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.

  • Dodging the 'Perfect Storm'
    Dodging the ‘Perfect Storm’ Conservation Ontario’s Business Case for Strategic Reinvestment in Ontario’s Flood Management Programs, Services, and Structures September 2013 Introduction Flooding in Calgary, Alberta and more recently in Toronto, Ontario reminds us just how vulnerable we are when it comes to extreme weather events. The loss of life, devastation, long term social and economic disruption and the staggering cleanup costs in the aftermath of these floods clearly demonstrates how essential it is to have actionable guidelines, policies and programs in place to manage these events. Flooding in downtown Calgary (2013). Source: CTV News Flooding on the Don Valley Parkway, Toronto (2013). Source: CTV News 1 Dodging the ‘Perfect Storm’ – Conservation Ontario’s Business Case for Strategic Reinvestment in Ontario’s Flood Management Programs and Services, and Structures (2013) In Ontario, flooding is the leading cause of public emergency.1 To date, Ontario’s programs to manage floods and regulate floodplains have proven extremely effective and, indeed, the Ontario government has been a leading jurisdiction in Canada for flood planning and management. While much has been accomplished, several factors, if not addressed directly and quickly, will significantly jeopardize the ability of Conservation Authorities and all levels of governments to maintain and improve on this level of management and protection. Flood management is a shared responsibility in Ontario and Conservation Authorities are on the front lines of the Provincial Flood Forecasting and Warning program. In addition, Conservation Authorities bring added protection and benefits through watershed planning, watershed stewardship/natural heritage system management, monitoring and many other programs they deliver.

  • Ant-Like Flower Beetles (Coleoptera: Anthicidae) of the Uk, Ireland and Channel Isles
    BR. J. ENT. NAT. HIST., 23: 2010 99 ANT-LIKE FLOWER BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: ANTHICIDAE) OF THE UK, IRELAND AND CHANNEL ISLES DMITRY TELNOV Stopinu novads, Darza iela 10, LV-2130, Dzidrinas, Latvia; E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Anthicidae or ant-like flower beetles of the UK, Ireland and Channel Isles are reviewed. A species list, identification key, short diagnoses and illustrations of all taxa are given. Brief information on known ecological preferences of species is given. Key words: identification, distribution, key, United Kingdom, Ireland, fauna, ecology. INTRODUCTION Anthicidae are a cosmopolitan family of small to medium-sized, fast-moving beetles of the superfamily Tenebrionoidea. Anthicidae are represented in the World fauna by approximately 100 genera, and about 3500 species (Chandler, 2010). Only a few species are known from the fossil record. The last revision of the British Anthicidae was published by F. D. Buck (1954) in the well-known series Handbooks for the Identification of British Insects. Since then, there have been numerous nomenclatural changes within Anthicidae, and some additional species (introduced) have been recorded from the UK, making Buck’s key out of date. During 2004 and 2005 a total of 3356 specimens of Anthicidae from the UK and Ireland were examined by the author, mainly from the collections of The Natural History Museum (London), Oxford University Museum of Natural History and National Museum of Ireland. Additional data for more than 2100 specimens were received from other British museums and private collections between 2005 and 2007. A new key and short diagnoses for the genera are presented, as well as data on habitats and general distribution of species.

  • What Was the Iroquois Confederacy?
    04 AB6 Ch 4.11 4/2/08 11:22 AM Page 82 What was the 4 Iroquois Confederacy? Chapter Focus Questions •What was the social structure of Iroquois society? •What opportunities did people have to participate in decision making? •What were the ideas behind the government of the Iroquois Confederacy? The last chapter explored the government of ancient Athens. This chapter explores another government with deep roots in history: the Iroquois Confederacy. The Iroquois Confederacy formed hundreds of years ago in North America — long before Europeans first arrived here. The structure and principles of its government influenced the government that the United States eventually established. The Confederacy united five, and later six, separate nations. It had clear rules and procedures for making decisions through representatives and consensus. It reflected respect for diversity and a belief in the equality of people. Pause The image on the side of this page represents the Iroquois Confederacy and its five original member nations. It is a symbol as old as the Confederacy itself. Why do you think this symbol is still honoured in Iroquois society? 82 04 AB6 Ch 4.11 4/2/08 11:22 AM Page 83 What are we learning in this chapter? Iroquois versus Haudenosaunee This chapter explores the social structure of Iroquois There are two names for society, which showed particular respect for women and the Iroquois people today: for people of other cultures. Iroquois (ear-o-kwa) and Haudenosaunee It also explores the structure and processes of Iroquois (how-den-o-show-nee). government. Think back to Chapter 3, where you saw how Iroquois is a name that the social structure of ancient Athens determined the way dates from the fur trade people participated in its government.

  • One River Master Plan Environmental Assessment Study
    Environmental Assessment Study 3. Study Area Existing Conditions 3.1 Natural Environment The Thames River, which flows through the City of London, is one of the largest river systems in Southern Ontario. The North and South Branches of the Thames River converge near the City’s downtown area at a location commonly referred to as “the Forks”. The Thames River was recognized as a Canadian Heritage River in 2000, and is acknowledged to be a river of great natural, cultural, and recreational importance. The river plays a significant role in the lives of people in the City of London (Dillon et al., 2011). The Thames River watershed lies within in the Carolinian Zone (Eco Region 7E), which extends through southern Ontario from Toronto to Windsor. This ecozone is the most populated zone in Canada, containing 25% of the Canadian population in only 0.25 percent of the Canada’s land mass. The Carolinian Zone hosts more species than any other region in Canada (Carolinian Canada Coalition, 2016), including many endangered and threatened species. Ongoing conservation measures, and expanding urban populations and development makes this zone unique for governance and regulatory agencies. An overview and description of the natural environment conditions in the One River Study Area are detailed in the River Characterization (Appendix A-1) and Natural Heritage Summary (Appendix A-2) reports. Information for these reports was gathered from previous environmental studies completed by the City, UTRCA and other consultants. To supplement existing data for the One River EA, localized environmental field programs focusing on the river and aquatic environment were completed in 2017 and 2018.
