THAT the Memorandum of Understanding with the Greater Toronto Area Agricultural Action Committee dated March, 2007, be renewed on terms and conditions satisfactory to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA);
AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take whatever action may be required to renew the Memorandum of Understanding with the Greater Toronto Area Agricultural Action Committee including the signing and execution of any documents.
BACKGROUND The Greater Toronto Area Agricultural Action Committee is a multi-stakeholder umbrella organization Involving the regional municipalities of Halton, Peel, York and Durham and the four Greater Toronto Area Federations of Agriculture (Halton, Peel, York and Durham), TRCA, the City of Toronto, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Toronto Food Policy Council as well as representatives from the food retail, food processing and food industry sectors.
The implementation of the Greenbelt Act in 2005 was the catalyst that brought many of the parties involved in food and farming in the Golden Horseshoe together. They became aware of their common interests and recognized that by working together, they had the potential to: support economic viability for all components of the food and farming cluster; better protect the agricultural land base; build better regional connections throughout the food and farming value chain; and reduce regulatory barriers to enable the cluster to thrive.
31 In response to this opportunity, in August 2009, the Vineland Research and Innovation Centre, in cooperation with the GTA AAC, the Friends of the Greenbelt Foundation, Greater Toronto Countryside Mayors Alliance, the Region of Niagara and the City of Hamilton, met to discuss the issues related to food and farming in the Golden Horseshoe.
As the discussion progressed, it became apparent that everyone present was addressing similar challenges, investing in similar projects across the Golden Horseshoe and working to support components of the food and farming cluster. With the enactment of the Greenbelt Plan and the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, the timing was opportune to act. The GTA AAC, Region of Niagara, City of Hamilton and Friends of the Greenbelt Foundation joined forces, secured funding, consulted with stakeholders, government agencies and industry representatives and collaborated to create an action plan to support food and farming across the Golden Horseshoe and in the Holland Marsh.
The Food and Farming Action Plan 2021 for the Golden Horseshoe provides a blueprint for supporting and growing a thriving, integrated food and farming sector in the Golden Horseshoe. It responds to the common challenges and opportunities the area shares. These challenges and opportunities arise from the large concentration of population, growth pressures, juxtaposition of agricultural and urban land uses, myriad of regulations and overlapping agencies, and cluster of food and farming enterprises located within it. The plan focuses on enhancing competitiveness, promoting sustainability and removing barriers that stand in the way of achieving these goals.
The Action Plan focuses specifically on actions that support food and farming businesses in the Golden Horseshoe. To assess which actions should be included in the plan, a Steering Committee used three fundamental tests: Is the action addressing a Golden Horseshoe specific issue? Will the action make a real difference to the future of food and farming in the Golden Horseshoe? Is the action realistic and therefore achievable?
The Action Plan focuses on five opportunities to achieve it's vision. A. GROW THE CLUSTER - Grow the Golden Horseshoe cluster so it becomes the leading food and farming cluster in the world, renowned for healthy and safe products. B. LINK FOOD, FARMING AND HEALTH - Educate current and future consumers about the importance of locally sourced food and farming products for enhancing their health and well-being. C. FOSTER INNOVATION - Encourage and support innovation to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of the Golden Horseshoe food and farming cluster. D. ENABLE THE CLUSTER - Align policy tools and their appreciation to enable food and farming businesses to be increasingly competitive and profitable. E. CULTIVATE NEW APPROACHES - Pilot new approaches to support food and farming in the Golden Horseshoe.
32 The Action Plan covers a ten year period from 2011 to 2021. This timeline was chosen in response to election timetables at the municipal and provincial levels, census cycles and to incorporate the scheduled review of the Greenbelt Plan in 2015. A ten year time frame allows sufficient time to achieve the longer term goals, and is of manageable duration when asking partners for commitments.
TRCA has been assisting the GTA AAC by acting as trustee of funds held for GTA AAC purposes and to provide accounting and other support services. The GTA AAC is not a legal entity and TRCA acts for the GTA AAC in signing contracts and agreements. TRCA's purchasing policies are followed by the GTA AAC. TRCA is also a voting member on the committee.
The memorandum of understanding between the GTA AAC and TRCA has expired and needs to be renewed as soon as possible. Staff from both agencies will meet in the near future to make any necessary revisions to the MOU.
FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding ($209,260 plus HST) for the Food and Farming Action Plan 2021 is being provided by the federal Ministry of Agriculture. At Authority Meeting #2/10, held on March 26, 2010 Resolution #A34/10 approved this contract.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE TRCA staff and the Greater Toronto Area Agricultural Action Committee will complete the work to renew the March, 2007 Memorandum of Understanding based on terms and conditions satisfactory to TRCA and GTA AAC.

FROM: Adele Freeman, Director, Watershed Management
RE: DON MOUTH NATURALIZATION AND PORT LANDS FLOOD PROTECTION PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ______KEY ISSUE City of Toronto has requested a review of the Port Lands revitalization including the Don Mouth Naturalization and Port Lands Flood Protection Project Environmental Assessment (DMNP EA).
RECOMMENDATION
WHEREAS the City of Toronto has requested City of Toronto staff, in conjunction with Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation (TWRC), and Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) with input from the Toronto Port Lands Development Corporation (TPLC) to seek ways to accelerate the redevelopment of the Toronto Portlands;
THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT TRCA staff be directed to participate in the review of the Don Mouth Naturalization and Port Lands Flood Protection Project Environmental Assessment preferred and other alternatives, and the implementation strategy, with the intent to clarify the economic value that will be generated by the careful redevelopment of the area and to make the project as attractive as possible for private sector investment while upholding the goal and objectives as approved by the Minister of the Environment as stated within the EA Terms of Reference (June 2006);
THAT TRCA staff be directed, in conjunction with TWRC, to notify the Province of Ontario of the addition of the City of Toronto as a co-proponent to the Don Mouth Naturalization and Port Lands Flood Protection Project EA;
THAT TRCA staff be directed to ensure TRCA's interest in the Port Lands including Tommy Thompson Park, the linkage from Lake Ontario Park to Ashbridge's Bay Park, and other elements of Lake Ontario Park be suitably addressed within the context of the acceleration of the revitalization of the Port Lands;
THAT TRCA staff report back to the Authority on the outcomes of this review, adjustments to the preferred alternative for the Don Mouth Naturalization and Port Lands Flood Protection Project EA or other actions, and any implications for flood plain management and naturalization and/or other matters based on the findings of the review and business plans, and that this reporting back be coordinated with the reports to City Council and the TWRC Board;
AND FURTHER THAT the authorized officials be directed to take the necessary actions including executions of documents and funding instruments.
34 BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #4/10, held on May 21, 2010, Resolution #A74/10 was approved, in part, as follows:
THAT the Authority supports the concept design for the preferred alternative as specified in the Individual Environmental Assessment for the Don Mouth Naturalization and Port Lands Flood Protection Project (DMNP EA), subject to endorsement by Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation (TWRC) and Toronto City Council;...
...THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff be directed to complete and submit the DMNP EA to the Ontario Ministry of Environment for consideration upon endorsement of the DMNP EA from TWRC and the City of Toronto to proceed;
THAT staff be directed to continue discussions with TWRC, City of Toronto and other applicable stakeholders regarding the required components for flood protection on privately owned lands identified in the DMNP EA;
THAT staff be directed to explore mechanisms such as a Memorandum of Understanding with TWRC outlining TRCA's continued involvement and funding as the responsible authority for ensuring that the function, and terms and conditions of the DMNP EA, are maintained beyond the approvals stage for the DMNP EA;
THAT staff be directed to develop targeted flood plain management policies for the Lower Don Lands which will continue to minimize flood risk while also supporting and facilitating meeting the vision for a new Don River mouth consistent with the City of Toronto's proposed Official Plan Amendment and/or Zoning Amendment;
THAT staff be directed to seek input from the Province of Ontario in developing these policies and to keep the City of Toronto and TWRC appraised of the development of these policies, and to report back to the Authority;
THAT staff be directed to pursue opportunities, in conjunction with TWRC, to adopt the Don Mouth Naturalization and Port Lands Flood Protection Project, such as a "Project" under the Conservation Authorities Act, R.S.O. 1990, as amended;
AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take whatever action may be required to implement the contract, including the obtaining of necessary approvals and the signing and execution of any documents.
Over the past 16 months following this resolution, TRCA staff in conjunction with TWRC and the City of Toronto has: finalized and submitted the EA to the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) in December of 2010; worked with TWRC, Ministry staff and City staff to address comments and concerns raised by TPLC, Toronto Port Authority (TPA), Lafarge and Redpath Sugar; made minor amendments to the DMNP EA based on comments received and resubmitted the amended EA to the EA branch of MOE on April 8, 2011.
35 It became clear to TRCA and TWRC that due to a number of factors including the desire of the Mayor's office to accelerate the revitalization of the Port Lands (Attachment 1), interest from developers in the Port Lands including lands required for the DMNP, and the collective need to develop a viable business plan for revitalizing the Port Lands, that the City was re-evaluating its position on the Lower Don Lands and DMNP EA. TRCA and TWRC were asked in August 2011 to request a further pause or time-out in the government review to enable the City of Toronto to re-evaluate its preferred direction for the Port Lands This request was granted until January 13, 2012 by MOE staff. A full chronological summary of activities undertaken since May 2010 has been provided in Attachment 2 titled "DMNP EA Chronology May 2010 to October 2011".
City of Toronto Council on September 21 and 22, 2011, adopted, in part, resolution EX9.6: 1. City Council endorse the protocol for the revitalization of the Port Lands substantially in the form attached as Attachment 2 to the September 21, 2011 report from the City Manager [EX9.6a] and authorize the City Manager to execute the protocol on behalf of the City (September 21, 2011 - supplementary report from the City Manager on the Toronto Port Lands Revitalization Opportunities (EX9.6a) ( http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2011/cc/bgrd/backgroundfile-41080.pdf) 2. City Council request the City Manager to report as soon as possible and no later than the January 3, 2012 Executive Committee meeting, on the anticipated costs of completing the review of the Port Lands for 2012 and beyond and also include Waterfront Toronto's costing of the Don Mouth Environmental Assessment Refined List of Alternatives, including flood protection, soil remediation, infrastructure improvements and other matters related to the cost of implementation. 3. City Council request the City Manager to prepare and submit a report to the Executive Committee within six to eight months on the business and implementation plan and related progress to date.
The protocol referenced in the Council report under #1 identifies that the City of Toronto will become a co-proponent on the DMNP EA with TRCA and TWRC, and recognizes that the " review of the plans for the Port Lands will be a significant undertaking that requires the cooperation and collaboration of the City of Toronto, TWRC, TPLC and TRCA."
The protocol incorporates two distinct pieces of work as being vital to the review of the Port Lands: a further review of the DMNP EA; and the completion of an economic analysis along with a business and implementation plan for the entire Port Lands area, and if necessary, incorporates a review of the planning framework to assess whether any changes will be required.
TRCA, the City and TWRC as co-proponents, with input from TPLC will undertake a re-examination of the DMNP EA. The DMNP EA review will be informed by costing and economic analysis from the business and implementation plan for the Port Lands. This analysis will use the existing adopted plans for the Lower Don Lands (Council endorsed/acceptance of Lower Don Lands Framework Plan, Don River Mouth EA Preferred Option, Lower Don Lands Infrastructure EA, West Keating Precinct Infrastructure EA, Council adopted Official Plan amendments 388 and 389 and the West Keating Precinct Plan Zoning By-law amendment) as a reference point for the economic analysis.
36 TWRC will lead and coordinate all public consultation for the review of the DMNP EA and Lower Don Lands plan to ensure that public consultation is provided at a standard consistent with the EA Terms of Reference and consistent with the standard and expectation in the Designated Waterfront Area. Public consultation shall consider formats that were previously utilized (facilitation, working groups, subcommittees, etc.) and others as available. TWRC will collaborate with the City and TRCA in carrying out the consultation.
TWRC in cooperation with the City will develop a business plan for the Port Lands with input from TPLC. This plan will be peer reviewed by an independent third party. The analysis will include a review of the development model, financial incentives and tools that could be used for the development of the Port Lands (Tax Incentive Financing, Development Charges, etc.), financing mechanisms (public and private) that are designed to offset the cost to the City of infrastructure requirements, a review of other development models (i.e. making land available through RFI/RFP processes etc); and other mechanisms for minimizing the City's obligation to fund the development of the Port Lands.
As the City and TWRC work towards the completion of the Port Lands business and implementation plan, the City will undertake, using a coordinated approach, a review of the Port Lands planning framework to assess whether any changes will be necessary.
The protocol establishes that the City, TWRC and TRCA will establish an Executive Steering Committee to guide the review, with input from TPLC. The protocol specifically identifies the role of TRCA as being a co-proponent of the EA with the City and TWRC and that TRCA will work with the City and TWRC through the re-examination of the EA and provide expertise and information throughout.
Brian Denney, as Chief Administrative Officer of TRCA, John Livey, Toronto Deputy City Manager, and John Campbell, Chief Executive Officer for TWRC have formed the core of the Executive Committee with appropriate staff support. Work has begun to develop the scope of work, costing, the initial re-evaluation of the DMNP EA and the development of a public consultation plan.
FINANCIAL DETAILS The City of Toronto and TWRC have directed TRCA and our consultant led by AECOM to develop a scope of work and budget to develop a framework for the review of the DMNP EA and to participate in the development of the Port Lands economic analysis, and Business and Implementation Plan.
Funding will be provided for the above work by TWRC through existing funds remaining in the DMNP EA and/or other appropriate instruments.

37 Attachment 1 - Map of the Port Lands
38 Attachment 2 DMNP EA Chronology May 2010 to October 2011:
May 5, 2010, the Board of Directors at TWRC endorsed the Don Mouth Naturalization and Port Lands Flood Protection Project Environmental Assessment (DMNP EA) as part of their comprehensive planning package for the Lower Don Lands. July 6, 7,8, 2010, Toronto City Council adopted Resolution EX45.15, which identified Council support for the Lower Don Lands Framework Plan, including the DMNP EA, and directed TRCA and TWRC to submit the DMNP EA to the Ministry of Environment for approval. This Resolution also directed TWRC to the Waterfront Project Director as Business and Implementation Plan for the Lower Don Lands with priority for Phase 1 (the Don Mouth), and for TRCA to work with the Chief Planner to obtain planning approvals to ensure the protection of the proposed corridors for the new Don River Mouth. August 25, 26, 27,2010, Toronto City Council adopted Resolution TE36.19 which approved the draft amendment of the former City of Toronto Official Plan and Central Waterfront Secondary Plan through OPA 388 for the Lower Don Lands, which in effect, reflected TWRC's Lower Don Lands Framework Plan, including the new river mouth alignment defined through the DMNP EA, and protected those lands from development that were required for the proposed Don River Mouth. August 27, TRCA met with Toronto Port Authority (TPA) to discuss concerns regarding near final draft of DMNP EA as it related to port operations, including Lafarge operations at Polson Quay. September to December, TRCA and TWRC revised final draft of DMNP EA to address concerns raised by TPA. December 17, 2010, TRCA submitted DMNP EA to the Ministry of Environment (MOE) for approval. February 11, 2011, end of mandated public and stakeholder review period of the DMNP EA. A detailed summary of comments and how they were addressed is provided in the attached Disposition Table for Comments on Final EA Report_FINAL_04.08.11_MOE EAAB.pdf. In summary, at the end of the review period: 4 letters of concern were submitted to MOE from Toronto Port Lands Company (TPLC), TPA, Lafarge and Redpath Sugar. The letter from TPLC was subsequently retracted 2 weeks later. 6 letters of support were submitted to MOE from Ed Freeman, West Don Lands Committee, Task Force to Bring Back the Don, Don Watershed Regeneration Council, Dalton Shipway, and Madeleine McDowell; Comments from the following provincial agencies were received: MOE EAAB, MOE Toronto District/Waterfront Coordinator, MOE Noise and Air Quality Unit, MOE Water and Wastewater, Ministry of Tourism and Culture, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Ministry of Natural Resources Aurora District, and Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs. All concerns raised by provincial agencies were addressed in the Amended EA for the DMNP by April 11, 2011. Comments from the following other agencies were received: Transport Canada and Hydro One. No substantive changes were required based on these comments.
39 February 22, 2011, TRCA and TWRC submitted a request to MOE for a time-out to address issues raised by TPA, Lafarge and Redpath. MOE's regulated timelines to resolve issues and resubmit to MOE was March 18, 2011. The time-out sought a delay until April 8, 2011. March 3, 2011, Letter submitted by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing outlined the Province's support for the City's OPA 388, subject to approval of the DMNP EA, and resolution of outstanding appeals to the OMB. March 11, 20011, TRCA and TWRC submitted a second request to MOE for a time-out to provide additional time to address issues raised by TPA, Lafarge and Redpath. The new resubmission deadline was April 26, 2011. February 11 to April 8, TRCA and TWRC corresponded and met with TPA, Lafarge and Redpath Sugar on numerous occasions to try and resolve concerns raised. April 8, 2011, TRCA resubmitted the Amended DMNP EA to MOE for their review. The attached Disposition Table summarized how we proposed to address their concerns. May 30, 2011 - MOE had requested the following information from the City: Clarification on land use designations under Official Plans and zoning. Lafarge is raising the question about whether they are a permitted use (this is not a ministry interpretation) and also indicating part of their property is designed open space which seems to be under the master plan as well as designated silos as a historic resource - hence limited redevelopment potential which is not what they were told in your meetings. TPA is wondering what the uses are permitted adjacent the dock walls and how they can be reserved for commercial shipping when there may be adjacent residential land uses which are not compatible or consistent, resulting in inadvertently affecting dock wall usage. Although these issues are outside of what EA controls - they are issues which are not answered by the responses provided and may have an impact on decision making. City staff had drafted a response to these issues, but withheld release to MOE when it was apparent that the Mayor's Office and TPLC may have had another plan for the Port Lands area. June 1, 2011 - MOE informed TRCA that the Director of EAAB extended MOE's deadline for review to August 19, 2011 in order to accommodate comments from the Growth Secretariat. As such, it was anticipated that the MOE Senior Project Coordinator would have until Sept. 16, 2011 to complete the MOE Review of the Amended DMNP EA. July 20, 2011 - TRCA staff and AECOM Project Manager met with TPLC and City Staff to discuss new direction for Port Lands coming out of Mayor's office. Concerns about deadlines. Letter submitted to TWRC July 20th outlining transfer of lead agency from TWRC to TPLC. August 17,2011 - Director of MOE granted TRCA and TWRC's third request for a time-out to enable the City of Toronto to further re-evaluate their preferred direction for the Port Lands. Extention granted until January 13,2012.
40 City Council on September 21 and 22, 2011, adopted Resolution EX9.6 as follows: 1. City Council endorse the protocol for the revitalization of the Port Lands substantially in the form attached as Attachment 2 to the report (September 21, 2011) from the City Manager [EX9.6a] and authorize the City Manager to execute the protocol on behalf of the City. 2. City Council request the City Manager to report as soon as possible and no later than the January 3, 2012 Executive Committee meeting, on the anticipated costs of completing the review of the Port Lands for 2012 and beyond and also include Waterfront Toronto's costing of the Don Mouth Environmental Assessment Refined List of Alternatives, including flood protection, soil remediation, infrastructure improvements and other matters related to the cost of implementation. 3. City Council request the City Manager to prepare and submit a report to the Executive Committee within six to eight months on the business and implementation plan and related progress to date. 4. City Council request the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to report to the Executive Committee on October 3, 2011, on any actions required to ensure that development to the north of the Keating Channel is not delayed by the actions set out in the report (August 22, 2011) from the City. City Executive Committee on October 3, 2011, adopted Resolution EX11.20 as follows: 1. City Council direct that staff continue with the previous Council direction to resolve appeals at the Ontario Municipal Board as they apply to the Keating Channel Precinct West and other lands north of the Keating Channel.
41 Item AUTH7.3 TO: Chair and Members of the Authority Meeting #9/11, October 28, 2011
FROM: Adele Freeman, Director, Watershed Management
RE: ONTARIO REGIONAL CLIMATE CHANGE CONSORTIUM ______KEY ISSUE Endorsement of Ontario Regional Climate Change Consortium (ORCCC) Strategy and approval of draft Terms of Reference and proposed membership for the ORCCC Advisory Board.
RECOMMENDATION
WHEREAS "Meeting the Challenge of Climate Change: TRCA Action Plan for The Living City" released in 2008 identifies the establishment of a regional climate partnership to foster academic, private sector and government collaboration to accelerate climate change research and action;
AND WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and York University established the Climate Consortium for Research Action and Integration (CC-RAI) in 2009 to facilitate the development of a pan-Ontario collaboration to enhance climate science and research services for our partner municipalities, Ontario public service and private sector end–users;
THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the “Ontario Regional Climate Change Consortium Strategy: Adapting to a Changing Climate”, be endorsed;
THAT the draft Terms of Reference and proposed membership for the Ontario Regional Climate Change Consortium (ORCCC) Advisory Board be approved;
THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take such action as is necessary to execute agreements and to facilitate implementation of ORCCC partnerships and priority projects;
AND FURTHER THAT a copy of this report be forwarded to appropriate partners and stakeholders as appropriate.
42 BACKGROUND Following the approval of "Meeting the Challenge of Climate Change: TRCA Action Plan for The Living City" by the Authority in April 2008, York University and TRCA formed a partnership to support research and action on climate change. Building on the strengths of both organizations, the CC-RAI was formed to actively engage a range of stakeholders around these issues. Since February 2010, CC-RAI has been involved in furthering the development of a pan-Ontario initiative that began as the Ontario Regional Climate Modelling (RCM) Ad Hoc Committee (herein referred to as the Ad Hoc Committee). The Ad Hoc Committee was chaired by Dr. Gordon McBean from the University of Western Ontario (recently, nominated as the first Canadian President elect of the International Council for Science) and included representation from 12 universities, as well as a range of private and public sector organizations. Through an iterative, consensus building, consultation process, representatives of the Ad Hoc Committee have supported the development of the “Ontario Regional Climate Change Consortium Strategy: Adapting to a Changing Climate” (link for full report http://www.climateconsortium.ca/2011/07/20/ontario-regional-climate-change-consortium-strate gy/. Hard copies of the Strategy will be available at the meeting).
The Strategy outlines an approach to developing and enhancing capacity within Ontario to deliver cutting-edge climate research and modelling expertise to a wide array of end-users. Recognizing that not one organization or university has the capacity to provide the wide variety of information, data and expertise required – a collaborative approach to action took hold. The Strategy outlines an approach to mobilizing existing research around climate change in Ontario with an aim to strengthen opportunities for new research.
The Strategy calls for the establishment of an Ontario Regional Climate Consortium Advisory Board, a central secretariat and sector-specific nodes with enhanced climate modelling, research and collaboration capabilities. Considering the successful coordination of the development of ORCCC Strategy, TRCA and York University have been asked to continue the coordination of ORCCC acting as the central secretariat. Since the completion of the Strategy several organizations have agreed to participate on the Advisory Board. A draft Terms of Reference for the Advisory Board (Attachment 1) and proposed membership list are attached below (Attachment 2).
The Ontario Regional Climate Change Consortium (ORCCC) ORCCC represents a new model for networked, pan-provincial, inter-institutional excellence in science and research focused on providing end-users with targeted information, analysis and services they need to address the risks, uncertainties and extremes of climate change in the province. It is anticipated that scientists from all of Ontario’s universities as well as many ministries, municipalities, NGOs and industries will be actively engaged with ORCCC, providing a wide range of expertise.
ORCCC will be a one-window resource to help decision makers formulate strategic, coordinated and scientifically-informed responses to climate adaptation. ORCCC will deliver climate services to public and private end users through:
43 Climate Modelling & Analysis | Enabling a consistent, science-based approach to planning Filling a major gap for standardized, regionally-specific climate intelligence by serving as the lead vehicle for monitoring and adapting the latest global climate change science into consistent climate parameters, methodologies and impact assessments on strategic sectors that are key to the economic development, social well-being, and health of Ontario residents and eco-systems.
Research Integration & Mobilization | Streamlining climate change research and action Providing a unique platform for streamlining coordination among Ontario's climate change assets. Key deliverables will include a province-wide climate research network and meta database, in addition to collaborative forums and sector working groups to facilitate effective collaboration between researchers, science policy experts, and end-users.
End-User Services | Translating climate data into actionable intelligence Translating climate data into actionable intelligence by providing policy makers and private and nonprofit organizations with access to a resource for effective adaptation responses. ORCCC will play a critical role in maintaining dialogue between the science community and end-users to enable informed information exchange and possibilities for collaborative planning.
Service Agent Support | Supporting intermediary users through authoritative tools Serving as a source for reliable, authoritative climate modelling support by developing standardized, peer-reviewed methodologies and/or tools designed for intermediary users (i.e. professional services firms).
Regional Context and Alignment with Existing Initiatives
Environment Canada: Environment Canada (EC) is committed to ensuring that its global and regional climate model outputs and scenarios are available to all users. To this affect, EC has formal and informal arrangements with groups like OURANOS (Quebec’s Consortium on Regional Climatology and Adaptation to Climate Change) and PCIC (Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium), to facilitate the use of EC information by regional climate modelling consortia. EC is willing to support ORCCC with similar arrangements.
Ministry of the Environment: The ORCCC Strategy has been developed in consideration of the ‘Adapting to Climate Change in Ontario: Towards the Design and Implementation of a Strategy and Action Plan’ prepared by the Expert Panel Report on Climate Adaptation in November 2009. The Strategy also provides a purpose-built response to a number of the recommendations and actions identified in the government’s response to the Expert Panel report, ‘Climate Ready: Ontario’s Adaptation Strategy and Action Plan 2011-2014’. Under their Climate Change Monitoring and Modelling Program, the ministry has been providing support (through grants) to universities to carry out high-resolution dynamic/combined downscaling during the past several years. ORCCC will build on the data produced through the Ministry of the Environment's (MOE) previous work, will serve the Ontario public service and will seek support from MOE as appropriate.
44 Conservation Ontario: The ORCCC Strategy complements Conservation Ontario’s Strategic Plan Goal to be the “trusted science brokers for healthy Great Lakes and climate change resilience”. Conservation Ontario has participated in the development of the Strategy and will provide guidance to the future work of ORCCC. Other conservation authorities (CA)will be invited to participate as appropriate. While no formal process is in place, TRCA has informally agreed to represent the GTA-wide CA‘s based upon discussions through the GTA flood group.
Municipalities: TRCA’s regional municipalities are expected to represent a significant segment of the end-users in need of locally-focused climate information, analysis and services. Given their broad range of responsibilities, ORCCC continues to work alongside various municipalities including the Region of York, Region of Peel and the City of Toronto, in order to define the range of products, services and information they require to address adaptation planning now and into the future. While initial work may focus on the GTA, it is anticipated that ORCCC will expand to provide services throughout the province.
ORCCC is positioned to deliver on the priorities set out in the Region of Peel Climate Change Strategy released in 2011 and will also aim to serve the needs of York and Durham regions as their climate change initiatives progress.
City of Toronto and CivicAction recently launched the Toronto Region Action Group on Extreme Weather with about 50 major organizations representing the management of hundreds of billions of built assets across the Toronto region. ORCCC has been positioned as a key service provider to this major end-user group in the Greater Toronto Area.
Work Completed to Date A one-day Climate Science Workshop (February 5, 2010) hosted by TRCA and York University, which engaged more than 135 participants from academia and public and private sectors. Establishment of an Ad Hoc Committee (convened in October 2010) representing 12 universities, all levels of government, Conservation Ontario, NGOs and the private sector including: Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO); Carleton University; City of Toronto; Conservation Ontario; Environment Canada; Insurance Bureau of Canada; Lakehead University; McMaster University; OCAD University; Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources; Ontario Ministry of the Environment; Ontario Power Generation; Queen’s University; Quentin Chiotti (ACER); Region of Peel; Ryerson University; TRCA; University of Guelph; University of Toronto: University of Waterloo; University of Western Ontario; University of Windsor; and York University. Several steering committees consisting of scientists, researchers, policy and decisions makers that have identified needs for climate research/analysis in Ontario, as well as the need of potential intermediary and end-users through a series of scoping papers. Completion of ORCCC Strategy, Advisory Board Terms of Reference and confirmation of participation from all levels of government, private sector and universities. A user needs assessment workshop hosted by Ontario College of Arts and Design University in May 2011. Relationship building with Quebec and Pacific Climate Change Consortiums. Natural Resource Canada (NRCan) funding to develop water adaptation best practices and guidance.
45 DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Key Future Priorities Establishment of an advisory board and central secretariat. Establishment of three university nodes with enhanced modeling and research capabilities suited to end users needs. These will be Water, Agriculture and Forestry, Health and Air Quality. Standardized climate parameters and methodologies for Ontario public service and municipalities to equip them with precise information in order to address uncertainty, including information on local/regional drivers such as altered hydrology due to urbanization, impacts of great lakes micro-climate etc. Region of Peel funding is available to develop projections for the Region to support the implementation of Peel Climate Strategy. Web-based infrastructure/platform to enable province-wide collaboration with access to data, tools and targeted research. A meta-database of previous, ongoing and new climate research linked to provincial and federal government sites. Private sector partnerships to undertake specific projects i.e. Business Risk Management Approaches, etc. Initiate pilot project with CivicAction and City of Toronto's Extreme Weather Group on extreme weather affecting electrical power continuity.
FINANCIAL DETAILS The work leading to the development of the ORCCC Strategy has leveraged considerable in-kind contributions and collaborative efforts by participating partners. Cash contribution was provided by York University in 2010 and 2011, York Region in 2010 and Region of Peel climate change funding in 2010 and 2011 (account 120-88).
The Consortium will operate on a sustainable funding basis by drawing on a mixed base of funding that shifts increasingly towards user fees over time. In the short term, the ORCCC will more heavily leverage on core funding from government sources and grants, with an objective to amplify fee-for-service and project-based revenue streams as service offerings solidify in the near term. Of significance, ORCCC will leverage efficiencies across its membership by drawing upon considerable in-kind computing and staff contributions from founding members to establish and maintain operations.

46 Attachment 1 Ontario Regional Climate Change Consortium Advisory Board
Draft Terms of Reference (TOR) 2012-2013
This document sets out the Terms of Reference for the Ontario Regional Climate Change Consortium Advisory Board and provides an overview of the background of this initiative, its purpose, membership, governance structure, and funding model.
1.0 Background
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and York University jointly hosted the “Climate Science Workshop: The State of Regional Climate Modelling in Ontario” on February 5, 2010, which was attended by more than 135 participants representing thirteen universities; federal, provincial, and municipal governments; conservation authorities; and the private sector. The workshop called for the creation of a “new approach to partnership” through a committee that would identify a means to harness provincial climate expertise and resources, and to cultivate connections between the research community and these stakeholders in order to address provincial climate change issues.
From September 2010 to March 2011, representatives of twelve universities, all levels of government, NGOs, conservation authorities, and the private sector met regularly to develop a proposal and business strategy for a Regional Climate Modelling Partnership. In the spring of 2011, the Ontario Regional Climate Change Consortium (ORCCC) Strategy was completed and planning began to operationalize the Consortium.
***Additional details can be found in the Ontario Regional Climate Change Consortium (ORCCC) Strategy, which can be found online at: http://www.climateconsortium.ca/2011/07/20/ontario-regional-climate-change-consortiu m-strategy/
2.0 Purpose
2.1 Mission
To equip public and private sector decision-makers with high-quality, regionally-specific climate intelligence to empower them to effectively assess and manage climate risks as well as invest in adaptation measures.
2.2 Mandate
The Consortium will deliver the following four primary services:
Climate Modelling and Analysis: Take the lead for monitoring and adapting current climate science into climate parameters, methodologies and impact assessments for key sectors in Ontario. Research Integration and Mobilization: Provide a pan-provincial climate research network and meta-database and use forums and working groups to facilitate collaboration between researchers, policy experts and end-users. 47 End User Climate Services: Translate climate data into actionable intelligence by providing public and private sector end users with a resource for posing specific questions and receiving sector-specific information to assist in adaptation. Service Agent Support: Provide authoritative climate modelling support to professionals serving public and private sector decision makers.
3.0 Governance Structure, Roles and Responsibilities
ORCCC will be managed at the strategic level by an advisory board, a science committee and three sector nodes - water resources, agriculture and forestry, and health and air quality. The nodes will lead sector specific projects and service those sector climate needs with climate modelling research and analysis. In addition, a central “Secretariat” (York U|TRCA) will provide coordination and logistical support among members and work closely with the sector nodes on projects. For instance, the secretariat will provide meeting coordination, facilitation, administrative support and communication.
3.1 Advisory Board
The Advisory Board will provide advice and strategic direction to Consortium staff. The Advisory Board will seek to develop strategic partnerships with public/private sector partners and help generate resources to support Consortium projects.
The Advisory Board will be made up of a maximum of 25 members. They may include participating universities, federal, provincial and municipal government representatives, Conservation Ontario, as well as sector specific stakeholders and industry representatives, for example, Engineers Canada, etc.
Term: The advisory board will hold a two year term with an option for renewal for another year. The board will be staggered to ensure a level of continuity and institutional memory is retained.
3.1.1 Advisory Board Chair and Vice Chair
The Chair and the Vice Chair will be elected by members of the advisory board for the two years. Dr. Gordon McBean has agreed to continue in his role as chair of ORCCC. The Chair and the Vice Chair will have the following responsibilities:
being the primary spokespersons for ORCCC at public and official functions; presiding over Committee meetings, setting the agenda and generally ensuring the effectiveness of meetings; and ensuring that the nomination and appointment of Committee members occurs through an effective process and in a timely manner.
3.2 Reporting Relationship
An annual report on its activities will be provided to all member organizations. Procurement and financial reporting will follow the established policies of TRCA, York University or the key partner institutions receiving the funding.
48 3.3 Science Committee
The Science Committee will provide technical advice on climate science, modelling and research priorities. Assist with peer review of methodologies and analysis to address questions from stakeholders, including issues like uncertainty, and scientific validity.
The science committee will be made up of lead scientists from Ontario universities, Provincial and Federal scientist and representatives of the Consortium nodes. Other individuals recognized for their work in specialized fields will also be invited to participate. A mechanism will also be developing to seek input and expert guidance and advice from other consortia (e.g. PICS, Ouranos).
3.4 Sector Specific Nodes
Representatives from universities that host a sector/issue specific node will be represented on the advisory board and asked to provide relevant issue specific guidance and expertise in support of projects focused on such issues, i.e., Water. Nodes may be co-hosted by universities with particular expertise in a given subject area. Sector nodes will lead Consortium research and modelling projects in coordination with the Central Secretariat.
3.5 Central Secretariat
The Committee, its Chair and Vice Chair will be supported by a secretariat led by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and York University. The secretariat will provide facilitation, project and program development and implementation, research and policy analysis, administrative support, financial management and communications. The secretariat will be responsible for coordinating interaction with the nodes and facilitating collaboration on projects.
4.0 Funding Model
4.1 General Overview
A variety of funding sources will support the Consortium, with the composition shifting between sources in the short to long term. The Consortium hopes to secure funding from government sources with additional support provided by the private sector. Over time the Consortium aims to support its activities through a fee for service model with a decreasing reliance on core, public sector funding.

RE: YONGE-YORK MILLS FLOOD CONTROL CHANNEL MAJOR MAINTENANCE ______KEY ISSUE Approval to undertake major maintenance to Yonge-York Mills Flood Control Channel in the City of Toronto.
RECOMMENDATION
THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff be directed to proceed with major maintenance of the Yonge-York Mills Flood Control Channel in the City of Toronto.
BACKGROUND The Yonge-York Mills Flood Control Channel was constructed by TRCA in 1968 along the West Don River between Yonge Street at York Mills Road, and the Rosedale Golf Club to protect the community known as Hoggs Hollow from the hazards of flooding and erosion.
Along its approximately 1.75 kilometre stretch of the West Don, the channel has three distinct reaches (Attachment 1): Reach 1 is approximately 375 metres (m) long and consists of a fully lined concrete channel from Yonge Street to approximately 140 m downstream, and concrete/rip rap lined channel for the remaining 235 m to Mill Street; Reach 2 is approximately 175 m long from Mill Street to Donino Avenue, and consists of a fully lined concrete channel; Reach 3 is approximately 1,200 m long and consists of a gabion lined channel from Donino Avenue to the northern boundary of the Rosedale Golf Club.
In January 2009, TRCA retained Stantec to complete a hydraulic assessment and maintenance study of the Yonge-York Mills Flood Control Channel. The purpose of the study was to confirm/establish an existing conditions model of the flood control channel, and to recommend a maintenance strategy to ensure that adequate conveyance capacity through the channel is maintained to protect the surrounding residential community.
RATIONALE The results of the Stantec study indicate that sediment and vegetation accumulation in the channel has adversely impacted conveyance capacity, increasing floodlines on private property. To minimize this risk Stantec recommended that all sediment, vegetation and debris/obstructions within the limits of the channel be removed. Additional maintenance recommendations included the repair of extensive cracking and shifted concrete panels, and the replacement of eroded backfill and failed sections of concrete to restore structural integrity.
52 As the protection of life and property from the hazards of flooding and erosion is a key mandate of TRCA, and maintaining channel capacity is essential to protect the numerous houses constructed immediately adjacent to the channel, staff recommend carrying out the recommended maintenance immediately upon the receipt of the necessary approvals to the limit of available funding.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Given the extensive length of the flood control channel and limited funding, implementation of the maintenance works will be undertaken on a priority basis as funding permits.
Phase 1 - removal of sediment and vegetation from the limits of the gabion lined portion of the channel (Reach 3). Material will be moved mechanically from the limits of the channel and will be disposed of offsite. Phase 2 - removal of sediment and vegetation from the remaining sections of the channel (Reaches 1 and 2) in order to restore conveyance capacity to as close to original condition as possible, and to confirm the type and extent of concrete repairs previously identified by Stantec. As in Phase 1, all material will be disposed of offsite. Phase 3 - repair of concrete in Reaches 1 and 2.
Phase 1 is anticipated to commence in December 2011 pending the receipt of all approvals and is expected to be completed by March 31, 2012. Phases 2 and 3 will be scheduled in 2012 - 2013 as funding permits.
FINANCIAL DETAILS Phase 1 is estimated at $720,000 including taxes, project administration and a contingency of 10%. Funding is available from 2011-12 City of Toronto erosion capital in account 107-12, plus a grant in the amount of $250,000 from Ministry of Natural Resources' Water and Erosion Control Infrastructure (WECI) Program, 2011-2012.
