Page 17 of 65 Minister of Environment and Climate Change Mandate Letter

Dear Mr. Wilkinson: Thank you for agreeing to serve Canadians as Minister of Environment and Climate Change. On Election Day, Canadians chose to continue moving forward. From coast to coast to coast, people chose to invest in their families and communities, create good middle class jobs and fight climate change while keeping our economy strong and growing. Canadians sent the message that they want us to work together to make progress on the issues that matter most, from making their lives more affordable and strengthening the healthcare system, to protecting the environment, keeping our communities safe and moving forward on reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples. People expect Parliamentarians to work together to deliver these results, and that’s exactly what this team will do. It is more important than ever for Canadians to unite and build a stronger, more inclusive and more resilient country. The Government of Canada is the central institution to promote that unity of purpose and, as a Minister in that Government, you have a personal duty and responsibility to fulfill that objective. That starts with a commitment to govern in a positive, open and collaborative way. Our platform, Forward: A Real Plan for the Middle Class, is the starting point for our Government. I expect us to work with Parliament to deliver on our commitments. Other issues and ideas will arise or will come from Canadians, Parliament, stakeholders and the public service. It is my expectation that you will engage constructively and thoughtfully and add priorities to the Government’s agenda when appropriate. Where legislation is required, you will need to work with the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and the Cabinet Committee on Operations to prioritize within the minority Parliament. We will continue to deliver real results and effective government to Canadians. This includes: tracking and publicly reporting on the progress of our commitments; assessing the effectiveness of our work; aligning our resources with priorities; and adapting to events as they unfold, in order to get the results Canadians rightly demand of us. Many of our most important commitments require partnership with provincial, territorial and municipal governments and Indigenous partners, communities and governments. Even where disagreements may occur, we will remember that our mandate comes from citizens who are served by all orders of government and it is in everyone’s interest that we work together to find common ground. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs is the Government-wide lead on all relations with the provinces and territories.

Page 18 of 65 There remains no more important relationship to me and to Canada than the one with Indigenous Peoples. We made significant progress in our last mandate on supporting self-determination, improving service delivery and advancing reconciliation. I am directing every single Minister to determine what they can do in their specific portfolio to accelerate and build on the progress we have made with First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples. I also expect us to continue to raise the bar on openness, effectiveness and transparency in government. This means a government that is open by default. It means better digital capacity and services for Canadians. It means a strong and resilient public service. It also means humility and continuing to acknowledge mistakes when we make them. Canadians do not expect us to be perfect; they expect us to be diligent, honest, open and sincere in our efforts to serve the public interest. As Minister, you are accountable for your style of leadership and your ability to work constructively in Parliament. I expect that you will collaborate closely with your Cabinet and Caucus colleagues. You will also meaningfully engage with the Government Caucus and Opposition Members of Parliament, the increasingly non-partisan Senate, and Parliamentary Committees. It is also your responsibility to substantively engage with Canadians, civil society and stakeholders, including businesses of all sizes, organized labour, the broader public sector and the not-for-profit and charitable sectors. You must be proactive in ensuring that a broad array of voices provides you with advice, in both official languages, from every region of the country. We are committed to evidence-based decision-making that takes into consideration the impacts of policies on all Canadians and fully defends the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. You will apply Gender-based Analysis Plus (GBA+) in the decisions that you make. Canada’s media and your engagement with them in a professional and timely manner are essential. The Parliamentary Press Gallery, indeed all journalists in Canada and abroad, ask necessary questions and contribute in an important way to the democratic process. You will do your part to continue our Government’s commitment to transparent, merit-based appointments, to help ensure that people of all gender identities, Indigenous Peoples, racialized people, persons with disabilities and minority groups are reflected in positions of leadership. As Minister of Environment and Climate Change, you will lead in implementing the whole-of- government plan for climate action, a cleaner environment and a sustainable economy. This includes exceeding current 2030 targets and developing a plan to achieve a net-zero emissions economy by 2050. I will expect you to work with your colleagues and through established legislative, regulatory and Cabinet processes to deliver on your top priorities. In particular, you will:

 Implement the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change, while strengthening existing and introducing new greenhouse gas reducing measures to exceed Canada’s 2030 emissions reduction goal and beginning work so that Canada can achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

 Lead government-wide efforts to develop a plan to set Canada on a path to achieve a prosperous net-zero emissions future by 2050. This includes:

Page 19 of 65 o Setting legally-binding, five-year emissions-reduction milestones based on the advice of experts and consultations with Canadians; and

o Working with the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry and the Minister of Natural Resources to position Canada as a global leader in clean technology.

 Work with the Minister of Natural Resources and provinces and territories to complete all flood maps in Canada.

 Support the Minister of Natural Resources to operationalize the plan to plant two billion incremental trees over the next 10 years, as part of a broader commitment to nature-based climate solutions that also encompasses wetlands and urban forests.

 Work with the Minister of Natural Resources to help cities expand and diversify their urban forests. You will both also invest in protecting trees from infestations and, when ecologically appropriate, help rebuild our forests after a wildfire.

 Expand the Learn-to-Camp program to meet the target that 400,000 kids each year learn basic camping skills.

 Provide a bursary for children and their families who live in poverty or underprivileged circumstances that create significant barriers to visiting national or provincial parks.

 Advance Parks Canada’s efforts to play a leadership role in natural and cultural heritage conservation and promotion, and work to ensure that Canada’s national parks and national historic sites are a source of national pride and enjoyment today and for future generations.

 Work with the Minister of Canadian Heritage to provide clearer direction on how national heritage places should be designated and preserved, and to develop comprehensive legislation on federally owned heritage places.

 Work with the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard to introduce a new ambitious plan to conserve 25 per cent of Canada’s land and 25 per cent of Canada’s oceans by 2025, working toward 30 per cent of each by 2030. This plan should be grounded in science, Indigenous knowledge and local perspectives. Advocate at international gatherings that countries around the world set a 30 per cent conservation goal for 2030 as well.

 Implement our plan to ban harmful single-use plastic products and take steps toward eliminating plastic pollution in Canada. This includes working with provinces and territories to develop national targets, standards and regulations that will make companies that manufacture plastic products or sell items with plastic packaging responsible for collecting and recycling them.

 Work with the Minister of Health to better protect people and the environment from toxins and other pollution, including by strengthening the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999.

 With the support of the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, create a new Canada Water Agency to work together with the provinces, territories, Indigenous communities,

Page 20 of 65 local authorities, scientists and others to find the best ways to keep our water safe, clean and well-managed.

 Develop further protections and take active steps to clean up the Great Lakes, Lake Winnipeg, Lake Simcoe and other large lakes.

 Continue to work to protect biodiversity and species at risk, while engaging with provinces, territories, Indigenous communities, scientists, industry and other stakeholders to evaluate the effectiveness of the existing Species at Risk Act and assess the need for modernization.

 Support the Minister of Transport and the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard in implementing the Oceans Protection Plan.

 Work with the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, the Minister of Transport and the Minister of Natural Resources to advance toward our zero-emission vehicles targets of 10 per cent of light-duty vehicles sales per year by 2025, 30 per cent by 2030 and 100 per cent by 2040. These priorities draw heavily from our election platform commitments. As mentioned, you are encouraged to seek opportunities to work across Parliament in the fulfillment of these commitments and to identify additional priorities. I expect you to work closely with your Deputy Minister and their senior officials to ensure that the ongoing work of your department is undertaken in a professional manner and that decisions are made in the public interest. Your Deputy Minister will brief you on the many daily decisions necessary to ensure the achievement of your priorities, the effective running of the government and better services for Canadians. It is my expectation that you will apply our values and principles to these decisions so that they are dealt with in a timely and responsible manner and in a way that is consistent with the overall direction of our Government. Our ability, as a government, to implement our priorities depends on consideration of the professional, non-partisan advice of public servants. Each and every time a government employee comes to work, they do so in service to Canada, with a goal of improving our country and the lives of all Canadians. I expect you to establish a collaborative working relationship with your Deputy Minister, whose role, and the role of public servants under their direction, is to support you in the performance of your responsibilities. We have committed to an open, honest government that is accountable to Canadians, lives up to the highest ethical standards and applies the utmost care and prudence in the handling of public funds. I expect you to embody these values in your work and observe the highest ethical standards in everything you do. I want Canadians to look on their own government with pride and trust. As Minister, you must ensure that you are aware of and fully compliant with the Conflict of Interest Act and Treasury Board policies and guidelines. You will be provided with a copy of Open and Accountable Government to assist you as you undertake your responsibilities. I ask that you carefully read it, including elements that have been added to strengthen it, and ensure that your staff does so as well. I expect that in staffing your offices you will hire people who reflect the diversity of Canada, and that you will uphold principles of gender equality, disability equality, pay equity and inclusion.

Page 21 of 65 Give particular attention to the Ethical Guidelines set out in Annex A of that document, which apply to you and your staff. As noted in the Guidelines, you must uphold the highest standards of honesty and impartiality, and both the performance of your official duties and the arrangement of your private affairs should bear the closest public scrutiny. This is an obligation that is not fully discharged by simply acting within the law. I will note that you are responsible for ensuring that your Minister’s Office meets the highest standards of professionalism and that it is a safe, respectful, rewarding and welcoming place for your staff to work. I know I can count on you to fulfill the important responsibilities entrusted in you. It is incumbent on you to turn to me and the Deputy Prime Minister early and often to support you in your role as Minister. Sincerely,

Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, P.C., M.P. Prime Minister of Canada

You will do your part to continue our Government’s commitment to transparent, merit-based appointments, to help ensure that people of all gender identities, Indigenous Peoples, racialized people, persons with disabilities and minority groups are reflected in positions of leadership. As Minister of Natural Resources, you will work to ensure that our energy and natural resource sectors remain a source of good middle class jobs, prosperity and opportunity across the country. This includes supporting resource communities and workers as they shift into cleaner technologies and Canada meets its climate action objectives, while also supporting and promoting the competitiveness of our Canadian companies in order to attract investment, open international markets and get resources to markets. I will expect you to work with your colleagues and through established legislative, regulatory and Cabinet processes to deliver on your top priorities. In particular, you will:

 Identify opportunities to support workers and businesses in the natural resource sectors that are seeking to export their goods to global markets. This includes working to construct and complete the twinning of the Trans Mountain Pipeline. This work is anchored in a commitment to protect and create jobs, create economic opportunities for Indigenous communities and use revenues to finance Canada’s clean energy transition.

 Building on the work completed in the Government’s first term, work with partners to implement, as appropriate, the recommendations of the Generation Energy Council

Page 24 of 65 Report, including wasting less energy, switching to clean power, using more renewable fuels, and producing cleaner oil and gas, including in the offshore. Work with partners to implement the Canadian Minerals and Metals Plan and to develop strategies to help strengthen the competitiveness and overall health of Canada’s forest sector.

 Work with the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry and the Minister of Environment and Climate Change to position Canada as a global leader in clean technology, including in critical minerals.

 With support from the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, operationalize the plan to plant two billion incremental trees over the next 10 years as part of a broader commitment to natural climate solutions.

 Working with the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, help cities expand and diversify their urban forests. You will both also invest in protecting trees from infestations and, when ecologically appropriate, help rebuild our forests after a wildfire.

 Support research and provide funding so that municipalities have access to domestic sources of climate-resilient and genetically diverse trees that will increase the resilience of our urban forests.

 Work with the Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion and the Minister of Labour and partners to advance legislation to support the future and livelihood of workers and their communities in the transition to a low-carbon global economy.

 Work with the Minister of Families, Children and Social Development who is the Minister responsible for the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation to operationalize a plan to help Canadians make their homes more energy efficient and climate resilient. This will include providing free energy audits to homeowners and landlords, up to $40,000 in interest-free lending for retrofits that will save Canadians money on their energy use, a cash incentive for borrowers to maximize their energy savings, and creating a Net Zero Homes Grant of up to $5,000 for newly built homes that are certified net zero- emissions.

 Make Energy Star certification mandatory for all new home appliances starting in 2022.

 Launch a national competition to create four long-term funds to help attract private capital that can be used for deep retrofits of large buildings such as office towers.

 Install up to 5,000 additional charging stations along the Trans-Canada Highway and other major road networks and in Canada’s urban and rural areas.

 Work with the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities in partnering with provinces, territories, and Indigenous Peoples to advance the electrification of Canadian industries through new, zero-carbon clean electricity generation and transmission systems and grid modernization, making Canada home to the cleanest mills, mines and factories in the world.

Page 25 of 65  Work with the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities and the Minister of Indigenous Services to support the transition of Indigenous communities from reliance on diesel-fueled power to clean, renewable and reliable energy by 2030.

 Ensure the efficient and effective implementation of the Canadian Energy Regulator Act.

 Work with the Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations and the Minister of Finance to develop a new national benefits-sharing framework for major resource projects on Indigenous territory.

 Work with the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness and with the provinces and territories and Indigenous Peoples to complete all flood maps in Canada.

 Support the Minister of Northern Affairs to monitor and identify any additional assistance the Polar Continental Shelf Program may require to respond to growing demand. These priorities draw heavily from our election platform commitments. As mentioned, you are encouraged to seek opportunities to work across Parliament in the fulfillment of these commitments and to identify additional priorities. I expect you to work closely with your Deputy Minister and their senior officials to ensure that the ongoing work of your department is undertaken in a professional manner and that decisions are made in the public interest.

REPORT SUMMARY  Water levels throughout the watershed and in Lake Erie are currently higher than normal and are fluctuating with storm events.  Lake Erie Shoreline Watershed Conditions Statement—Flood Outlook updated on January 2, 2020.  KCCA issued Watershed Conditions Statement—Flood Outlook media releases on January 9, 2020 that was upgraded to a Flood Watch on January 11, 2020 for potential nuisance flooding throughout the watershed and storm surge conditions in Port Stanley.

BACKGROUND

Due to ongoing high water levels in Lake Erie, KCCA maintained the Lake Erie Shoreline Watershed Conditions Statement—Flood Outlook for the month of December and was updated on January 2, 2020. Water levels in Lake Erie remain higher than normal, which can contribute to an increased risk for flooding and erosion along the Lake Erie shoreline due to storm surge.

The recent rain event across the Great Lakes region contributed to an increase in the static (calm) water level in Lake Erie. As of January 12, 2020, Lake Erie’s static water level daily mean was 174.79m. This water level is 79cm above average and 12cm higher than this time last year. Water level data also indicates that the mean has increased by 9cm compared to the previous week. This level does not account for any increase in water levels due to storm surge or wind driven waves.

A massive low pressure system that hammered Southern Ontario on January 11-12, 2020 brought a month’s worth of rain over two days to many parts of the watershed. Rainfall totals ranged from 51mm in the Dodd Creek subwatershed, to 64mm in Port Stanley and 76mm in the Upper Kettle Creek subwatershed. The KCCA watershed historically receives 75 mm of rain in January.

In advance of the storm, on January 9, 2020, KCCA staff issued a Watershed Conditions Statement—Flood Outlook to warn residents of the potential for a high water event over the weekend. There was a lot of uncertainty associated with this large storm, as the amount and intensity of the potential rainfall depended on how the storm moved through the Province. This flood message was upgraded to a Flood Watch on January 11, 2020 due to the forecasted rain for the area.

Ground conditions were typically frozen with very little snow cover which contributed to a higher degree of surface runoff into local creeks and tributaries. The main branches of Dodd Creek and Kettle Creek, as well as their tributaries experienced typical nuisance flooding in low lying areas and flood plains. Water levels quickly receded and returned to normal seasonal levels when the rain moved out of the area. There was no concern for an ice jam in Port Stanley as the harbour was open water and almost 0% ice cover in Lake Erie.

KCCA staff in partnership with the Municipality of Central Elgin and Southwestern Public Health are hosting a Public Information Session on Preparing for Flooding. Residents of Port Stanley are invited to attend the information session that will be hosted at the Port Stanley Arena on January 29, 2020.

The Honourable Steve Clark Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing 17th Floor, College Park 777 Bay Street Toronto, ON, M5G 2E5

Dear Minister Clark,

Conservation Ontario is the network of Ontario’s 36 Conservation Authorities (CAs). On October 21, 2019, Conservation Ontario submitted the attached comments to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing on the “Provincial Policy Statement Review – Proposed Policies” (ERO #019-0279). At the time of this consultation, it was understood that the policies related to natural hazards found in Section 3.0 were subject to ongoing review by the Province’s Special Advisor on Flooding, and as such, no changes were proposed to this section by the Province. In the absence of proposed changes, Conservation Ontario’s comments requested that the Province retain the critical policies found within 3.1, Natural Hazards, of the Provincial Policy Statement. As well, in the attached letter we did provide our submission to the Flood Advisor with regard to the PPS and recommended changes.

With the release of the Province’s Special Advisor on Flooding’s “Independent Review of the 2019 Flood Events in Ontario”, Conservation Ontario requests that the Province consult directly with CAs prior to enacting any changes to Section 3.0 of the PPS, Protecting Public Health and Safety. Should no public consultation be taking place and given our members’ delegated role to represent provincial interests in the Provincial One Window, Conservation Ontario would appreciate the opportunity to meet with the Province directly to discuss our members’ concerns prior to finalization.

As Chair of Conservation Ontario, I look forward to working with you and hope to meet with you soon on this file and to provide you with an update on our Client Service and Streamlining Initiative. Should there be any questions or the need for additional information, please contact Kim Gavine at ext. 231 or [email protected].

Sincerely,

Wayne Emmerson Chair, Conservation Ontario c.c. All CA General Managers / Chief Administrative Officers

Provincial Planning Policy Branch 777 Bay Street, 13th Flood Toronto, Ontario M5G 2E5

Re: Conservation Ontario’s Comments on the Provincial Policy Statement Review – Proposed Policies (ERO # 019-0279)

Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the “Provincial Policy Statement Review (PPS) - Proposed Policies” and for the invitation to participate in the September 12th PPS Review Multi- Stakeholder Meeting. Conservation Ontario is the network of Ontario’s 36 conservation authorities (CAs). These comments are not intended to limit consideration of comments shared individually by CAs through the PPS consultation process.

Conservation authorities are involved in the land use planning process in the following ways: as a regulator under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act; as a public body under the Planning Act and Environmental Assessment Act; as source protection authorities under the Clean Water Act supporting policy implementation; as resource management agencies operating on a local watershed basis; as a body with delegated authority in plan review to represent the provincial interest for natural hazards; and as the province’s second largest landowners who may become involved in the planning and development process, either as an adjacent landowner or a proponent. In these roles, CAs endeavour to provide the best technical guidance to their municipal partners regarding how to balance multiple provincial and watershed priorities in a timely and cost-effective manner.

It is understood that the government is consulting on proposed changes to the PPS to support its Housing Supply Action Plan and other land use planning related priorities. Conservation Ontario offers the following responses with regard to the consultation questions posed, as well as a detailed attachment regarding the consultation.

Consultation Questions 1) Do the proposed policies effectively support goals related to increasing housing supply, creating and maintaining jobs, and red tape reduction while continuing to protect the environment, farmland, and public health and safety?

Conservation Ontario feels that it is premature to determine whether or not the proposed policies effectively support goals related to increasing housing supply. Once changes have been made, it is recommended that the Province develop metrics to evaluate whether or not the policy changes have met their intent.

Page 33 of 65 Conservation Ontario is concerned that some proposals are not sufficiently detailed to evaluate their ability to protect the environment, farmland, and public health and safety. These proposals include:  Lack of clarity with regard to proposed changes to Section 3.0 (Protecting Public Health and Safety); particularly Section 3.1.  The proposed 4.7 which indicates that “Planning authorities shall take action to support increased housing supply and facilitate a timely and streamlined process for local development by: a) identifying and fast-tracking priority applications which support housing and job-related growth and development; and b) reducing the time needed to process residential and priority applications to the extent practical”.  The proposed 2.1.10 which indicates that “Municipalities may choose to manage wetlands not subject to policy 2.1.4 and 2.1.5, in accordance with guidelines developed by the Province”.

It is understood that the policies related to natural hazards found in Section 3.0 are subject to ongoing review by the Province’s Special Advisor on flooding. Conservation Ontario is appreciative for the opportunity provided by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) to meet with the Province’s Special Advisor on Flooding, to provide additional supplemental material and to have the Special Advisor undertake watershed visits hosted by five different conservation authorities. The additional detail provided to the Flood Advisor is attached to this letter. Please note that Conservation Ontario is not supportive of the Province making changes to S. 3.1 of the PPS without direct consultation with the conservation authorities in advance. Generally, it is recommended that the Province retain the critical policies found within 3.1 of the PPS, with minor amendments proposed, to increase clarity. Additional details on the proposed amendments can be found within the attached Table of Specific Comments on the Proposed Provincial Policy Statement Review.

Conservation Ontario is concerned that the proposed 4.7 may not adequately protect public health and safety. It is recommended that this policy be amended to read that “Planning authorities shall take action to support increased housing supply and facilitate a timely and streamlined process for local development in accordance with the policies of Section 2.2: Water and Section 3: Protecting Public Health and Safety by..”. Alternatively, should this proposed policy be retained, it is recommended that guidance material be developed, which would assist with determining which applications would be considered a priority. This guidance material should require that any of these priority applications must be located in areas outside of natural hazards and outside of drinking water vulnerable areas while ensuring the protection of drinking water.

Finally, policy 2.1.10 indicates that municipalities may choose to manage wetlands in accordance with guidelines developed by the Province. In general, the PPS should provide the policy, whereas the guidance should provide the implementation detail. In other words, the PPS should clearly articulate the Province’s goals with the management of these wetlands. This Provincial guidance should recognize that the majority of wetlands in Ontario have not been evaluated and therefore a precautionary approach to their “management” should be undertaken. Wetlands (regardless of whether or not they are Provincially significant) play a critical role in flood attenuation, and contribute to climate change resiliency and mitigation. It is recommended that the term “manage” be replaced with “maintain, restore or, where possible, improve” to be consistent with other policies in this section.

2) Do the proposed policies strike the right balance? Why or why not?

It is noted that a variety of policies have been moved from Section 4.0 (Implementation and Interpretation) into the Preamble or Part II (How to Read the PPS). Based on discussions with Ministry

Page 34 of 65 staff, it is our understanding that these policies still apply, as the Planning Act requires that an exercise that affects a planning matter shall be consistent with the policy statements. Never-the-less, there are concerns that the removal of these policies from Section 4 will lead to unnecessary appeals to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal which will decrease the timeliness of approvals. To prevent frivolous appeals, the Province should provide clarity in this regard.

Furthermore, there are many instances where the Province is proposing to change the word from “shall” to “should”; making the policy more permissive. Such changes, especially in high growth areas such as the Greater Golden Horseshoe region, may impede municipalities’ ability to manage growth and development in a manner that protects farmland, the environment, and public health and safety.

As the policies found within Section 3.0 are currently subject to review, it is unclear whether the policies strike the right balance. As discussed, conservation authorities should be consulted with prior to enacting any changes to Section 3.1.

Finally, conservation authorities feel that the proposed S. 2.5.2.2 “…Outside of the Greenbelt Area, extraction may be considered in the natural heritage features listed in section 2.1.5 [significant wetlands, woodlands, valleylands, wildlife habitat, areas of natural and scientific interest, and coastal wetlands], 2.1.6 [fish habitat] and 2.1.7 [habitat of endangered and threatened species], provided that the long-term rehabilitation can demonstrate no negative impacts on the natural features or their ecological functions” does not strike the appropriate balance. It is noted that many of these features play an important role in flood and erosion control, including wetlands, coastal wetlands and valleylands; and the protection of drinking water, including fish habitat. The policy itself does not provide clarity regarding the timeframe for long-term rehabilitation. There are well-known challenges associated with rehabilitation, including cost and long-term efficacy and in some cases rehabilitation of some natural heritage features is not possible. Generally, the purpose of rehabilitation plans is to identify how negatively impacted features will be restored, not to demonstrate “no negative impacts”. It is recommended that this proposed policy change be removed. Conservation Ontario notes that, through the current consultation on proposed amendments to the Aggregate Resources Act (ERO#019- 0556), MNRF is considering enhancing reporting requirements on rehabilitation by requiring more context and detail on where, when and how rehabilitation is or has been undertaken. While additional detail on this proposed amendment is required, Conservation Ontario is supportive of creating more stringent reporting metrics for rehabilitation projects.

3) How do these policies take into consideration the view of Ontario communities?

Conservation Ontario recommends that the Province continue to consult with communities to get feedback regarding these policy proposals. In general, it is in the interest of Ontario communities to direct development, redevelopment and intensification outside of areas subject to natural hazards, particularly in light of the significant flooding that Ontarians have recently experienced; and outside of drinking water vulnerable areas while ensuring that sources of drinking water are protected. For this reason, the policies found within Section 2.2 and 3.1 should be maintained and/or strengthened where appropriate.

4) Are there any other policies changes that are needed to support key priorities for housing, job creation, and streamlining of development approvals?

Page 35 of 65

The current preamble in Section 3.0 is designed to address new development whereas many of the risks associated with the management of natural hazards are a result of historic development. Conservation Ontario suggests the following edits to the preamble to address existing development.

Development, redevelopment and intensification shall be directed away from areas of natural or human-made hazards where there is an unacceptable risk to public health or safety or of property damage, and not create new or aggravate existing hazards.

The PPS and Ontario’s planning system should also broaden the use of Special Policy Areas (SPAs) to address existing development in high risk areas, including areas subject to erosion (e.g. along Great Lakes shorelines).

5) Are there other tools that are needed to help implement the proposed policies?

Conservation Ontario is very appreciative of this question, as it has been our experience that some of the policies found within the PPS are not successfully enacted due to a lack of implementation support material. A table outlining requests for guidance materials is included below. Generally, it is recommended that the Province create a “master list” of all current guidelines which support the implementation of the PPS to ensure that all parties are working with the same and most up-to-date guidance documents.

Guidance Material Conservation Ontario’s Comments Procedures for Approval of New Special Policy The 2009 document should be updated based Areas (SPAs) and Modifications to Existing SPAs on lessons learned, to reflect the current PPS Under the Provincial Policy Statement, 2005 and to incorporate new direction from updated (PPS, 2005) Technical Guides. Consideration should be given Policy 3.1.3 – Natural Hazards- Special Policy to expanding the use of SPAs to include other Area, dated January 2009 hazards, such as erosion hazards.

SPAs may be an important tool in addressing spill areas within areas of existing development. Technical Guides for Implementation of section The current Technical Guides were created to 3.1 of the PPS support the implementation of the PPS. - River & Stream Systems: Erosion Hazard Limit Conservation authorities use the Technical - River & Stream System; Flooding Hazard Limit Guides in support of the regulations program - Great Lakes – St. Lawrence River under S. 28 due to a lack of technical guidance issued by the Province for that purpose. Some planning approaches and the delineation of hazards differ between the Technical Guides and the S. 28 regulation. It is recommended that these differences should be reconciled to avoid conflicts and to increase public safety. In addition, the following updates are recommended:  incorporate Provincial direction on considering climate change in natural

Page 36 of 65 Guidance Material Conservation Ontario’s Comments hazard programs  update safe access requirements to appropriately address the ability of first responders to attend sites and the outcomes of the Gilmor v. Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority case  incorporate new modeling approaches, including 2D  provide direction on the consideration of spill areas and storm water as a flooding hazard

Conservation Ontario is prepared to assist with all aspects of the updates. New – Guidelines to help planning authorities Conservation Ontario would strongly support prepare for the impacts of a changing climate additional guidance material provided by the Province to assist planning authorities with climate change adaptation. Natural Heritage Reference Manual It is recommended that this manual be updated with a particular focus on wetland protection, restoration and enhancement, especially for non-PSWs and coastal wetlands. This update should include direction on how to apply the mitigation hierarchy. Watershed Planning The “trilogy” of watershed planning documents that were released by the Province in 1993 provided a good foundation for the process of watershed planning. It is recommended that this guidance could be complemented by providing broad guidance on the range of topics that could be considered when undertaking watershed plans (including the current suite of provincial policies). This would facilitate more streamlined updates to sub/watershed plans.

Additionally, in order to facilitate faster development approvals, it is important to know where development can occur safely. A 2015 study undertaken by Conservation Ontario and funded by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry estimated that 72% of conservation authority floodplain mapping projects were out of date at that time. It is estimated that 44% of the projects are in high risk areas. Some progress has been made since that time through various partnerships with municipalities and utilizing the National Disaster Mitigation Program (NDMP). With the help of government matching funds, conservation authorities were able to do 57 floodplain projects. But not all municipalities have the resources to provide matching dollars. There is a role for the Province to fund floodplain mapping projects which contribute to the protection of people and property and which also facilitate faster development approvals.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide input into the “Provincial Policy Statement Review – Proposed Policies”. Conservation Ontario looks forward to continuing to be engaged as the Province looks to streamline the planning system and proposes changes as a result of the review of the Special Advisor on Flooding. Should you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact me at extension 226.

Sincerely,

Leslie Rich, RPP Policy and Planning Liaison

September 18, 2019

Dear Mr. McNeil,

Thank you for meeting with Conservation Ontario’s Chair Wayne Emmerson and I to discuss the critical flood management role of conservation authorities (CAs) in Ontario. Additional information was provided to you on floodplain mapping and modelling in a letter dated August 9, 2019. This letter is being provided in follow-up to our meeting on August 1, 2019 where you encouraged us to provide advice with regard to policy/regulatory improvements to the flood management system in Ontario.

This letter highlights some suggestions that we have for legislative and public policy initiatives that are currently underway in Ontario which include: i) regulations to enable new Sections of the Conservation Authorities Act which received Royal Assent in June 2019; ii) the Provincial Policy Statement Review, and iii) review of the Section 28 Regulations under the Conservation Authorities Act.

The following policy/regulatory improvements would maintain and improve the flood management system in Ontario:

i) Supporting the creation of a robust natural hazard (management) mandatory programs and services regulation under the Conservation Authorities Act that recognizes the value of the comprehensive approach to watershed management to reduce risks associated with floods (see Attachment 1).

ii) Retaining critical policies of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS), clarifying some of those policies, and amending policies in section 3.1 of the PPS. The improvements to the policies and updates to the technical guides supporting these policies suggested in Attachment 2 will ensure more consistency in interpretation and implementation across CAs and municipalities.

iii) Updating, as necessary, the flooding hazards found within the PPS and the Flood Event Standards found within the existing Section 28 regulations made under the Conservation Authorities Act based on the best available science and including a factor of safety for extreme weather (see Attachment 3).

Specific Comments

Sections Conservation Ontario Comments Part I: Preamble - Conservation Ontario is concerned that the shift of the policies from the Implementation section into the preamble may reduce the weight and value of these policies. It is recommended that the Province provide guidance regarding how this shift to the preamble will be interpreted by users of the PPS. - 5th paragraph: A reference is made to “Official Plans shall provide clear, reasonable and attainable policies…”. It is unclear what constitutes reasonable and attainable or what this means in a policy context. Part IV: Vision for Ontario’s Land Use Planning - It is recommended that the direction to planning authorities to “permit and facilitate a range of System housing options” should be qualified such that these new housing options would be directed outside of areas subject to natural hazards. - CO recommends that the sentence proposed to be added to this paragraph be revised to also include a reference to mitigation. Suggested wording is noted below. “They also permit better adaptation and mitigation to the impacts of a changing climate, which will vary from region to region.” 1.0 Building Strong Healthy Communities 1.1 Managing and Directing Land Use to Achieve - Conservation Ontario is supportive of the direction to prepare for the regional and local impacts of a Efficient and Resilient Development and Land changing climate. Use Patterns - While it is recognized that the PPS should be read in its entirety, given the public safety component of directing intensification and redevelopment outside of areas subject to natural hazards, it is recommended that the cross references to S. 3 remain in policy 1.1.3.3. - It is recommended that a review of natural hazards be considered and included in the policy requirements for settlement boundary expansions/adjustments in policy 1.1.3.8 and 1.1.3.9. 1.2 Coordination - Conservation Ontario appreciates the clear direction from policy 1.2.2 which directs planning authorities to engage with Indigenous communities and coordinate on land use planning matters. It is

Page 41 of 65 recommended that Provincial guidelines be developed to provide support and guidance in this regard. 1.6.6. Sewage, Water and Stormwater - the term “feasible” used in regard to municipal and communal services (see 1.6.6.1, 1.6.6.3 & 1.6.6.4)requires clarification. The Province should clearly outline the criteria for feasibility while ensuring that drinking water sources are protected - 1.6.6.4 (2nd paragraph): This policy uses the term “should” which implies that this is discretionary. This policy has an impact on public health and safety and therefore should be required. - Conservation Ontario commends the Province for recognizing the important role that stormwater management plays in managing urban flooding resulting from climate change. However, 1.6.6.7d) should be revised. Stormwater management should not increase risks to public health and safety. Use of the word “mitigate” implies that risks should merely be lessened. In addition, to maintain consistency within the policy statement, “human health and safety” should be replaced with “public health and safety” (see below)

d) not increase risks to public health and safety, property and the environment

2.0 Wise Use and Management of Resources 2.1 Natural Heritage - See comments in letter. 2.2 Water - Conservation Ontario is very supportive of the requirement that Planning Authorities use the watershed level to evaluate and prepare for the impacts of a changing climate to water resource systems and note that CAs are a natural partner in this exercise due to their watershed expertise. An update to the current (1993) Watershed Planning Trilogy (as noted in our covering letter) would assist. - 2.2.1d) mentions “the identification of water resource systems consisting of…surface water features including shoreline area…” This section should also emphasize the identification of headwater drainage features. It has been suggested that 90% of a river’s flow may be derived from catchment headwaters (Kirby, 1978), indicating that hydrological dynamics are a key component to surface water contributions. In addition to the contribution of surface water, they also act as detention areas during high flow events.

- It is noted that 2.2.1 f) 1. and 2 would benefit from a clarification regarding its relationship to the Clean Water Act, particularly about the relationship between the Clean Water Act and municipal sources of drinking water. This could be achieved through further refinement of the definition of designated vulnerable area (see comments in S. 6).

Page 42 of 65 2.3 Agriculture - It is recommended that the criteria for lot creation in prime agricultural areas found within 2.3.4.1 be expanded to allow for lots created for conservation purposes 2.5 Mineral Aggregate Resources - See comments in letter. 3.0 Protecting Public Health and Safety - See comments in letter. - The current preamble is designed to address new development whereas many of the risks associated with the management of natural hazards are a result of historic development. Conservation Ontario suggests the edits to the preamble (in bold) to address existing development.

Development, redevelopment and intensification shall be directed away from areas of natural or human- made hazards where there is an unacceptable risk to public health or safety or of property damage, and not create new or aggravate existing hazards.

- The term “unacceptable risk to public health or safety” requires further direction in an update to the Provincial Technical Guides. As a result of the Court of Appeal decision in Gilmor V. Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority many municipalities and CAs have been hesitant to issue approvals for development in areas where safe access has not been established. In southwestern Ontario, this renders large portions of the watersheds undevelopable. The Province is urged to update the Technical Guides with greater clarity around safe access requirements.

- Given that the Province is proposing to strengthen the wording with regard to a changing climate (see 3.1.3) it is recommended that consideration of climate change be mentioned in the preamble to this section as well. 3.1 Natural Hazards - 3.1.2 As previously described, the term “rendered inaccessible” should be addressed in updated technical guidance. It is recommended that this section explicitly include, “plus an allowance for wave uprush and other water-related hazards” in b for clarity purposes. It is acknowledged that it is currently included in the definition of “flooding hazard”. - 3.1.3 Conservation Ontario is supportive of the proposed amendment as it strengthens the requirement. Provincial guidance on how to prepare is required. - 3.1.4 a Conservation authority staff have experienced difficulty in getting the Province to engage in discussions regarding new or updates to existing SPAs, making it difficult to address existing development located in the hazard. At the same time there is increasing pressure to increase density in downtown cores, especially with regard to major transit station areas. The SPA guidelines were created 10 year ago and require update based on lessons learned and ideally to reflect updated natural hazard

Page 43 of 65 technical guides. - 3.1.4 b It is recommended that the term “minor additions” either be deleted or that clarification about what constitutes a minor addition be provided. Minor additions do not seem to fit with the rest of this paragraph as the presumption is that it is referring to habitable uses, whereas the rest are uses that must by their nature locate within a floodway. Should the Province decide to provide a definition of minor additions, it is recommended that there be a cap on the increase in the size of the addition. - 3.1.5 It is recommended that this section also speak to redevelopment and intensification (see bolded text) as these are particularly sensitive land uses. Development, redevelopment and intensification shall not be permitted to locate in hazardous lands and hazardous sites …. - 3.1.6 It is recommended that the Province provide guidance on how to address spills in the Technical guides, particularly with the widespread use of 2-D modelling. Spills have the capacity to represent a significant hazard in some areas. - 3.1.7 This subsection is overly complex with its cross-references to other sections. It is recommended that this section should be simplified to provide clarity. - 3.1.8 When updating the MOU between the Province and Conservation Ontario on plan review (or through regulation), it should be clarified that CAs have not been delegated responsibility for representing the Provincial interest for this part of S. 3.1 of the PPS. 3.2 Human-Made Hazards - It is recommended that the proposed 3.2.3 be amended, as follows (in bold): “Planning authorities should support, where feasible, on-site and local re-use of excess soil through planning and development approvals while protecting human health and the environment in accordance with provincial guidelines” to be consistent with other policies found within the PPS. 4.0 Implementation and Interpretation - See comments in letter.

6.0 Definitions - Impacts of a changing climate – the word “opportunities” is included in this definition but there is no use of this term in the actual document. This term does not fit with how “impacts of a changing climate” is used in the PPS policies and including it in the definition creates confusion. - Require definition for minor additions which includes a cap on the increase in the size of the addition. - Require definition for market-based and market-demand. This definition should focus on the communities that we want to see in the future (access to transit, outside of hazardous areas, appropriate density, etc) rather than be based on past market experience - Flooding Hazard - Conservation Ontario Council has previously endorsed a request to the Province to undertake a review of the current flood event standards and update them based on the best available science, including observed flooding and provisions to consider climate change. As an interim

Page 44 of 65 approach, it is recommended that the definition of flooding hazard be amended as follows: means the inundation, under the conditions specified below, of areas adjacent to a shoreline or a river or stream system and not ordinarily covered by water: a. along the shorelines of the Great Lakes - St. Lawrence River System and large inland lakes, the flooding hazard limit is based on the one hundred year flood level plus an allowance for wave uprush and other water-related hazards; b. along river, stream and small inland lake systems, the flooding hazard limit is the greater of: 1. the flood resulting from the rainfall actually experienced during a major storm such as the Hurricane Hazel storm (1954) or the Timmins storm (1961), transposed over a specific watershed and combined with the local conditions where evidence suggests that the storm event could have potentially occurred over watersheds in the general area; 2. the one hundred year flood; and 3. a flood which is greater than 1. or 2. which was actually experienced in a particular watershed or portion thereof as a result of ice jams and which has been approved as the standard for that specific area by the Minister of Natural Resources; except where the use of the one hundred year flood or the actually experienced event has been approved by the Minister of Natural Resources as the standard for a specific watershed (where the past history of flooding supports the lowering of the standard)”.

- Erosion hazard Conservation Ontario supports the review of the erosion hazard standards based on the best available science and including a factor of safety for climate change, particularly along the Great Lakes shorelines. The definition of the erosion hazard should be amended to reflect that review (e.g. not be based on historic erosion rates that may not adequately predict future erosion). - Designated vulnerable area should be elaborated upon to indicate the relationship to the Clean Water Act.

The Honourable Doug Ford Premier of Ontario Legislative Building Queen's Park, Toronto, ON M7A 141 RE: Resolution - Gonservation Authorities

Dear Premier Ford:

This letter will serve to advise that at a meeting of City of Quinte West Council held on January 13, 2020 Council passed the following resolution:

Moved by Cassidy Seconded by Alyea

Whereas the City of Quinte West has been well served by both the Lower Trent Conservation Authority and the Quinte Conservation Authority and

Whereas we have working service agreements with both Authorities and

Whereas we value the efforts of the Conservation Authorities to monitor floods, to manage source water protection and to ensure the integrity of the watersheds within our municipality and conserve our natural environment and

Whereas the current Provincial government is reviewing the mandate and potential funding to Conservation Authorities

Be it resolved that the City of Quinte West requests that the Provincial Government improve their funding of Conservation Authorities to provide a more stable funding base that would prevent any downloading of costs to municipalities

And further that the Provincial Government will maintain and not dímínísh the core mandate of Conservation Authorities

And further that we forward this motion to the Minister of Environment, Conservation and Parks, the Minister of Natural Resources, the Premier, the Leaders of all opposition parties, all of our local municipal partners, and AMO to seek their support and concurrence. Garried

Page 47 of 65 We trust that you will give favourable consideration to this request.

Sincerely,

CITY OF QUINTE WEST

?

Jim Harrison Mayor

Notes 1. Unaudited positive year-end position is $29,246.52 2. Positive year-end position is attributable to $51,938.19 in profit at LWCA. DWCA deficit due to the cancellation of the May 24 weekend is compensated with a $11,155.68 pull from the campground reserve. 3. Only necessary pulls from reserves were undertaken; less was required due to fundraising efforts and loss of GIS/IT supervisor position. 4. Drawdown of (-$17,124.67) from legal reserve was less than expected. However, additional expenditures are expected in 2020. 5. $51,938.19 in LWCA profits were used to bring overall impact to Legal Reserve to nil; and limit the drawdown to the capital reserves to (-$3,588.29). Longterm capital forecasts estimate minimum of $30,000 push to capital reserves per year.

Good morning Joe and Lloyd,

It looks as though the applicant for 349 George Street has decided to only proceed with the westerly lot. We will be preparing some new mapping to reflect the revised proposal.

Do you have any other requests based on the information that was provided? I can pass them along when I send them the proposed revised mapping. Thank you.

Regards,
