Moved by: Gay Cowbourne Seconded by: Pamela Gough THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff continue to work with federal and provincial representatives to finalize the 2011-2012 Remedial Action Plan agreements between TRCA and Environment Canada and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, respectively; AND FURTHER THAT staff continue to work with the Toronto and Region Remedial Action Plan (RAP) team, federal, provincial and municipal staff, the academic community, environmental non-governmental organizations and others to implement the 2011-2012 RAP workplan and advance RAP objectives. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Toronto and Region Remedial Action Plan was instituted in response to the 1987 designation of Toronto and Region as a Great Lakes Area of Concern (AOC). The AOC designation was one of 42 (later 43) made by the International Joint Commission. The Toronto and Region AOC consists of six watersheds stretching from the Rouge River in the east to Etobicoke Creek in the west. A presentation will be made to the Authority by Jon Gee, Senior Manager of the Great Lakes Areas of Concern section of Environment Canada, and will provide an overview of the status of Canadian AOCs around the Great Lakes. Under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (GLWQA) and Canada-Ontario Agreement (COA), Environment Canada (EC) and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) share responsibility for ensuring progress on the Great Lakes AOCs. Since 2002, TRCA has led the administration of the Toronto and Region RAP under agreements with EC and the MOE. Management of the Toronto and Region RAP is undertaken by representatives from EC, MOE, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) and TRCA. On June 13, 2009, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon announced their intention to renegotiate the GLWQA. The GLWQA came into effect in 1978, and was last amended in 1987 - the time at which areas of concern and remedial action plans were introduced through GLWQA Annex 2. The renegotiation of the GLWQA is currently ongoing, and Conservation Ontario has been involved as a respondent in the associated GLWQA public consultation processes. 141 On March 31, 2010, the 2007-2010 COA expired, as did the respective 2007-2010 RAP agreements between TRCA and EC and MOE, respectively. As the GLWQA is the agreement from which COA negotiations are predicated, the federal and provincial governments have chosen to defer the renegotiation of the next COA. Instead, the governments extended the 2007-2010 COA over the 2010-2011 federal/provincial fiscal year and maintained program scope and funding at existing levels. The subsequent one-year COA extension for 2011-2012 will similarly enable agreements between TRCA and EC and MOE for the current fiscal year. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Current Remedial Action Plan Initiatives The TRCA RAP workplan for 2011-2012 was approved at the RAP Team meeting of April 12, 2011. The 2011-2012 workplan is similar to those of previous years, with the majority of resources being directed toward

  • ASTRONOMY in CANADA 51 Spectrum. Precise Chemical
    ASTRONOMY IN CANADA 51 spectrum. Precise chemical analysis must take account of the differences of temperature and pressure in the atmospheres of different stars. The outer layers of the stars may appear to differ widely, but this is because of differences in their physical state. It is found that the majority of stars are of closely similar chemical composition. Studies of this nature depend on knowledge of the behaviour of matter in laboratories on earth. On the other hand, the stars themselves are a unique kind of laboratory where matter exists, and can be studied, under conditions that cannot be reproduced on earth. Thus some branches of astronomy, physics and chemistry complement each other. Another important part of the Observatory's work is the study of close double stars. These are systems of two stars held together by their gravitational attraction. Under the influence of this attraction they revolve around their centre of gravity, completing a revolution in a very short time—usually a few days. The two stars are too close to each other to be seen separately with any telescope but they can be studied separately with the spectrograph. These objects are important because their motions are determined by the well-known law of gravitation, and can be made to yield much information about the component stars of each system. In favourable cases, the masses, sizes, densities, tempera­ tures and luminosities of the two stars can be determined. Many of these stellar properties can be derived only from the study of such systems. In addition to their research, the astronomers try to give a more direct service to the public.

That’s Wild! by Jack Newton Victoria Centre On March 29, I photographed two galaxies in Canes Venatici in my continuing search for supernovas, but cloud moved in and terminated my evening’s observing. I decided not to process the film immediately as clear weather was forecast on the way. I also wanted to get a shot of the Eskimo Nebula at ambient temperature. On April 19, I added five more photographs to the film and sent it off for processing. I got it back on the morning of April 21, and noticed a red star near the nucleus of one of the galaxies worthy of further investigation.

    • • • • • Richmond Hill Naturalists Chair James Young and Committee Members Planning & Economic Development Regional Municipality of York 17250 Yonge Street Newmarket, Ontario L3Y 6Z1 November 25, 2009 Dear Chair Young and Committee Members, RE: The David Dunlap Observatory & Park We are long-term residents of York Region, and have been active community service members, since our club's inception in 1955. Our group remains actively & continuously involved improving southern York Region, through tree planting, education, restoration and participating in planning and environmental assessments. Our research on this Park has confirmed that it was dedicated and accepted by the Province and Federal governments as a memorial to the late David Dunlap and “park for the citizens”. The University of Toronto for the past 20 years has tried to change the deed. In 2003, the university took the grandchildren of the donor Jessie Dunlap to court for four years and in 2007 settled out of court. This 189 acre parcel has developed from an open field farm in to a planned natural area and habitat for flora and fauna. Along with community involvement, the Province of Ontario also participated with a large contribution in 1939 of 3100 trees, half native and half non-native. We have altered our community planning to support the University work and enacted the first “dark skies” lighting by-law in Canada. York Region residents have also underwritten their taxes. The University has chosen to retreat to their city campus. The public has enjoyed and used this park each and every day for the past 73 years. Over time the David Dunlap Park and Observatory has developed into the largest greenspace and forested area in Southern York Region, south of the Moraine, and was once within the Oak Ridges Moraine boundaries and at the same elevation.

  • ASTRONOMY in CANADA 49 in Exploration for Minerals a Great
    ASTRONOMY IN CANADA 49 In exploration for minerals a great variety of techniques have been used, depending on the various physical properties by which ores differ from their surroundings. At present interest is perhaps greatest in the airborne magnetometer, certain airborne radiation detectors, and in electromagnetic methods. The recording from the air of small changes in the earth's magnetic field has led to such important recent discoveries as the magnetic iron ore at Marmora, Ont., and the base metal ores, associated with magnetic minerals, near Bathurst, N.B. Similarly, large areas are being investigated for radioactive deposits by means of airborne counters. Because many ore minerals are good electrical conductors they may be located by electromagnetic techniques, in which electric currents are induced irt subsurface conductors by primary alternating magnetic fields on the surface. Recent improvements in the method, including the use of a wide range of frequencies for the primary field, have led to such discoveries as the extensions of the Gaspe copper deposits. Gravitational methods also play a role in exploration for minerals and have the advantage that of all geophysical methods the indications are most closely related to the all important mass or tonnage of the bodies producing them. ASTRONOMY IN CANADA* The modern era of astronomy in Canada may be said to have begun in 1905 with the completion of the Dominion Observatory, the national observatory of Canada. Prior to then an astronomical observatory established in 1851 at Fredericton, N.B. was used for a short time to determine the longitude of that centre and for general astronomical pur­ poses; it has recently been rehabilitated as a historic monument.
