The purpose of the Premier-ranked Tourist Destination Project is to determine the current strength of Toronto’s tourism industry. The process also identifies gaps and opportunities, which need to be addressed in order to improve Toronto’s competitive position within the tourism marketplace. The Premier-ranked Tourist Destination Framework (PRTDF) was developed by the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Recreation (now the Ministry of Tourism) in 2001 to assist regions in assessing their destination. The framework is summarized in the PRTD workbook, which sets out the research and consultative methodology and leads the region through a series of questions probing its product, performance and futurity (which the Toronto project has relabelled “sustainability”) dimensions. The workbook has been designed to guide users through a three- stage process of evaluation, interpretation, and planning. Copies are available for downloading at www.premier-ranked.ca. The following table indicates these stages and their respective steps: Table 1.1 Project Process Step 1 - Complete the Resource Audit Step 2 - Measure Destination Product Evaluation: Step 3 - Measure Destination Performance Step 4 - Measure Destination Futurity Step 5 - Complete the Destination Performance Summary Interpretation: Step 6 - Determine whether your Destination is among the Premier-Ranked Step 7 - Determine the next steps in Tourism Planning: Development for the Destination The project thereby provides: • An inventory of tourism resources and assets • A clear appraisal of Toronto’s current competitive position in the tourism marketplace • A benchmark to measure tourism performance and market position • A solid foundation for a tourism development strategy by creating an action plan of short and long-term tactics What is in This Report? This report summarizes Steps 1 through Step 6 of the Toronto PRTD project. Behind this research manual is an extensive amount of information gathered during the course of the project. It outlines the findings from primary and secondary research resources according to the workbook questions. 1 As is further outlined below, Toronto retained the services of a consultant (Brain Trust Marketing & Communications) experienced with applying the PRTD framework in other regions to advise on the research and lead the planning stages of the process. Brain Trust has drawn from this research manual to produce a separate report summarizing the interpretation and planning stages of the project. The Toronto Premier-ranked Tourist Destination Framework Process In the summer of 2006, the City of Toronto began the implementation of the Premier-ranked Tourist Destination Project. Support for the project was provided by Service Canada and the Investment Development Office and Regional Services at the Ministry of Tourism as well as by the City of Toronto. In January 2007, tourism researchers were hired as Audit Team members to work on Toronto’s PRTD Project. A summary

    Environmental Assessment chapter 3. description of the potentially affected environment 3. Description of the Potentially Affected Environment This chapter is divided into four different sections which describe different components of the baseline or existing environmental conditions. The first section describes the river characteristics which will influence the development of alternatives. This information has been separated from the remaining description of the natural environment such that some emphasis can be given to those aspects of the existing environment that are driving the development of alternatives for the DMNP. The second section describes the remaining components of the natural environment: fish and fish habitat, terrestrial vegetation, and wildlife. The third section addresses components related to soils and groundwater contamination. The final section describes socio-economic components: land use, air quality and noise, archaeology, aboriginal interests, and built heritage. 3.1 River Characteristics in the Project and Impact Assessment Study Areas The Don Watershed possesses a dendretic drainage pattern that flows southward for 38 kilometres (as the crow flies) from the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) to the Inner Harbour of Toronto. The Don possesses two major branches (the East and West Don), each consisting of many smaller sub-watershed systems, such as but not limited to Taylor Massey Creek, Wilket Creek, Patterson Creek and Pomona Creek. The confluence of the East and West Branches occurs approximately 6 kilometres upstream of the Impact Assessment Study Area. Downstream from the confluence, the sub-watershed is known as the Lower Don and includes all of the Don Narrows until reaching the Keating Channel. The entire watershed area or drainage basin of the Don River is approximately 360 square kilometres (Figure 3−1).
