Joint News Release JOINT NEWS RELEASE St. Lawrence Parks Commission Front of Yonge Township Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands The Start of a Trail Alliance for the Thousand Islands Parkway Recreational Trail Working Together on the Development of the Multi-use Recreational Trail March 23, 2021 11:00 A.M. Morrisburg, Ontario — St. Lawrence Parks Commission (SLPC) in partnership with the Ontario Trails Council (OTC), Front of Yonge Township and the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands have proposed a coordinated approach to resolve the challenges encountered with the plowing of the multi-use recreational trail along the Thousand Islands Parkway (TIP). Through a shared vision for the trail, the goal is to identify a solution for winter 2021 that allows for the safe use of the trail and better user experience for all users. As trails play a vital role in building a healthier, more prosperous Ontario, establishing a volunteer working committee will be the initial step to guide future decision-making and will help strengthen community engagement as well as collaboration. The OTC has led over 300 community meetings to bring 51 regional trail committees to Ontario. Through their expertise, the committee will establish trail best practices and principles to safeguard the recreational trail so residents and users may continue to enjoy the many recreational activities such as cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking and walking during the winter months in a safe environment. Quotes “The SLPC has heard the concerns raised by local community members regarding the conditions along the Thousand Islands Parkway multi-use recreational trail during the winter months. The SLPC supports and recognizes that a collaborative working group with stakeholders from the Front of Yonge Township and the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands is key to reaching a unified resolution that allows users to continue to safely enjoy the trail.” - Hon. Bob Runciman, Chair, St. Lawrence Parks Commission "One of our pillars of better trails is the development of community trail committees, which we do with the support of groups such as the SLPC and its stakeholders," says Patrick Connor OTC CEO. He adds "through these committees we can resolve landowner, maintenance, signage and other use or operational issues so that both local residents and trail tourists are well served by trails." - Patrick Connor, CEO, Ontario Trail Council “Front of Yonge is looking forward to developing a working relationship with the SLPC, the OTC and the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands. Not so long ago, the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville partnered with the SLPC to revitalize the bike path, providing $400,000 toward the resurfacing. The Path is recognized by the entire region as an important recreational opportunity for a variety of year-round activities.” - Mayor Roger Haley, The Front of Yonge Township 13740 County Road 2 Morrisburg, ON, K0C 1X0 www.parks.on.ca An Agency of the Government of Ontario “Trail systems are incredibly important; they provide opportunity for low cost recreation, allow for social interaction, and connect people with their natural environment. We witnessed a huge increase in use of our trails as the pandemic kept us distanced, and pushed us to reconnect with the outdoors. Never has it been more important for us to support maintenance and upkeep of trails for residents and visitors to enjoy the beauty of our area. We look forward to working with the Ontario Trails Council and our neighbours to ensure that the Parkway Recreational Trail continues to be enjoyed and accessible to all.” - Mayor Corinna Smith-Gatcke, Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands Quick Facts ▪ The TIP is home to a paved multi-use recreational trail that is used year-round between Brockville and Gananoque in Ontario. ▪ Currently, the multi-use recreational trail is not maintained during the winter and the trail is only to be used by pedestrians, skiers and those who snowshoe when conditions allow and it is safe to do so. ▪ Motorized vehicles including vehicular traffic and snow machines are not permitted on the paved recreational trail. ▪ Snowmobiles are permitted on the TIP north lane, the land north of the recreational trail.

  • Final Growth and Settlement Analysis
    LEEDS GRENVILLE OFFICIAL PLAN GROWTH & SETTLEMENT ANALYSIS Final Reppport HEMSON C o n s u l t i n g L t d. August 6, 2014 i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY MMM Group in collaboration with Hemson Consulting Ltd. is assisting the United Counties of Leeds Grenville (UCLG) in the preparation of its first official plan, which will guide land use planning and establish a shared vision for future growth and development in the Counties. As part of the early stages of the official plan process, this report provides the results of a Growth and Settlement Analysis, which included the preparation of Counties-wide population, housing and employment forecasts, examined growth and trends at the local member municipal level and distributed forecast growth to Leeds Grenville member municipalities to provide a basis for planning under the forthcoming UCLG official plan. Recommendations are made for managing growth and change in the Counties in a manner consistent with Provincial policy and responsive to the diverse characteristics and priorities of Leeds Grenville member municipalities. The growth forecasts have been prepared and distributed to member municipalities in a manner consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, 2014 which articulates the Province’s direction on land use planning and managing urban and rural growth and development. Recent population growth in the Counties has been modest, largely as a result of an aging population. This will have important implications for planning. Housing growth has been outpacing population growth owing to declining average household size, a result of an aging population. Employment declined in the Counties over the 2006-2011 period, a result of the recent recession and a shift away from manufacturing in eastern Ontario and throughout the Province.
