to be continued, it is suggested that each Conservation Area should be used in alternate years and that municipalities in the western part of the water- shed be• invited every two years and the same with the eastern municipalities. That is, it is suggested that a Fishing Day be held at the Albion Hills Conservation Area in 1959; Greenwood Conservation Area in 1960; Albion Hills Conservation Area in 1961, and so on. Further it is recommended that the office work involved could be cut down to a small percentage of what it has been by doing the following: Each school should be notified of the number of pupils allowed to participate along with the details which each teacher would be expected to know and the Conservation quiz. The entry cards of the successful students should be forwarded in a group to the Woodbridge Office of the Authority, and at that time, notification to these children should be sent out to meet busses at T.T.C. suburban terminals. Crests should be forwarded to these children at that time and worn the day of the Fishing Day so that bus drivers could identify their passengers. The volunteer supervisors could be enlisted and requested to go direct to the Conservation Area concerned and on meeting the bus at the Conservation Area pupils could be assigned in groups as they arrived. This would eliminate the emergencies resulting when supervisors drop out on the last minute due to sickness or car trouble and other causes. The bus would then be required to take the children back to T.T.C. terminals after the event. If this system were used, the complete arrangements of Junior Fishing Days would be made much more simple and emergencies would be eliminated. LIGHT MOMENTS IN ORGANIZING JUNIOR FISHING DAYS Like the Grade 8 pupil who by error filled in a volunteer card and then was assigned several children to transport and supervise for the day. He phoned into the Office saying he would like to supervise but since he was only 13, he did not have a car. Another little fellow phoned in saying that he could not go but someone would go in his place -- he had sold his ticket. A little Jewish fellow who way permitted to go by his parents only if he did not fish on the Jewish Sabbath -- and guess who caught the most fish. In conclusion of this report I might say that Junior Fishing Days, 1958 were enjoyed by all concerned and it is felt that this program should be continued with some modifications as suggested.

This program in all its aspects reached an estimated three - quarters of Grade 7 and 8 students in elementary schools. These activities have included the following: (1) Public Speaking Competition - Reported in detail by Mr. Griggs. The theme of the District1D finals was "Conservation" and 32 students from as many schools entered the finals. (2) Junior Trout Fishing Days - Reported in detail by Murray Johnson. Two days were held, one at Albion Hills, and one at Green- wood. About 550 children participated in each, from 19 different inspectorates. Some 18,000 children were eligible to participate; actual participants were selected on the basis of a conservation "true and false" quiz. (3) School Tours - During the last weeks of the school term, a number of schools completed their classroom studies in conservation by taking a conservation tour into the Metro area watersheds. These tours were made by bus; were mostly of 6 - 7 hours' duration, and were mostly for Grades 7 and 8. The buses were accompanied by a member of the Authority staff. The routes generally followed this general route: 1. Pioneer Museum for conducted 1 hour tour. 2. Woodbridge flood plains - discussed damage of "Hazel" floods and measures taken since. 3. Boyd Conservation Area - discussed use of such areas and toured Nature Trail. 4. A Planned Farm - usually the farm of Mr. Jesse Bryson of the Authority, whose farm features a farm plan with strip crops and contours. Here they discussed soils. 5. Farm ponds along the route to Albion Hills. 6. Albion Hills Conservation Area - further discussion of soils; visited reforestation areas; saw tree planter and fire fight- ing equipment. 7. Stop of Peel Plain below Bolton - discussed land forms. Some 450 children from 17 different school classes were taken on all or part of this tour. (4) Conservation Camp School - The 5th Annual Conservation Camp School for a Grade 9 class from York Memorial Collegiate was held on May 28, 29 and 30, 1958. A class of Grade 9 students moved into Camp Kneale at Bolton, on Wednesday morning, and remained until Friday evening. During this time they were under the continuous direction of Miss Snell and Miss Scoles of the teaching staff, with day to day assistance of other staff members. All the Authority Field Officers participated in instructing the students on their field trips made to areas in the vicinity of Bolton. A brief schedule of their daily activities is as follows: Wed. a.m. - Studied weather at the camp under their own staff. Wed. p.m. - Wildlife Conservation - under Murray Johnson - visited Albion Trout Club and Gibson Lake, and studied theory and practice of wildlife management. Thurs. a.m. - Forest Conservation, with Ken Higgs and Murray Johnson, at the Albion Hills Conservation Area; studied tree identification, forestry management and reforestation. They visited a sawmill and saw finished products. Thurs. p.m. - Soil Conservation - A. D. Latornell and Murray Johnson. Visited Jesse Bryson's farm and saw several types of farm ponds. -2- Fri. a.m. - Visited farms of Mr. S. M.. Blair; a beef and sheep farm, and Mr. E. Stewart's dairy farm. Fri. p.m. - Visited a rural school in Bolton area and saw rural education in action. From the standpoint of the Authority staff, the Conservation Camp School was one of the most worthwhile school activities held. The students seemed most interested in the field work, and were attentive and well disciplined. (5) Conservation Scrapbook Competition - A report on this project was submitted earlier, listing prize winners. Some 155 entries from about 100 schools were submitted. These entries were well spread out among public and separate s ^.hools from all inspector- ates. The top 3 prize winning classes in ea ^h watershed area received their awards at a short presentation ceremony. Recommendation: Following the close of the competition, a short questionnaire was sent out to some of the teazhers whose classes submitted prize winning entries. The purpose was to get their reactions to the project, and receive their suggestions for future schoolroom projects. Most expressed enthusiasm for the class interest in the scrapbook projects, but suggested it not be held annually, but every several years. • (6) Conducted Nature Hikes - All schools taking the conser- vation tour outlined in (3) were given a conducted nature hike. In addition, some schools visited the nature trails only. A tctal of 26 school classes were taken over the nature trails during May and June. (7) Pioneer Museum - The Museum was included.in the conser- vation tour. In addition, many school classes visited only the Museum. In all, some forty classes toured the Museum under the guidance of the Curator and his staff. x. D.

The Purpose of the Plan The purpose of this plan is to permit the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to establish facilities for a camp school in the Albion Hills Conservation Area. The purpose of the proposed.camp school is to enable students to move from their regular classrooms into a setting from which it is possible to study conservation at first hand. The camp school facilities will include buildings and furnishings for them that are necessary to provide a whole class of students and staff with suitable accommodations for up to a week's residence. The Authority proposes to make these facilities avail- able to such schools as wish to use them, together with other groups and organizations such as Junior Farmers, 4 -H Clubs, Naturalists, University classes as may also be interested. 2. Reasons for Building a Conservation Camp School, What is a Conservation Camp School? Conservation is an integral part of the school curriculum in Ontario. A conservation camp school will take place in school time.. A classroom of students and their teacher will go to a camp school where they will live together for a week or perhaps longer, and will engage in outdoor education. • The conservation camp school will not carry on classroom studies, but rather will do those things which can best be done outside the classroom to integrate and make more real what has been studied about conservation from books in school. Some lessons can be learned better outside the school than in it. The Need for Conservation Camp School Facilities in the Toronto Region Outdoor education has been proven sound educationally in both the U.S.A. and in Europe. There are numerous school camps in the United States and in England and Scotland. There are no permanent school camps in Ontario, or in Canada, so far as is known. Several schools in the Toronto area have undertaken school camping, but most have had to abandon them because of lack of suit- able facilities at a reasonable distance. One school, York Memorial Collegiate, has had a three day.camp school in the Humber watershed for six successive years.. The camp facilities they used have now become unavailable... The demands on the staff of the Authority for school tours, hikes and camps to study conservation first hand have become so great as to make it impossible to fulfil such requests without permanent facilities. It almost goes without saying that education in the need for and methods of conservation of our resources is basic to all our conservation work. A camp school will provide students of the Greater Toronto Area an opportunity to study in a natural environ- ment the conservation of our natural resources. Probably no other activity of their school careers will bring them closer to the outdoors under such conditions as to impress on them and interest them in the conservation of resources. 549 -2- 3. The Camp School Location The site for the proposed camp school will be the Albion Hills Conservation Area, located in Albion Township, some five miles north of Bolton, and only twenty miles from the Metropolitan Toronto boundary. The property is owned by the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. The Area adjoins Highway #50 and is accessible at all times of the year. Water; hydro and telephone are available. The Humber River flows nearby, and there is a variety of terrain. Conservation demonstrations of land use, reforestation, wildlife management, farm ponds and nature study are available nearby, both on Authority property and on private lands. Use It is proposed that this camp school be primarily for the use of school groups, mostly from secondary schools. Other groups with similar interests, e:g. teacher training, University, 4 -H Clubs and Junior Farmers and naturalists will also be accommodated. The camp school will be operated on a year -round basis. Staff Teaching will be done by Authority personnel and others trained in the sciences and in various phases of conservation. Establishing the School It is proposed to establish the Albion Hills Camp School in three stages. Stage 1 -• Basic Facilities. The preparation of the site and the construction of a central building for year -round use which will house one classroom of students, plus staff. The basic facilities will include dining, kitchen, sleep- ing, recreation; teaching, administration and storage areas. It is proposed that these basic facilities be housed in one building, which will be w_nterized. Stage 2 - The construction of winterized sleeping cabins, separate from the main building, to accommodate additional numbers of students. Stage 3 - The construction of additional facilities as the demand warrants. 4. Supervision and Administration Supervision of the students.will be the responsibility of the school or group using the facilities. Administration will be carried out by the Authority 'staff under direction of a permanent committee of educational and Authority representatives set up for the purpose. Maintenance of the camp area and buildings will be the responsibility of the Authority staff who are located in the area. 550 -3- 5. Financing, It is proposed: (a) that the sum of $100,000.00 be provided for capital develop- ment in the Information and Education budget for 1959, for carrying out the construction of stage 1 of the plan. (b) that the Chairman of the Authority and the Chairman of the Information and Education Advisory Board be authorized to appoint an Endowment Advisory Board, whose function would be to solicit assistance for equipping the school. 55 I MetPopottan 7&onto and legion Conseruation -.4aChority MINUTES Information & Education Adv.
