  • Historical Settlement
    HISTORICAL SETTLEMENT CHAPTER 3 The period of historical settlement in the Highland Creek watershed began in about 1650 when aboriginal populations first made contact with European explorers and settlers. A major landmark on the north shore of Lake Ontario, the Scarborough Highlands lent their name to the creek immediately below them from the beginning. Its Mississauga name of “Yat.qui.I.be.no.nick”, recorded in 1796, and all subsequent names reflect its geographical position as the first creek below the high land. Travellers going westward on the lake would often camp at the mouth of the Highland Creek rather than attempt a passage along the base of the Bluffs in darkness or bad weather. The following sections provide an overview of the historical period including contact between aboriginal and Euro-Canadian peoples, key characteristics of the successive periods of settlement, the impact of this settlement on the environment, and a summary of heritage resources found in the watershed. 3.1 CONTACT 1650 TO 1800 Following the decimation and ultimate dispersal of the Petun and Huron by the Iroquois in 1650, southern Ontario was uninhabited for a few years before the Iroquois moved into the area to establish a number of large villages along the north shore of Lake Ontario for the exploitation of the local fur resources. One such village was Ganatsekiagon, located on the Rouge River. No villages of this size and importance have been found in the Highland Creek watershed, but evidence shows that the resources of Highland Creek were used by the native peoples of these villages.

  • STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Port Union Road
    STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Port Union Road – Environmental Assessment Addendum Date: April 14, 2014 To: Public Works and Infrastructure Committee From: General Manager, Transportation Services Wards: Ward 44 (Scarborough East) Reference P:\2014\Cluster B\TRA\TIM\pw14006tim.docx Number: SUMMARY An Environmental Assessment study for Port Union Road was undertaken in 2002–2004 and endorsed by City Council, with the Ministry of Environment-mandated public review completed in 2004. The preferred design solution, intended to address traffic delays particularly in the northbound direction, was to be implemented in two phases: the first consisted of intersection modifications to Kingston Road and Port Union Road, while the second was a widening of the road from Lawrence Avenue to Island Road, to be carried out in the future following an additional round of public consultation. The first phase of the work was carried out in 2005, with the intersection improvements at Kingston Road. The second phase of the works (widening), currently scheduled for 2019 and included in the Ten Year Capital Program, is being advanced to a 2016 construction date. The Addendum to the 2004 Environmental Assessment has included an updated traffic analysis, an additional public meeting, and modifications to the EA preferred design to reflect current conditions and minimize impacts to property and the community where possible. The revised preferred design adds a second northbound traffic lane as previously recommended, and in total consists of the following principal

  • Scarborough Civic Centre Branch Library Project Enhancement Options
    Anne Bailey Director, Branch Libraries Toronto Public Library www.torontopubliclibrary.ca ________________________________________________________________ BRIEFING NOTE – Poverty Reduction Initiatives at Toronto Public Library _____________________________________________________________ Toronto Public Library has developed two initiatives for the City’s poverty reduction strategy in 2015, the Library Access – Fines Forgiveness program and Youth Hubs. What is the Library Access - Fine Forgiveness program? Library Access - Fine Forgiveness is a program to reinstate full library services and borrowing for children and youth at library branches in poverty areas by forgiving outstanding fines starting second quarter 2015, making summer reading programs, collections and after school programs fully accessible to the target audience. Children and youth registered at the 31 library branches and bookmobile stops delivering services to the Toronto Strong Neighbourhood Stratey (TSNS) 2020 neighbourhood improvement areas, whose library privileges are suspended, will be contacted and offered a forgiveness coupon so that full privileges are restored upon presentation of the coupon at the TSNS branch (Attachments 1 and 2). The program will be implemented in two phases. First, in spring 2015 the library will reach out to these children and teens to reinstate their privileges and invite them to join the summer reading club and participate in summer programs at their local branch. Second, in the fall as the school year gets underway, the Library will reach out again to children and teens registered at the TSNS branches with suspended cards, to reinstate their privileges and invite them back to the library. After school programs, reading support programs, collections, computer access and study spaces will be promoted. This campaign can be readily implemented and the outcomes will be tracked by branch.

  • Downtown Rapid Transit Expansion Study(DRTES) Phase 1
    Form Revised: February 2005 TORONTO TRANSIT COMMISSION REPORT NO. MEETING DATE: October 24, 2012 SUBJECT: DOWNTOWN RAPID TRANSIT EXPANSION STUDY (DRTES) PHASE 1 STRATEGIC PLAN ACTION ITEM RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the Commission: 1. Receive and accept the findings of the, Downtown Rapid Transit Expansion Study – Phase 1 Strategic Plan, the results of which are summarized in this report. The complete report is posted on the TTC’s web site at: http://www3.ttc.ca/About_the_TTC/Projects_and_initiatives/Downtown_Rapid_Transit_ Expansion_Study/index.jsp. The study, which has been completed by a joint study team of TTC and City of Toronto staff, provides a comprehensive review of issues and options related to rapid transit services into the downtown to 2031 and beyond. The study concludes that: the Yonge Subway and a number of GO Rail corridors are overcrowded today; both GO and TTC have plans to increase the capacity of their systems over the next 10-to-20 years, including projects such as: o introduction of higher-capacity Toronto Rocket trains and the implementation of Automatic Train Control on the Yonge Subway line; o significant increases in peak hour train service on most GO rail lines, contingent on funding availability; by 2031 transit ridership into the downtown is expected to grow by 51%. The planned capacity improvements will keep pace with this ridership growth in many corridors, however, the forecast growth in longer-distance trips from the north and east in particular is expected to be greater than the growth in capacity planned for these corridors; DOWNTOWN RAPID TRANSIT EXPANSION STUDY PHASE 1 STRATEGIC PLAN Page 2 an extension of the Yonge Subway line to Richmond Hill would result in significant overcrowding on the Yonge subway line by 2031, even with the currently-planned capacity improvements in place; the construction of an initial phase of a “Downtown Relief Line” on the east side of the downtown would address these capacity concerns for the foreseeable future.

    PW11.4.1 Toronto Public Works and Infrastructure Committee City Hall - 100 Queen Street West Toronto, ON M5H 2N2 Sent Via Email: [email protected] February 19th, 2016 Re: AGENDA ITEM PW11.14 - Highland Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant - Biosolids Class Environmental Assessment Dear Members of the Committee, This letter is to indicate that the executive committees of the five Community Associations, located nearest to the Highland Creek Treatment Plant (HCTP), stand in solidarity supporting Alternative 1 (a new fluidized bed incinerator) as the preferred solution for biosolids management. Individual deputations will also be submitted by each association. Our five community associations cover a large portion of the Ward 43 and Ward 44 study area in the Schedule B Class Environmental Assessment. Specifically we represent a contiguous area spanning: Guildwood Village: Approximately 3000 households in the south of Ward 43 from Lake Ontario to Guildwood Parkway and the railway tracks. Coronation Community: Approximately 3000 households in Ward 43/44 from Guildwood Station to Beechgrove (Highland Creek) and the railway tracks to Morningside Park. Centennial Community: Approximately 4,000 households in Ward 44 from Highland Creek to Port Union Road and Lake Ontario to Kingston Road. Highland Creek Community: Approximately 4000 households in Ward 44 from Military Trail and Morningside Ave. in the west to the convergence of Kingston Rd and the 401 in the east. West Rouge Community: Approximately 3000 households in Ward 44 from Port Union Road to Rouge Park and Lake Ontario to the 401. All five residents associations have actively participated in the Environmental and Health Impacts Assessments by attending Public Information Centres (PIC), sharing information in our community newsletters, and attending stakeholder meetings.
