It is also intended SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION TOWNSHIP OF OTONABEE-SOUTH MONAGHAN OFFICIAL PLAN JUNE 2015 AS APPROVED BY OMB (Consolidated Revisions) 3 that the location of any proposed roads as indicated on Schedule “C” be considered as approximate and not absolute. Amendments to this Plan will not be required in order to make minor adjustments to the approximate land use boundaries or to the location of any proposed roads, or areas shown on Schedule “A”, provided the general intent of the Plan is preserved. Such minor deviations will not necessarily be reflected on Schedule “A”. 1.4.2 Quantities It is intended that all figures and quantities used in this Plan shall be considered as approximate and not absolute. Amendments to this Plan will not be required for any minor variance from any of the proposed figures or quantities stated herein. The exception to the above policy shall be the references to the number of new lots or the eligible time period for new lots that may be created under Section 4 of this Plan (Land Division Policies), which shall be considered as absolute. 1.4.3 Metric Units All measurements used in this Plan are expressed in metric terms. 1.4.4 Agency Names and Responsibilities From time to time, the names of various government agencies may change. In addition, responsibilities may be transferred from one agency to another. The names of the agencies that are responsible for the many programs, regulations and approvals are given in this Plan as of the date of adoption of this Plan. It is not intended to amend this Plan each time a name change or function transfer occurs. Rather, this Plan shall be interpreted so as to refer to those agencies named, or to their successors, as the conditions dictate. 1.4.5 Legislation From time to time, provincial legislation may be replaced by new legislation bearing a new name. The names and sections of the various Acts used in this Plan are according to the Revised Statutes of Ontario, 1990 (R.S.O. 1990), as of the date of adoption of this Plan. It is not intended to amend this Plan each time an Act is renamed or when new consolidations of provincial legislation are issued.

  • Fire Master Plan Update 2013
    Township of Selwyn Fire Master Plan Update 2013 Background In the province of Ontario, municipalities must abide by the Fire Protection and Prevention Act (FPPA) which states that every municipality shall: 1. establish a program in the municipality which must include public education with respect to fire safety and certain components of fire prevention; and 2. provide such other fire protection services as it determines may be necessary in accordance with its needs and circumstances. In accordance with this legislation, Bylaw 2010-072 establishes the Township of Selwyn Fire Department and provides for its structure, duties, responsibilities and levels of services. A copy of this Bylaw is attached as Appendix “A”. A Fire Master Plan is a comprehensive document that complements the Establishing Bylaw and sets out priorities for fire protection services that consider legislated requirements, local needs and circumstances, and the financial resources of municipality. The process reviews all aspects of the Department’s operation and identifies options and opportunities for developing and delivering the services through the most efficient and effective use of available resources. The Township of Selwyn adopted its first Fire Master Plan on February 12, 2008. The Plan included recommendations and key priorities that were intended to provide direction to the Fire Department with respect to policy, operational and capital decisions over a five-year period. In 2011 the Township began the process to review the status of the existing Fire Master Plan

  • Cobourg, for Example, and the Mem- Bers of the Family Compact at York, and Later, Toronto-Could Begin to Think of Recreational Needs on a More Sophisticated Level
    co THE SUMMER RESORTS OF ONTARIO IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY By Roy 1. Wolfe I In the early decades of the nineteenth century, when settlement in Upper Canada was still in the frontier era, the back country, a few miles inland from the Lower Lakes, was still wilderness. This was pioneer country, and there could be as yet no thought of using land for recreation, 1 while the land itself had to be tamed. The rural settlers had two chief sources of enjoyment-liquor and religion. The former was in good supply (Anna Jameson in 1837 was struck by the vast number of taverns that lined the road between Toronto and Lake Simcoe) but it would be many years before there was a direct relation between liquor and the summer re~QJ Exactly the reverse was true of religion: if in recent years there seems to have been little connection between religion and the summer resort, in the beginning it was very close., The most enjoyable religious ceremony the settlers knew was the Methodist camp-meeting, which sup- plemented the work of itinerant preachers, and reached its fullest de- velopment in the 1820~s.The excitement of the camp-meeting, the hysteria and violent conversions/ had an emotional appeal that nothing else could bring to the barren lives of the isolated settlers. Not only the religious came, but those of few religious convictions,3 who derived enjoyment from the spectacle. Camp-meetings lasted as long as a week, and people stayed in tents at the camping-grounds, which thus came to have the appearance of many future summer resorts.

  • Ganaraska River Background Report: Abiotic, Biotic and Cultural Features
    Ganaraska River Background Report: Abiotic, Biotic and Cultural Features for preparation of the Ganaraska River Watershed Plan October 2009 Ganaraska River Prepared by Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority The Ganaraska River Background Report: Abiotic, Biotic and Cultural Features was written to document the historical and current conditions of the Ganaraska River watershed. This document creates the foundation of the Ganaraska River Watershed Plan. The Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority would like to thank the many seasonal staff that provided field assistance and the landowners who granted permission to collect data from their property. This document was written by Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority (GRCA) staff members Pam Lancaster, B.Sc., Jenny Dai, M.Eng., Brian Morrison, B.Sc., Mark Peacock, P.Eng., Mike Smith, B.Sc., Ken Towle, M.E.S., and Magdi Widaatalla, M.Sc., P.Geo. for the residents, communities, municipalities and stakeholders of the Ganaraska River watershed. Maps were created by the GRCA GIS Department, Brian Curran, B.Sc., Steve Nowak, B.A. and Jeff Moxley. This document complements Richardson (1944) and the 1966 and 1976 Ganaraska Region Conservation Reports (Department of Energy and Resources Management 1966, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources 1976). Certain sections of this report have been summarized from peer reviewed or consultant documents, and review and input into this document by committee members, stakeholders and residents occurred in 2009. The Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority envisions that this document will serve to aid in the conservation, enhancement and sustainable management of the Ganaraska River watershed and its resources. ________________________________________________________________ Correct citation for this document: Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority.
