  • Humber River State of the Watershed Report – Nature-Based Recreation
    Humber River State of the Watershed Report – Nature-based Recreation 2008 Humber River State of the Watershed Report – Nature-based Recreation EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • The variety of landscapes, features and nature-based recreation destinations in the Humber River watershed provide potential for a wide range of recreational activities including walking, hiking, cross-country skiing, wildlife-viewing, picnicking, camping, bicycling, horseback riding, golfing, fishing, swimming and exploring cultural heritage sites. • Urban development and population growth in Humber watershed municipalities will likely result in increased use of existing greenspace and nature-based recreation facilities and demand for additional greenspace and facilities. • There are approximately 8,800 hectares of public greenspace in the Humber River watershed (10% of the watershed). Most of the greenspace is owned by the TRCA (6,644 hectares or 75%). The quantity of greenspace in the Humber watershed increased by 243 hectares between 2000 and 2005. • Oak Ridges Corridor Park, created through the transfer of 428 hectares of land from private owners and developers to the Province of Ontario in 2004, protects the last remaining natural corridor link between eastern and western parts of the Oak Ridges Moraine in Richmond Hill and represents a major addition to the Humber watershed greenspace system. • The length of inter-regional trails in the Humber River watershed totals 213 km. The total length of inter-regional trails has increased by 28 km since 2000 and an additional 15 km of inter-regional trails are proposed to be built in the watershed. • Numerous municipalities have proposed new local trails in the Humber River watershed, totaling 168 km in length.

  • Humber Bridge Trail and Mcewen Bridge, Schedule "B", Municipal Class EA Location: City of Vaughan, Region of York
    From: Kulpa, Paula (MTC) [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 18, 2010 10:59 AM To: Shoniker, Blair Cc: [email protected]; Duclos, Bert (MTC); [email protected] Subject: Bowstring Arch Bridges, Municipal Class EA Projects: Bowstring Arch Bridges, Humber Bridge trail and McEwen Bridge, Schedule "B", Municipal Class EA Location: City of Vaughan, Region of York Blair Shoniker, On October 13, 2010 the Ministry of Tourism and Culture (MTC) received your letter with respect to the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for two bowstring arch bridges located in the City of Vaughan, and within the Humber River watershed. As part of the Class Environmental Assessment process, the Ministry of Tourism and Culture has an interest in the conservation of cultural heritage resources including: o Archaeological resources; o Built heritage resources; and o Cultural heritage landscapes. The Provincial Policy Statement, 2005 issued under the authority of the Planning Act defines “conserved” as “the identification, protection, use and/or management of cultural heritage and archaeological resources in such a way that their heritage values, attributes and integrity are retained. This may be addressed through a conservation plan or heritage impact assessment.” Archaeology: As per our checklist for determining archaeological potential, a primary water source is located within both study areas, confirming the archaeological potential of the property. An archaeological assessment by a licensed consultant archaeologist of all lands that are part of this development proposal will be necessary for this project prior to any ground disturbance and/or site alterations. Once the assessment is complete, the licensed archaeologist will file an archaeological assessment report (3 copies) to the Ministry of Tourism and Culture for review by an Archaeology Review Officer.

  • The Humber River: the 10-Year Monitoring Report for the Canadian Heritage Rivers System October 2009 Lower Humber Valley, Toronto, TRCA, 2008
    THE HUMBER RIVER: THE 10-YEAR MONITORING REPORT FOR THE CANADIAN HERITAGE RIVERS SYSTEM October 2009 Lower Humber Valley, Toronto, TRCA, 2008 THE HUMBER CHALLENGE Our challenge is to protect and enhance the Humber River watershed as a vital and healthy ecosystem where we live, work and play in harmony with the natural environment. GUIDING PRINCIPLES To achieve a healthy watershed, we should: • Increase awareness of the watershed’s resources • Protect the Humber River as a continuing source of clean water • Celebrate, regenerate, and preserve our natural, historical and cultural heritage • Increase community stewardship and take individual responsibility for the health of the Humber River • Establish linkages and promote partnerships among communities • Build a strong watershed economy based on ecological health, and • Promote the watershed as a destination of choice for recreation and tourism The Humber River: The 10-Year Monitoring Report for the Canadian Heritage Rivers System i FRAGMENT: THE VALLEY Like a sweet wine flowing from the glass, the Humber of my boyhood years! First the stretch of the river valley as I knew it best, running south from Dundas Street to my beloved stone marvel of the Old Mill Bridge, a scant mile to the south, not forgetting to count a quarter-mile jog to the east halfway down to heighten the wonderment. What force of ten million years’ cunning erosion, the relentless path of an awkward giant carving out for himself great steps one by one as he strides on and on, thirsty now for a great cold draught of Lake Ontario water! What sheer-climbing cliffs with the history of planet Earth carved in each layer of shale reaching up a hundred feet from the shining valley floor, the littered rocks of the river ….
