The previous EA study was completed in February 2008 to assess long-term water supply requirements for Clearview based on forecasted growth. The original EA encompassed numerous communities in Clearview; however, this Addendum focuses on the community of Stayner only and has been triggered by recent investigations, which have found a viable groundwater source north east of Stayner. The Study Area includes the southern portion of an agricultural property, located at 1585 Klondike Park Road, at the northeast corner of Klondike Park Road and Sunnidale Concession 12 Road (Site), and the existing rights-of-way (ROW) along Sunnidale Concession 12 Road west from 1585 Klondike Park Road to County Road 7, south on County Road 7 to Nottawasaga 27/28 Sideroad (County Road 96), and west on Nottawasaga 27/28 (County Road 96) to the Clearview Township Public Works building (see map).

  • Collingwood's Original Reason For
    COLLINGWOOD’S ORIGINAL REASON FOR EXISTENCE H. David Vuckson A stranger, with no knowledge of Collingwood’s early history, arriving in town today would have no idea of the original reason for the town’s existence: the opening of a railway linking Georgian Bay and the upper Great Lakes with Toronto. When the Hen and Chickens Harbour (the original name of the place, so named from one larger [the Hen] and a number of smaller islands [the Chickens] near the entrance to the harbour) was chosen in the early 1850’s as the site for the terminus of a portage railway from Toronto to Georgian Bay, the present townsite at the time was described as a dismal cedar swamp. A name more dignified than one reflecting barnyard animals was needed for the important transportation terminus that would be built here and the directors chose the name “Collingwood Harbour” after Vice-Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood (1748-1810) of the Royal Navy. Eventually the word “harbour” was dropped. 1 of 24 The original concept for the railway was as the shortest, practical route from Toronto north to a point somewhere on Georgian Bay to facilitate the movement of people and freight between Lake Ontario and “the west” which, in those days, meant largely Chicago and also isolated outposts of civilisation on the north shore of Georgian Bay and Lake Superior. This grand scheme, after a number of false starts, finally resulted in the completion of the Ontario, Simcoe and Huron Union Railway, so named for the three lakes the rails “united” (Georgian Bay has occasionally, in times past, been referred to as “the sixth Great Lake” even though it is part of Lake Huron).
