Grey Sauble Conservation Annual Report 2017 Grey Sauble Conservation Annual Report 2017 Celebrating60 Years Our vision is a healthy watershed environment in balance with the needs of Celebrating60 society. Years Our mission, in partnership with the stakeholders of the watershed, is to promote and undertake sustainable management of renewable natural resources and to provide responsible leadership to enhance biodiversity and environmental awareness. Over the past 60 years Grey Sauble Conservation staff have demonstrated enduring commitment to conservation and developed deep knowledge about our area, coupled with progressive use of technology. We live here, work here and play here! Grey Sauble Conservation Board of Directors The eight municipalities within Grey Sauble’s jurisdiction appoint an elected official or public appointment to the Board of Directors. If the municipality’s population is over 10,000, two municipal representatives are appointed to the Board of Directors.

In that report I made reference to the early stages of the Conservation Authorities Act Review that was underway. I am very pleased to report that in the last days of the 2017 legislative session the Province of Ontario passed Bill 139 which provided the legislative amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act, initially passed in 1946. Although it did not change the broad mandate of Conservation Authorities (thankfully!) it did provide needed updates. The updates include recognizing an integrated watershed management approach, elevating the regulations that we enforce pertaining to protection from flood and erosion hazards to a provincial level, a mechanism and requirement for consistent procedural bylaws, reporting requirements, and increased transparency and accountability. They also include provision for an opportunity for the government to move outside of the silo of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry when considering legislation that has implication for Conservation Authorities. The various programs and projects that constitute our work from year to year fall under the mandates of at least a dozen different provincial ministries, from Health and Education, to Transportation, and Tourism. There is also a recognition - a small first step! - that the provincial contribution to the funding of Conservation Authorities has stagnated at a 1995 dollar amount that does not reflect either the value of Conservation Authorities or the legislative obligation of the province as partners in funding for mandatory programs. I would refer you to the 2015 Annual Report for a review of the history and roles of Conservation Authorities. It’s still worthwhile reading because it is not widely known or understood. The work of visionary and passionate environmentalists from 60 and 70 plus years ago have provided a profound legacy for us in the province of Ontario, and in this local area. In the local context, under the very capable direction of CAO Sonya Skinner in her first full year, in 2017 we have taken some bold steps forward as we celebrated 60 years of Conservation Authorities in our region. We have begun a Strategic Planning process wherein we went out to our member municipalities and stakeholder groups seeking input about the many programs we offer (or could offer). We have also drafted a Capital Asset Plan that will enable us to prioritize and plan for renewal of the structures, properties, and equipment that we deploy across our region. Our Forest Management Plan and accompanying policies have been reviewed and revised in draft form, seeking feedback from stakeholders to ensure we haven’t missed anything. Furthermore, on the human resources side, 2017 brought the retirements of a number of long-term employees, Carl, Chris, Krista, and Anne, along with Emily in Source Water. They have all served us so well over the years, and their contributions are much appreciated. These retirements mean there are a number of new faces around as well as people in new roles, with some further recruitments to come. I anticipate a great deal of energy being released in the organization as they bring their creativity and ideas to their new roles. Staff Retirees in 2017 Carl Sadler Anne Lennox Krista McKee 2 Grey Sauble Conservation Watershed Grey Sauble Conservation (GSC) is responsive to local conservation opportunities and our communities’ priorities. Conservation Authorities are created by local municipalities, and the areas cross municipal boundaries to integrate activities across the entire watershed. A watershed is an area of land drained by a creek or stream. Similar to the branch of a tree, creeks empty into streams, which then empty into larger streams, eventually forming one main trunk. Within this system, everything is connected to everything else. In other words, actions which take place at the top of the system can and do affect those downstream. Local municipalities appoint the Board of Directors, who govern and set direction under the permissive Conservation Authorities Act which says Conservation Authorities (CA) can “further the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources in watersheds.” The Grey Sauble Conservation area includes all or parts of eight local municipalities: Arran Elderslie, South Bruce Peninsula, Georgian Bluffs, Owen Sound, Chatsworth, Meaford, Grey Highlands and Town of The Blue Mountains. The area encompasses five major watersheds: Sauble, Pottawatomi, Sydenham, Bighead and Beaver River. 3 Water Resources The Water Resources department conducts watershed monitoring and data analysis, manages flood control structures, maintains monitoring networks, and works with municipalities to keep local communities safe from flooding. One of the ways that data is collected for flood forecasting is through online weather stations. In 2017 three additional weather stations were installed with volunteers, increasing the stations in GSC’s watershed to 12, which are part of the broader Wunderground network. A new cell phone data sending unit was also installed on a rain gauge in Adamsville that sends data every four hours. The Water Resources department plans to expand this network to monitor water levels at GSC dams in 2018. Weather Station A review of dam assets was completed as part of the GSC Asset Management Plan, which outlined the value of our current flood control structures and delineated longevity strategies. The importance and history of dam structures were also highlighted in 2017 with the installation of an interpretive sign at the location of the former Haines Dam, which was partially funded by the Beaver River Watershed Initiative. New Haines Dam - Interpretive Signage (L to R) Lee Ann Simons, Araby Lockhart, Krista McKee, Katherine Haines, John McGee, Shawn Everitt and John Bittorf Photo by D. Crosskill Stewardship In April, GSC’s Stewardship pilot hit the ground running, with our Stewardship Technician, Rebecca Ferguson coordinating, and assisting with planting 6,000 trees along the Sauble River in Tara, as part of the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change’s (MOECC) Great Lakes Guardian Community Fund. Also through this funding, 1635 metres of livestock restriction fencing was installed along the Sauble River, removing cattle from accessing a 660 metre reach, which will reduce contaminants from getting into this system. Livestock restriction fencing in Tara Throughout the summer, Phragmites mapping and cutting with community groups became the focus of GSC’s Stewardship efforts. By loaning out Phragmites cutting equipment through the Beaver River Watershed Initiative, community groups were empowered to take this fight into their own hands. With the help of GSC staff over 900 hours were spent cutting this invasive grass from local waters! Community groups that borrowed this equipment and assisted with invasive species removal included: Lake Eugenia Property
