Fall 2017 THE QUARTERLY OF THE TORONTO BRUCE TRAIL CLUB Vol. LIV No. 3 www.torontobrucetrailclub.org | 416-763-9061 | [email protected] Kythera Friendship Trail On Saturday May 13th, 2017, the Toronto Bruce Trail Club celebrated the Bruce Trail Conservancy’s partnership with the island of Kythera, Greece by establishing a 12 km section of the Bruce Trail as the “Kythera Friendship Trail”. The official opening and ribbon cutting near St. Helena Road was followed by a hike to Hilton Falls Conservation Area for a picnic lunch. The guest of honour was George Kasimatis, directly from Greece for the occasion . left to right: Graham Allen, Toronto Club Vice-President; Marlis Butcher, Toronto Club Rep on the BTC Board; Jackie Randle; BTC Director of Organizational Resources; George Kasimatis, Kythera Hiking representative. photos: Rose-Mary Mitter About Kythera and Kythera Hiking Kythera, the island of goddess Aphrodite, is the secret jewel of Greek seas, a source of inspiration for movies, paintings and songs and a symbol of the ideal place for great intellectuals and artists. There is no better way to explore Kythera than by walking. Kythera Hiking is the official programme for the development of the island’s trail network which started in 2010 and it is run by the Kytherian Foundation for Culture & Development. The gradually expanding network currently offers twelve organized and signposted hiking routes which will guide you through age-old paths, scenic spots, waterfalls, ravines, medieval villages, secluded shores and generally some of the best locations on the island.

  • Trans Canada Trail Proposed in the City of Toronto (Various Wards)

    Trans Canada Trail Proposed in the City of Toronto (Various Wards)

    Trans Canada Trail Proposed in the City of Toronto (Various Wards) (City Council on February 29, March 1 and 2, 2000, adopted this Clause, without amendment.) The Economic Development and Parks Committee recommends the adoption of the following report (January 24, 2000) from the Commissioner of Economic Development, Culture and Tourism: Purpose: To report on the development of the Trans Canada Trail; identifying the City of Toronto’s potential participation through the identification of a trail route through the City and the siting of one or more Trans Canada Trail pavilions at appropriate locations along that route. Financial Implications and Impact Statement: Identifying existing trails and cycling routes within the City as part of the Trans Canada Trail can be accomplished at very minimal costs to the City (e.g., the installation of Trans Canada Trail signage). The development of new trails to fill in gaps in the City’s trail network will also provide linkages that may be suitable for the Trans Canada Trail, in either an interim or long-term framework. These sections of new trail will be planned and budgeted for as part of the City’s future Capital Works Programs. Since pavilions are an integral part of the Trans Canada Trail program, the Trans Canada Trail Foundation provides 100 percent of the funding for the construction of each pavilion. Funding assistance for trail development in each province/territory is potentially available from the Trans Canada Trail Foundation. Individual donations may only be identified by the donor to be used on a provincial/territorial basis and not at a more specific local level.

Given its location on the water, these lands would have attracted Indigenous populations before recorded history. We acknowledge that the land occupied by Exhibition Place is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands. Figure 1.

    (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016

    Bolton Residential Expansion Study (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016 The purpose of this memorandum is to review the professional literature pertaining to the potential develop- ment of a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) in the Bolton Residential Expansion Study area, in response to the Region of Peel’s recent release of the Discussion Paper. The Discussion Paper includes the establishment of evaluation themes and criteria, which are based on provincial and regional polices, stakeholder and public comments. It should be noted that while the Discussion Paper and the Region’s development of criteria does not specifi- cally advocate for TOD, it is the intent of this memorandum to illustrate that TOD-centric planning will not only adequately address such criteria, but will also complement and enhance the Region’s planning principles, key points and/or themes found in stakeholder and public comments. In the following are research findings related to TOD generally, and specifically, theMetrolinx Mobility Hub Guidelines For The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (September 2011) objectives. Additionally, following a review and assessment of the “Response to Comments Submitted on the Bolton Residential Expansion Study ROPA” submission prepared by SGL Planning & Design Inc. (March 15, 2016), this memorandum evaluates some of the key arguments and assumptions made in this submission relative to the TOD research findings. Planning for Transit-Oriented Developments TOD policy and programs can result in catalytic development that creates walkable, livable neighborhoods around transit providing economic, livability and equitable benefits. The body of research on TODs in the United States has shown that TODs are more likely to succeed when project planning takes place in conjunction with transit system expansion.
