    MOON RIVER Grades SUBWATERSHED Land: a Water: a Wetland: —

    MOON RIVER Grades SUBWATERSHED Land: A Water: A Wetland: — The Moon River subwatershed is 71,434 hectares in area and is located in the western portion of The District Municipality of Muskoka, flowing from Lake Muskoka at Bala in the Township of Muskoka Lakes westerly through both the Moon and Musquash Index Map Rivers in the Township of Georgian Bay and finally emptying into Georgian Bay. Less that 5% of the subwatershed is developed with 49% of the land through which the river flows being Crown land. There are no major urban areas within the subwatershed and shoreline residential development comprises most of the land use. 17% of the subwatershed is protected through provincial parks, crown nature reserves, or local land trusts. There are 37 lakes in the subwatershed that are 8 hectares or greater. The subwatershed is divided into two distinct reaches: the Moon River and Musquash River branches. There are 2 dams at Bala with power generation at the Burgess Dam site. On the Moon River there is one dam with no power generation. The river is approximately 35 kilometers in length. The Musquash River is approximately 30 kilometers in length and there are two dams with power generation: Big Eddy and Ragged Rapids. There are automatic water level gauges downstream from the Big Eddy Dam and at both dams in Bala. There are also flow gauges on both the Moon and Musquash Rivers and one located upstream from the point at which the rivers separate. This report card describes the health of the land, water and wetlands of the Moon River subwatershed and is part of the larger report The 2010 Muskoka Watershed Report Card that is posted on the MWC website www.muskokaheritage.org/watershed.

    Moon River Conservation Reserve (C94) and Lower Moon River Conservation Reserve (C90) Statement of Conservation Interest March 2005 Moon River Conservation Reserve (C94) and Lower Moon River Conservation Reserve (C90) Statement of Conservation Interest Ministry of Natural Resources Parry Sound District Prepared with the assistance of: Meteek & Company Huntsville, Ontario March 2005 i Approval Statement We are pleased to approve this Statement of Conservation Interest for Moon River Conservation Reserve (C94) and Lower Moon River Conservation Reserve (C90). Together these two conservation reserves provide protection for approximately 15 kilometres of diverse habitats along the Moon River, from just west of Highway 400 (formerly Highway 69) to Arnolds Bay and The Massasauga Provincial Park on the Georgian Bay shoreline. Moon River Conservation Reserve (C94) is the upstream component of these two protected areas. It consists of 457 hectares of Crown land, located in southern Freeman Ward in the Area Municipality of Georgian Bay, in the District of Muskoka. The site is approximately seven kilometres southwest of the hamlet of Mactier. At its closest point on the east it is about ½ kilometre west of Highway 400, and it abuts Lower Moon River Conservation Reserve at its west boundary. This conservation reserve, located in Hills’ ecological Site District 5E-7, includes steep rocky slopes and low cliffs on the Moon River. The surrounding uplands support representative sugar maple and old hemlock forests growing on gently sloping hills with shallow sandy soils or bare bedrock. It provides habitat for the nationally threatened eastern Massasauga rattlesnake and the threatened eastern hog- nosed snake. Lower Moon River Conservation Reserve (C90) is a 2723 hectare area of Crown land, located about 10 kilometres due west of the hamlet of Mactier.

    SMRCP Aboriginal Cancer Plan

    1 This plan was developed in collaboration with our community partners. Special thanks to the Aboriginal Health Circle for their valuable input and ongoing partnership which is essential to the success of this work. 2 Aboriginal Communities in the North Simcoe Muskoka Region Regional Index First Nations Communities 11. Beausoleil First Nation 24. Chippewas of Rama First Nation 74. Moose Deer Point First Nation 121. Wahta Mohawks Metis Nation of Ontario Community Councils 5. Georgian Bay Métis Council 13. Moon River Métis Council 3 The First Nation, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) population of the North Simcoe Muskoka (NSM) region is approximately 20,000, accounting for approximately 6% of Ontario’s Indigenous inhabitants. The region is home to 4 First Nations communities and 2 Métis Community Councils: Moose Deer Point First Nation, Beausoleil First Nation and Chippewas of Rama (served by the Union of Ontario Indians), Wahta Mohawks (served by the Association of Iroquois and Allied Indians), the Georgian Bay Métis Council, and Moon River Métis Council. It should be noted here that Midland and Innisfil consecutively have the 1st and 2nd largest Métis populations in Ontario. In addition to these communities, NSM is home to a large urban Aboriginal population. There are now more Aboriginal people living in urban centers than there are living in Aboriginal territories, communities on reserves and Métis settlements. It is estimated that 65% of the Indigenous population of Simcoe Muskoka constitute a permanent presence throughout the region. This percentage of the Indigenous community is primarily serviced by Native Women’s Groups, Native Friendship Centre's and additional community based organizations listed on page 7 of this document.

    SOMERSET ISLAND, SANS SOUCI GEORGIAN BAY, ONTARIO, CANADA ISLAND B-195, PCL 566 S/S TOWNSHIP OF THE ARCHIPELAGO (CONGER), DISTRICT OF PARRY SOUND LEGAL DESCRIPTION: ISLAND B-195, PCL 566 S/S. TOWNSHIP OF THE ARCHIPELAGO (CONGER), DISTRICT OF PARRY SOUND REGION: CANADA LOCATION: GEORGIAN BAY SIZE: 20 ACRES, APPROX. 4,500 SQ. FT., 17 ROOMS AGE: 51+ YEARS OWNER: PAUL MICHAEL TRUST, PMT XII LLC ZONING: R02 GEORGIAN BAY NAME • Georgian Bay was charted by Captain Henry W. Bayfield of the Royal Navy in 1822, he named the area after King George IV. The area of Georgian Bay located in the District of Muskoka was formed on January 1st, 1971 due to the amalgamation of several regional governments. The District of Muskoka portion of Georgian Bay includes many of the tens of thousands of islands that dot the uneven shoreline. In 1991 there were 2,069 permanent residence and 14,238 seasonal. • Imagine being in a position to choose virtually any island in Sans Souci at the turn of the 20th century! In 1902 a railroad Baron from Cleveland purchased Somerset Island from the Crown as it was one of the grand islands of the area. One hundred years later, it remains eminently clear why he made Somerset his choice. Comprising more than 20 acres, with two natural harbours, densely covered in original growth white pine and a completely unobstructed view to the west. • Comprising a total of 20 acres, Somerset is actually two distinct sections of land joined by a low lying rock cleft. The island’s present zoning designation of R2 would allow for a severance essentially creating roughly a 12 and an 8 acre parcel.

This is an invitation for your government to work with our Iroquoian communities in partnership to make your fine words become a reality for our People. It is a challenge to you and your government to put action behind your words and promises. It is an opportunity for you, Mr. Prime Minister to show respect for and honour past treaties. Before and after your election, you and your Cabinet have made many positive statements about its relationship with Indigenous Peoples. The following is a summary of some of those statements and commitments.
