  • Humber River State of the Watershed Report – Nature-Based Recreation
    Humber River State of the Watershed Report – Nature-based Recreation 2008 Humber River State of the Watershed Report – Nature-based Recreation EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • The variety of landscapes, features and nature-based recreation destinations in the Humber River watershed provide potential for a wide range of recreational activities including walking, hiking, cross-country skiing, wildlife-viewing, picnicking, camping, bicycling, horseback riding, golfing, fishing, swimming and exploring cultural heritage sites. • Urban development and population growth in Humber watershed municipalities will likely result in increased use of existing greenspace and nature-based recreation facilities and demand for additional greenspace and facilities. • There are approximately 8,800 hectares of public greenspace in the Humber River watershed (10% of the watershed). Most of the greenspace is owned by the TRCA (6,644 hectares or 75%). The quantity of greenspace in the Humber watershed increased by 243 hectares between 2000 and 2005. • Oak Ridges Corridor Park, created through the transfer of 428 hectares of land from private owners and developers to the Province of Ontario in 2004, protects the last remaining natural corridor link between eastern and western parts of the Oak Ridges Moraine in Richmond Hill and represents a major addition to the Humber watershed greenspace system. • The length of inter-regional trails in the Humber River watershed totals 213 km. The total length of inter-regional trails has increased by 28 km since 2000 and an additional 15 km of inter-regional trails are proposed to be built in the watershed. • Numerous municipalities have proposed new local trails in the Humber River watershed, totaling 168 km in length.

  • Toronto City Council Enviro Report Card 2010-2014
    TORONTO CITY COUNCIL ENVIRO REPORT CARD 2010-2014 TORONTO ENVIRONMENTAL ALLIANCE • JUNE 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY hortly after the 2010 municipal election, TEA released a report noting that a majority of elected SCouncillors had committed to building a greener city. We were right but not in the way we expected to be. Councillors showed their commitment by protecting important green programs and services from being cut and had to put building a greener city on hold. We had hoped the 2010-14 term of City Council would lead to significant advancement of 6 priority green actions TEA had outlined as crucial to building a greener city. Sadly, we’ve seen little - if any - advancement in these actions. This is because much of the last 4 years has been spent by a slim majority of Councillors defending existing environmental policies and services from being cut or eliminated by the Mayor and his supporters; programs such as Community Environment Days, TTC service and tree canopy maintenance. Only in rare instances was Council proactive. For example, taking the next steps to grow the Greenbelt into Toronto; calling for an environmental assessment of Line 9. This report card does not evaluate individual Council members on their collective inaction in meeting the 2010 priorities because it is almost impossible to objectively grade individual Council members on this. Rather, it evaluates Council members on how they voted on key environmental issues. The results are interesting: • Average Grade: C+ • The Mayor failed and had the worst score. • 17 Councillors got A+ • 16 Councillors got F • 9 Councillors got between A and D In the end, the 2010-14 Council term can be best described as a battle between those who wanted to preserve green programs and those who wanted to dismantle them.

On Monday, September 20, 2010, the City of Brampton drives into the public transit history books when North America‟s only state-of-the-art Xcelsior model bus made in Canada leaves the brand new Brampton Transit - Bramalea Terminal at 4:45 a.m. Brampton Züm (pronounced zoom) is a North American Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service with European sophistication built in Canada by Winnipeg‟s New Flyer Industries with integral design assistance from Brampton Transit. Züm is a model of modern-day technical ingenuity that will keep Brampton Transit‟s initial 25 of 60 new vehicles in the $285-million project on schedule and riders up to date with real-time schedule information, like when the next bus will really arrive. Among the other exclusive features that make the European-fashioned Züm ahead of its time in North America are: The highest ranking for fuel economy in factory testing; LED headlights that draw less power; 10-inch kneel, making it the lowest step-on on the market and one of the most accessible public buses in the world; The lowest interior noise for passengers ever recorded in third-party testing; 50 per cent larger tinted skylights for better views Electronic Instrument Panels (EIP) that provide each driver with more information than ever before.

  • Humber Bridge Trail and Mcewen Bridge, Schedule "B", Municipal Class EA Location: City of Vaughan, Region of York
    From: Kulpa, Paula (MTC) [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 18, 2010 10:59 AM To: Shoniker, Blair Cc: [email protected]; Duclos, Bert (MTC); [email protected] Subject: Bowstring Arch Bridges, Municipal Class EA Projects: Bowstring Arch Bridges, Humber Bridge trail and McEwen Bridge, Schedule "B", Municipal Class EA Location: City of Vaughan, Region of York Blair Shoniker, On October 13, 2010 the Ministry of Tourism and Culture (MTC) received your letter with respect to the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for two bowstring arch bridges located in the City of Vaughan, and within the Humber River watershed. As part of the Class Environmental Assessment process, the Ministry of Tourism and Culture has an interest in the conservation of cultural heritage resources including: o Archaeological resources; o Built heritage resources; and o Cultural heritage landscapes. The Provincial Policy Statement, 2005 issued under the authority of the Planning Act defines “conserved” as “the identification, protection, use and/or management of cultural heritage and archaeological resources in such a way that their heritage values, attributes and integrity are retained. This may be addressed through a conservation plan or heritage impact assessment.” Archaeology: As per our checklist for determining archaeological potential, a primary water source is located within both study areas, confirming the archaeological potential of the property. An archaeological assessment by a licensed consultant archaeologist of all lands that are part of this development proposal will be necessary for this project prior to any ground disturbance and/or site alterations. Once the assessment is complete, the licensed archaeologist will file an archaeological assessment report (3 copies) to the Ministry of Tourism and Culture for review by an Archaeology Review Officer.
