CARRIED _________________________________________ 192 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY ACTION RES.#B58/13 - GREENLANDS ACQUISITION PROJECT 2011-2015 Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Rouge River Watershed Geranium Homes (Ninth Line) Limited, CFN 49273. Acquisition of property located west of Ninth Line and north of Millard Street (north of Main Street) in the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville, Regional Municipality of York, under the "Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2011-2015", Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Rouge River watershed. Moved by: Michael Di Biase Seconded by: Ronald Chopowick THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT 4.29 hectares (10.6 acres), more or less, of vacant land, being Part of Lot 2, Concession 8 and designated as Part 1 on 65R-34182, Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville, Regional Municipality of York, be purchased from Geranium Homes (Ninth Line) Limited; THAT the purchase price be $2.00; THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) receive conveyance of the land free from encumbrance, subject to existing service easements; THAT the firm of Gardiner Roberts LLP, be instructed to complete the transaction at the earliest possible date. All reasonable expenses incurred incidental to the closing for land transfer tax, legal costs, and disbursements are to be paid; AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take the necessary action to finalize the transaction including obtaining needed approvals and signing and execution of documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND Resolution #A94/10 at Authority Meeting #5/10, held on June 25, 2010, approved the Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2011-2015. As a condition of a subdivision agreement, Geranium Homes (Ninth Line) Ltd. is to transfer the valleylands to TRCA for a nominal consideration of $2.00. Negotiations have been conducted with Law Clerk, Ms. Grace McNamara of Jeffrey P. Shankman, Barrister and Solicitor, representative of the owner. Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands. 193 RATIONALE The subject property falls within TRCA’s approved master plan for acquisition for the Rouge River watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2011-2015. Through the review of the subdivision, TRCA staff established the limits of the open space lands (i.e. Part 1 on 65R-34182) on the Oak Ridges Moraine which is comprised primarily of valleylands. The subject property also contains a tributary to the Little Rouge Creek. This tributary has been identified as potential Redside Dace habitat, a species protected under the Endangered Species Act, 2007. The tributary is also designated as a Hydrologically Significant Feature by the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. TAXES AND MAINTENANCE Based on preliminary review of the environmental criteria for lands that are eligible to receive a property tax exemption under the provincial Conservation Land Tax Incentive Program, it would appear that all of the subject property would be eligible for exemption for the 2014 taxation year. The addition of the subject parcel of land will not significantly impact TRCA's maintenance costs at this location. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds for the costs related to this purchase are available in the TRCA land acquisition capital account.

Moved by: Michael Di Biase Seconded by: Ronald Chopowick THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT 0.20 hectares (0.49 acres), more or less, of vacant land being Part of Lot 6, Concession 1 and designated as Part 4 on Plan 40R-27898, Town of Ajax, Regional Municipality of Durham, located south of Highway No. 401, east of Salem Road (200 Achilles Road) , be purchased from 3E Capital Inc.; THAT the purchase price be $2.00; THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) receive conveyance of the lands free from encumbrance, subject to existing service easements; THAT Gardiner Roberts LLP, be instructed to complete the transaction at the earliest possible date.

CARRIED BACKGROUND Resolution #A94/10 at Authority Meeting #5/10, held on June 25, 2010, approved the Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2011-2015. Negotiations have been conducted with Mr. John Wright of Beard Winter LLP, Lawyers, who acts as agent on behalf of the owner. Since TRCA does not presently own any adjoining property, a temporary access easement over the adjoining industrial lot will be granted to TRCA as part of this transaction in order to periodically inspect and maintain the lands. Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands. RATIONALE The subject property falls within TRCA's approved master plan for acquisition for the Carruthers Creek watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2011-2015.

  • Toronto Has No History!’
    ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY By Victoria Jane Freeman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto ©Copyright by Victoria Jane Freeman 2010 ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY Doctor of Philosophy 2010 Victoria Jane Freeman Graduate Department of History University of Toronto The Indigenous past is largely absent from settler representations of the history of the city of Toronto, Canada. Nineteenth and twentieth century historical chroniclers often downplayed the historic presence of the Mississaugas and their Indigenous predecessors by drawing on doctrines of terra nullius , ignoring the significance of the Toronto Purchase, and changing the city’s foundational story from the establishment of York in 1793 to the incorporation of the City of Toronto in 1834. These chroniclers usually assumed that “real Indians” and urban life were inimical. Often their representations implied that local Indigenous peoples had no significant history and thus the region had little or no history before the arrival of Europeans. Alternatively, narratives of ethical settler indigenization positioned the Indigenous past as the uncivilized starting point in a monological European theory of historical development. i i iii In many civic discourses, the city stood in for the nation as a symbol of its future, and national history stood in for the region’s local history. The national replaced ‘the Indigenous’ in an ideological process that peaked between the 1880s and the 1930s.

  • Beaches Plan Plan Decemberjanuary 2009 2008 Marie Curtis Park  Message from the Mayor
    ROUGE · BLUFFER’S PARK · BALMY – KEW · WOODBINE · greatbeaches... great city, CHERRY · WARD’S ISLAND · TORONTO BEACHES PLAN TORONTO BEACHES PLAN CENTRE ISLAND · GIBRALTAR POINT · HANLAN’S POINT December January · SUNNYSIDE · 2009 EAST 2008 MARIE CURTIS PARK MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR Revitalizing Toronto’s waterfront is a priority for all Torontonians. Ensuring that our beaches are clean and accessible is essential to making that revitalization happen. As places to play and enjoy nature, they contribute to and enhance the quality of life in Toronto. Because of the tremendous importance of beaches, it’s not surprising that Toronto is so focused on creating great public spaces along the waterfront and making our beaches more swimmable. As Founding Chair of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative, I know that communities within this region are taking steps to improve their beaches. As Canada’s biggest city, we must lead by example. I’m proud that Toronto was the first community in Canada to certify its swimming beaches under the international Blue Flag program. The Blue Flag has now been raised at six of our beaches. This is a great start, but we shouldn’t be satisfied until all of our beaches are certified – and until every beach is open for swimming every day during the summer. We’ve made great progress over the past five years in improving Toronto’s beaches. The Toronto Beaches Plan lays out the actions needed to make our beaches cleaner, safer, more usable, more accessible and greener. It’s a broad agenda, ranging from water quality to amenities to programming.

  • The Toronto Ravines Study: 1977-2017 Long-Term Changes in the Biodiversity and Ecological Integrity of Toronto’S Ravines
    The Toronto Ravines Study: 1977-2017 Long-term Changes in the Biodiversity and Ecological Integrity of Toronto’s Ravines Eric Davies, Anqi Dong, Catherine Berka, Paul Scrivener, Dale Taylor, Sandy M Smith Faculty of Forestry, University of Toronto - July 2018 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This report would not have come into being without the work of the many individuals who dedicated endless volunteer hours to its realization. Our thanks to: The originators of the 1977 study, our co-authors Paul Scrivener and Dale Taylor, for sticking with the project over the past 40 years, and for getting it going again. Dale and Paul provided the team with a real-life example of ‘citizen science’ in action, and a generational timeline to the past. They made this project an adventure for all of us. Good stewardship of the land is a lifelong affair, and Dale and Paul have exemplified that commitment beyond all expectations. Esther McNeil for walking into the University of Toronto, Faculty of Forestry six years ago and asking: “How can I help save the Toronto ravines?” Esther inspired us to start working in the Toronto ravines, which ultimately led to this project, this report, and a renewed interest in ravine conservation. Catherine Berka for jumping with two feet into this project from day one, and for providing an endless source of positivity, leadership, humour, community outreach, and every day hard work. The project would simply not be what it is today without the heart and soul of our other co-author, Catherine. This project has benefited tremendously from the expertise, cooperation, and guidance of many people, especially in The City of Toronto, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, local nature groups, and countless citizens.
