CARRIED _________________________________________ SECTION IV - ITEMS FOR THE INFORMATION OF THE BOARD RES.#A5/14 - IN THE NEWS Overview of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority media activities October - December, 2013. Moved by: Gloria Lindsay Luby Seconded by: Chris Fonseca THAT the summary of media coverage from October - December, 2013 be received. CARRIED BACKGROUND As per Authority direction during 2006, a report covering highlights of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's news coverage for the preceding few months is provided to the Authority on a quarterly basis. 4 Media Coverage Highlights A search on a news archives database (FP Infomart) for the period from October – December, 2013 that mentioned Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) or Black Creek Pioneer Village (BCPV) and other TRCA properties and programs (example: Tommy Thompson Park) produced 39 media mentions. The total media hits resulted in a total circulation/reach of approximately 4,200,000 with a total advertising value of $154,000. These results only reflect a portion of media coverage, since the database does not monitor on-line media, event listings, broadcast radio/tv interviews, smaller community papers and trade publications. The highlights below are examples of noteworthy media coverage received for October – December 2013: October rd On October 3 , the Toronto Star story “Destructive beetle found in Mississauga” outlines the re-emergence of the Asian long-horned beetle in trees within Mississauga. The article mentions a 2011 technical report by TRCA that says that 56 per cent of Mississauga’s tree population is susceptible to the beetle. th On October 4 , the Toronto Star story “Pipeline near rivers causes alarm” reviews Enbridge’ s Line 9B pipeline that crosses all nine watershed in the TRCA jurisdiction. A TRCA spokesperson is quoted in the article to say that Enbridge’s monitoring of the pipeline is comprehensive. TRCA has dealt with three Line 9B exposures in the past three years. The TRCA spokesperson indicated they would like the company to take it further with more testing and detailed survey with a more proactive approach. The article also mentions that TRCA has met with Enbridge to outline concerns and is satisfied with the company’s response so far. Meetings will continue. th On October 8 , the Daily Oil Bulletin story “NEB Hearing Final Arguments in Enbridge Line 9B Re-reversal” mentions that TRCA considers establishment of a Greater Toronto Area based spills response team as an immediate requirement and urges the National Energy Board to strengthen proposed conditions, including proactive spill response planning. th On October 15 , the Toronto Star continued its coverage of the Line 9 story in article “GTA pipeline plan to face rigorous fight”. The article mentions that the pipeline runs the length of the Greater Toronto Area crossing all nine watersheds in the TRCA jurisdiction. Communities along the pipeline are concerned with Enbridge’s estimated 1.5 – 4 hour emergency response time although the company said it can shut off the flow of the product within as few as 13 minutes. Canada has no regulatory minimums for response time. th On October 4 , the Bloor West Villager story “Many Toronto stormwater ponds are full of sediment and need dredging” indicated that many stormwater ponds in Toronto are so full of sediment they are nearly useless in controlling floods and keeping pollution out of city waterways. The City has formed a partnership which should see TRCA clean out seven priority stormwater ponds in Scarborough and High Park.

    ANGELO PRINCIPE CENTRING THE PERIPHERY. PRELIMINARY NOTES ON THE ITALLVN CANADL\N PRESS: 1950-1990 The Radical Press From the end of the Second World War to the 1980s, eleven Italian Canadian radical periodicals were published: seven left-wing and four right- wing, all but one in Toronto.' The left-wing publications were: II lavoratore (the Worker), La parola (the Word), La carota (the Carrot), Forze nuove (New Forces), Avanti! Canada (Forward! Canada), Lotta unitaria (United Struggle), and Nuovo mondo (New World). The right-wing newspapers were: Rivolta ideale (Ideal Revolt), Tradizione (Tradition), // faro (the Lighthouse or Beacon), and Occidente (the West or Western civilization). Reading these newspapers today, one gets the impression that they were written in a remote era. The socio-political reality that generated these publications has been radically altered on both sides of the ocean. As a con- sequence of the recent disintegration of the communist system, which ended over seventy years of East/West confrontational tension, in Italy the party system to which these newspapers refer no longer exists. Parties bear- ing new names and advancing new policies have replaced the older ones, marking what is now considered the passage from the first to the second Republic- As a result, the articles on, or about, Italian politics published ^ I would like to thank several people who helped in different ways with this paper.

  • March 29, 2018 Mayor John Tory Office of the Mayor City Hall, 2Nd Floor 100 Queen St. W. Toronto, on M5H 2N2 Realizing Toronto Y
    March 29, 2018 Mayor John Tory Office of the Mayor City Hall, 2nd Floor 100 Queen St. W. Toronto, ON M5H 2N2 Realizing Toronto’s Opportunity to Redevelop Downsview Your Worship, On behalf of the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE), I am writing to request your support for the redevelopment of the Downsview lands: an incredible, multi-billion dollar opportunity for the city of Toronto to increase its supply of housing, attract investment and jobs and cement itself as a global centre for engineering innovation. As you are aware, Bombardier Aerospace announced their intention to relocate their operations at Downsview. For Toronto, this move presents a tremendous prospect for innovation and urban renewal that is unparalleled in modern history. Spanning an impressive 375-acres of prime development lands, Toronto’s opportunity at Downsview supersedes previous urban development success stories such as New York’s Hudson Yards and London’s Canary Wharf (24 and 97-acres respectively). Not only is its sheer size unprecedented—Downsview is also shovel-ready, presenting Toronto with a turn-key public project that complements existing infrastructure. Unlike most urban renewal projects around the globe, this development is able to monopolize on existing public infrastructure stock, thereby avoiding the time and resource costs typically associated with the construction of new service and transit linkages. The Downsview lands are situated at the epicentre of three world-class universities and benefits from exceptional connections to existing subway, rail, and highway transportation infrastructure. Developing Downsview can improve the flow and functionality of Toronto’s transit network. The development of the Downsview lands promises to improve ridership and the efficiency of the entire transit network by encouraging two-way passenger flows.

  • A GIS-Based Flood Forecasting Model for the Duffins Creek Watershed, Ontario
    A GIS-Based Flood Forecasting Model for the Duffins Creek Watershed, Ontario by C. Darren Sutton A Research Paper Presented to Ryerson University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Spatial Analysis A joint program with the University of Toronto Toronto, Ontario, Canada © C. Darren Sutton 2003 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this Research Paper I authorize Ryerson University to lend this Research Paper to other institutions or individuals for the purposes of scholarly research. C. Darren Sutton ii Abstract Organizations such as the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) could benefit from a flood forecasting method that uses GIS tools and spatial data because they have already invested in GIS software. This research project utilized a 30- metre resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM), shapefiles of land cover and soil type, and a Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) satellite image to delineate hydrological response units. Snowpack depths were simulated using data from The Weather Network and modelling using the Guelph All-Weather Storm Event Runoff (GAWSER) equations. The Curve Number Method was used to predict peak discharge and time to peak discharge. Snowpack depth was overestimated in some cases, which is likely due to error in snowfall simulations and underestimation of the melt factor. A systematic error, which was caused by averaging of rainfall inputs was corrected for by reducing simulated peak discharge by a factor of 10. The model is most adept at simulating peak discharge for a 71.6 mm rainfall event. For smaller events, a multiplier was introduced to improve the model’s performance.
