Ontario County Men COUNTY OF ONTARIO PA SHORT NOTES AS TO THE EARLY SETTLEMENT AND PROGRESS OF THE COUNTY AND BRIEF REFERENCES TO THE Pioneers and Some Ontario County Men WHO HAVE TAKEN A PROMINENT PART IN PROVINCIAL AND DOMINION AFFAIRS —BY— J, E. FAREWELL, LL.B., K, G., County Clerk and Solicitor. WHITBY: GAZETTE-CHRONICLE PRESS 1907. The following rough sketches relating to the history of the County were prepared at the request of the County Council. For much of the information the writer is indebted to notes kindly furnished by Municipal Clerks. As to the Township of Reach reference has been frequently made to a pamphlet written many years ago by the Rev. Mr. Monteith and first published in "The North Ontario Observer" and to the late W. H. Higgins' "Work on the Life and Times of Joseph Gould." The sketch of Oshawa was written principally by Dr. T. E. Kaiser, its present Mayor. It will doubtless be claimed that many of the incidents contained herein are incorrect as to names and dates. The writer is aware that in several instances such different statements have appeared in print. He has given them according to the best information obtainable. He regrets that he had not more space at his disposal and trusts that imperfect as these notes are they will cause others who have the time and means to give their attention to the important matter of collecting materials for a County History, and that steps will speedily be taken to establish a County Historical Society to continue the work.

  • 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%).

  • Rouge River Rouge River
    Rouge River State of the Watershed Report Surface Water Quantity Goal: Surface waters of a quantity, volume and naturally variable rate of flow to: $ protect aquatic and terrestrial life and ecological functions; $ protect human life and property from risks due to flooding; $ contribute to the protection of Lake Ontario as a domestic drinking water source; $ support sustainable agricultural, industrial, and commercial water supply needs; $ support swimming, fishing and the opportunity to safely consume fish; and $ contribute to the removal of Toronto from the Great Lakes list of Areas of Concern. Surface Water Quantity Key Findings: The Main Rouge subwatershed has been subject to significant urbanization with an approximate total impervious cover of 18% as of 2002. Several studies suggest that the maximum impervious cover that a watershed can withstand before experiencing severe hydrologic changes and consequent geomorphic and ecological impacts is approximately 10%. There has been significantly less urbanization in the Little Rouge subwatershed and impervious surfaces make up only 2% of the subwatershed area. As a result, hydrologic impacts and related effects are much less severe than on the Main Rouge River. Average annual flows in the Main Rouge River show a long-term increasing trend of over 1.3% per year in the past 40 years. This rate of increase is significantly greater than that on the Little Rouge River or nearby rural watersheds and is indicative of the effect of urbanization on the hydrologic cycle. The Rouge River has become flashy and now generates high flows in response to rainfall events that caused almost no response in the river prior to widespread development.

As with all research, it is inevitable that there will be conflicting facts and information pertaining to dates, names and locations, due to the discrepancies in historical and personal documents. We have endeavoured to be as accurate as possible by researching newspaper stories, obituaries and obtaining personal information from families.
