  • State of the Wetlands in the Lake Simcoe Watershed Ontario Streams Technical Report No
    July 2018 State of the Wetlands in the Lake Simcoe Watershed Ontario Streams Technical Report No. 2018-01 Alexander Kissel, Habitat Technician & Alice Choi, GIS Technician, Ontario Streams ontariostreams.ca Summary Wetlands in the Lake Simcoe Watershed are critical to the health of the Lake and its surrounding ecosystem. They cover 18.4% of the surface area around the Lake or 52 847 hectares (ha). About 62.4% of these wetlands have been evaluated using the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System (OWES) Southern Manual. The distribution of wetlands vary with fewer and smaller wetlands on the Oak Ridges Moraine (7.1% of surface area), the Schomberg Clay Plains (5.5%) and the uplands west of the the Lake (10.9 to 12.7%), contrasting with the larger valley and shoreline wetlands in the lowlands around the Lake (25.7%). Small wetlands play an important role particularly in the landscapes where they make up a large portion of the wetlands. A high resolution (15 centimetre pixel) analysis of aerial imagery from 1999/2002 to 2013/2016 for the Lake Simcoe Watershed has shown that many small wetland losses, and the occasional larger ones, add up over this time period to a loss of almost eight square kilometres or 773 ha (1.5% of the total wetland area). This loss is higher than previous estimates using lower resolution (30-metre pixel) satellite imagery which cannot pick out the smaller losses that have a large cumulative impact. The highest losses have been from agriculture (46.4% of all losses), following in descending order by residential (10.5%), peat extraction (10.4%), canals (9.6%), highways/roads (6.6%), industrial/commercial (5.7%), fill (4.6%), dug-out ponds (4.3%), recreation (1.6%) and aggregates (0.3%).

The report discusses changes in planning policy related to agricultural and is an update of the year 2006 census information and the ranking of the agricultural lands found within the Town. Changes in several agricultural variables such as number and area of census farms, livestock production as well as gross and net income were summarized and reported graphically. Data used is, for the most part, from Statistics Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. The data supports the view that agriculture remains important within the Town of Innisfil in the context of Simcoe County and the Province of Ontario.

  • LS-012-2020 (Extension of Virtual Council, Board and Committee
    REPORT TO COUNCIL REPORT NUMBER: LS-012-2020 DEPARTMENT: LEGISLATIVE SERVICES – By-law MEETING DATE: August 10, 2020 SUBJECT: Extension of Virtual Council, Board and Committee Meetings RECOMMENDATION: Be It Resolved, that Council of the Township of Clearview hereby support the recommendation from the Medical Officer of Health for Simcoe Muskoka Health Unit and continue to facilitate all council, board and committee meetings electronically. BACKGROUND: On July 20, 2020, Dr. Gardner issued a letter to state gatherings of up to 50 people were permitted in the Province of Ontario, however, the Simcoe Muskoka Health Unit continues its advice to encourage municipal councils to hold electronic meetings rather than in person meetings of any nature. COMMENTS AND ANALYSIS: The health and safety of council, volunteers, members of the public and staff must be taken into consideration when planning any in person interactions. This includes public gatherings of council and board/committee meetings. To date, many municipalities have agreed to continue electronic meetings well into the Fall. This includes the City of Barrie, Oro-medonte, Tiny, Innisfil, Penetanguishene, Collingwood and Midland. The Township of Springwater will be holding electronic meetings for the balance of 2020. There is no doubt COVID 19 pandemic has changed the way municipal government functions. It has been difficult to adjust to the changes, and the Township has had to take a different approach to how we continue operations and services. This includes how council, board and committee meetings are conducted during the pandemic. Staff hope these changes will be temporary in nature and activities can Page 1 of 3 return to “normal” soon upon advice from the appropriate medical officers of health.

  • A Short History of Chief Island 1856-2007 As Prepared by Leclair
    A SHORT HISTORY OF CHIEF ISLAND, 1856-2007 Abstract A brief examination of Chippewas of Rama First Nation’s assertion to title Prepared for Chippewas of Rama First Nation by Leclair Historical Research, June 2021 PRIVILEDGED AND CONFIDENTIAL Introduction In late May 2021 Cathy Edney, Communications Manager, Rama First Nation contacted Leclair Historical Research asking for a primer on the status of Chief Island, Rama Township. Rama First Nation asserts that this island is part of the traditional territory of the Chippewas of Lake Huron and Simcoe, and more specifically, that of Rama First Nation. A search of the historical abstract books for Ramara Township housed at Simcoe County’s Land Registry Office # 51 was also undertaken as a precaution against the question of a title conflict. 1 No cloud on the title to the island was found. In sum, Chief Island has never been covered by treaty and remains Indigenous territory. It has a special significance for Rama First Nation as it has been used as a burial ground for its people for centuries. It is also the final resting place of those ancient ancestors whose care has been entrusted to Rama First Nation. Through a Joint Band Council Resolution passed among the Chippewas of Rama, Beausoleil Island and Georgina Island in 1964, and an accompanying federal Ministerial Order, Chief Island has been expressly named as part of the reserve lands of the Chippewas of Rama First Nation. 1 The historical land abstract books are available online through the government of Ontario’s ONLAND, land registry access. https://www.onland.ca/ui/25/books/search.

Multiple members of the consortium were recognized for exceptional Enterprise design through the Simcoe County Libraries for Accessibility project. Made possible through the partnership of ten Simcoe County Libraries, The Simcoe County Libraries for Accessibility project is a successful and creative solution for meeting the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) Standards. The project also fulfills the partner libraries’ goal of providing “one place to look”—through enriched library user experiences, user-friendly interfaces, and enhanced online services. “The partner libraries are thrilled to have received this award,” said Gayle Hall, Chief Librarian, County of Simcoe Library Co-operative. “We all worked very hard to ensure that the project provides a cutting-edge solution to meeting the AODA standards and fulfilling the partner libraries’ goal of providing “one place to look.” It is a fiscally responsible answer to the provision of equitable access, enhanced online services and excellent customer service through the utilization of a user-friendly platform.” The Library Co-operative utilizes SirsiDynix Enterprise, which allows each partner library to easily customize its discovery interface—through library branding, tailored designs, and audience-specific profiles—to give its users the Best Library User Experience possible.

    Town of /Ville de Penetanguishene January 14, 2020 Mayor and Council Delivered by Email: Township of Clearview [email protected] 217 Gideon Street Stayner, ON L0M 1S0 Dear Mayor and Council; Re: Seeking Support – Penetanguishene as a primary location for Francophone University The Town of Penetanguishene sent correspondence to the County of Simcoe Mayors back in October 2019, in regards to its intent to lobby the Provincial Government to be considered as a primary location for the Francophone University. Although it hasn’t been officially announced, there’s speculation that the location of Université de l’Ontario français will be within the Greater Toronto Area. Since an announcement hasn’t been made, the Town of Penetanguishene will be continuing to pursue this endeavour until it’s made official. We strongly believe that the Town’s long standing French culture and heritage, the value add for the future of students studying in French, the location, the appropriate infrastructure to support such a worthwhile venture, and the overall quality of life for future students make Penetanguishene an excellent candidate. For these reasons, please consider supporting the Town of Penetanguishene in the form of a resolution, as we lobby the Provincial and Federal governments in the pursuit of a Francophone University being situated in our Town and the County of Simcoe. Additional background information has been enclosed for your information. If you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at 705-549-7453 or [email protected]. Most Sincerely, Doug Leroux, Mayor Town of Penetanguishene Encl. cc: Jeff Lees, Chief Administrative Officer, Town of Penetanguishene George Cornell, Warden, County of Simcoe Mark Aitken, Chief Administrative Officer, County of Simcoe 10 rue Robert St.
