Guest: Chris Darling, Central Lake Ontario Conservation
The Conservation Authorities Act, which was passed in 1946, laid the groundwork for
the implementation of watershed management in Ontario. The concept of Conservation
Authorities was based on three fundamental principles: cost sharing between municipal
and provincial governments; local initiative (Authorities would be formed only when
municipalities petitioned the province); and watershed -wide planning.
Although conservation may seem like a vital part of life today, the need was not always
recognized. By 1954, 20 conservation authorities had been formed; then came the fury
of Hurricane Hazel.
Hurricane Hazel devastated southern Ontario overnight on October 15, 1954 killing 81
people and causing $20 million dollars in damage. Today, watershed management
programs undertaken by Conservation Authorities have virtually eliminated catastrophic
flooding in Ontario.
Conservation Authorities are regarded as world leaders in conservation, environmental
protection, and flood control. CLOCA owns approximately 6,000 hectares of land, ,
including areas in the Oak Ridges Moraine, Carolinian forest, wetlands and important
fish and wildlife habitat. This represents about 1 % of the area (630 sq.km) that CLOCA
covers from Pickering through Clarington and north to the Oak Ridges Moraine. It is the
only CA in Ontario that is wholly within one political jurisdiction, being Durham Region.
Chris spoke about the different areas of responsibility the CA has: development review
including regulation /permits, flood forecasting and warning, land and water
conservation, source water protection, stewardship and watershed planning. The CA
has an approved land acquisition strategy and has been acquiring lands for long term
protection of features through the assistance of other funding agencies.
Question: Do flood lines change? Answer: Yes, they are updated over time and as
features change and mapping improves; an example of change was the installation of
the middle median on the 401 or the removal of impediments along water courses.
Question: What are the priority areas for acquisition? Answer: There is no timeframe
in the strategy, we consider properties when they are offered and look at growing
around already owned areas and natural features that are significant. The CA has
powers under its Act and Planning Act to severe land.
Question: What is the reasoning for conditions placed on lands that have been
purchased by CLOCA which for years been leased by farmers and now requires a
change to their cropping practice? Answer: CA tends not to acquire agricultural lands
and if they do, they try to maintain existing leasing agreements. Using a crop cover
could be an approach taken rather than planting hay from a wildlife and /or bird
perspective. The CA will work with the renter to figure out arrangements.
I
Question: Stewardship funding: CLOCA used to provide grants for Best Management
Practices and Environmental Farm Plans but there has been none for the past 5 years,
why? GRCA provides grants and there is a disparity in Clarington between the two
watersheds. Answer: CA funds programs /services as directed by Board of Directors
based on priorities within CLOCA's watershed.
Question: Great Lakes Agricultural Stewardship Initiative included funding for Lake Erie
and Lake Huron, why not Lake Ontario; are the other lakes at, greater risk? Answer:
CLOCA has not been involved in this initiative to date. Program is likely focused on
most stressed lakes. Possibility that it may be expanded in future.
Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington March 12 '", 2015
Question: Some wetlands can be tile drained and they would be viable for farming.
How does CLOCA view this? Answer: Generally CLOCA does not support tile
drainage of wetlands. However, there may be cases where the CA could consider
looking for a net benefit, agree some small areas may be drained.
Question: Will you look at property and advise.on drainage before a farmer purchases?
Answer: Information is desk top, it is improving all the time and we have historical
aerials but only past 10 -15 years. Each property is looked at on a case by case basis
when a development application is received.
Question: Does the CA accept bequeaths and have other fundraising programs?
Answer: Yes we do both, however there is a cost to mounting fundraising programs.
Question: Why are there no farmers or private citizens on the Board of Directors?
Answer: The Board is appointed by Durham Region Council based on the
recommendations /nominations from local Councils.
Question: Who are your agricultural experts that you seek advice from? Answer:
Some staff are farmers, we are a smaller CA and have good local knowledge.
Development permit staff have experience in this area.
Ted thanked Chris for attending.
Committee Orientation

BUSINESS ARRISING
Jury Lands Foundation (Camp 30) — F. Langmaid reported that there was a meeting
between Jury Lands Foundation members, the owners of the property (Kaitlin Group
and Fandor Homes) and special guests Jim Mountain (Director of Regeneration
Projects, National Trust), James Goad (Cityscape Development Corp., Distillery District)
and Hans Honegger (Bon Eco Design). The National Trust is preparing a report on the
day that will include suggested next steps for all involved.
The committee asked at what stage the committee may become involved in the project.
F. Langmaid responded that the buildings are on the municipal register and that the
committee's input would be important to different stakeholders once a vision or future
plan was brought forward.
Community Improvement Liaison Committees — F. Langmaid identified that previously
heritage committee members sat on the Community Improvement Plan Liaison
Committees as a representative of the Heritage Committee. Councillor Hooper offered
to continue on the Bowmanville Community Improvement Plan Liaison Committee
meetings. . Langmaid reported that Karin Murphy, who was a previous member of
Heritage Committee, would be willing to continue on the Orono Community
Improvement Plan Liaison Committee and provide a voice for heritage if no current
members had an interest. The committee members felt that would be appropriate. Joe
Earle indicated he would consider sitting on the Newcastle Community Improvement
Plan Liaison Committee.
Municipal Register Discussion — The discussion was deferred to a future meeting.
There was a discussion;on the municipal heritage inventory list of heritage properties
and what would be involved in updating this listing to be able to move these properties
to the municipal register. Starting with the primary buildings would be a good option.

11. Report on Alternative Meeting Schedules
That staff be directed to prepare a report on various meeting schedules by June,
2015.
The Clarington Older Adult Association’s
Response to
The Clarington Older Adult Strategy
•Strong opposition to COAA being absorbed by Community Services
Department
•Disappointment that we were not given an opportunity, before the
report was published, to offer an alternative vision for COAA
•Huge investment in recreational facilities in Clarington over the past 15
years, nothing of any significance for seniors other than the extension
of the Beech Centre, 17 years ago
The Clarington Older Adult Association’s
Response to
The Clarington Older Adult Strategy
•Annual grant from council, this year, is $310,000
•In real terms, we only get to spend $210,000 on programs for older
adults.
•This is to look after the social, recreational and fitness needs of nearly
2,400 seniors
•That’s equivalent to about $88 per person, per year.
•Not a bad bang for our Municipal buck!

Response to
The Clarington Older Adult Strategy
•Of the 43 recommendations in the report, only 19 address the actual
business that we’re in, and COAA, in our assessment, meets or
exceeds the expectations in every category
•The only exception is parking, which is an issue for the Municipality and
for COAA
•The next 19 recommendations are entirely devoted to the methodology
associated with the absorption of COAA by Community Services
•The last 5 recommendations talk about space, or the lack of it. Other
than recommending provision of more space, the report is just saying
‘keep monitoring the situation”
The Clarington Older Adult Association’s
Response to
The Clarington Older Adult Strategy
•The report stresses the need for more penetration, diversity and “outreach”
but offers no reasons why this cannot be achieved with the present model.
•The report says we’re doing a great job, but we’re not offered an
opportunity to show how we can reach the required level of penetration,
diversity and outreach.
•We believe that if CSD takes over, the costs to the taxpayer will increase
significantly
•We believe that we have great solution that will satisfy everyone and we
feel strongly that an adversarial situation helps none of us, least of all the
community we are striving to serve.
The Clarington Older Adult Association’s
Response to
The Clarington Older Adult Strategy
COAA’s Vision
•Give us 2 years to prove that our solution will work. If after 2 years we
cannot prove that penetration has increased, that our programs are
more diverse and that we are reaching out to more geographically
remote parts of the Municipality, we will willingly hand the reigns over to
a new administration.
The Clarington Older Adult Association’s
Response to
The Clarington Older Adult Strategy
COAA’s Vision
•Give us free access to the hall above Oronoarena. This allows us to
outreach to and provide more penetration to the communities in Kendal, Kirby
and Leskardand Newtonville.
•Give us free access to SolinaCommunity Centre This allows us to reach out
to Inniskillen, Burketon, Enfield, Mitchells Corners and Tyrone
•Give us the 3,000 square feet as promised in the report at the Courtice
Community Complex and Newcastle & District Recreation Complex –suitably
provisioned for us to provide a broad range of programs
•Can we take over or share Baseline Community Centre? This will greatly help
us to reduce the parking stress.
Real, concrete and totally achievable proposals that directly
address the penetration and outreach goals
The Clarington Older Adult Association’s
Response to
The Clarington Older Adult Strategy
COAA’s Vision
A new “membership” scheme:
•$15 basic membership payable by all members provides full access to
all Beech Centre and outreach centre’sprograms –drop-in and
program registrations remain the same
•$15 for “Action Card” enhanced membership privileges at all
recreational facilities owned by the Municipality. All proceeds from this
will go to CSD. Drop-in charges would be held to $1.35
The “Action Card” would also give COAA older adults access to:
•A potential partnership with the BowmanvilleTennis Club
•Clarington Fitness Centre’s pool during daytime hours rather than at
9:00 p.m.
The Clarington Older Adult Association’s
Response to
The Clarington Older Adult Strategy
COAA’s Vision
Staffing & Governance
•A senior representative from CSD joins our board to help us to implement
the outreach centres
•Leave the staffing structure unchanged during the trial period
The Clarington Older Adult Association’s
Response to
The Clarington Older Adult Strategy
COAA’s Vision
Our “vision” will:
•Increase penetration of the senior demographic in Clarington by offering
a broader array of programs
•Allow us to reach out to the remoter communities
•Meet the needs of a changing and expanding demographic
•Attract younger, more active seniors
•All of this, with only modest increase in costs –perhaps limited to 2 or
three part-time staff at the outreach centresand some additional
equipment
The Clarington Older Adult Association’s
Response to
The Clarington Older Adult Strategy
If we can be assured that our funding request will be
•
received for the next 2 years and if we can work
progressively and collaboratively with CSD over that
period, we can all make this work and the community will
benefit.
What do we have to lose? It’s a win-win for both sides and
•
everything we achieve over the next 2 years can do
nothing but re-inforce the long-term objectives.
