  • 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

  • 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.

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.
