Emergency Plan 2020 This page inten�onally le� blank Page 1 FORWARD King Township is a predominantly rural area situated on the northern edge of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) 30 minutes north of downtown Toronto. With a popula�on of almost 28,000, and an area of 333 km², it is the largest in size and smallest in popula�on of nine local municipali�es within York Region. It includes three dis�nct urban communi�es; the villages of King City, Nobleton and Schomberg as well as several smaller unique hamlets such as Ansnorveldt, Ketleby, Laskay, Lloydtown, Potageville, and Snowball. While all municipali�es are vulnerable to hazards, there are many unique features within King Township that have been iden�fied and considered through a risk analysis that require effec�ve emergency response capabili�es. Known for its rolling hills of the Oak Ridges Moraine, the Holland Marsh, and agricultural and equestrian ac�vi�es, King is home to a large amount of natural, environmentally sensi�ve and protected lands. High volume transporta�on routes used for shipping (freight) and heavy commuter and cotage traffic bisect the Township. A passenger rail line and the Trans Canada Pipeline cross through the township and manufacturing and industrial areas where hazardous materials are used and stored. Hazards are increasing in both number and frequency across the world. Climate change will con�nue to increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as heat waves, tornados, heavy rainfall and subsequent flooding and serious winter storms. Factors like increased urbaniza�on, cri�cal infrastructure, terrorism and animal and human diseases together with the heightened movement of people and goods around the globe have elevated the poten�al for disasters. In order to protect the residents, businesses, infrastructure and environmentally sensi�ve and protected lands of King Township, the Emergency Plan has been prepared to minimize the effects of, coordinate the response to, and manage the recovery from a disaster or major emergency affec�ng our township. By acknowledging the likely effects of iden�fied threats and planning for those specific threats, risk-based strategies and management arrangements can be developed with a community focus. Iden�fying individual roles and responsibili�es, ensuring a controlled and coordinated response of all agencies involved, and efficient and effec�ve management of resources, will assist with building a more resilient community while promo�ng confidence within individual residents and in King Township as a whole. King Township acknowledges the importance of emergency preparedness and the need for all areas of society to work together to enhance our community’s resilience. With the ever-changing emergency management environment and risk landscape, and the increase in frequency of both natural and human induced hazards and disasters, the management of emergencies and our response to them, challenge us to achieve a brave, sustainable, championship culture. King Township is commited to building community resilience through a high level of individual and collec�ve awareness, preparedness, coordinated response ac�ons and posi�ve, collabora�ve partnerships and community engagement.

  • King Township Public Library King City, Ontario Chief Executive Officer
    King Township Public Library King City, Ontario Chief Executive Officer Posting open until filled. Review of applications begins October 11, 2011. Libraries are changing. You know that and we know that. We want a CEO who can lead and leverage, who can be strategic about new technologies while ensuring equitable service. Communities are also changing. We will experience dramatic growth and changing demographics over the next decade. We need a CEO who can keep the Library in step with the community, nurturing critical partnerships with volunteer organizations to embed the Library in the community’s business, conservation, cultural and educational affairs. You recognize that leadership is the exercise of social influence. You will be keen to continue our exceptional reputation, to profile the Library in the province and beyond, to develop and manage strong relationships with mayor, council and township officials. Skilled at revenue development, you can demonstrate value for municipal investment in its public libraries. We are a leading library system with four branches encompassing the villages and hamlets of Ansnorveldt, Kettleby, King City, Laskay, Lloydtown, Nobleton, Pottageville, Schomberg and Snowball. These villages, halfway between Toronto and Barrie, are surrounded by agricultural lands yet only 30 minutes from Toronto’s Pearson International Airport and easily accessible to the city’s exuberant cultural life. Residents are well educated, with average family income exceeding the provincial mean and unemployment very low. This history of Ontario may be seen in King Township’s physical features: the Oak Ridges Moraine; the Humber corridor, an ancient portage; the unique Holland Marsh, known as “Ontario’s Salad Bowl,” providing fresh produce to local and export markets; rich farmland settled by early immigrants who established vibrant villages renowned for fostering basic principles of democratic government.
