BACKGROUNDHistory of Bolton CampBolton Camp opened in 1922, acting as a Fresh Air Camp for mothers with small children and boys and girls from low income families. It was operated by The Neighborhood Workers Association of Toronto and spanned over 92 acres of hillside and wooded glen. In its first year it is estimated that 160 city children and their mothers traveled from Toronto to the Bolton Camp site. During the great depression of the late 20’s and 30’s this camp was a bright place for many disadvantaged kids to escape the heat and extreme poverty of the city. The camp was available free of charge to many families (on a case by case basis) through the Fresh Air Fund. During this time, there were a total of four separate camps which shared property and resources - Rotary, Sherbourne, Hastings and Howell.

As WWII began, Bolton Camp served as a Cadet Training Centre for the Oakville High School Cadet Corps. After the war ended, the site continued to operate as a camp for underprivileged youth with approximately 169 buildings and serving more than 5,500 campers at its peak. An outdoor education and conference centre was added in 1972, and the Ruth Atkinson Hindmarsh Family Lodge in 1984 to accommodate new programming and provide services for a wider audience. However, the camp closed its doors in 1999 after 77 years of operation and has remain mostly closed since that date, with Toronto Montessori operating a school on the conference centre portion in the early 2000's.

TRCA Acquisition and Community Consultation At Authority Meeting #5/10, held on June 25, 2010, Resolution #A102/10 was approved, in part, as follows:

THAT a partial taking containing 105.6 hectares (260.91 acres), more or less, consisting of an irregular shaped parcel of land improved with in excess of 30 buildings and a private water system and sewage system including two sewage lagoons, said lands being Part of Lots 7, 8, 9 and 10, Concession 8, Albion, Town of Caledon, in the Regional Municipality of Peel, municipally known as 13540-13650 Caledon-King Townline South, be purchased from the Hi-Lands of Bolton Corp.;

Since purchase of the property, TRCA staff has been consulting with municipal partners and community groups on redevelopment of the property and what it should ultimately be used for. Through this process, staff has developed a concept plan for re-purposing Bolton Camp from its previous use as an overnight summer camp for youth and families of Toronto to an outdoor centre for participants of all ages. Proposed programming at the renewed Bolton Camp may include adventure, sports and fitness activities, community art and culture programs, outdoor education and training, leadership development and social entrepreneurship opportunities.

The following agencies have been actively consulted in the initial phases of the development of the new Bolton Camp vision and/or have expressed an interest in participating in the project:

Region of Peel;

Town of Caledon;

Family Services Toronto;

Caledon Community Services;

YMCA GTA;

Peel Children and Youth Initiative;

United Way;

331

Social Enterprise Toronto;

Learning Enrichment Foundation;

Peel District School Board and Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board;

Artscape;

City of Brampton;

Bolton Rotary Club; and

Humber College.

Staff envisions that this new facility will be a place where people come together to learn, live, play and share in experiences. The new Bolton Camp is proposed to have sports fields, a gymnasium, pool, green fitness equipment, yoga classes, running clinics, an outdoor community kitchen, smoothie or coffee bar, tree-top tours/canopy tours, ropes courses, theatre and art spaces, retail or market space and outdoor classrooms/collaboration and innovation spaces, amongst others. A key, and unique, aspect of the Bolton Camp plan is to allow and support a wide range of business models, including social enterprises, co-operatives, not-for profits, and others, that provide youth, community members, service club and local entrepreneurs the opportunity to take an active role in creating, developing and implementing programs, services and activities, while improving employment and economic outcomes in the region.

In January of 2014, as a component of the consultation process, George Brown College's Institute without Boundaries was contracted to conduct a series of design charrettes for students from secondary schools in Peel Region. These charrettes were structured to allow participating students to develop ideas that can contribute to the revitalization of Bolton Camp and transform it into a destination place within the greater regional context. The outcomes of the charrettes were to provide unique and creative solutions/pilot projects for site programming and activity planning that may be implemented over the summer of 2014.

On May 22, 23, 26 and 27, 2014 over 120 students from Peel Region schools participated in the two day sessions, led and facilitated by George Brown College faculty and students, along with industry experts and community leaders. Participating students were from Humberview Secondary School (Bolton), Mayfield Secondary School (Caledon), R.F. Hall Catholic Secondary School (Caledon East), St. Marguerite d'Youville Catholic Secondary School (Brampton), St. Michael Catholic Secondary School (Bolton) and Ascension of Our Lord Catholic Secondary School (Mississauga). Work was guided by 10 key considerations (user needs, local and regional resources, sustainable design principles, universal and ethical design principles, safety and security, community impact, feasibility and affordability, resiliency, maintenance, and innovation and creativity) and groups were organized based on five key themes that reflect the overall vision of the future Bolton Camp:

arts and culture;

health and wellness;

education and social development;

food;

eco-recreation.

332

Students were grouped into multi-disciplinary teams that were challenged to think creatively and work collaboratively in order to develop innovative program interventions suitable for implementation at Bolton Camp. The caliber of work and output from the students was extremely high and feedback from both the students and school board staff and administrators was that the charrettes were a valuable and unique learning experience that will benefit the participants as they move through their academic career and in to the workplace.

Student work through the charrettes resulted in twenty proposed program and facility recommendations that form the basis for short, medium and long term work to revitalize Bolton Camp. Some of the innovative concepts and outcomes from this work includes:

a cultural centre and cultural festival;

pop-up festivals and markets;

youth innovation incubator and leadership lounge;

an outdoor activity zone and adventure village;

maker spaces and new technology camps;

community and artisanal food spaces;

arts and culture retreat space;

walk-in movie nights;

family camps;

a treehouse village.

Student Summer ProgramAs an outcome of the design charrettes, a summer employment program was developed to engage 70 secondary and college students in the initial stages of redevelopment of Bolton Camp, including clearing and securing buildings, improving habitat on site, clearing brush, building trails, social media and event planning, as well as implementing short-term recommendations stemming from the charrette process. Students participating in the design charrette program were given priority opportunities for employment, and the remaining students were hired through regular application and interview process and were drawn primarily from Peel Region with a small number from Toronto.

A unique component of the summer employment program was a strong emphasis on skill development and accelerating student knowledge and learning through mentorship. To achieve this, each participating student spent a minimum of one half day a week during the first month of their employment participating in seminars, field trips, hand-on learning experiences and connecting with experts from a wide range of fields. The intent of these mentorship experiences was to assist student learning and develop the skills required to complete their required tasks during their summer employment, as well as support their understanding and knowledge of specific professions or vocations that they may be interested in pursuing following their academic careers. Some of the development opportunities and mentorship opportunities included:

introduction to events and design -- Co-Effect Design;

accessible ramp design -- Ken Fukushima (Architect);

accessibility and design -- DesignABLE Environments Inc.;

creek restoration -- TRCA;

electrofishing and invertebrate studies -- TRCA;

furniture design and bee condos -- Sustainable T.O.;

branding and design -- Jacknife Design;

developing a Jane's Walk -- Jane's Walk.

333

In addition to these and other sessions, the students participated in field trips to Evergreen at the Brick Works, Todmorden Mills and YMCA Camp Cedar Glen, providing exposure to other similar regional attractions and improving their working knowledge of event planning and facility design and operations.

Over the course of the two month employment program, the summer students achieved considerable success in implementing a number of the key recommendations of the design charrettes, as well as preserving important built and natural heritage assets. Additionally, work was undertaken to develop Bolton Camp branding, websites, documentaries and a launch event to showcase the efforts to date, as well as future vision for this new facility. The following is a brief summary of work completed:

trail construction: 2km of new trails created;

habitat enhancement: bird boxes, snake hibernaculum, bee boxes and butterfly gardens

were created or established and debris cleared from the creeks;building restoration:

all 67 buildings were cleared out and boarded up. Over 320 cubic meters of waste was

removed;workshop was restored and secured, including new windows and doors;

the Kindergarten Building was cleaned and the interior painted;

three cabins were restored, including leveling and painting for future use.

furniture restoration: created restoration plans for 28 pieces of furniture salvaged from the

site and restored them for use or sale at the open house event;site maintenance and clearing: overgrown vegetation and hazard trees were removed,

along with general turf maintenance;marketing and communications:

webpage, newsletter and social media layouts were designed and a database of

content developed;a photographic summary of the site and a documentary of the students' work created;

way-finding and interpretive signage was developed.

arts and design:

preliminary brand and logo was developed;

unique sculptures were created using reclaimed materials;

an entrance sign and flag were developed;

murals were designed and painted at the Dining Hall and Gymnasium.

The culmination of the summer employment program will be a special launch event on October 4, 2014, where the students can showcase the work they have completed and welcome the community back to Bolton Camp. As part of their employment they have developed a series of activities and opportunities to engage the community in celebrating the history of Bolton Camp while exploring potential future uses of this site. Event activities will include:

video screenings;

Jane's Walks;

tours of restored buildings;

art displays;

children's activities, including a Bolton Camp colouring book;

silent auction of restored furniture and items donated by the community;

local food vendors and cooking demonstrations;

local exhibitors.

334

Invitations for the October 4 event have been circulated to the community as well as key stakeholders, partners and contributors.

DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONERedevelopment of Bolton Camp is a multi-year project and will require a significant investment from both the public and private sectors. TRCA will be developing special capital submissions to regional, provincial and federal governments, as well as private foundations and corporations to support the ongoing development of Bolton Camp. Critical short term requirements include securing funding for infrastructure renewal, including site servicing (sewer, water and electrical services) and building rehabilitation that are necessary to support the development of new programming at Bolton Camp. The following is a short overview of the 2014 to 2016 draft work plan for Bolton Camp:

Complete Bolton Camp Concept and Master Plan.

Establish the Bolton Camp Redevelopment Committee composed of stakeholders and

community members, as approved at Authority Meeting #3/14, held on April 25, 2014.Convert the Dining Hall and Gymnasium into four season use buildings.

Develop summer employment program for 2015.

Develop summer recreation, camp and community programs beginning 2015.

Commence detailed design and implementation of infrastructure renewal projects, including

site servicing (water, sewer and electrical services) and road and bridge repairs.Source necessary funding, including public and private fundraising and community

engagement campaigns.

FINANCIAL DETAILSThe total 10 year project cost for the full redevelopment of Bolton Camp is anticipated to be between $15 and $20 million. TRCA has identified $5.2 million within the Peel Region Capital Budget for the period of 2015 - 2024, in account 433-01.

Site servicing of sewer and water is anticipated to cost between $2.4 and $2.6 million and is not included within the existing capital budget. TRCA staff is in discussions with Region of Peel staff regarding funding for site servicing.

Additional sources of federal, provincial and private funding for capital and program development are being explored.

RES.#A140/14 - PEEL ECOSCHOOLS SUCCESSUpdate on status of the program and recognition.

Moved by: Colleen JordanSeconded by: Ronald Chopowick

THAT the administration, staff and students of the Peel District School Board and Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board be recognized and congratulated for their outstanding achievement within the Ontario EcoSchools certification program from 2009 to 2014;

THAT the Chairs of the Boards of Trustees of the Peel District School Board and Dufferin-Peel District School Board be so advised;

AND FURTHER THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) continue to support the Ontario EcoSchools program in Peel Region, contributing to a culture of sustainability across Ontario.

CARRIEDBACKGROUNDToronto and Region Conservation Authority has been engaged by the Region of Peel to undertake a number of initiatives related to climate change mitigation and adaptation in Peel Region. Since 2008, the Peel District School Board (PDSB) and the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board (DPCDSB) have been supported in their efforts to address regional climate change priorities through TRCA’s implementation of the Ontario EcoSchools program. Under the Peel EcoSchools Project, TRCA’s experience and expertise are made available to both schools and school boards, fostering capacity-building across all board departments and within school communities.

The central objective of the Ontario EcoSchools program is to mitigate the effects of climate change through a process of whole-school engagement in environmental action. The program rests on a certification framework that provides schools and school boards with benchmarks for environmental practices. By focusing on the following key areas, the program seeks to align what is taught in schools with the operational aspects of school sites:

teamwork and leadership;

energy conservation;

waste minimization;

ecological literacy;

school ground greening;

environmental stewardship.

Since 2002, Ontario EcoSchools’ annual certification program has demonstrated a history of achieving results within a collaborative framework. For example, an independent analysis of schools in the Toronto District School Board revealed that on average, certified EcoSchools use 12% less electricity and 7% less natural gas than comparable non-certified EcoSchools (Toronto District School Board Energy Management Program Review, 2006, ICF International, p.28-29).

Currently, 53 school boards in Ontario support the 1,745 certified schools across the province.

336

Accomplishments to DateAs a result of the ongoing work of TRCA, PDSB, DPCDSB, the Region of Peel and TRCA's other community partners, the Peel EcoSchools Project has engaged approximately 65% of schools in the Region of Peel, representing over 150,000 students.

TRCA’s implementation of the Peel EcoSchools Project incorporates opportunities to tailor initiatives and promote projects that align directly with internal and regional climate change priorities. It ensures that through the delivery of the EcoSchools program, environmental messages are consistently and accurately communicated with school communities. This level of support for a school-based, integrated approach to addressing climate change is unique to the Peel EcoSchools Project and exceptional within the provincial EcoSchools network.

School data is collected and reviewed annually to capture the impact of the program and to guide future initiatives. A summary of key measurables can be found below.

337

DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONEMoving forward, the Peel EcoSchools Project will focus on deepening whole-school engagement and will continue to work with stakeholders to develop locally relevant resources for school communities. Linking to the climate change priorities outlined by the Region of Peel, the distinct communities within the region, the school boards and TRCA, the project will support and recognize schools and school boards for their contribution to environmental action. Over the next academic year, it is TRCA's intention to further refine data collection systems, foster mentorship throughout the Region by implementing a “Demonstration EcoSchools” professional development model, and enhance outdoor spaces through the creation of a Peel greening guide.

FINANCIAL DETAILSThe 2014 budget for Peel EcoSchools is $265,000 and funding is provided through Peel Region Climate Change Capital in Account 129-80.

RES.#A141/14 - EVERGREEN BRICK WORKSExtension of Loan Guarantee. Extension of the bank loan guarantee for Evergreen for the development and operation of the Don Valley Brick Works.

Moved by: Gloria Lindsay LubySeconded by: Linda Pabst

THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) consent to extending the term of the current joint and several loan guarantee related to Evergreen's loan with the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) for the Brick Works Project by seven years, from its current expiration date of June 30, 2016, to the earlier of June 30, 2023, or termination or payout of the RBC loan;

THAT the joint and several loan guarantee be reduced in each calendar year to the amount as shown on Chart 2 of the staff report dated August 20, 2014;

THAT if Evergreen is unable to reach agreement with RBC on an amendment to the RBC loan, TRCA consents to Evergreen negotiating a new loan with another lender to replace the RBC loan;

THAT all amending and extension agreements, and all other agreements and undertakings, be on terms and conditions satisfactory to TRCA staff and solicitor;

338

AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take any and all actions necessary to implement the loan guarantee extension, including obtaining needed approvals and signing and execution of documents.

CARRIEDBACKGROUNDCity of Toronto Council on August 25, 26, 27 and 28, 2014, adopted the following:

1. City Council, subject to obtaining the consent of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (the "TRCA"), grant authority for the City, in conjunction with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, on such terms and conditions as are satisfactory to the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer, in consultation with the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, and in a form acceptable to the City Solicitor, to:

1. Consent to and acknowledge an amendment to the terms of the RBC Loan to extend the RBC Loan to June 30, 2023 subject to the following conditions:

a. reducing the $500,000 Cash Funds (the "City-Held Funds") provided by Evergreen to the City as security under the Lease Agreement by $200,000 the first year and then $100,000 per year for the following three years, and to apply the City Held Funds to the RBC Loan in accordance with Columns I and II of Schedule A to the report (August 6, 2014) from the Deputy City Manager, Cluster A, and the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer; and

b. requiring Evergreen to make annual principal payments on the RBC Loan in accordance with the schedule set out in Column III of Schedule A, so that together with payments made by the City of the City Held Funds, the maximum outstanding balance on the RBC Loan at the end of each calendar year shall not exceed the amount shown in Column IV of Schedule A to the report (August 6, 2014) from the Deputy City Manager, Cluster A, and the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer.

2. If Evergreen is unable to reach agreement with RBC on an amendment to the RBC Loan on the terms set out in Part 1.1 above, to consent to Evergreen negotiating a new loan with another lender to replace the RBC Loan (the "Replacement Loan") on the terms set out in Part 1.1 above.

3. To amend the joint and several guarantee in respect of the Project, or provide a new joint and several guarantee to a new lender if Evergreen negotiates a Replacement Loan (the "Guarantee"), on the following terms:

a. extending the term of the Guarantee by 7 years, from its current expiration on June 30, 2016 to expiration on the earlier of June 30, 2023 or the earlier date of termination or payout of the RBC Loan or the Replacement Loan; and

b. reducing the amount of the Guarantee in each calendar year to the amount shown in Column II of Schedule B to the report (August 6, 2014) from the Deputy City Manager, Cluster A, and the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer.

339

2. City Council authorize the City to enter into any Project-related agreements and amending agreements, including without limitation loan-related documents, guarantees, leases, consents, acknowledgements and agreements or ancillary documents between any or all of the following, the City, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, Evergreen and RBC, or another Lender, and any such other parties as may be required, which, in the opinion of the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, in consultation with the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer, and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor, may be required, desirable or necessary to give effect to City Council's decision.

3. City Council request Evergreen Brick Works to report to the Executive Committee on their fundraising activities on an annual basis and be encouraged to enhance onsite promotion to visitors of donation opportunities.

TRCA owns the Don Valley Brick Works lands and the lands are under management agreement with the City of Toronto. In September of 2003, following discussions with TRCA and other stakeholders, the City of Toronto issued a request for proposal (RFP) seeking proponents to raise the capital necessary for the restoration and adaptive re-use of the heritage structures at the Don Valley Brick Works to create a centre for environmental learning and urban ecology (Project). Evergreen, a national registered charity incorporated in 1991, responded to the RFP. TRCA staff cooperated with the City in reviewing proposals and a Memorandum of Understanding was entered into with Evergreen to proceed with the Project.

In 2006, Evergreen submitted a Master Plan to the City for the restoration and adaptive re-use of the Don Valley Brick Works site, and subsequently entered into a ground lease with TRCA and the City for the Project. At that time, the Project cost was estimated at $50 million, of which Evergreen had received commitments from the Province of Ontario for $10 million and from the federal government for $15 million, and had raised over $6 million in private donation pledges. The City and TRCA were requested to provide a joint loan guarantee for $3 million towards the Project cost with a term to expire four years after substantial completion.

In 2007, the Project cost had increased to $55 million. The federal government increased its contribution to $20 million and Evergreen anticipated raising $12 million in private donations towards capital and a further $13 million in private donations towards programming. The City and TRCA agreed to an increase in the loan guarantee to $7.5 million. In 2008, various changes to the Project were made, but the Project cost remained unchanged at $55 million.

The Evergreen Brick Works Project was substantially completed at the end of December 2010 within the approved budget of $55 million. Evergreen raised almost $50.2 million of the Project's cost leaving a fundraising target shortfall of $4.8 million. Evergreen has financed the Project construction in part through a $11.52 million loan from Royal Bank of Canada, to which the City and TRCA provided the joint and several loan guarantee of up to $7.5 million. The RBC loan required Evergreen to show that they had sufficient committed pledges by September 30, 2011 to meet the shortfall, and other milestones to ensure the RBC loan would be extinguished by December 2014. In 2011, Evergreen requested an extension in the period to repay the loan due to slower than anticipated fundraising revenues. The City and TRCA granted Evergreen an 18 month extension to the loan guarantee term.

340

RATIONALEEvergreen has raised almost $50.2 million of the project cost, leaving a current fundraising shortfall of $4.8 million. In 2013, Evergreen ceased actively fundraising for the repayment of the RBC loan, an action arising from Evergreen's on-going discussions with their Board, lenders and other stakeholders. Evergreen has advised that the capital fundraising model is no longer effective as donors typically support new capital projects and Evergreen Brick Works is essentially complete. Evergreen's new strategy for repaying the loan has shifted from using a fundraising revenue model to business/site based earnings. This shift translates into lower but predictable annual loan repayments from operating cash flow.

Evergreen's primary source of operating income is from businesses that operate as social enterprises with events, garden markets and parking. Evergreen's financial statements show a track record of balanced budgets. Revenue has increased from $7.3 million in 2010 to a projected budget of approximately $12.6 million in 2014, providing a projected cash flow of approximately between $500,000 and $550,000 annually. Evergreen proposes to use this operating income directly to repay the outstanding capital loan.

City staff has undertaken a review of Evergreen's revised financing, operations and business plan and has determined that Evergreen is in a sound financial position to retire its debt obligations for the capital loan by June 2023 from operating income. The City has agreed to reducing the $500,000 cash funds provided by Evergreen to the City as security under the Lease Agreement by $200,000 the first year and then $100,000 per year for the following three years to be applied to the RBC loan. The proposed repayment schedule is set out in Chart 1.

RBC has not given final approval of the terms and conditions of the loan amendments. Should RBC's approval not be given, Evergreen will negotiate a new loan with another lender to replace the RBC loan.

RES.#A142/14 - CITY OF TORONTO STORMWATER MANAGEMENT POND CLEAN-OUT PARTNERSHIP UPDATECity of Toronto stormwater management pond project update; continue SWMP Maintenance and Clean-out Program for a further two ponds.

Moved by: Gloria Lindsay LubySeconded by: Michael Di Biase

WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) has completed the clean-outs of three stormwater management ponds in partnership with the City of Toronto;

AND WHEREAS the City of Toronto has requested TRCA to implement two additional pond clean-outs;

342

THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT TRCA continue to work with the City of Toronto for the delivery of a Stormwater Management Pond (SWMP) Maintenance and Clean-out Program;

THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take any action necessary to continue the partnership including obtaining any required approvals and the signing and execution of documents;

AND FURTHER THAT approval be granted for TRCA to implement two additional stormwater management pond clean-outs in 2014-2015.

CARRIEDBACKGROUNDIn spring 2013, the Operations Division of Toronto Water approached TRCA's Restoration Services Division to seek opportunities for TRCA to assist with the maintenance of their stormwater management ponds. The City of Toronto is estimated to have approximately 63 SWMPs under its management. The City identified seven priority ponds for management and clean-out. Four of the ponds are located in Scarborough: Sisters of St. Joseph, Lansing, Centennial and L’Amoreaux. The other three are located within High Park: Wendigo, Upper & Lower Spring Creek and Lower Duck.

At Authority Meeting #7/13, held on September 27, 2013, Resolution #A141/13 was approved as follows:

THAT approval be granted for Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to enter into a partnership with the City of Toronto for the delivery of a Stormwater Management Pond Maintenance and Clean-out Program;

THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take any action necessary to implement the partnership including obtaining any required approvals and the signing and execution of documents;

THAT approval be granted for TRCA to implement two stormwater management pond plans in 2013;

AND FURTHER THAT staff report back regularly on the progress of the project.

During the summer of 2013, TRCA completed maintenance and clean-out plans for the seven SWM ponds. Further to which, TRCA received approval from the City of Toronto to commence implementation for two of the seven ponds: Sisters of St. Joseph and Lansing SWMPs. Sediment quality testing prior to implementation indicated that dredgeate from both SWMPs would require an industrial disposal option, because contamination levels that exceeded the Ministry of the Environment's (MOE) 2011 guidelines for Residential/Parkland/Institutional Property.

343

In September 2013, work began on Sisters of St. Joseph Pond, located northwest of St. Clair Avenue East and Warden Avenue in Scarborough. This SWMP discharges into Taylor Massey Creek in the Don watershed. Through a strategic mechanical dredging operation, and the use of a bentonite clay polymer additive (LiquiSorb 2000), 790 cubic metres of sediment was removed from the pond. Dredgeate contamination levels were again analyzed prior to hauling and met MOE's 2011 guidelines for Residential/Parkland/Institutional Property. Therefore, the dredgeate could be disposed of in a residential/parkland fill site, rather than an industrial disposal site. An as-built survey of the SWMP was completed and the site was restored and planted. As a result of the parkland disposal option, as well as site efficiencies that were achieved, a cost savings of $134,431 was realized for the City of Toronto.

Sisters of St. Joseph Pond Clean-out Cost Savings to the City of Toronto

Total Estimate Cost Total Actual Cost Cost Savings$333,890 $199,459 $134,431

Upon completion of the first pond, the second pond, Lansing Pond, located southeast of the Highway 401 and Kennedy Road, in Scarborough was implemented. This SWMP discharges into the Bendale Branch of the West Highland Creek in the Highland Creek watershed. Through a strategic mechanical dredging operation, and the use of a bentonite clay polymer additive (LiquiSorb 2000), 640 cubic metres of sediment was removed from the pond. Dredgeate contamination levels were again analyzed prior to hauling, and after dredging, and met MOE's 2011 guidelines for Residential/Parkland/Institutional Property. Therefore, the dredgeate could be disposed of in a residential/parkland fill site, rather than an industrial disposal site for which preliminary tests had indicated. An as-built survey of the SWMP was completed, the site was restored and planted. As a result of the parkland disposal option, as well as site efficiencies that were achieved, a cost savings of $164,399 was realized for the City of Toronto.

Lansing Pond Clean-out Cost Savings to the City of Toronto

Total Estimate Cost Total Actual Cost Cost Savings$328,197 $163,798 $164,399

TRCA realized a cost savings of nearly $300,000 from the implementation of the clean-outs of the first two ponds. The partnership with the City of Toronto enabled TRCA to pass these saving back to the City of Toronto. As a result, the City authorized the clean out of a third pond, Centennial Pond, immediately after the completion of Lansing Pond. TRCA was able to immediately mobilize and implement the clean-out plan for the third pond.

344

Centennial Pond is located northeast of Kingston Road and Meadowvale Road in Scarborough. This SWMP is an online pond and is part of Centennial Creek in the Highland Creek watershed. TRCA again strategically utilized mechanical dredging equipment, and removed 640 cubic metres of sediment from the SWMP. The dredging took place in the winter of 2014, and frozen material was handled, and stockpiled without the need of a bentonite clay polymer additive. The dredgeate was stockpiled on City of Toronto property immediately adjacent to the SWMP, and was left to be dewatered over the summer 2014. An as-built survey of the SWMP was completed, and the site was restored and planted. The dredgeate contaminant levels will be tested again in the fall of 2014 to determine the disposal option and associated cost. The total estimated cost of clean-out and disposal is $301,462.53. Upon re-analysis of the dredgeate and disposal of the material, the final costs will be realized. It is again anticipated that further savings to the City will be achieved.

On July 23, 2014, TRCA received authorization from the City of Toronto to commence SWMP clean-out activities at two additional ponds (Wendigo Pond and Upper & Lower Spring Creek ponds). These ponds are in High Park and the work is scheduled to commence in the fall of 2014.

RATIONALETRCA has identified SWMPs as an integral component of water resources management within TRCA jurisdiction, as SWMPs improve water quality and provide flood and erosion control. Dredging these SWMPs will ensure they continue to provide the surrounding areas with effective flood control and water quality management. Without regular maintenance, the ponds cannot continue to provide flood control and water quality management as designed. TRCA recommends annual monitoring of SWMPs for sediment capacity and general condition, which is in keeping with MOE's guidelines for SWMPs.

The first three ponds were cleaned out because they were at capacity for sediment volume. These three ponds will become case studies and good examples of pond maintenance in TRCA’s jurisdiction.

TRCA has discussed the maintenance and management of SWMPs with various partner municipalities and agencies. It is agreed that there is an immediate need to showcase the feasibility and benefits of routine pond maintenance and the practical construction techniques. Many of the SWMPs across TRCA’s jurisdiction are now reaching their design capacities and are in need of maintenance. It is estimated that there are over 800 SWMPs within the City of Toronto, and York, Peel and Durham regions, with another 100 planned in the future to support proposed new development. This is a significant opportunity for TRCA to work with its partner municipalities to promote TRCA's programs and watershed management expertise.

The management of SWMPs is consistent with the TRCA’s Strategic Plan, specifically: priority strategy #2 manage our regional water resources for current and future generations, and strategy #7 build partnerships and new business models.

The opportunity to work with City of Toronto Water allows TRCA to promote its current pond management techniques, provides a cost effective option for our partner municipality, and advances the scientific knowledge and best management practices for SWMPs. This also provides the opportunity to target ponds that TRCA has assessed for retrofit potential to achieve higher water quality standards and flood protection.

345

DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Work at Centennial Pond will be completed in fall 2014. Testing of dredgeate contaminant levels will determine the disposal option and final cost.

TRCA will commence clean-out implementation planning for two of the three High Park SWMPs (Wendigo Pond and Upper & Lower Spring Creek ponds), which are expected to be cleaned out in late 2014 and early 2015. It is recognized that High Park is a well-used area with many interested stakeholder groups, and therefore public consultation will be key in planning the SWMP clean-out activities. There is an opportunity to improve the parkette immediately north of Wendigo Pond, since this area will be the main access route to clean out the SWMP. TRCA will work with City of Toronto staff from Parks, Forestry & Recreation to determine if the parkette can be restored to a condition better than its current condition once the clean-out of Wendigo Pond is complete. Wendigo Pond is estimated to contain 1,008 cubic metres of sediment to be removed, and Upper & Lower Spring Creek ponds are estimated to contain 2,280 cubic metres of sediment to be removed.

TRCA will continue to meet biweekly with City of Toronto to plan and schedule the clean-out of SWMPs at High Park (Wendigo Pond, Upper & Lower Spring Creek Ponds and Lower Duck Pond) and L'Amoreaux Pond.

TRCA will showcase the recently dredged SWMPs (Sisters of St. Joseph, Lansing and Centennial Ponds) as case studies and make presentations to partners and industry.

FINANCIAL DETAILSThe funding for the pond clean-outs is 100% recoverable from the City of Toronto, Toronto Water, within accounts 113-24 and 113-25 for Wendigo and the Spring Creek SWMPs, respectively. As with all of the SWMP clean-outs, any cost savings will be passed on to the City of Toronto for future SWMP work.

RES.#A143/14 - PORTSIDE DEVELOPMENTS (KIPLING) INC.Authorization for party status and to appear before the Ontario Municipal Board on referrals related to an Official Plan Amendment application and a Zoning By-Law Amendment application to permit the development of a proposed 7-storey apartment building (condominium) on a property municipally known as 7476 Kipling Avenue, described as being Part of Lot 4, Concession 8, in the City of Vaughan.

346

Moved by: Deb SchulteSeconded by: Linda Pabst

THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff be directed to request party status before the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) and to appear on behalf of TRCA in an appeal of an Official Plan Amendment application, and a Zoning By-Law Amendment application on lands on the west side of Kipling Avenue, south of Highway #7, municipally known as 7476 Kipling Avenue, in the City of Vaughan (File Nos. OP.13.003 and Z.13.005);

THAT the OMB be advised that TRCA has outstanding issues relating to the Official Plan Amendment application and Zoning By-Law Amendment application;

THAT staff be directed to work cooperatively with City of Vaughan, the appellant and other parties to ensure that the requirements of the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program (VSCMP) and Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) are met;

THAT staff be authorized to retain legal counsel to pursue this appeal before the OMB, if required;

AND FURTHER THAT the OMB and all parties and participants to the hearing be so advised.

CARRIEDBACKGROUNDDescription of the ApplicationsThe proponent submitted applications to amend the Official Plan (OP) and the Zoning By-Law of the Vaughan Planning Area to facilitate the development of a 7-storey apartment building (128 units) and 177 parking spaces (Condominium) on the subject lands. These applications were initially received by TRCA on April 22, 2013. The applications have since been revised on May 30, 2014.

The subject lands are currently designated ‘Low Rise Residential’ as per OPA #240 Section 3.2(h), which permits only single family dwellings. The lands are designated as ‘Low Rise Residential’, in the new Vaughan Official Plan (VOP) (2010), which was adopted by Vaughan Council on September 7, 2010 (as modified on September 27, March 20, 2012 and April, 2012) as further modified and endorsed by Region of York Council on June 28, 2012. The VOP 2010 is before the Ontario Municipal Board and most of it has been approved and is in effect.

Zoning By-Law 1-88 of the City of Vaughan zones the property as PB1 Parkway Belt 1, although the lands have been deleted from the Parkway Belt West Plan.

TRCA staff submitted written comments on the applications to the City and the proponent on June 10, 2013. TRCA comments were provided based on staff review of submitted technical documents. In addition, TRCA staff participated in a pre-consultation process with the applicant along with their consulting team. A site walk was conducted on June 19, 2012. At that time, the applicant and their consultants were informed of TRCA policies which would affect the redevelopment potential of the subject property.

347

Description of the AreaThe subject parcel is 1.38 ha (3.41 ac) in total area and is located on the west side of Kipling Avenue and south of Regional Road 7. The property contains a relatively steep and high/deep slope which forms the valley wall of the Rainbow/Robinson Creek valley corridor. Rainbow/Robinson Creek is a tributary to the Main Humber River and has been identified as redside dace habitat by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR). This valley corridor is regulated by TRCA under Ontario Regulation 166/06, as amended, (Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses). Permits are required from TRCA for works within the Regulated Area including for site grading and development of the subject proposal.

This reach of the creek is generally covered with mature, forested and vegetated areas that extend up both sides of the valley and onto the adjacent tableland areas. The valley area and the mature forested tableland areas, are of high ecological value. These valley slopes along with the vegetated area surround and form part of the subject lands including the north, western and southern sides, while Kipling Avenue is located immediately east of the property.

In addition, it is noted that the subject lands are partially designated as Core Features under the City of Vaughan’s Natural Heritage Network in the VOP 2010 (Attachment 2). The woodlot identified on the subject site (which is also contiguous with the valley system) is also within the Regional Greenlands System within the York Region Official Plan.

RATIONALEBased on the materials and proposal before it, City of Vaughan Planning staff prepared a report to the Committee of the Whole of the City of Vaughan recommending refusal of the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-Law Amendment applications (June 17, 2014). The report raised concerns with respect to issues of conformity with the Vaughan Official Plan, the Regional Municipality of York Official Plan, the Provincial Policy Statement and the Growth Plan. It was noted that the proposal, when considered comprehensively in context with the existing low density residential community and the planned vision for the area, did not represent good planning. In addition, it was felt that the proposed development did not respect the local area and did not appropriately contribute to the existing community. The applications were not supported by staff or Council.

In addition to the recommendation to refuse the applications by City of Vaughan planning staff, Region of York staff do not support the applications as proposed. The proposed development was noted as being incompatible with the surrounding neighbourhood and did not represent appropriate development of the subject lands since the scale of the development proposed is not consistent or compatible with the existing community or the planned development envisaged by OPA #240.

On March 5, 2013, the applicant appealed Volume 1 and 2 of the VOP 2010 on the basis that no decision was made on the OP within 180 days as outlined in the Planning Act. The applicant appealed the policies that apply to the subject lands as they do not permit ‘Mid-Rise Residential’, the form of development proposed on the property.

348

On July 29, 2013 and September 12, 2013, the owner appealed the Zoning By-Law and Official Plan Amendment applications, respectively, to the OMB, citing that the City of Vaughan failed to make a decision on the applications within the timeframes prescribed by the Planning Act. Subsequent to this, an OMB Pre-hearing was held on March 27, 2014, with a second Pre-hearing conference scheduled for October 6, 2014, at which time an OMB hearing is expected to be scheduled. A hearing is expected to be scheduled for December 2014 or January 2015.

TRCA does not have a record of receiving the original notice of the appeal nor scheduled OMB Pre-hearing conference and thus, only became aware of the matter in May 2014.

TRCA IssuesBased on staff review of the proponent’s submission including the most recent revisions, there are generally five outstanding issues relating to the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment applications:

(1) Development LimitsThe limits of the natural features on the property including the physical top of bank and dripline of significant vegetation contiguous with the valley corridor have not been identified by TRCA staff nor delineated for the subject applications. Thus far, the applicant has provided conceptual site plans illustrating development and natural feature limits unilaterally established by the applicant and their consulting team. This requirement for a formal site walk to identify and establish the feature limit was conveyed at the pre-consultation/informal site walk on June 19, 2012 and in TRCA correspondence of June 10, 2013. In addition, the Long Term Stable Top of Bank needs to be incorporated in the development limit finalization and an appropriate development block confirmed. At this time, the proposed development encroaches upon several natural features including a woodlot contiguous with the valley corridor.

(2) Environmental Impact StudyThe applicant has submitted an Environmental Impact Study, which has been reviewed by TRCA technical staff. Several deficiencies have been identified; however, these issues have not been satisfactorily addressed:i) Encroachment of the development in the woodland on the property and into the valley corridor.ii) No analysis on the significance of this woodland and/or demonstrating that there will be minimal impacts on the natural features or their ecological functions.iii) No analysis of the loss of function of the existing feature.

DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONETRCA staff will continue to work with the proponent and the City of Vaughan to find an amenable resolution to this matter in order to avoid a full OMB hearing. It is hoped given the nature of our comments, the proposal can be revised sufficiently in order to comply with the PPS, its associated natural hazard policies and TRCA’s natural heritage policies and stormwater management criteria.

Should a resolution not be reached between the parties, TRCA staff is also requesting the authorization of the Authority to attend the OMB hearing to ensure that TRCA interests are protected and addressed.

349

Staff has been in contact with legal counsel regarding this file and will continue to engage their services as needed as this matter progresses. Should legal counsel be required for the hearing, staff will coordinate with other parties to ensure TRCA’s presence at the hearing is shortened and legal costs are minimized.

CARRIEDBACKGROUNDOak Ridges Corridor Conservation Reserve East is a 175 hectare conservation property located in the Town of Richmond Hill and owned by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and Infrastructure Ontario. In 2011, TRCA completed the Oak Ridges Corridor Park East Management Plan, which recommends the construction of a granular surface recreational spine trail through the property.

The recreational trail will be a 5.5 kilometre long linear section of new pedestrian and cycling trail infrastructure, located on scenic TRCA lands within the Town of Richmond Hill, and ideally situated to provide connection opportunities with inter-regional, regional, commuter and local trail networks. The trail represents a key piece of trail infrastructure in helping to achieve many of the trail planning and sustainable transportation objectives of the Regional Municipality of York, the Town of Richmond Hill, TRCA and the Oak Ridges Trail Association.

The construction of this trail will be implemented in four phases. Construction of Phase 1 was completed in the spring of 2014, at which time TRCA staff retained Sustainable Trails Ltd. to complete the detailed design for Phase 2 of the project. Phase 2 on the trail construction consists of a section of trail approximately 1.3 kilometres in length that traverses hilly, forested and environmentally sensitive terrain. The desired trail will be 3.0 metres in width and will have a granular surface.

372

TRCA now requires the services of a qualified contractor to carry out construction of the proposed trail which will include the installation of a 1.3 kilometre long granular trail, installation of an Envirolok retaining and the installation of four HDPE culverts. Construction will is scheduled to begin in October 2014.

The variance between the low and high bid is a result of each bidder's experience and specialization with the proposed work. Esposito Bros Construction Ltd. is a large corporation with high overhead that cannot compete with smaller companies that specialize in this line of work.

Staff reviewed the bid received from TBG Landscape Inc. against its own cost estimate and has determined that the bid is of reasonable value and also meets the requirements and deliverables as outlined in the contract documents. Further assessment by TRCA staff of TBG Landscape Inc. experience and ability to undertake similar projects was conducted through reference checks which resulted in positive feedback that TBG Landscape Inc. is capable of undertaking the scope of work.

Based on the evaluation of the bids received, staff recommend that TBG Landscape Inc. be awarded Contract RSD14-131 for the supply of all labour, materials and equipment necessary to construct a nature trail in the Town of Richmond Hill for a total amount not to exceed $257,464.85 to be expended as authorized by TRCA staff, plus a 20% contingency, plus HST, it being the lowest bid that meets TRCA specifications.

RES.#A147/14 - ALBION HILLS CONSERVATION AREA ROADWAY BASE WORK Contract RSD14-141 Extension. Authorization to increase the approved value of Contract RSD14-141 for supply of all labour, equipment and materials necessary for roadway base repairs at Albion Hills Conservation Area in the Town of Caledon.

Moved by: Maria AugimeriSeconded by: Dave Ryan

THAT Contract RSD14-141 awarded to Diamond Earthworks Corporation Limited for supply of all labour, equipment and materials necessary for 5,000 square metres of roadway base repairs at Albion Hills Conservation Area in the Town of Caledon be increased by 3,000 square metres at a cost of $50,582.92, for a revised total cost of $140,479.67, to be expended as authorized by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff, plus HST.

BACKGROUNDThe current roadway at Albion Hills Conservation Area (AHCA) is far past its life expectancy. Over time, the elements and traffic have caused several areas of the primary road network to deteriorate to the point that replacement is necessary to ensure the safety of users.

Contract RSD14-141 received approval of TRCA's Chief Executive Officer on September 5th

, 2014. The original scope of work for Contract RSD14-141 included roadway base repairs for approximately 5,000 square metres with drainage. The scope of work has now been increased to include an additional 3,000 square metres of roadway base repairs with drainage. The original scope of work was limited due to budget restrictions as staff estimates were higher than the rates provided within the tender bid. Therefore given the low unit rates provided by Diamond Earthworks Corporation Limited, TRCA is now able to expand the scope of work for Contract 14-141. The additional roadway construction will be completed along the 500 linear metre roadway leading to the Albion Hills Field Centre. The work will include scarification, re-grading, new granular installation and compacting the granular base to 98% Standard Proctor Density, with testing completed by Terraprobe.

The additional roadway repairs will ensure that AHCA roads are meeting the required safety regulations. TRCA staff, therefore, propose to retain Diamond Earthworks Corporation Limited for additional roadway base repairs along the 500 linear metre roadway leading to the Albion Hills Field Centre.

RATIONALEThis project is aligned with leadership strategy number four in TRCA’s new strategic plan. Through new development and redevelopment TRCA will achieve a more sustainable balance and integration of natural and built elements.

The Town of Caledon committed to coordinate and pave the entire 8,000 square metre section of roadway within AHCA. Given the deteriorated state of the roadways within AHCA, paving will be a necessity to ensure the safety of the roads. Therefore TRCA staff has proposed to complete as much of the roadway base repairs as possible in 2014 in order to take advantage of the partnership with Town of Caledon.

The costs associated with Diamond Earthworks Corporation Limited to complete the additional roadway construction are based on the unit rates provided within Contract RSD14-141. Retaining Diamond Earthwork Corporation Limited will cut the costs of mobilization and demobilization and TRCA staff costs of procuring a new contract. The extra work will fall under the same terms and conditions as prescribed in Contract RSD14-141.

FINANCIAL DETAILSUpon Authority approval a Change Order will be issued to Diamond Earthworks Corporation Limited for supply of all labour, equipment and materials necessary for additional roadway base repairs at Albion Hills Conservation Area in the Town of Caledon.

Funds to complete the original contract are provided by Peel Region in the Peel Campground capital budget 420-63.

375

Funds to complete the additional work are provided by Peel Region in the Peel Climate Change Mitigation capital budget 2014.

CARRIEDBACKGROUNDAt Authority Meeting #8/08, held on October 24, 2008, Resolution #A244/08 was approved in camera as it pertains to legal matters in which TRCA is involved. Confidential minutes were retained as a record of this item at the meeting. As a matter of policy, TRCA reports back on in camera items when they can become public so a record of the resolution appears in public minutes.

RATIONALEAt the time the report was prepared, TRCA had entered into an agreement with another owner under Section 30 of the Expropriation Act to allow construction of the Port Union Waterfront Improvement Project Phase 2 to commence. A Section 30 agreement allows TRCA to obtain title to the property and allows the owner to have the opportunity to arbitrate the compensation payable without going through the expropriation process. This agreement has now been settled.
