(Stantec) was retained by Metrolinx to complete environmental studies to support planned improvements for the Lincolnville Layover and Go Station site. According to Ontario Regulation (O. Reg.) 157/10 (Government of Ontario 2014b), Metrolinx is identified as a prescribed public body for the purposes of Part III.1 of the Ontario Heritage Act (Government of Ontario 2009). As such, Metrolinx is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of a cultural heritage conservation policy and procedure for the identification and management of provincial heritage properties. As well, section B.4 of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Sport (MTCS) Standards and Guidelines for Conservation of Provincial Heritage Properties (Standards and Guidelines), applies to all Metrolinx properties (MTCS 2010). In addition, assessment was conducted to meet the requirements of Section 2.6.1 of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) (Government of Ontario 2014a) made under the Planning Act (Government of Ontario 1990). The purpose of this Cultural Heritage Screening Report (CHSR) is to screen the Cultural Heritage study area for properties with known or potential cultural heritage value or interest (CHVI) and make recommendations for further study, as appropriate. Further study would include completion of a Cultural Heritage Evaluation Report (CHER) and Cultural Heritage Evaluation (CHE) Recommendations Report for each property identified as having known or potential CHVI as per the Metrolinx Interim Cultural Heritage Management Process (2013). Under the Metrolinx Terms of Reference, there are three possible outcomes when identifying CHVI during the screening process: 1. Potential Provincial Heritage Property - The property is owned or occupied by Metrolinx, and the answer to at least one screening question is ‘yes’ (except age). 2. Conditional Heritage Property - The property is not owned or occupied by Metrolinx and the answer to at least one question is ‘yes’ (except age). 3. Adjacent Land - The property is adjacent to a protected heritage property. This CHSR considers all properties within 50 metres (m) of the existing Lincolnville Layover Facility. The CHSR was conducted by Meaghan Rivard, Senior Cultural Heritage Specialist, Heidy Schopf, Cultural Heritage Specialist, and Laura Walter, Cultural Heritage Specialist Assistant, all with Stantec Consulting Ltd. The site visit was conducted on November 7th, 2016. () Stantec i LINCOLNVILLE GO STATION IMPROVEMENTS: CULTURAL HERITAGE SCREENING REPORT A total of 12 properties were screened as part of this study. Of these, five were found to be Conditional Heritage Properties. These include: • 13121 Tenth Line • 13203 Tenth Line • 2299 York Durham Line • 2499 York Durham Line • 2699 York Durham Line All planned improvements for the Lincolnville Layover and Go Station site are expected to take place within the existing Lincolnville GO Station Site. Accordingly, CHERs are not recommended for the five Conditional Heritage Resources since no direct or indirect impacts are anticipated to these properties resulting from the proposed work. Should the project location change, or work is proposed within 50 metres of the Conditional Heritage Resources, then drawings of the planned improvements should be reviewed to confirm if impacts are anticipated and if CHERs are required. No further work from a heritage perspective is recommended for the five properties found not to be potential,

Verster April 8, 2019 Confirm Lakeshore East GO Rail Extension The Province’s commitment to delivering the Lakeshore East (LSE) GO rail extension to Bowmanville by 2024 is critical because: • Durham Region is poised for significant growth – almost double by 2041 • Durham is committed to developing transit to • Improve connections • Shape growth • Unlock development potential at new station areas • Is a catalyst to job creation and city building • LSE GO Rail extension is a pillar of our rapid transit network 2 Lakeshore East GO Rail Extension 20 km and 4 new stations by 2024 $550 million investment 3 It’s Durham’s Time • Majority of GO investment in new rail service has been west of Durham • Current ridership on Lakeshore East is roughly double that on Milton and Kitchener lines. • Forecast ridership for LSE stations exceeds stations in Kitchener, Niagara, Gormley 4 Extension Addresses Regional Transportation Challenges • Population growth • Disconnected transit • Congestion • Competitiveness • Demographic change • Urbanization • Clean environment 5 Population Growth Will Create Demand The population east of 2031: 2041: Durham Region 960,000 residents/ 1.2 million residents/ (Northumberland 350,000 jobs 430,000 jobs County, City of Kawartha Lakes, City of Peterborough and County of Peterborough) will account for another 408,000 by 2041.

    The One Toronto Transit Plan the One Toronto Transit Plan

    THE ONE TORONTO TRANSIT PLAN THE ONE TORONTO TRANSIT PLAN As Mayor, John Tory will make Toronto more liveable, affordable and functional. Public transit is at the heart of what it takes to improve Toronto in each of these areas. John Tory’s One Toronto Transit Plan is a collection of initiatives and public transit investments that will get our city moving in seven years, and provide relief to the Yonge-University-Spadina subway line. THE ONE TORONTO PLAN WILL: • Start construction of the Scarborough subway extension immediately. • Engage the City with the Government of Ontario’s and Metrolinx’s plans for Regional Express Rail (RER) – all-day, two-way surface subway service on existing GO track lines with new higher-speed vehicles . • Start with the SmartTrack line as the first RER project, providing 53 km of relief. The SmartTrack line will run from the Airport Corporate Centre in the west, down to Union Station and back up to Markham in the east, with 22 new station stops and four interchanges with the TTC rapid transit network. • Finance the City’s one third of the capital cost of the SmartTrack line without raising property taxes, using tax increment financing. • Provide new express bus services for a segment of travelers that can be moved much quicker if fewer stops are made en route. Examples, which have been discussed, include, Don Mills Road, Dufferin Street and Front Street/Liberty Village. THE ONE TORONTO TRANSIT PLAN BENEFITS ASSOCIATED WITH TORY’S ONE TORONTO TRANSIT RELIEF PLAN INCLUDE: • Bringing relief sooner, to more Torontonians, rather than just the downtown- concentrated proposals of other candidates.

As detailed in the final Terms of Reference for the UTTRI work, this work included: • Confirming the integrated RER and SmartTrack Service Concept to be modelled. • Completion and validation of a new travel demand model system to be used by the City of Toronto in this and similar studies of transit ridership and travel demand.

Executive Summary Delivering the Mandate across Ontario The current position of the Trust builds upon several years of thoughtful examination of the agency’s legislated mandate, how and for whom it is delivered, and why it matters to Ontarians. In 2012 the Trust completed an extensive sustainability review, with a focus on core mandate and an analysis of all revenue and expenditures, as a measure to streamlining expenditures and diversifying the revenue base. The result for the agency was a balanced budget in 2016 and for subsequent years. In 2015 MTCS completed a Mandate Review that confirmed the Trust as a valuable resource in heritage matters, with strong professional and technical knowledge, that is recognized as a centre of specialized expertise in heritage that is not offered elsewhere in the provincial government. Both the Trust and MTCS concluded reviews of the operating model for the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatres and the Trust’s plan for the ongoing operation of the EWG was affirmed by the Ministry in 2018.

    Exhibition Place Master Plan – Phase 1 Proposals Report

    Acknowledgments The site of Exhibition Place has had a long tradition as a gathering place. Given its location on the water, these lands would have attracted Indigenous populations before recorded history. We acknowledge that the land occupied by Exhibition Place is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands. Figure 1.
