INTRODUCTION In 2020 the City of Brantford (City), through their consultant GM BluePlan Engineering Limited (GMBP), initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) to review alternatives for three bridges over the Grand River, collectively referred to as the Three Grand River Crossings, including the Lorne Bridge, Brant’s Crossing Bridge and the TH&B Crossing Bridge. Each of these bridges has been identified as requiring structural repairs. The purpose of this MCEA was to identify the short and long term plans for the Three Grand River Crossings. The study included determining the feasibility of removing the winter load limit on Lorne Bridge and the need for one or both of the Brant’s Crossing Bridge and TH&B Crossing Bridge based on an assessment of social, technical, economic and environmental factors, including impacts to the active transportation network and risks of future flooding events of the Grand River. 1.1 Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Process Municipal infrastructure projects are subject to the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (EA Act). Projects are considered approved subject to compliance with an approved MCEA process. The MCEA outlines a comprehensive 5-Phase approach to project planning that provides a rational approach to consider the natural, social, cultural, built and economic environment including advantages and disadvantages of alternative solutions and their trade-offs to determine a preferred solution for addressing the problem or opportunity. This includes consultation with agencies, directly affected stakeholders and the public throughout the process. The Three Grand River Crossings study was undertaken as a Schedule “B” MCEA, which must satisfy Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the planning process and are subject to consultation with relevant agencies, members of the public, stakeholders and indigenous communities who may be directly affected by the project. At the beginning of this EA, the following Problem and Opportunity Statements were established to guide the project: A. Problem: Structural investigations have identified the need for structural repairs to each of the Three Grand River Crossings. B. Opportunity: The City plans to identify the short and long-term plans for the Three Grand River Crossings. The study will include determining the feasibility of removing the winter load limit on Lorne Bridge and the need for one or both of the TH&B Crossing Bridge and Brant’s Crossing Bridge based on an assessment of the technical, economic, social and natural environmental factors, including impacts to the active transportation network and the risks of future flooding events of the Grand River. 2. BACKGROUND STUDIES AND EXISTING CONDITIONS To inform the evaluation of alternative solutions a variety of background studies were completed. Refer to sections below for an overview of the background studies that were completed for the Three Grand River Crossings MCEA. 2.1 Cultural Heritage Evaluation Report Following guidance developed by the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries (MHSTCI) and other sources, the Cultural Heritage Evaluation Report (CHER) outlines the purpose and requirements of cultural heritage evaluation and methods used to investigate and evaluate built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes, describes the Study Area’s geographic and historical context, inventories the built and landscape elements in the Study Area and at each bridge site, and for each discusses the structural history, architectural and engineering influences, integrity, and physical conditions. The CHER then evaluates the Study Area and each bridge using the criteria prescribed in Ontario Regulation 9/06 to provide a Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest with Heritage Attributes for the Study Area and each bridge. The CHER concluded that all three bridges are built heritage resources and the Study Area as a whole should be considered a potential cultural heritage landscape. Based on these findings, it was recommended that a Heritage 2 CITY OF BRANTFORD THREE GRAND RIVER CROSSINGS MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

Chapter Focus Questions •What was the social structure of Iroquois society? •What opportunities did people have to participate in decision making? •What were the ideas behind the government of the Iroquois Confederacy? The last chapter explored the government of ancient Athens. This chapter explores another government with deep roots in history: the Iroquois Confederacy. The Iroquois Confederacy formed hundreds of years ago in North America — long before Europeans first arrived here. The structure and principles of its government influenced the government that the United States eventually established. The Confederacy united five, and later six, separate nations. It had clear rules and procedures for making decisions through representatives and consensus. It reflected respect for diversity and a belief in the equality of people. Pause The image on the side of this page represents the Iroquois Confederacy and its five original member nations. It is a symbol as old as the Confederacy itself. Why do you think this symbol is still honoured in Iroquois society? 82 04 AB6 Ch 4.11 4/2/08 11:22 AM Page 83 What are we learning in this chapter?

  • Transforming the Grand River
    The WCA thanks the Ontario Trillium Foundation for their support of this TRANSFORMING ‘War of 1812’ Bicentennial commemorative project. THE GRAND RIVER eography matters. In many ways, the Grand River has determined the course of history for Canada. The geography attracted Aboriginal peoples at the close of the last ice age, and led Gto the emergence of vibrant and complex agrarian aboriginal nations. Following European colonization, the region became strategically important and figured heavily in the various events that shaped modern North America. The early settlements that located along the Grand River Watershed have today become some of Ontario’s major cities and commercial centres. The region’s excellent waterways and the river’s natural capacity to provide power to operate heavy machinery made it an ideal place to locate the centres that would later provide the industrial infrastructure of the Province of Ontario, and serve as a major driver of the Canadian economy. Scan to view this panel ! Just below Brantford, The Grand River opens up into a slow and relatively shallow watercourse used for transporting goods until the 1850’s when the railways were built.

  • Landowner Behaviour in the Upper Thames and Grand River Watersheds: a Study of Factors That May Explain the Conservation Behavio
    Landowner Behaviour in the Upper Thames and Grand River Watersheds: A Study of Factors That May Explain the Conservation Behaviour of Farmers MPA Research Report Submitted to: The Local Government Program Department of Political Science The University of Western Ontario Jeffrey J. Brick July 2013 Executive Summary This study was designed to gain insight into the factors that may explain why some farmers remove conservation lands while other farmers restore conservation lands. The study gathered information from a survey that was administered to rural landowners in the Upper Thames River and Grand River watersheds in southwestern Ontario. The survey was implemented at a time when the agriculture sector appeared to be experiencing significant economic changes and many resources management professionals were expressing concern about the fate of conservation lands through the change process. A literature is included which provides insights into the value of conservation lands and the changing economic conditions in the study area. The policy framework for conservation in the study area is then reviewed and the literature reviews concludes with an in-depth analysis of the research on factors that may affect conservation behaviour. The study does not attempt to establish a link between pressure on conservation lands and changing conditions but instead, using this frame, it explores various factors that may affect a farmer’s decision to remove or restore conservation lands. Eight independent variables that may explain the conservation behaviour of farmers in the study area were assessed. A significant positive correlation was found between property size and net change in conservation land since 2006.

  • Position on Reclamation
    Haudenosaunee at Kahnawà:ke stand by Reclamation occupation at Caledonia For Immediate Release Mohawk Nation at Kahnawake – Onerahtókha/April 30, 2006 The Haudenosaunee at Kahnawake offer greetings and thanksgiving. On April 20, 2006, at approximately 4:30am; the Ontario Provincial Police launched a violent attack upon occupants of the repatriated Haudeno- saunee Territory at Caledonia. The occupants there were unarmed and peaceful. This unnecessary and insensitive measure to use violence is deplorable and intolerable, and is reminiscent of the brutal force used against our people during the events at Ipperwash in 1995, Kanehsatake in 1990, and Grand River in 1924 when the RCMP removed the traditional Haudenosaunee Confederacy Council by force of arms. The Haudenosaunee at Kahnawake desire a peaceful resolve to this issue and implore the Governments of Canada and Ontario not to employ any further acts of violence or aggression upon our people. We feel that this is the best way to ensure the safety and security of everyone in the area. The Haudenosaunee at Kahnawake would like to also take this opportunity to announce its full support for the reclamation occupation at Caledonia. Moreover, the Haudenosaunee at Kahnawake standby the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Council at Grand River as the legitimate governing authority of Oshwé:ken. It must be made clear that only through talks with the Haudenosaunee Six Nation Iroquois Confederacy can the wrongs of the past be made right. The Haudenosaunee at Kahnawake call upon other Haudenosaunee nations and territories as well as Indigenous Peoples throughout the world; to stand in solidarity with the people of Grand River throughout this reclamation occupation.

Understanding the spatial and temporal variabilities of water security can play a pivotal role in sustainable management of fresh water resources. In this study, a long-term water security analysis of the Grand River watershed (GRW), Ontario, Canada, was carried out using the soil and water assessment tool (SWAT). Analyses on blue and green water availability and water security were carried out by dividing the GRW into eight drainage zones. As such, both anthropogenic as well as environmental demand were considered. In particular, while calculating blue water scarcity, three different methods were used in determining the environmental flow requirement, namely, the presumptive standards method, the modified low stream-flow method, and the variable monthly flow method. Model results showed that the SWAT model could simulate streamflow dynamics of the GRW with ‘good’ to ‘very good’ accuracy with an average Nash–Sutcliffe Efficiency of 0.75, R2 value of 0.78, and percentage of bias (PBIAS) of 8.23%.

  • Task 3 Neil Fulton
    REPORT ON POTENTIAL MEASURES TO ALLEVIATE PROBLEMS CREATED BY CtIFWNT HIGH LAKE LEVELS TASK 3 DIVERSIONS MANAGEMENT ,.l -. TO THE INTERNATIONAL JOINT CCXMISSICPJ FROM TASK GROUP MEMBERS GERALD MACMILLXY DON LEONARD RM; GOLDING BILL DALEY MAC ODELL BILL ERDLE PETER YEE . NEIL FULTON SEPTEMBER 1987 EXExmTIVE SUMMARY The Governments of Canada and the United States requested, in August 1986, that the International Joint 'Commission study methods of alleviating the adverse consequences of fluctuating Great Lakes water levels. Part of this study entailed an immediate short-term investigation of methods of alleviating the present high water level crisis. One of the elements of the short-term investigation was a study of diversions management and the results are contained herein. The theoretical maximum flow through the Welland Canal in an extreme crisis situation was estimated to be 12,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). The most significant physical impacts of this maximum flow would be the complete disruption of navigation between Lake Ontario and the upper lakes and the possibility of major damage to the canal itself. A reduction in Lake Erie levels of 1.3 inches would be achieved. The Ogoki and Long Lac Diversions can be closed completely but, because of significant social impacts associated with the closure of the Long Lac Diversion, a.scenario involving a combined annual diversion flow of 800 cfs was investigated to determine the benefits foregone by maintaining the log-driving operation from Long Lake. The most significant physical impacts were the direct loss of 2,500 jobs in the Terrace Bay - Longlac area resulting from the closure of the Kimberly-Clark pulp mill in Terrace Bay due to complete closure of Long Lac Diversion, and the reduction in livelihood and alteration in way of life for local populations associated with the closure of both diversions.
