March 2020 - Volume 20, Issue 109 Outreach - Value – Input Making Our Community Thrive March 2020 - Volume 20, Issue 109 Outreach - Value – Input Making Our Community Thrive Dear Scarborough-Guildwood Neighbours, I would like to thank everyone who attended my Community Town Hall Meeting at Cedarbrook Community Centre on Tuesday February 18th. Residents play a vital role in our community and I appreciate the time people out of their busy days to come and speak with me, and our neighbours. Topics discussed at this Town Hall included community safety, traffic concerns, community resources available to the neighbourhood. Staff from Toronto Police Services 43 Division distributed information such as the non- emergency number, how to report issues online, and utilizing Toronto Police Service's website portal to view statistics and events in every neighbourhood. The police called attention to utilizing the non-emergency number 416-808-2222 to report any out of the ordinary observations in your community as it assists if issues develop. Contacting the non-emergency line is important, I cannot stress enough that calling the line will bring more resources to Scarborough-Guildwood as the number of calls and data on the issue is used to determine where to place officers and resources. Toronto Police Services now has online services for everyone to use to report any incident online through its Citizen Online Report Entry (CORE) unit. Visit the Ward Wide Update section of this letter for more details. Toronto Public Health (TPH) is monitoring additional positive cases of COVID-19 in Toronto.

  • 3. Description of the Potentially Affected Environment
    ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 3. Description of the Potentially Affected Environment The purpose of Chapter 3 is to present an overview of the environment potentially affected by the SWP to create familiarity with issues to be addressed and the complexity of the environment likely to be affected by the Project. All aspects of the environment within the Project Study Area (see Figure 2- 1 in Chapter 2) relevant to the Project and its potential effects have been described in this chapter. The chapter is divided into three sections which capture different components of the environment: 1. Physical environment: describes the coastal and geotechnical processes acting on the Project Study Area; 2. Natural environment: describes terrestrial and aquatic habitat and species; and, 3. Socio-economic environment: describes existing and planned land use, land ownership, recreation, archaeology, cultural heritage, and Aboriginal interests. The description of the existing environment is based on the information from a number of studies, which have been referenced in the relevant sections. Additional field surveys were undertaken where appropriate. Where applicable, future environmental conditions are also discussed. For most components of the environment, existing conditions within the Project Area or Project Study Area are described. Where appropriate, conditions within the broader Regional Study Area are also described. 3.1 Physical Environment Structures and property within slopes, valleys and shorelines may be susceptible to damage from natural processes such as erosion, slope failures and dynamic beaches. These processes become natural hazards when people and property locate in areas where they normally occur (MNR, 2001). Therefore, understanding physical natural processes is vital to developing locally-appropriate Alternatives in order to meet Project Objectives.

  • Historical Settlement
    HISTORICAL SETTLEMENT CHAPTER 3 The period of historical settlement in the Highland Creek watershed began in about 1650 when aboriginal populations first made contact with European explorers and settlers. A major landmark on the north shore of Lake Ontario, the Scarborough Highlands lent their name to the creek immediately below them from the beginning. Its Mississauga name of “Yat.qui.I.be.no.nick”, recorded in 1796, and all subsequent names reflect its geographical position as the first creek below the high land. Travellers going westward on the lake would often camp at the mouth of the Highland Creek rather than attempt a passage along the base of the Bluffs in darkness or bad weather. The following sections provide an overview of the historical period including contact between aboriginal and Euro-Canadian peoples, key characteristics of the successive periods of settlement, the impact of this settlement on the environment, and a summary of heritage resources found in the watershed. 3.1 CONTACT 1650 TO 1800 Following the decimation and ultimate dispersal of the Petun and Huron by the Iroquois in 1650, southern Ontario was uninhabited for a few years before the Iroquois moved into the area to establish a number of large villages along the north shore of Lake Ontario for the exploitation of the local fur resources. One such village was Ganatsekiagon, located on the Rouge River. No villages of this size and importance have been found in the Highland Creek watershed, but evidence shows that the resources of Highland Creek were used by the native peoples of these villages.

  • Grand Opening of the Todd Bardes Meadowlands Side Trail by Nancy Tilt, TBTC Conservation Committee
    Winter 2016-2017 THE QUARTERLY OF THE TORONTO BRUCE TRAIL CLUB Vol. LIII No. 4 www.torontobrucetrailclub.org | 416-763-9061 | [email protected] Grand Opening of the Todd Bardes Meadowlands Side Trail by Nancy Tilt, TBTC Conservation Committee Friends and family, hikers, and Toronto Bruce Trail Club Conservation Committee members, about 75 in all, gathered at Limehouse Com- munity Hall on a beautiful early September Sunday. The occasion was the Grand Opening of a new Side Trail in memory of Todd Bardes, a dedicated and treasured Bruce Trail volunteer. Car and bus thru-hikes had been organized for the day to coincide with the early afternoon opening of the Trail. Peter Leeney, friend of Todd and currently Land Stewardship Director and past President of the Toronto Club, spoke of Todd's long history with the Bruce Trail. Todd joined the Bruce Trail Association in 1994 and had been actively involved with trail activities since 1996 both at the club level, the broader Board level, and most recently as President. In 2001 the Bruce Trail purchased the 39-acre Springle property just north of Limehouse. Todd and his wife, Christina, subsequently took on the role of Land Stewards. Existing ATV disturbance in the mead- owland portion of the property was an issue needing attention. Fellow Bruce Trail volunteer, Andrew Costley, came up with the idea of a community-based and monitored Side Trail through the meadow. Todd, along with support from other volunteers, wholeheartedly agreed, and through their efforts the Side Trail came to life. Andrew Costley, on behalf of all volunteers who knew Todd, spoke Hike Leader Training 2017 of him as a friend and mentor, providing both advice and leadership with wise and patient counsel.

  • Scarborough Civic Centre Branch Library Project Enhancement Options
    Anne Bailey Director, Branch Libraries Toronto Public Library www.torontopubliclibrary.ca ________________________________________________________________ BRIEFING NOTE – Poverty Reduction Initiatives at Toronto Public Library _____________________________________________________________ Toronto Public Library has developed two initiatives for the City’s poverty reduction strategy in 2015, the Library Access – Fines Forgiveness program and Youth Hubs. What is the Library Access - Fine Forgiveness program? Library Access - Fine Forgiveness is a program to reinstate full library services and borrowing for children and youth at library branches in poverty areas by forgiving outstanding fines starting second quarter 2015, making summer reading programs, collections and after school programs fully accessible to the target audience. Children and youth registered at the 31 library branches and bookmobile stops delivering services to the Toronto Strong Neighbourhood Stratey (TSNS) 2020 neighbourhood improvement areas, whose library privileges are suspended, will be contacted and offered a forgiveness coupon so that full privileges are restored upon presentation of the coupon at the TSNS branch (Attachments 1 and 2). The program will be implemented in two phases. First, in spring 2015 the library will reach out to these children and teens to reinstate their privileges and invite them to join the summer reading club and participate in summer programs at their local branch. Second, in the fall as the school year gets underway, the Library will reach out again to children and teens registered at the TSNS branches with suspended cards, to reinstate their privileges and invite them back to the library. After school programs, reading support programs, collections, computer access and study spaces will be promoted. This campaign can be readily implemented and the outcomes will be tracked by branch.

  • CHAPTER 7 One of the Fundamental Components of the Natural Heritage System Is Water
    WATER CHAPTER 7 One of the fundamental components of the natural heritage system is water. All life depends upon it. Water is constantly moving or cycling through the environment. This movement of water as atmospheric moisture, groundwater, and surface water is known as the hydrologic cycle (see Figure 7). The quality and quantity of these resources are important factors in the determination of watershed health. 7.1 GROUNDWATER Groundwater is an essential component of the hydrologic cycle, and hence of the natural heritage system. As groundwater moves through one or more geologic layers, it can eventually discharge, or seep out, into valleys, streams, lakes or wetlands. In this way, groundwater provides the baseflow of many streams and can regulate factors such as water quantity, quality, and temperature. FIGURE 7: The Hydrologic Cycle 7.1.1 Groundwater Quantity It is important to note that similar to surface water, groundwater typically flows downhill following the slope of the water table. Groundwater also flows toward and eventually drains into watercourses and lakes. The Highland Creek watershed is underlain by layers of soil deposited over many thousands of years. Some of these layers are permeable and allow water to 67 STATE OF THE WATERSHED REPORT: HIGHLAND CREEK WATERSHED flow through them. These are known as aquifers. Others are less permeable and slow down the movement of water. These are known as aquitards. The Highland Creek watershed is underlain by three major aquifers, known as the Upper, Middle, and Lower Aquifers (Eyles et al., 1998). The Upper Aquifer is intermittent across the watershed. It is confined to a thin layer of soil on the South Slope less than five metres in thickness, and to the Lake Iroquois sand plain situated south of the Lake Iroquois shoreline (Eyles et al., 1998).
