Since then Community and International Education Services has, and is still in the process of organizational change which involves integrating physically and philosophically into a singular grouping that provides a better set of programs, services and partnerships to support clients. Community and International Education Services is a very large service centre serving over 45,000 students through 1,500 teachers/instructors (pre-kindergarten to adult). At a quick glance, CIES: • supports students and clients with 30 different programs, services and partnerships; • uses approximately 100 locations (Board and leased sites); • has most of its full-time infrastructure at the Dr. Bette Stephenson Centre for Learning; and • operates 12 months of the year, with a budget of approximately $ 13,000,000. The purpose of this report is to update the Board of Trustees of the progress as the Community and International Education Services continues to move forward. Rationale: “Community and International Education Services support the achievement, well-being, and life-long learning of the diverse communities through our programs, services and partnerships.” With this philosophy in mind, it is important to remember: • the wide range of students from pre-Kindergarten to seniors and members of the community; • the wide range of programs from credit bearing to non-credit general interest to courses; and • the wide range of services from employment support and newcomer orientation locally in York Region, to language and literacy development globally beyond Canada. Supporting the achievement, well-being, and life-long learning of the diverse communities through our programs, services and partnershipsPage 1 Through reorganization, Community and International Education Services is integrating and streamlining without reducing the variety of programs, services and partnerships that are provided to clients. Programs, Services and Partnerships Community and International Education Services has organized 29 programs, services and partnerships which can be grouped into the following three major areas: • 13 Programs – Non-credit; • 10 Programs – Credit; and • 7 Services and Partnerships – Community and International. Please refer to Appendix 1 for the Program Organization Chart. Some of the highlights on Community and International Education Services programs, services and partnerships, including new initiatives and refinements, are as follows: New Initiatives • reorganizing the summer learning infrastructure – integrating Building Blocks for Kindergarten, Summer Institute, Summer English Language Academy, Elementary, Secondary and Adult Summer School, and Summer Teaching Abroad, servicing 14,800 students; • incorporating credit recovery opportunities into summer learning – personalizing programs for students (with expanded teacher resources and support to students) to align with Ministry protocol: Growing Success, 2010; • expanding the Adult English as a Second Language and Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) programs - partnering with Citizenship and Immigration Canada to provide more English as a Second Language classes at the new Reception and Welcome Centres; and • expanding the services provided by the Reception Centre to two new locations – Markham South and Richmond Hill (see Facilities section). Refinements • reorganizing and aligning the hiring and staffing processes within Community and International Education Services – ensuring consistency between different areas (e.g. Continuing Education Services, e-Learning, International Languages posting and selection process, pay scales); • aligning all night school and summer school credit-bearing programs to day school standard of 110-hours; Supporting the achievement, well-being, and

  • Bayview Avenue Extension Project
    Bayview Avenue Extension Project Submission to:: Transportation Association of Canada for the Environmental Achievement Award 2002 Abstract The Bayview Avenue Extension project is a deserving candidate for the 2002 Environmental Achievement Award for its innovative design used to minimize environmental impacts, at the same time, improving environmental features and enhancing knowledge of locally significant ecosystem elements, in particular a nationally threatened amphibian species. The project features these innovative environmental achievements: Environmentally Responsible Road Alignment successfully mitigated impacts to the nearby Jefferson Forest, Lake Wilcox, Forester March and adjacent wetland areas. Wetland Habitat Creation Project led to the development of diverse habitat zones for a variety of animal and plant species. Amphibian Roadway Crossings were specifically designed to protect and enhance the amphibian population, in particular the Jefferson Salamander, while adding to research and knowledge base of a rare, nationally threatened species. Jefferson Ravine Bridge Crossing provides unimpeded passage for large and small mammals, including white-tailed deer, reptiles and amphibians, working with existing topography to achieve a unique crossing feature. Extensive Vegetation and Landscaping Enhancements screen nearby sensitive areas from roadway intrusions and provided intensified buffering to disturbed areas. Detailed Environmental Analysis was completed to ensure complete compliance with environmental legislation for the Oak Ridges Moraine. Project Details - Bayview Avenue Extension • Four-kilometre, two-lane rural arterial road • Grading constructed for an ultimate four-lane facility • Located within the Town of Richmond Hill and is situated on the Oak Ridges Moraine • Total gross expenditures for the project approximately $ 16 million • Fully funded and maintained by the Regional Municipality of York.

    THE HUMBER RIVER: THE 10-YEAR MONITORING REPORT FOR THE CANADIAN HERITAGE RIVERS SYSTEM October 2009 Lower Humber Valley, Toronto, TRCA, 2008 THE HUMBER CHALLENGE Our challenge is to protect and enhance the Humber River watershed as a vital and healthy ecosystem where we live, work and play in harmony with the natural environment.

First the stretch of the river valley as I knew it best, running south from Dundas Street to my beloved stone marvel of the Old Mill Bridge, a scant mile to the south, not forgetting to count a quarter-mile jog to the east halfway down to heighten the wonderment. What force of ten million years’ cunning erosion, the relentless path of an awkward giant carving out for himself great steps one by one as he strides on and on, thirsty now for a great cold draught of Lake Ontario water!

The SNAP brings together residents, businesses, community groups and government agencies to develop a science-based action plan for change that fits the needs of the neighbourhood.
