Pearson International Airport (LBPIA) is the largest single land use within the Etobicoke and Mimico creeks watersheds, and comprises approximately six and seven per cent of the watersheds respectively. The Greater Toronto Airport Authority (GTAA) lands straddle three of the four Etobicoke Creek subwatersheds (all except Little Etobicoke Creek subwatershed), with the downstream confluences of the Upper Etobicoke and Spring creeks subwatersheds, as well as the upstream origin of the Lower Etobicoke Creek subwatershed, all located upon the GTAA property. The airport’s unique position as the nexus of the three major subwatersheds means that the key recommendations of this report have special significance to the airport lands, and conversely, as do the airport’s operations upon the subwatersheds, both upstream and downstream. The GTAA and Toronto and Region Conservation (TRCA) share a mutual interest in the Etobicoke Creek and have a good working relationship regarding its protection and enhancement. Greater Toronto Airport Authority staff have contributed to the Etobicoke-Mimico Task Force, the development of Greening Our Watersheds: Revitalization Strategies for the Etobicoke and Mimico Creeks, currently sit on the Etobicoke-Mimico Creek Watersheds Coalition and have worked together to create the GTAA GTAA Living City Project EtobicokeIntegration Creek and Implementation Watershed Living City Project as an interdisciplinary approach Creek; off-site and on-site stormwater to watershed management within this area of the management opportunities, and the TRCA Etobicoke and Spring creeks.

  • Progress on the Rexdale – Casino Woodbine Community Benefits
    Attachment 9: Employment and Labour Market Advisory Working GroupEX11.1 Terms of 2 Reference Preamble Ontario Gaming GTA LP (OGGLP or "the Partnership") is committed to ensuring the Woodbine renewal is a force for positive change in the GTA – particularly for nearby neighbourhoods and for residents who are at a social or economic disadvantage. To this end, the Partnership has designed a 20-year Employment and Labour Market Plan that will align with the City’s ongoing work and exceed the Partnership’s already-strong practices across Canada to create thousands of high-quality jobs, establish valuable skills training programs, and facilitate equitable access to the unique opportunity afforded by redevelopment. Based on extensive discussions with City Staff and other stakeholders, the core of the Partnership’s Employment and Labour Market Plan is a collaborative approach to strengthening the employment pathway for local residents and equity-seeking groups. The Partnership’s core strength as a private sector job creator is hiring, training, and upskilling team members, with redevelopment and enhanced operations leading to increased labour market demand. Meanwhile, a strong cluster of City and social sector organizations are primarily focused on identifying, strengthening, and supporting a pool of candidates, with a focus on local residents, youth, and disadvantaged groups. When each player in this employment ecosystem is helping to build and strengthen program alignment, this plan will help to ensure that supply and demand connect. Through the Employment and Labour Market Advisory Working Group, OGGLP will work with the City of Toronto and key stakeholders in order to monitor inputs and outcomes and receive feedback that will allow its plans to be measured and strengthened.

  • The Fish Communities of the Toronto Waterfront: Summary and Assessment 1989 - 2005
    THE FISH COMMUNITIES OF THE TORONTO WATERFRONT: SUMMARY AND ASSESSMENT 1989 - 2005 SEPTEMBER 2008 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors wish to thank the many technical staff, past and present, of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and Ministry of Natural Resources who diligently collected electrofishing data for the past 16 years. The completion of this report was aided by the Canada Ontario Agreement (COA). 1 Jason P. Dietrich, 1 Allison M. Hennyey, 1 Rick Portiss, 1 Gord MacPherson, 1 Kelly Montgomery and 2 Bruce J. Morrison 1 Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, 5 Shoreham Drive, Downsview, ON, M3N 1S4, Canada 2 Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Lake Ontario Fisheries Management Unit, Glenora Fisheries Station, Picton, ON, K0K 2T0, Canada © Toronto and Region Conservation 2008 ABSTRACT Fish community metrics collected for 16 years (1989 — 2005), using standardized electrofishing methods, throughout the greater Toronto region waterfront, were analyzed to ascertain the current state of the fish community with respect to past conditions. Results that continue to indicate a degraded or further degrading environment include an overall reduction in fish abundance, a high composition of benthivores, an increase in invasive species, an increase in generalist species biomass, yet a decrease in specialist species biomass, and a decrease in cool water Electrofishing in the Toronto Harbour thermal guild species biomass in embayments. Results that may indicate a change in a positive community health direction include no significant changes to species richness, a marked increase in diversity in embayments, a decline in non-native species in embayments and open coasts (despite the invasion of round goby), a recent increase in native species biomass, fluctuating native piscivore dynamics, increased walleye abundance, and a reduction in the proportion of degradation tolerant species.

  • Invading Species Awareness Program for Ontario 2009
    2009/10 Invading Species Awareness Program for Ontario Annual Report for 2009/10 INVADING SPECIES AWARENESS PROGRAM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Invading Species Awareness Program The Invading Species Awareness Program (ISAP) has been a joint partnership initiative of the O.F.A.H. and the MNR since 1992; focusing on preventing invasive species introductions to Ontario’s forests and waters. In 2009, in collaboration with hundreds of community groups, nongovernment organizations and all levels of government, the ISAP reached hundreds of thousands of Ontarians engaging their participation in prevention. Hundreds of citizen scientists and professional field staff from numerous agencies participated in our monitoring and reporting programs. The ISAP made valuable contributions to early detection and rapid response initiatives for invasive species threatening Ontario’s biodiversity such as Asian carp, kudzu, European water chestnut, and water soldier. 2009 marked the successful completion of a multi‐year provincial effort to train the bait industry to implement aquatic invasive species prevention plans throughout their industry. The ISAP made significant contributions to provincial, national and international initiatives including the Ontario Invasive Plant Council, the U.S. Great Lakes Panel on Aquatic Nuisance Species and the Canadian Aquatic Invasive Species Network, and the development of the bi‐national Lake Superior Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Plan. Partnerships In 2009, the O.F.A.H. and the MNR continued the successful joint delivery of the ISAP, with O.F.A.H. staff working collaboratively with staff from MNR’s Biodiversity Section, as well as numerous district offices around the province. Federally, funding contributions were made from Environment Canada’s Invasive Alien Species Partnership Program, and the Lake Simcoe Clean Up Fund, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and Human Resources Development Canada’s Canada Summer Jobs Program and Eco‐Canada.
