  • Escarpment Geology: Another Part of Our Living Landscape
    Escarpment Geology: Another part of our Living Landscape By Beth Gilhespy : o t o h P e k u D n a i r B : o t o h P It’s a crisp fall day on the Bruce Trail and I’m deep in a valley, about to start my ascent of the Niagara Escarpment. As the path steepens and I begin to lean into the hillside, I notice patches of bright red mud beneath the brown forest soil of the path. Continuing up the slope, the path steepens even more and thin layers of rock slide from under my feet. I thankfully reach a more gentle slope and continue my climb, eventually reaching the base of the prominent grey-white rock face. The Trail takes me up through a crevice and, having passed over boulders and rock fall, I finally reach my destination - the very top of the Niagara Escarpment. My ascent of the Escarpment hasn’t just It’s hard to grasp the time gap between logical time that limits us from seeing it as been a workout – it’s been a journey the formation of the Escarpment’s sedi - part of a living landscape – not just the through 30 million years of the earth’s mentary rock layers and the feature we plants and animals, but the long, slow but history.

    GTA West GTA West Corridor Planning & Environmental Assessment Study – Stage 1 Overview of Environmental Conditions and Constraint Working Paper December 2010 3. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT In order to develop a broad understanding of the natural environment features and functions within the GTA West Preliminary Study Area, relevant, regional-level1 secondary source information was collected and analysed. Secondary source information was obtained primarily from the regional-level Provincial Land Information Ontario (LIO) and Natural Resource Values Information Systems (NRVIS) databases and was augmented with regional-level information from other sources (i.e., municipalities and conservation authorities), as available. The collection and analysis of secondary source information should be seen as the first step in the overall study process. Each subsequent stage builds upon the information and decisions of the preceding step. Therefore, the regional-level information collected during this step of the EA process will be carried forward to subsequent steps of the process, where it will be refined and augmented with more detailed information as needed for evaluating and selecting a preferred Area Transportation System Planning Alternative (Transportation Development Strategy), as well as for the Preliminary Planning Alternative phase. The collection and analysis of secondary source information is a dynamic process. This section will be refined as information is collected. Input will be received from and shared with the public, stakeholders, municipalities and regulatory agencies as new information becomes available. 3.1 PHYSIOGRAPHY AND LANDSCAPE The physical landscape of the Preliminary Study Area is complex and encompasses portions of seven main physiographic regions. The most well-known, the Niagara Escarpment, divides the Preliminary Study Area into two distinct areas.

Look for complete coverage in the next issue of Heritage Matters. In this issue IThe Homewood collection IVisiting the Cheltenham Badlands ITrent University under the modernist microscope www.heritagefdn.on.ca 1 Feature Story A message from The Honourable Lincoln M. Alexander, Chairman The changing face of heritage, Page 2 Toronto-Dominion Centre We are blessed in this province to have such a tremendous scope of architecture – from courthouses and places of worship to skyscrapers and factories. Architecture, in all its forms, remains a profound inspiration and an extraordinary discovery. All across Ontario, people comment on the tremendous range of architectural styles we offer – from Georgian or Victorian landmarks to modern behemoths of glass and steel. We are at an extraordinary crossroads when buildings such as the Toronto- Dominion Centre can be seen as changing the face of heritage. New buildings do not detract from the old. On the contrary, the two forms live together in a remarkable harmony, a symmetry that feeds on each other to create a mélange of architectural styles. These combined styles reflect the enterprising people we were in the past, and the innovative people we have become today. We must embrace this dichoto - my to preserve this unique heritage. Moreover, heritage preservation received an added boost with the recent passing of the new Ontario Heritage Heritage Act (which received royal assent in April).
