Dodging the 'Perfect Storm'
Dodging the ‘Perfect Storm’ Conservation Ontario’s Business Case for Strategic Reinvestment in Ontario’s Flood Management Programs, Services, and Structures September 2013 Introduction Flooding in Calgary, Alberta and more recently in Toronto, Ontario reminds us just how vulnerable we are when it comes to extreme weather events. The loss of life, devastation, long term social and economic disruption and the staggering cleanup costs in the aftermath of these floods clearly demonstrates how essential it is to have actionable guidelines, policies and programs in place to manage these events. Flooding in downtown Calgary (2013). Source: CTV News Flooding on the Don Valley Parkway, Toronto (2013). Source: CTV News 1 Dodging the ‘Perfect Storm’ – Conservation Ontario’s Business Case for Strategic Reinvestment in Ontario’s Flood Management Programs and Services, and Structures (2013) In Ontario, flooding is the leading cause of public emergency.1 To date, Ontario’s programs to manage floods and regulate floodplains have proven extremely effective and, indeed, the Ontario government has been a leading jurisdiction in Canada for flood planning and management. While much has been accomplished, several factors, if not addressed directly and quickly, will significantly jeopardize the ability of Conservation Authorities and all levels of governments to maintain and improve on this level of management and protection. Flood management is a shared responsibility in Ontario and Conservation Authorities are on the front lines of the Provincial Flood Forecasting and Warning program. In addition, Conservation Authorities bring added protection and benefits through watershed planning, watershed stewardship/natural heritage system management, monitoring and many other programs they deliver. -

Lake Ontario Biodiversity Conservation Strategy, Workshop 1
LAKE ONTARIO • ~ )> "' ~ Implementing a Lake Ontario LaMP • Ill -" ~ Biodiversity Conservation Strategy v Ill~ ; April 2011 ): z Lake Ontario 002987_IE10_03-B3278 Implementing a Lake Ontario LaMP Biodiversity Conservation Strategy April 2011 April 2011 To our biodiversity conservation partners: The attached Lake Ontario Lakewide Management Plan (LaMP) report, Implementing a Lake Ontario LaMP Biodiversity Conservation Strategy, April 2011, is the result of years of stakeholder consultation, solicitation of expert opinions, and consideration of existing biodiversity conservation program goals and objectives. The results of this broad stakeholder consultation process were summarized in the report The Beautiful Lake, A Binational Biodiversity Strategy for Lake Ontario, April 2009, which identifies twenty-six shorelines and watersheds of greatest value to Lake Ontario’s biodiversity. The attached LaMP implementation strategy lists the key recommendations provided in The Beautiful Lake report to be formally adopted by the LaMP. The LaMP will work to promote these actions, report on progress, identify resource needs and recommend additional actions as necessary to conserve Lake Ontario's biodiversity. The key elements of the Lake Ontario LaMP’s Binational Biodiversity Conservation Strategy are: 1) the integration of action priorities into existing programs and “place-based” planning activities especially within key watersheds, an activity best done by local governments and organizations and; 2) regional coordination of lakewide scale biodiversity monitoring and restoration activities. Given the enormous amount of work needed to restore and protect Lake Ontario’s biodiversity, the LaMP recognizes that the key to success lies in our ability to build and foster cooperative partnerships throughout the Lake Ontario basin. To that end, we ask that you consider the strategies and key steps outlined in this report as you plan and undertake activities to restore and protect Lake Ontario’s biodiversity. -
Back in the Tower Again
MUNICIPAL UPDATE Back In The Tower Again Angela Drennan THE SWEARING IN Toronto City Council was sworn in on December 4, 2018 to a Council Chamber full of family, friends and staff. The new Council is comprised of 25 Members including the Mayor, making it 26 (remember this now means to have an item passed at Council a majority +1 is needed, i.e. 14 votes). Councillor stalwart Frances Nunziata (Ward 5 York South Weston) was re-elected as the Speaker, a position she has held since 2010 and Councillor Shelley Carroll (Ward 17 Don Valley North) was elected as Deputy Speaker. The ceremonial meeting moved through the motions of pomp and circumstance with measured fanfare and Councillors, old and new, looking eager to get down to “real” work the next day during the official first meeting of City Council. Mayor Tory, during his first official address, stressed the need for Council consensus, not dissimilar to the previous term and reiterated his campaign positions on the dedication to build more affordable housing, address gun violence through youth programming and build transit, specifically the downtown relief line. Tory did suggest that the City still needs to take a financially prudent approach to future initiatives, as financial streams such as the land transfer tax have lessened due to a slower real estate market environment, a signal that cuts, reallocations or revenue tools will likely need to be revisited for debate during the term (the uploading of the TTC will help with the City’s financial burden, but isn’t enough). THE MAYOR’S OFFICE There have been some notable staff changes in Mayor John Tory’s Office, here are a few: We say goodbye to Vic Gupta, Tory’s Principal Secretary, who will be greatly missed but we say hello to Vince Gasparro, Liberal, Tory’s Campaign Co-Chair and longtime friend of the firm, who has taken over that position. -
November 18, 2019
Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report November 18, 2019 Quotation of the day “Hard to find out through the media that he wasn’t invited on the cool kids’ plane. Little harsh.” Alberta NDP Opposition Leader Rachel Notley throws shade at Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who was not on the chartered flight that carried premiers and their spouses from Calgary, where they attended Stampede, to Saskatoon for the Council of the Federation meeting in July — leaving taxpayers on the hook for $16,764. Ford’s office says he took a commercial flight instead. Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The only constituency week of the truncated fall session is up; the house convenes at 10:30 a.m. for question period. Second reading of Bill 136, the Provincial Animal Welfare Services Act, is on the order paper for afternoon debate. Last week Ontario’s top court overturned a lower court decision that prompted Bill 136 by ruling the now-ceded OSPCA-led enforcement system gave unconstitutional policing powers to the private charity. The government could also put forward Bill 116, Foundations for Promoting and Protecting Mental Health and Addictions Services Act. Committee this week The Standing Committee on General Government will take Bill 132, Better for People, Smarter for Business Act — the PC’s omnibus red-tape reduction legislation — on a tour around the province for public feedback, stopping in London on Thursday and Peterborough on Friday. The witness roster thus far includes representatives from environmental groups, the Retail Council of Canada, the Federation of Public Libraries, the Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario, an anti-quarry citizen group and CUPE, among others. -

June 21, 2021 Liz Mikel Senior Policy & Program Advisor Conservation & Source Protection Branch Ministry of the Environment, Conservation & Parks 40 St. Clair Avenue West 14th Floor Toronto, Ontario M4V 1M2 Subject: ERO #019-2986 – “Regulatory Proposals (Phase 1) under the Conservation Authorities Act” Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Phase 1 Regulatory Proposals under the Conservation Authorities Act and for providing a sufficient amount of time to make a submission. The comments below are provided on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Otonabee Region Conservation Authority. The Board endorsed these comments by resolution at their June 17, 2021, regular meeting and directed me to submit them on behalf of the Authority. Scope of Conservation Authority Mandate These comments relate to our observations on how well the proposed mandatory programs and services regulation aligns with the mandate of Conservation Authorities. The purpose of the Conservation Authorities Act is, “to provide for the organization and delivery of programs and services that further the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario.” The yet-to-be proclaimed Board Report #: 2021-050 Appendix A Page: 3 Subsection 20 (1) provides for the objects of an authority, which are to provide, in the area over which it has jurisdiction, mandatory, municipal, and other programs and services. The Made-in-Ontario Environment Plan sets out a commitment to, “work in collaboration with municipalities and other stakeholders to ensure that Conservation Authorities focus and deliver on their core mandate of protecting people and property from flooding and other natural hazards and conserving natural resources.” In our view, the proposed mandatory programs and services regulation is the mechanism to align the purpose of the Act and the government’s environmental commitments with the implementing mechanism of regulatory requirements and standards. -
