The study area consists of a 500 metre (m) wide corridor centered on Stouffville Road, from Highway 404 west to Yonge Street, and an approximate 100 hectare (ha) parcel of land where Stouffville Road terminates at Yonge Street (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The study area is located within multiple lots and concessions in the Geographical Townships of Whitchurch, Markham, Vaughan, and King South, now the Town of Richmond Hill, Municipality of York, York County, Ontario. This Stage 1 archaeological assessment was triggered by a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment during the planning stage of the project and to meet the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act (Ontario Government 1990a). This project is also subject to the Ontario Heritage Act (Ontario Government 1990b). The Stage 1 archaeological assessment has determined that there is high potential for the recovery of both First Nation and Euro-Canadian archaeological resources within parts of study area and a known archaeological site is within its limits. Due to extensive urban development some portions of the study area have been previously disturbed; however, areas of agricultural field, woodlot, and manicured lawn within the study area limits are included as areas where archaeological integrity could remain intact (Figure 6). Stage 2 archaeological assessment is recommended for any areas of potentially undisturbed lands identified in this study as retaining archaeological potential. It should be noted that this Stage 1 assessment is a preliminary study completed during the early pre-planning stages of the Stouffville Road Improvements project and includes lands in which several different routing options are being explored. Once all route alternatives and the overall scope of this project have been determined, all areas of potentially undisturbed lands that may potentially be affected by this project will require Stage 2 archaeological assessment. The Stage 2 archaeological assessment must be conducted by a licensed archaeologist and must follow the requirements set out in the Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (Ontario Government 2011), including: Pedestrian survey at 5 m intervals where ploughing is possible (e.g., agricultural fields). This assessment will occur when agricultural fields have been recently ploughed, weathered, and exhibit at least 80 % surface visibility; Test pit survey at 5 m intervals in all areas that will be impacted by the project and where ploughing is not possible (e.g., woodlots, overgrown areas, manicured lawns); Poorly drained areas, areas of steep slope and areas of previous disturbance (e.g., pipelines, railways, road ROWs, buildings) identified are to be mapped and photo-documented, but are not recommended for Stage 2 survey as they possess low to no archaeological potential. During the background research, a historic church and cemetery were identified in the southwestern portion of the study area. Special consideration and recommendations must be made for the St. John’s Anglican Church and St. John’s Cemetery as historic churches and associated cemeteries significantly increase the potential for finding unmarked burial locations, grave shafts, and/or the recovery of human remains. Given the mid-19th century establishment of the registered St. John’s Cemetery, and its proximity to the Yonge Street Municipal ROW, a high probability exists that unmarked graves and associated shafts may be present adjacent to, or within the ROW. Current fence line or boundaries do not necessarily represent the limits of the cemetery below ground. As a i AECOM York Region Stage 1 Archaeological Assessment Stouffville Road EA precautionary measure, it is recommended that after Stages 1 and 2 archaeological assessments are completed, should any ground disturbing activities be conducted in the vicinity of the historic church, the following activities must be conducted to determine if any grave shafts are present: Stage 3 mechanical topsoil removal must be conducted for all lands

  • Metrolinx Accessibility Status Report 2016
    Acknowledgements We would like to acknowledge the efforts of former Metrolinx Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC) members Mr. Sean Henry and Mr. Brian Moore, both of whom stepped down from the AAC in 2016. They provided valuable input into our accessibility planning efforts. We would like to welcome Mr. Gordon Ryall and Ms. Heather Willis, who both joined the Metrolinx AAC in 2015. Lastly, we would like to thank all of the Metrolinx AAC members for the important work they do as volunteers to improve the accessibility of our services. Metrolinx Accessibility Status Report: 2016 1. Introduction The 2016 Metrolinx Accessibility Status Report provides an annual update of the Metrolinx Multi-Year Accessibility Plan published in December 2012, as well as the 2015 Metrolinx Accessibility Status Report. Metrolinx, a Crown agency of the Province of Ontario under the responsibility of the Ministry of Transportation, has three operating divisions: GO Transit, PRESTO and Union Pearson Express. This Status Report, in conjunction with the December 2012 Metrolinx Multi-Year Accessibility Plan, fulfills Metrolinx’s legal obligations for 2016 under the Ontarians with Disabilities Act (ODA), to publish an annual accessibility plan; and also under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), to publish an annual status report on its multi-year plan. The December 2012 Metrolinx Multi-Year Accessibility Plan and other accessibility planning documents can be referenced on the Metrolinx website at the following link: www.metrolinx.com/en/aboutus/accessibility/default.aspx. In accordance with the AODA, it must be updated every five years. Metrolinx, including its operating divisions, remains committed to proceeding with plans to ensure AODA compliance.

  • GO Transit Fare Increase
    Memorandum To: Metrolinx Board of Directors From: Greg Percy President, GO Transit Date: December 3, 2015 Re: Proposed GO Transit Fare Increase Executive Summary As part of the annual business plan process, an extensive review is undertaken of both operating expenses as well as other revenue opportunities to determine if a fare increase is warranted. Effective February 1, 2016, a GO Transit fare increase of approximately 5% is being recommended to meet the needs of our growing customer base and to ensure long term financial sustainability for the corporation. Staff are proposing to continue with a tiered fare increase approach, based on a four-tier system that exemplifies the fare-by-distance approach. Fares for short-distance trips would be frozen under this proposal. Base adult single fares would be increased as follows: Base Adult Single Fares Current Fare Increase Range $5.30 - $5.69 $0.00 $5.70 - $6.50 $0.40 $6.51 - $8.25 $0.50 > $8.25 $0.60 The discounts for the initial Adult PRESTO card fare would be increased from 10% to 11.15%. The discount on the initial PRESTO card fare for a student would increase from 17.25% to 18.40% while the discount on a senior fare would increase from 51.50% to 52.65%. The net result would be an approximate 5% effective rate of increase for the majority of our customers who use the PRESTO card. Additionally, PRESTO users will now pay less for short-distance trips due to the fact that the fares for these trips are not increasing while the initial discount for using PRESTO is increasing.

  • “Cracked Cisterns” Stouffville United Church Sunday, September 1, 2019 Jeremiah 2 and Hebrews 13 in 1804, Abraham and Elizab
    “Cracked Cisterns” Stouffville United Church Sunday, September 1, 2019 Jeremiah 2 and Hebrews 13 In 1804, Abraham and Elizabeth Reesor Stouffer arrived here in what we know today as Stouffville, from Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Our town was originally named Stoufferville. Elizabeth’s brother, Peter Reesor, came with them on this journey. Peter Reesor would settle to the south in what would be called Reesorville, later known as Markham. From Jean Barkey’s book, “Stouffville: 1877-1977”, is an account of their journey to Canada. “Peter Reesor and Abraham Stouffer emigrated to Canada. Their means of transporting their families and possessions was four large, strong covered wagons each drawn by four or six horses …The Stouffer-Reesor menage included pigs, fowl, sheep, cows, oxen, housewares, some farm implements, and food enough for the trek. This six-week trek took them through trackless forests, which frequently required that the menfolk cut a path for the wagons …. Bridges were built over rivers that could not be forded.”1 Abraham Stouffer died at the age of 72 in 1851, and his wife Elizabeth died 2 years later at the age of 61. They are buried in the Altona Mennonite Burial Grounds. As part of my doctorate work, I enlisted Marg Curtis to help me to envision Stouffville as it was in the 1940’s and 1950’s. She meticulously produced hand drawn maps of Main Street, North and South sides, from Park Drive to Albert Street, with accompanying notes of who lived and worked in which building. I offer a few names from the 99 residences/businesses she listed: Atkinson’s Farm Implement Dealership – father of Marion Wells The Rutledge’s – Beulah King’s parents Lehman’s Shoe Store – Jean Barclay’s mother’s family Shaw Store – sold ladies’ clothing, fabric by the yard.
