  • The Fish Communities of the Toronto Waterfront: Summary and Assessment 1989 - 2005
    THE FISH COMMUNITIES OF THE TORONTO WATERFRONT: SUMMARY AND ASSESSMENT 1989 - 2005 SEPTEMBER 2008 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors wish to thank the many technical staff, past and present, of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and Ministry of Natural Resources who diligently collected electrofishing data for the past 16 years. The completion of this report was aided by the Canada Ontario Agreement (COA). 1 Jason P. Dietrich, 1 Allison M. Hennyey, 1 Rick Portiss, 1 Gord MacPherson, 1 Kelly Montgomery and 2 Bruce J. Morrison 1 Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, 5 Shoreham Drive, Downsview, ON, M3N 1S4, Canada 2 Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Lake Ontario Fisheries Management Unit, Glenora Fisheries Station, Picton, ON, K0K 2T0, Canada © Toronto and Region Conservation 2008 ABSTRACT Fish community metrics collected for 16 years (1989 — 2005), using standardized electrofishing methods, throughout the greater Toronto region waterfront, were analyzed to ascertain the current state of the fish community with respect to past conditions. Results that continue to indicate a degraded or further degrading environment include an overall reduction in fish abundance, a high composition of benthivores, an increase in invasive species, an increase in generalist species biomass, yet a decrease in specialist species biomass, and a decrease in cool water Electrofishing in the Toronto Harbour thermal guild species biomass in embayments. Results that may indicate a change in a positive community health direction include no significant changes to species richness, a marked increase in diversity in embayments, a decline in non-native species in embayments and open coasts (despite the invasion of round goby), a recent increase in native species biomass, fluctuating native piscivore dynamics, increased walleye abundance, and a reduction in the proportion of degradation tolerant species.

  • Invading Species Awareness Program for Ontario 2009
    2009/10 Invading Species Awareness Program for Ontario Annual Report for 2009/10 INVADING SPECIES AWARENESS PROGRAM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Invading Species Awareness Program The Invading Species Awareness Program (ISAP) has been a joint partnership initiative of the O.F.A.H. and the MNR since 1992; focusing on preventing invasive species introductions to Ontario’s forests and waters. In 2009, in collaboration with hundreds of community groups, nongovernment organizations and all levels of government, the ISAP reached hundreds of thousands of Ontarians engaging their participation in prevention. Hundreds of citizen scientists and professional field staff from numerous agencies participated in our monitoring and reporting programs. The ISAP made valuable contributions to early detection and rapid response initiatives for invasive species threatening Ontario’s biodiversity such as Asian carp, kudzu, European water chestnut, and water soldier. 2009 marked the successful completion of a multi‐year provincial effort to train the bait industry to implement aquatic invasive species prevention plans throughout their industry. The ISAP made significant contributions to provincial, national and international initiatives including the Ontario Invasive Plant Council, the U.S. Great Lakes Panel on Aquatic Nuisance Species and the Canadian Aquatic Invasive Species Network, and the development of the bi‐national Lake Superior Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Plan. Partnerships In 2009, the O.F.A.H. and the MNR continued the successful joint delivery of the ISAP, with O.F.A.H. staff working collaboratively with staff from MNR’s Biodiversity Section, as well as numerous district offices around the province. Federally, funding contributions were made from Environment Canada’s Invasive Alien Species Partnership Program, and the Lake Simcoe Clean Up Fund, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and Human Resources Development Canada’s Canada Summer Jobs Program and Eco‐Canada.

  • Humber River Fisheries Management Plan
    Humber River FFiisshheerriieess MMaannaaggeemmeenntt PPllaann A cooperative resource management plan developed by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority October 2004 Correct citation for this publication: Clayton, J., Hayes K., Heaton, M. G. and, Lawrie, D. 2004. Humber River Fisheries Management Plan. Published by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. i PREFACE A number of federal, provincial and regional strategies exist to guide watershed management and habitat protection and rehabilitation. At a federal level, the Toronto and Region Remedial Action Plan (RAP) was established in accordance with the Canada-United States Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement and identified the Toronto and Region Area of Concern (AOCs) as one of 43 AOCs around the Great Lakes. The Stage I RAP document identifies types and sources of water pollution problems, and outlines goals, remedial actions, agencies, costs, timetables and monitoring programs. Stage II provides a framework for guiding more local initiatives, such as fisheries rehabilitation. The Humber River Fisheries Management Plan (FMP) provides direction on three RAP goals and actions: Goal 2a) a self sustaining fishery Goal 2b) rehabilitation of fish and wildlife habitat Action 21) protect and restore fish and wildlife habitat Implementation of RAP recommendations, in conjunction with the recommendations of watershed based rehabilitation plans, will eventually lead to the delisting of watersheds within the Toronto and Region Area of Concern. Provincial fisheries management plans that set the context for the Humber River Fisheries Management Plan include the Strategic Plan for Ontario Fisheries (SPO F II) and the Maple District Fisheries Management Plan.

  • Etobicoke Creek Headwaters Subwatershed Study Sythesis Report
    Etobicoke Creek Headwaters Subwatershed Study Synthesis Report Prepared by: and FINAL REPORT September 2008 in partnership with: Preface In 2002 the Etobicoke and Mimico Creek Watersheds Task Force released Greening Our Watersheds: Revitalization Strategies for Etobicoke and Mimico Creeks , which established a vision and objectives for healthier and more sustainable watersheds by the year 2025 (TRCA, 2002a). Protection of the natural features and functions of the headwaters was recognized as being vitally important to the overall health of Etobicoke Creek. As the urbanized portion of the Greater Toronto Area continues to grow, the headwaters of Etobicoke Creek are expected to experience significant development pressure. This area was identified as a high priority for subwatershed planning to inform an environmental assessment study for a proposed extension of the Region of Peel’s Lake Ontario-based water supply infrastructure to the north and to inform the Town of Caledon’s community planning process for the Mayfield West area, located north of Mayfield Road, east and west of Highway 10 (Hurontario Street). In October of 2003, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) initiated a subwatershed planning study for the Etobicoke Creek Headwaters in partnership with the Region of Peel, Town of Caledon, City of Brampton and the Etobicoke and Mimico Creek Watersheds Coalition. The subwatershed study provided an opportunity to examine local watershed management issues and formulate recommendations for actions that would contribute to achieving the objectives of Greening Our Watersheds in this area. While the original workplan envisioned studies to predict the response of the subwatershed system to different scenarios of land use change, the pace at which planning initiatives in the study area were proceeding necessitated that the workplan be modified in 2005.

  • Toronto and Region Conservation Authority New Administrative Office Building Backgrounder
    Toronto and Region Conservation Authority New Administrative Office Building Backgrounder Project rationale The number of staff working at Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) has grown considerably since its main office at 5 Shoreham Drive in Toronto was constructed in the early 1970s. The original office was built to accommodate 80 staff. As TRCA grew over the years, staff worked out of various satellite offices and TRCA eventually leased additional office space at 101 Exchange Avenue in Vaughan to serve as an interim head office to accommodate over 300 staff. However, TRCA’s long-term goal was to consolidate staff working in multiple facilities to one central location to reduce travel time between TRCA offices, and allow resource and staff sharing. After an extensive analysis, it was determined that a newly constructed office building on the TRCA- owned land at 5 Shoreham Drive was the most cost-effective solution to meet the needs of the organization. In June 2016 TRCA’s Board of Directors approved the construction of a new administrative office building at 5 Shoreham Drive in Toronto. In early 2017 all six of TRCA’s participating municipalities approved the project along with the allocation of $60 million in new and existing capital funding. The Province of Ontario also approved $3.5 million in funding for the project. With support for the project and funding in place, TRCA proceeded with the design and municipal approvals for the new administrative building. That process is now almost complete, and construction of the new administrative building is about to begin. Project completion and occupancy are planned for the summer of 2021.
