  • 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%).

  • Toronto Premium Outlets, Halton Hills, ON
    Installation Profile Toronto Premium Outlets, Halton Hills, ON Ontario's first Premium Outlets have arrived just west of Toronto, Ontario. This shopping centre provides Canada with a "value retail destination." Home to Canada's favourite designer brands, including Coach, Burberry, Nike and more. This shopping experience has customers in an open air environment as they move from one store to the next. Products Used H-3WP Interior Design Speakers F Series Ceiling Speakers Purpose Simon (A global leader in retail real estate ownership, management and development) wanted to provide their customers with a shopping experience that provided them comfort, relaxation and joy. They required background music that was soft and soothing to make customers feel comfortable and entice them to want to shop longer. Challenge Being an Indoor/Outdoor environment, Toronto Premium Outlets required a hardy speaker system that would stand up to Canada's harsh, cold winters, and hot, humid summers and everything in-between. They required speakers that blended into the architecture, providing clean lines. They also required a speaker that was weather- resistant. The speakers needed to be hardy, look great, blend in and sound outstanding. Solution TOA's H Series Interior Design Speakers blend in with the architecture while providing soothing, relaxing and refreshing background music while customers wander the outdoor hallways from store to store. TOA's H-3WP is a weather-resistant (IPX4), wall-mountable, outdoor 2-way speaker that provides horizontally-wide dispersion. Some of the retail stores have also installed TOA's products including F-Series Ceiling Speakers. Feedback Although a challenging install with the indoor and outdoor areas, the integrator working with the TOA sound design, the resulting sound clarity was great.

  • York Region IRRP - Backgrounder
    York Region IRRP - Backgrounder About York Region The York Region IRRP roughly encompasses the municipalities of Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Aurora, Newmarket, King, East Gwillimbury, Whitchurch‐Stouffville and Georgina. The York Region IRRP area is a sub‐region of the GTA North planning region established through the Ontario Energy Board’s (OEB) regional planning process. A portion of Vaughan supplied from the Claireville‐to‐Kleinburg line is being studied as part of the Northwest GTA IRRP, as this line also supplies loads in the West GTA region. York Region is one of the fastest growing regions in Ontario. Extensive urbanization in the last several years has York Region IRRP Area resulted in electricity demand growth greater than the provincial average. With a current population of over one million, its electricity demand peaks at almost 2,000 MW. Under the Province’s Places to Grow Act, York Region is expected to host substantial continued population growth in the coming decades. The York Region IRRP was developed by a working group composed of the Independent Electricity System Operator, Newmarket‐Tay Power, PowerStream and Hydro One Networks Inc. Recommendations in the IRRP The implementation of provincial conservation targets established in the 2013 Long‐Term Energy Plan (LTEP) is a key component of the near‐term plan. Peak‐demand impacts associated 1 with the provincial targets were assumed before identifying residual needs, consistent with the Conservation First Framework. In addition to the recommended actions provided in the table below, provincial programs that encourage the development of distributed generation such as the Feed‐in Tariff (FIT), microFIT and Combined Heat and Power Standard Offer (CHPSOP) programs also contribute to reducing peak demand in the regions.
