SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY ACTION

RES.#A4/13 - HARBOURFRONT CENTRE PARTNERSHIP A partnership with Harbourfront Centre to deliver new pilot environmental education projects.

Moved by: Paul Ainslie Seconded by: Gloria Lindsay Luby

2 WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and Harbourfront Centre have partnered, incorporating the talents and resources of both organizations, to deliver two unique educational initiatives for the creative delivery of public environmental education, inclusive of implementing a high profile public art project, and conducting a nature-based youth camp program and waterfront event for children;

WHEREAS TRCA and Harbourfront Centre have been able to obtain private funding for a new public art project on the Toronto waterfront, and developed an agreed revenue-sharing model for the children youth camp initiative;

THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the new partnership between Harbourfront Centre and TRCA be endorsed and that staff be directed to complete the agreements to coordinate the implementation of the two key education projects, and to financially manage the resources for successful project completion as set out in the staff report. CARRIED BACKGROUND TRCA is embarking on an exciting, new working partnership with Harbourfront Centre. Located on a 10 acre site on Toronto’s waterfront, Harbourfront Centre is an innovative non-profit organization that provides renowned programming in the arts, culture, education and recreation all within a wide variety of venues.

Our joint initiatives include, first, an outdoor public art and environmental education display located in the heart of the harbourfront; and the second is a unique nature-based joint overnight summer camp program and eco-day event oriented for children and youth in the City of Toronto. This report provides a brief synopsis of the current status of these two creative new projects, which blend the skills of both Harbourfront Centre and TRCA staff in project implementation, and capitalize on the reputation and client market share that both agencies bring to the assignment success. Both projects are described below.

1. Public Art Outdoor Exhibit The first joint project with Harbourfront Centre focuses on the design and installation of a bold new public art project at their waterfront location.

Four years ago, Harbourfront Centre built the largest outdoor photographic exhibit in Canada, located along the harbour promenade. The first exhibit was on Canada's Boreal Forest, receiving financial assistance from both the Government of Canada and the Province of . The second year highlighted the richness of the Greenbelt; and last year's exhibit entitled 'Uncharted Waters', investigated Toronto's harbour and the Port Authority activities. These exhibits were totally funded by the Ontario Greenbelt Foundation and the Toronto Port Authority, respectively. Many of the images for this exhibit included large scale photos that were taken with TRCA staff assistance, highlighting TRCA's work in locations around the harbour.

The Harbourfront Centre design team advocate that environmental issues and ideas can educate and be brought forward to the public eye as engaging, provocative images, with underlying messages, as opposed to traditional forms of nature appreciation and education. The team of artists were thrilled with the participation of TRCA staff who took the photographers to places of special interest and key sites where conservation work was being carried out in locations that were not known to the general public. 3 The Proposal These past outdoor exhibits at Harbourfront Centre have been so well received by the public that Harbourfront Centre staff is planning a new 2-year exhibit featuring the rivers of Toronto and the region. The proposed first-year exhibition concept is entitled 'Nine Rivers City', and is targeted to open at the site of two new urban waterfront parks located adjacent to the Harbourfront Centre head office at 235 Queen's Quay West. Year two exhibition will be completely different with different artists and is still under discussion with TRCA.

For both exhibits, TRCA will assist several artists in telling the story of the rivers and watersheds through site visits, operational shadowing and city/river explorations. The photography sessions, for year one, commenced in the late fall 2012 and will continue throughout this year.

In June 2013, coinciding with the opening of Nine Rivers City, Harbourfront Centre will launch two new major public squares at the center of its waterfront site: Canada Square fronting on Lake Ontario and Ontario Square facing a revitalized Queens Quay Boulevard. More than 10 years in the making and replacing a surface parking lot which has now become a 300 space underground garage, the two squares were designed by Michael Van Valkenburgh and Associates with funding from the Government of Canada and Province of Ontario. Canada Square will feature an oval design of large scale metasequoia (Redwood) trees and be a contemplative space by Lake Ontario. Ontario Square encompasses 450 aspen trees and plantings based on the Boreal Forest and will be an active space for cultural programmes. Nine Rivers City will be installed in the central space between the two new squares.

An excerpt from Harbourfront Centre's Exhibit description is provided below.

Excerpt: Areas of Exhibition Focus

Nine Rivers City: Toronto’s Uncommon Waterways will focus on the importance of the nine rivers which define the greater Toronto region. Through highlighting the visual stories of our unique rivers system, we hope to engage the public in many of the significant issues which underlie the protection and conservation of the fragile natural systems which we must rely on for the future. The exhibition will incorporate people and their personal stories to delve into many of the complex areas of the rivers system. We hope to project the natural beauty of the rivers, the complicated history of the natural environment, the reshaping and improving of the rivers landscape, the working and recreational aspects of the rivers area and how the rivers system is one of the fundamental structures feeding the current and future natural health of the Toronto region. Two artists will be asked to concentrate on each of the four theme areas in order to ensure that the overall exhibition meets the project objectives.

The four general areas of importance that the artists will be asked to explore are:

River History: heritage, cultural, historical, artifacts

Nature and the River: birdlife, fish/streams, conservation, wildlife protection, urban ecology, fishing, habitat, wildlife management, research,

4 River Landscape: urban forestry, green space and forest restoration, wetland restoration, green space acquisition, new river corridors,

People of the River: water managers, people from around the world, conservation officers, first nations, park employees, fisherman,

To help the 6 selected artists get oriented, TRCA senior staff organized an artist/staff workshop where participants brainstormed potential sites and activities of interest for photo-shoots at different watershed landscape locations across the TRCA jurisdiction. Staff is arranging the logistics for the artists around getting out to see archaeological excavation works, monitoring sites, restoration planting, river remedial construction, park and trail activities and others.

Harbourfront Centre Chief Executive Director, William Boyle and Head of Visual Arts, Patrick Macauley will lead the project with TRCA and will provide all artistic direction and exhibit management.

This project is a different twist on how to provide environmental education through a high profile public art exhibit highlighting the city and its rivers, TRCA's work and people/activities within the urban watersheds.

2. Joint Education Program for Children/Youth The second project with Harbourfront Centre focuses on new children’s education programs, integrating our combined educational staff talents and capitalizing on two outstanding locations – the waterfront and TRCA’s beautiful Lake St. George Field Centre.

We are developing two key partnership initiatives: a joint art and environment education day in June at the Harbourfront Centre and an 8-week summer camp at Lake St. George.

Lake St. George Field Centre Camps Harbourfront Centre is offering eight weeks of overnight summer camps for youth age 8 to 14 at Lake St. George Field Centre. Camp themes are linked to the unique natural features and programming available at Lake St. George and will be delivered by both TRCA and Harbourfront Centre staff. For 2013, camp programs include:  Eco Explorers Camp (Ages 8 - 12);  Camp Adventure (Ages 9 - 11);  Leadership Camp (Ages 12 - 14).

A first year target of 25 campers per week has been set, with a plan to grow participation in the camp in future years.

Camp programming will build on the strengths and expertise of both TRCA and Harbourfront Centre and provide new opportunities to engage youth from Toronto in outdoor experiences at TRCA education centres.

5 Eco-Day 2013 On June 3, 2013, TRCA and Harbourfront Centre will launch the first Eco-Day at the Harbourfront Centre. Co-programmed by TRCA and the Harbourfront Centre, this special event will engage 300 students from 10 classes within Toronto and provide a range of environmental and water-themed programming. TRCA and Harbourfront Centre staff are currently finalizing program details, including elements of a Children's Water Festival in partnership with the Children's Water Education Council, and a proposed partnership with the Greenbelt Foundation.

The Eco-Day at Harbourfront Centre will provide TRCA with an expanded education presence within the City of Toronto, engage students on the waterfront, and provide a model for future education collaboration at the Harbourfront Centre.

FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding for the Harbourfront Centre/TRCA two year art exhibition project has been provided by a major sponsorship from Menkes Development and additional support from Epson and SAJO Inc. as well as the staff resources of Harbourfront Centre and TRCA.

For the education program, Harbourfront Centre and TRCA organizers have put in place a revenue sharing model whereby TRCA is recovering a per camper fee based on TRCA's regular Field Centre overnight camp fees for the summer camp program, and a per student cost recovery for TRCA programs related to the Eco-Day.

RES.#A5/13 - TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY STRATEGIC PLAN 2013 Update. Review and further discussion of the draft 2013 Toronto and Region Conservation Authority strategic plan.

Moved by: Deb Schulte Seconded by: Vincent Crisanti

WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff has developed an update to the TRCA strategic plan to set the strategic directions for TRCA for the next ten years;

THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the draft 2013 TRCA strategic plan be reviewed by the Authority and further discussed at Authority Meeting #2/13, scheduled to be held on March 22, 2013. CARRIED 6 BACKGROUND Moving Toward The Living City, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority strategic plan, was approved by the Authority in 2006. The plan set the direction for TRCA to work towards The Living City vision:

The quality of life on Earth is being determined in rapidly expanding city regions. Our vision is for a new kind of community, The Living City, where human settlement can flourish forever as part of nature’s beauty and diversity.

Moving Toward The Living City described how TRCA would build on its traditional strengths to help the Toronto region respond to critical issues such as climate change, the environmental footprint of the city region and a changing economy. TRCA would continue its tradition of strong water management, biodiversity, recreation and education programs, while providing sustainability leadership and assistance in other areas to help put the region on a more sustainable path.

Seven years later, TRCA has contributed significantly to regional sustainability while continuing to build its core programs. However, TRCA, the region, and the world have evolved. It is time to update the strategic directions of TRCA to ensure that it remains relevant and effective. The 2013 TRCA strategic plan sets the direction for TRCA to maximize its contributions towards the ongoing development of a sustainable city region.

RATIONALE Staff, under the direction of the CEO, has developed the draft strategic plan over a period of several months. More than 70 staff members contributed directly to the plan’s development, and still other TRCA staff, staff from partner municipalities and outside experts were consulted. The planning process included assessment of TRCA and its current programs, the priorities of its municipal partners, conditions within and outside the region, and changes we may anticipate over the next decades. The outcome was the identification of twelve priority strategies for TRCA and key actions supporting each strategy that will guide TRCA work for the next decade.

The 2013 strategic plan, in identifying TRCA’s most important strategic directions and priority actions, will align TRCA to a common purpose. It will increase efficiency, prevent redundancy and facilitate internal cooperation, which are increasingly important given the growth within TRCA. It will also promote a culture of strategic thinking and innovation within TRCA, to ensure that we continually consider the lasting value TRCA must provide to our partners and the communities we serve.

Finalizing the 2013 strategic plan is only the first step toward putting it into practice. Building on the success of a staff-centred planning process, the plan’s implementation will involve staff from across TRCA groups and divisions. Together, staff will monitor, evaluate and report on TRCA's actions internally and to our partners, and adjust TRCA's strategies as required to reflect lessons learned and new information. TRCA will also completely review the plan within five years and make long-term course corrections as needed.

7 NEXT STEPS The draft 2013 strategic plan is now ready for review and input from the Authority, and staff is ready to begin implementation immediately upon its completion. The Authority will receive the draft plan at this meeting and will be introduced to its content by the CEO and staff. It is requested that Members review the draft plan over the next month and participate in a structured discussion at the March 22, 2013 Authority meeting to provide comment.

(3) An authority shall, upon receipt of the auditors report of the examination of its accounts and transactions, forthwith forward a copy of the report to each participating municipality and to the Minister. R.S.O. 1990, c. C.27, s. 38 (3).

At Authority Meeting #8/10, held on October 29, 2010, Resolution #A182/10 was approved, in part, as follows:

8 THAT the contract for Audit Services be awarded to Grant Thornton at an initial annual cost not to exceed $46,725.00, plus applicable taxes for 2010 and an annual increase of two to four per cent for the following four years, for Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and The Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto (CFGT);

THAT, pursuant to Section 38 of the Conservation Authorities Act, the firm of Grant Thornton be appointed auditors of TRCA, effective November 1, 2010;

THAT the term of the engagement be for five years subject to annual appointments by the Authority based on satisfactory performance; ...

RATIONALE Grant Thornton LLP has been appointed TRCA's auditor since 2004, following a competition for audit services conducted in the summer of 2004 and the summer of 2010. Although the contract period is for five years starting with 2010, the annual reappointment is subject to performance satisfactory to TRCA. Staff is pleased to report that the most recent audit was completed to its satisfaction and it anticipates similar performance for 2013.

Staff recommends the reappointment of Grant Thornton LLP for the 2013 audit year, as required by the Rules of Conduct.
