Title: Adapting to Climate Variability and Change in Ontario Citation: Smith, J., Lavender, B., Auld, H., Broadhurst, D., Bullock, T. (March 1998). Adapting to climate variability and change in Ontario. Ottawa: Environment Canada. Author(s): Smith, Jamie Lavender, Beth Auld, Heather Broadhurst, David Bullock, Tim Abstract: The Canada Country Study (CCS): Climate Impacts and Adaptation is a national evaluation of the impacts of climate change and variability on Canada as a whole, including consideration of existing and potential adaptive responses. In presenting this national perspective, it draws upon studies of a number of regional, sectoral and cross-cutting issues. In providing Canadians with a balanced, realistic picture of what climate change and variability means for Canada as a whole, the CCS effort builds upon a number of sectoral and regional impact studies that have been completed during the past decade. The CCS will provide information to Canadian policy makers in the public and private sectors, socio- economic decision makers, the scientific community both domestically and internationally, non-government organizations, and the Canadian general public.

Consulting Engineers (1989). Ataratiri Survey of Existing Buildings and Structures. July 14, 1989. Author(s): Anrep Associates Ltd. Consulting Engineers Lambur Scott Architects Abstract: The Housing Department of the City of Toronto planned to redevelop the St. Lawrence Square Neighbourhood from industrial use to a mixed-use neighbourhood, containing residential and commercial areas. The objective of this survey was to provide an overview of the existing buildings and structures in the St. Lawrence Square Neighbourhood for the purpose of determining possible temporary or permanent re-use of individual buildings within the context of a future development plan. The report is presented as a catalogue providing a summary of each building/structure. Description: Each summary contains: a) a map of the building/structure's location, b) a photographic illustration of the property frontage, c) a typical floor plan and building section, d) a brief description of the overall, architectural, structural, site and environmental conclusions, e) general comments and conclusions.

(1997). Best Management Practices: Program Implementation City of St. Catharines. Author(s): Toth, Cindy Abstract: Within the development of St. Catherine's Pollution Control Strategy, finalized in June 1990, best management practices (BMPs) for stormwater management were evaluated to complement recommendations focused on combined sewer overflow (CSO) control capital projects. Source quality controls such as enhanced street sweeping and catchbasin cleaning, and pet litter bylaw enforcement, and quantity controls such as downspout disconnection were reviewed. Expected improvements in stormwater quality and/or quantity supported recommendations for the implementation of downspout disconnection, anti-litter control, environmental public education, and sewer and water quality monitoring programs. A pollution abatement program was also recommended for the surveillance of dry weather water quality being discharged from outfalls.
