Rethink LONDON DISCUSSION PAPERS JUNE 11, 2013 Page 1 of 117 11 B.3 - CW ACTION COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE For meeting to be held on: Submitted by: For: June 11, 2013 Durk Vanderwerff, Action Manager of Planning Subject: ReTHINK LONDON DISCUSSION PAPERS BACKGROUND: The City of London has embarked on an effort to replace its 1991 Official Plan in a process called ReThink London. ReThink London is described as follows: “The City of London has embarked on an important city-building initiative – ReThink London. ReThink will set the goals and priorities that will influence the future of the city for years to come. Londoners will take part in a year-long conversation about how we will plan for our future roads, neighbourhoods, workplaces, community facilities, parks, and transportation. The community input received in the development of ReThink London will inform the decisions made by politicians and city planners every day, and is critical in this master planning initiative. The goals and directions we set as a community over the next year will determine how we live, grow, green, move, and prosper as a city. By connecting these five themes, we can build a city that provides an urban life that is second to none.” ReThink London incorporates an extensive public engagement process including the release, for public comment, of eight issue papers with comments requested before the summer. 1. A Prosperous City 2. Connecting the Region 3. Compact City 4. Transportation 5. Greener City of London 6. Culture and Diversity 7. Neighbourhoods 8. Wise Planning .../2 JUNE 11, 2013 Page 2 of 117 11 B.3 - CW ACTION SUBJECT: ReTHINK LONDON DISCUSSION PAPERS ANALYSIS: Staff wanted to ensure that Council is aware of the Re-Think London initiative and the recently released discussion papers. The discussion issue papers are high level documents with broad policy suggestions and generally relate to planning within the City of London. There are however several references to Middlesex County within the papers and potential for implications. For example in the ‘Building a Greener City’ paper reference is made “Explore a strengthened connection to the natural heritage system with our regional partners (Middlesex County, Conservation Authorities, Thames Talbot Land Trust and Thames Canadian Heritage River) to more effectively manage London’s natural heritage system to the benefit of the overall health of ecosystems, watersheds and citizens.”. Another example, in the ‘Providing Transportation Choices’ paper the ‘ring road’ is discussed and reference is made to a 2001 study that concluded that a ring road would not be beneficial for London. Reference is also made to exploring opportunities for an extension of Highway 7 connecting to Highway 402. Finally, the ‘Connecting the Region’ discussion paper may have more direct implications for Middlesex County. The discussion paper includes reference to: “..working with our partners in the County and surrounding cities and towns in order to become collectively stronger and smarter” and speaks to regional tourism and economic development opportunities. The ‘Connecting the Region’ discussion paper also includes reference to a Southwestern Ontario Growth Plan and in this regard states “This idea is in the formative phase. The goal is to initiate discussions with our neighbours and the Province for the purpose of preparing a growth plan for the region. It has seven Strategic Directions: 1 Identify growth principles and objectives for Southwestern Ontario 2 identify places where growth would be directed to 3 noting our strengths, identify economic development opportunities for the region 4 identify supply-side and demand-side growth strategies for the Southwestern Ontario region 5 align municipal planning documents across the region 6 align municipal and provincial infrastructure plans 7 develop a strong, efficient, multi-modal inter-city transportation network.”. For Council’s background, there are currently two provincial growth plans in Ontario – the ‘Growth Plan for Northern Ontario’ and the ‘Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe’. The two growth plans are very different documents with the Northern Ontario document emphasises economic development whereas the Greater Golden Horseshoe document is more prescriptive and brings the province directly into municipal land use planning. The Golden Horseshoe plan emphasis the concentration of growth in larger urban centres and includes municipal population, household and employment forecasts, intensification targets, etc., prepared by the Province. .../3 JUNE 11, 2013 Page 3 of 117 11 B.3 - CW ACTION SUBJECT: ReTHINK LONDON DISCUSSION PAPERS RECOMMENDATION: That the Report entitled “ReTHINK London Discussion Papers” be received.

There has been a very tangible buzz in the community around the topic of London’s future – “where do we want to go and how are we going to get there?” To rest on these successes would be an injustice to the level of engagement we have witnessed and the amount of enthusiasm that you have brought to the process. You have provided us the starting point from where this journey will continue. Now it’s our turn to take what you’ve told us and deliver a Plan that will create the city that you told us ReThinking London that you want. London, we asked, you answered, and this is what we heard. Thank you, London! Why We Plan… Simply put, we plan to define our collective goals and wishes and to set a course that will help us to achieve them. Put another way, we plan so that we can prosper as a community. Planning is something that we all do. For example, planning for our future as a City is much like planning for a long trip. We must first determine our destination. There are many potential destinations, and with a long road ahead, we can easily end our trip in a place that we never anticipated or desired if we don’t start with a plan. That’s why it’s so important to clearly define and understand our desired destination as a community – our vision for London. 3 JUNE 11, 2013 Page 8 of 117 11 B.3 - CW ACTION consistent with a city’s Official Plan.

Thanks are extended to the CHRS for the financial support to complete this ten year monitoring report. Thanks to Andrea McNeil of Parks Canada and Jenny Fay of MNR for guidance and support. Chronological Events Natural Heritage Values 2000-2012 Cultural Heritage Values Recreational Values Thames River Integrity Guidelines Executive Summary Executive Summary The Thames River nomination for inclusion in the Canadian Heritage Rivers System (CHRS) was accepted by the CHRS Board in 1997. The nomination document was produced by the Thames River Coordinating Committee, a volunteer group of individuals and agency representatives, supported by the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority (UTRCA) and Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority (LTVCA). The Thames River and its watershed were nominated on the basis of their significant human heritage features and recreational values. Although the Thames River possesses an outstanding natural heritage which contributes to its human heritage and recreational values, CHRS integrity guidelines precluded nomination of the Thames based on natural heritage values because of the presence of impoundments.

  • Local Water Collaboration to Enhance Community Source Water Protection at Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, Ontario
    Local Water Collaboration to Enhance Community Source Water Protection at Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, Ontario by Natalya Garrod A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Rural Planning and Development Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Natalya Garrod, June, 2020 ABSTRACT LOCAL WATER COLLABORATION TO ENHANCE COMMUNITY SOURCE WATER PROTECTION AT CHIPPEWAS OF THE THAMES FIRST NATION, ONTARIO Natalya Garrod Advisor: University of Guelph, 2020 Professor Sheri Longboat First Nations in Canada are disproportionately affected by chronic drinking water insecurity. Water security, sustainable access to adequate quantities of water of acceptable quality, can be improved through source water protection (SWP). Due to the ubiquitous nature of water, upstream and downstream users must collaborate to ensure successful SWP. The goal of this research is to understand how collaboration between water actors from Chippewas of the Thames First Nations, local conservation authorities and municipalities can support First Nations SWP. A conceptual framework for water governance was created which framed collaboration as both a process and a structure. Key findings include perspectives of water actors towards collaboration, activities that enable collaboration, and challenges that constrain water collaboration. This research defines what collaboration means to water actors, what kinds of collaborations occur, what barriers exist, and helps to inform the development of future water collaboration among multiple actors. iii DEDICATION I would like to dedicate this thesis to my parents, Lynne and Phil Garrod for supporting all my accomplishments, big and small. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to acknowledge and thank the following people: Dr.
