Mayor Foster welcomed students, parents and the public to the presentation of the
Twelfth Annual "Awards for Academic Excellence ". He advised the program was
developed in 2001 to recognize students from Clarington's local elementary and
secondary schools. Mayor Foster indicated that local elementary and secondary
schools were asked to submit the name of a graduating student who, in their opinion,
has demonstrated academic excellence combined with a commitment to leadership
and community service and tonight Council is pleased to recognize these students
from the schools in the Municipality of Clarington.
Mayor Foster indicated that the awards consisted of a permanent plaque for each of
the schools that are participating in the program with the name of the student
engraved on the school's permanent plaque. All of the schools that participated in
2012 have already received their permanent plaques. Mayor Foster advised that each
student is also being presented with a personal framed certificate and as a further
commitment to Council's recognition of local students, secondary students who are
being recognized will also receive a cheque for $100.00 as a bursary to further their
educational pursuits.

Award to Gord Lowery, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the community
after the age of 65. Mayor Foster acknowledged Mr. Lowery's voluntary service and
dedication to the advancement of sports for both children and seniors and his
dedication to the needs of the community's young people.
John O'Toole, MPP, Durham, addressed Council to present his annual update from
Queen's Park. Mr. O'Toole advised that the House has recessed for the summer;
however, there are Committees that will continue to meet to advance various
initiatives. Mr. O'Toole provided a review of current events within the Municipality's
jurisdiction including the Darlington New Build and Refurbishment projects, the
Durham/York Energy- from -Waste facility, the Port Granby initiative, Durham Regional
Police Services new building, the new Newcastle Fire Hall, and the waterfront. He
addressed the funding shortfall of the 407 East extension. Mr. O'Toole feels the
process has failed and that the east gateway should not end at Harmony Road. He
also expressed disappointment with the expropriation process as residents and
farmers are not being treated fairly, land is lying dormant and properties are being
vandalized. He also feels that the project will not be completed within the anticipated
timeline. Mr. O'Toole stated the recent increase in development charges are of
concern to him with the $50,000 cost of obtaining a building permit for a residential lot.
He also feels there should be more transparency in fees and taxes. Mr. O'Toole
discussed the Metrolinx proposal to fund infrastructure with I% HST and 5% gas tax
and the need for more accountability on where the money is being spent. Mr. O'Toole
stated he supports transit; however, Durham does not have the population density
required noting roads and automobile infrastructure is Durham's transit system.
Mr. O'Toole discussed the effects of the mandatory arbitration system on municipal
finances and the need for a fair way to resolve issues. He stated Public Sector
Agreements must reflect the ability to pay. Mr. O'Toole commended Council for
supporting a moratorium on wind projects noting he is not opposed to renewable
energy projects but for the right price and right location on a competitive basis.

expressed appreciation to Council and staff for the work undertaken in the staff report
and for moving forward in finding an alternate home for the COAA. He requested that
Council consider the COAA before making any decisions and extended an invitation to
Members of Council to visit the facility. Mr. Coles stated the future is now, the older
adults are here now and the Association needs to be able to provide programs and
services for them. He stated the COAA was built by members for members and that
they never want to lose sight of that but they are certain that they can replicate the
homey feel of the Beech Centre at another location. Mr. Coles stated the COAA
supports the recommendation but would like to ensure that the relocation of the COAA
and the creation of a liaison committee remain separate topics. He confirmed the
COAA is eager to work with Council and staff to ensure the needs of their zoomers

host" communities; forwarding a copy of correspondence addressed to

projects; and, suggesting that substantial change in the siting rules as well

Ted welcomed all to the meeting, everyone introduced themselves
The abattoir would be a small multi- species (beef, veal, hogs, Iamb, and goat) facility. There
would be a local consumer market in the GTA of about 3,000,000. The concept would be a new
generation co- operative in a limited partnership with an abattoir with customized products and
local branding. The group will be moving forward with the next steps indicated on the handout.
Lisa Backus provided an overview and update on where Planning Services is with the Official
Plan review. The most recently released document is the Natural Heritage System NHS (see
attached presentation). The mapping for the NHS has taken considerable time and there has
been detailed review in particular of the fish habitat layer to ensure that what is being placed on
Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington June 13th, 2013
the maps related to the aerial photos over a number of years. Lisa reviewed the items that are
being addressed because they are legislative requirements.
We have just had a series of public meetings; notification was extensive, from over 900 letters
to interested parties, newspaper ads, website announcements, etc. Ministry of Natural
Resources was included at two of the meetings to address Provincially Significant Wetlands
PSW specific concerns. We are looking for everyone's comments and then by the fall will be
providing a draft amendment to the Official Plan.
The next paper is the Countryside Paper which fits into the Natural Heritage System; the paper
should be released in early summer. The major discussion points in the paper are conformity to
the greenbelt plan and secondary uses in the rural countryside.
Business Arising from Minutes
Durham Agriculture Strategy (Region's report 2013 = EDIT -26); was approved by Regional
Planning Committee and goes to Regional Council on °June 26th. Faye is following up with the
Region with regard to comments #9 and #10 as there has not been'widespread knowledge or
sharing of what is noted as a LEAR study. The information has not been provided to the local
municipalities as the. Region does not own the data. Faye has contacted. 0MAFRA to obtain the
information. Until the information is received it cannot be determined whether this was a desk
top exercise and at what level of detail the LEAR was carried ou't.
The Ag Committee comments were,`;`W61i" received and for the most part addressed in the
comments table of the report. There""'' ill be some mechanism for annual reporting of
progress and benchmarks to ensure that,fhe strategy is working.

which meant no blogging). Blogging is one of the ways they have been able to.tap into the
younger generation. Preston Moving vans will be allowing one of their vans to have a vehicle
wrap promoting agriculture. Exploration into a new educational trailer is underway. The high
school program for September is in Port Perry with a minor modification to the format, there will

partner and the Durham Region Producers Cooperative will establish a limited partnership with equal investments of
$400,000 per partner.
Other support vehicles will provide $1,000,000 in Investment and the new venture will be able to secure both $1,187,503

who are under court order and ensuring compliance with those orders. As well,
they have been focusing on roadway safety. The results are indicating a positive
impact with a decline in reports and complaints. This month, the property crime
rates have declined and they believe this to be attributed to assigning officers to
the problem areas. Rolf confirmed that Clarington is a safe community with no'
major crimes reported. In response to Mayor Foster's request, Rolf committed to

Alternative Trail
Last fall some SWNA members walked a worn path along the northeast edge of the
wetland. The path is not well marked but is obviously well used. The committee agreed
that the entrances to this informal trail could be marked with signage including text that
the trail is "not maintained ". Mike Goleski volunteered to lead a walk through the trail
for any interested members at the end of the meeting.

reviewed the memo with the Committee.
4. COMMITTEE TASK #2: DISUSSION WITH GUESTS ON PRIORITY ITEMS #-A
(ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN NEW DEVELOPMENTS) (WATER SAVING IN
NEW AS WELL AS DEVELOPMENTS)
The Committee met with and had before them responses to their 10 questions from:
Rick Pigeon, Chief Building Official,
Carlos Salazar, Manager, Community Planning and Design, Planning Services,
Amy Burke, Sustainable Development Coordinator, Planning Services and
Glen Pleasance, Water Efficiency Coordinator, Works Department, Region of Durham
Mr. Pigeon reviewed recent changes to the 2006 Ontario Building Code that require new
Sustainable Clarington -2- June 20, 2013
Community Advisory Committee
construction to be 15% more energy efficient effective January 1, 2012 and a further 15%
more efficient effective January 1, 2014. He explained that similar levels of efficiency
improvements in toilets, urinals and shower heads are required in the aggregate, also
effective January 1, 2014. The Committee raised with Mr. Pigeon the need for training of
trades people about the new standards.
Mr. Salazar and Ms. Burke discussed "Priority Green Clarington ", a project authorized by
Clarington Council, led by the Planning Services Department and significantly financed by
the Ministry of Environment and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and assisted
by Mr. Pleasance. They explained that the project includes examining incentives, best
practices and guidelines for increasing the sustainability of new residential
neighbourhoods via the land development approvals process including: water and energy
efficiency that exceed the Ontario Building Code standards (as outlined by Mr. Pigeon),
protection of the natural environment, low impact storm water management measures,
complete communities and compact form /intensification. The project also involves
locating a partner from the local land development /building community to install a
selection of water and energy efficiency and (potentially) sustainable site development
measures in a sample of new homes that can then be compared with homes built in
accordance with the new Ontario Building Code standard (standard effective January 1,
2014). Lessons from other municipalities will be used to develop the guidelines
The Committee raised with Mr. Salazar and Ms. Burke the importance of
(a) establishing a baseline and then monitoring and measuring in order to evaluate
results
(b) educating homeowners about how to optimize the technology that assists with
conservation as conservation results are highly dependent on operational know how
(c) consulting with developers and builders as to what incentives matter to them, e.g.,
the value of time
(d) considering emerging provincial discussions on district heating and its relevance to
the project.
Staff thanked the Committee for this input and indicated that they would appreciate
feedback from the Committee on project reports and draft guidelines 'when they are
released and would be pleased to return to the Committee in the future to provide an
update on the project's progress. Staff advised that the project will proceed in accordance
with the key dates and timeline required of the Municipality in accordance with its grant
agreements with the Ministry of the Environment and the Federation of Canadian
Municipalities.
Mr. Pleasance discussed water efficiency in Durham, noting that Durham's program
began in 1996 and that water efficiency can create significant benefits including delayed
water and sewer plant expansions, reduced energy use and increased climate resiliency.
He noted that five homes replacing old toilets creates enough water capacity for one new
home. The Region's audit of water use at its own facilities lead to significant efficiency
gains.
Sustainable Clarington -3- June 20, 2013
Community Advisory Committee
Mr. Pleasance explained that a project that preceded and is influencing "Priority Green
Clarington" showed significant water and energy savings results: In 90 homes built by
Tribute Communities in Ajax, fixtures, appliances and front yards were upgraded resulting
in reductions of: 22.5% in indoor water use, 13% in electricity use and 10% in natural gas
use. It was found that 95% of water use indoors is from three sources: toilets,
showers /baths and clothes washers. Each have become vastly more efficient, e.g., 2014
toilets use 4.8 litres per flush as compared to 1997 and earlier toilets that use 20 litres per
flush. Similar rates of water savings have been found with showerheads and clothes
washers use 40% less water and 43% less electricity. Appliance and fixtures meeting
"WaterSense" certification was recommended. Overall, the Tribute Communities project
showed that minor changes meant that the average household used 150 litres of water
per day as compared to the average Durham home that uses 230 litres per day.
It was also found that outdoor water use increases by 50% in the summer with lawn
watering and that water treatment plants are sized to deal with 10 days of peak demand.
Increasing the ability to capture storm water through gardens, permeable walkways and
driveways, ditches, cisterns and rain gardens have also been found to significantly
reduce water use and treatment and reduce risks of flooding.
MEMBERS 5. COMMITTEE TASK # 3: ANY ITEMS COMMITTEE WISH TO RAISE
Committee members indicated that the longer term sustainability strategy should include
attention to adapting to climate change as mentioned at the last meeting, as well as
training on sustainability.
Curry Clifford indicated that the Council will be considering on June 24th (and to be
confirmed July 2nd) the appointment of a youth member to the Committee who is a
secondary school student served by the public school board and that nominations for a
student from the Catholic school board continue to be sought. He noted that this is
consistent with the Committee's request and that the result may be a new member or
members by the time of the Committee's next meeting.
Mr. Clifford also noted that Googledocs has been set up to store voluminous documents
for the Committee such as other communities' sustainability plans and that instructions on
access will be provided to the Committee. He asked that Committee members send him
documents that they would like stored at this site.
The meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m.

1i Proposed Accessible Fishing Trail 013 16
Section 1 m Executive Summary
Since 1981, the Bowmanville Creek Anglers Association has had a very successful relationship with
the Bowmanville Creek watershed in regards to addressing environmental concerns. This latest
project of promoting a venue for physically challenged anglers to enjoy their sport again emphasizes
the Associations commitment to raising the society's awareness of the importance of this river as a
recreational facility for all members of the public.
We at Sustainable Trails (2011) Ltd., feel honored to be considered as a possible team member in
this ground breaking accessible trail pilot project. It is our opinion that with our long standing .
accessible trail experience with the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority possibly coupled with
Dave Lawson's (President of the Bowmanville Creek Anglers Association) intimate knowledge of
fisheries will ensure success that could be duplicated along other areas within this watershed as well
as other rivers within the province

Proposed Accessible Fishing Trail — 013 - 16
Jamaica: The terrain and weather in Jamaica made it a challenge for the trail design crews. The
vegetation in the jungle was very dense and there seemed to always be a threat of a hurricane down
pour. Approx. 70 kilometres of a stacked loop trail system was planned, designed and data recorded.
These designed were transformed into a world class mountain biking facility by the crew leaders that
eventually trained the local people. The stacked loop system of trails were designated by degree of
difficulty and coded appropriately with the standard green (easiest), blue (moderate) and black (most
difficult) symbols.
Portugal:
The properties in Portugal were much small, averaging
200 to 400 hectares. These properties are connected by
public paths built by either the Romans or Moors from
north Africa. On the five parcels of land approx. 65 kms -- of trails were designed and laid out. Construction is still
underway. The terrain in the Marvao region of Portugal
is very rocky, providing a very sustainable and
challenging trail system.
Mexico:
The mexico project consisted of three parcels of land totalling approx. 180,000 acres. San Enrique -
EI Granizo was the largest (80,000 acres), with a 6,500 foot high mountain range that stretched 15
miles. The challenge in data collection and trail design
were mainly twofold. The extreme heat (sometimes 47C)
and the vegetation (everything seemed to have a long
thorn on it). Approx. 160 kms. of trail were designed in
part of the mountain range. Currently additional trails are
f
being designed and constructed.

Hybrid Contracting is where Sustainable Trails Ltd. provides the expertise in the design and layout of
a trail system. Next we shape the trail by using our machinery, then the trails are hand finished by,
usually volunteers, who make use of the hand tools supplied by us. In this form of contracting there is
a substantial saving s in the overall cost of constructing
the trails.

physically challenged could enjoy the experience in the forest as well as the beautiful vistas of
Douglas Lake.
The native crew spent a few sessions in the classroom learning the basic theories of trail design and
construction then had the opportunity to illustrate their newly learn skills in the field by first hand

Solutions on a project 20 kms. north on the Wascana s�
Nature Reserve owned by Saskatchewan Parks. The J,; % 't
property was and still is being developed for trails
recreation, with the focus being on mountain biking and
hiking. The first project we were involved with was
Canada's first hand cycle competition course developed
with the Regina Hand -cycle Club. The project comprised
of about 9 kms. of natural surface trails specifically L- '
designed to accommodate hand - cycles.
The trail network was designed as a stacked loop system that
included a progressive degree of difficulty trail system. The
crew is heading back this season to complete the project -
progress was delayed last season by the early onset of winter
conditions. The SK Parks is planning a series of three
workshops to be facilitated by Sustainable Trails (2011) Ltd.

In early the spring (2013) a crew from Sustainable Trails (2011) Ltd. began the planning, design and
construction of the Laura Secord Trail through Shorthills Provincial Park. The work consisted of:
establishing a multi -use hiking /walking trail from the Bruce Trail near Decew Falls down the Niagara
escarpment to a lower "bench" plateau, from this bench down to "Laura's Meadow" crossing the creek
on the newly placed bridge (by Rankin Construction) and then up over the "Hog's Back" ridge to rejoin
the existing socially built trail leading to the lower Rotary Park lands. There were two smaller re- routes
of the trail in Lower Rotary Park that were required to address public liability and environmental
(extensive erosion) concerns.

4.1 Project Manager
Bill GOULDING, Senior Project Manager,
Sustainable Trails (2011) Ltd.
Bill has been an avid trail user all his life — with concentration on mountain biking over the last 20
years — biked all over Ontario, Quebec, North Carolina, West Virginia. In the past six years, he has
decided to couple his past construction experience with his passion for outdoor recreation.
During his three year term at the University of Waterloo he took on the responsibilities as vice
president of the family construction business. He became the sole principal in 1977 and took over the
responsibilities of CEO. This past work experience included administering, owning and operating
companies that do large scale construction projects.
By creating Sustainable Trails Ltd with Richard Goulding, a recent venture that has completed design
build multi -use trail systems for such clients as Blue Mountain Resort,Toronto Parks &Recreation,
Saskatchewan Parks, Ontario Parks, The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and the
Township of King, they have leveraged their decades of experience in the commercial and industrial
construction to create a company that affords them the luxury of indulging their love of outdoor
activity. ( See Bill's CV in the Appendix)

5.2 Trail Design Parameters:
Unlike other outdoor design professionals we as members of the Professional Trailbuilders
Association, do not intend to manipulate the -
Raised Tread Construction
surrounding topography to suit a new trail system,
but rather blend or "massage" the new trails into
the environment. We view our profession as both t 4 = W
�.
an art and a science. In this case we intend to
raise the trail tread above the surrounding terrain Capped,vith
Above Ground .a. a(lgregate,
for long term sustainability. Rock
Foniidehn„
B.-low Ground
Therefore we emphasize three basic trail
parameters for many of our projects, namely they 1) are of sustainable design and construction have
low environmental impact, 2) have low environmental impact and 3) they enhance the intended users'
experiences.
Sustainable Design and Construction:
Our trail designs adhere to basic engineering principals that were developed for example by historical
trail builders as the ancient Romans, the British when colonizing their empire and summarized in the
book Trail Solutions compiled by the International Mountain Bicycling Association. Trails are placed
on the side - slopes of a site rather in flatter areas to ensure that any collected water will drain properly.
Engineered features such as "grade reversals ", "out- sloping" of the trail tread and mechanical
compaction reduce erosion. The results are that sediments are not deposited into the local
watersheds, achieving in minimal maintenance. This new trail system will have a maximum designed
average grade of 10 percent. This is paramount since the underlying soils are composed of mainly
sand and gravel which is very prone to erosion and displacement. ,I
These lower grades will classify this trail as "beginners which is in
g Y g�
���
keeping with the intended use of being a Children's Trail. Mechanically N
compacting the completed trail surface gives a durable surface
immediately ready for use and does not
' Y1
rely on the trail to "weather" in over time.

as well as providing a siltation filter for any fines that could be directed at the surface water courses.

Low Environmental Impact:
We let the environment speak to us. Rather removing large trees, we design the trail around them. We
place leaf litter along the side of the trail to giving an edge definite which helps to keep the users on
the trial. As well these leaves act as a natural siltation fence during construction as well as post
construction again minimizing sediments into the watersheds. All of our construction equipment is
"sized" to remain within the trail corridor, resulting in minimal disturbance.
All of the equipment that we employ is on
rubber tracks to reduce it's impact on the
surroundings. We have numerous
pieces of machines in our "quiver" to
choose from - sizing the pieces to the
designed specifications of the trail. From
600mm (24 ") wide micro excavators to the z
right to 900 - 1200mm (36" - 48 ") mini excavators shown below, each is utilized to construct the trail
tread with minimal impact outside of the intended trail corridor. Our walk behind mini track loader
(shown upper right) handles grading with the six way blade attached, or compaction when our
compactor is installed.
Material handling is accomplished with
our fleet of motorized tracked carriers,
moving either soils / ranulars for trail
g 9
tread, or lumber materials for trail
structures. All of our crew members
have been trained in trail building and
demonstrate our focus on low environmental impact.
Enhancing the User Experience:
i
�F
As mentioned earlier in this document, we feel that we are very privileged to be part of this
innovative project. Professional Trailbuilders feel that designing and constructing a trail with
X iL
TRAIfLS -_ 3451 Zion Rd. Port Hope, ON L1A 3V7 page: 11
/ Proposed Accessible Fishing Trail — 013 - 16
the intention of enhancing the user experience encourages the trail users to remain on the
trail tread resulting in: - reducing the spread of invasive species, - minimizing the impact on
the surrounding trees by not compacting the soil over the roots systems, often seen with
"socially build trails ", - discouraging the trail user to leave the trail to explore "found"
endangered species, all resulting in a narrower trail tread by reducing "braiding" or widening
of the trail surface.
Our staff is the design lead consultant on the proposed Robert Bateman Trail, planned to be
constructed in the environmentally sensitive valley systems in the City of Toronto. The Robert
Bateman Foundation made the decision to partner with us mainly due to our low impact
methods of trail design and construction, all the while enhancing the user experience. This
planned interpretative trail, is very similar to the proposed Laura Secord Trail, as they are
both in sensitive areas and both based on the significant personalities of Canadian history,
thought the Bateman Foundation is focused on the importance of art influencing our cultural
heritage.
5.3 Description of Contract:
Sustainable Trails (2011) Ltd. will prepare a standard "lump sum" form of contract where the final
budgeted amounts will be shown on their final billings.
Though, to encourage the engagement of all the user types and promote "buy -in" by the community at
large, it is our suggestion that this contract be framed as a "hybrid" contract, where for construction we
"rough -in" the trail tread and the hand finish work which follows would be completed by volunteers.
v
'r ¢ Our firm provides up to sixty (60) hand finishing tools as well
+ as a "tail- gate" crew meeting at the start of each day where
'{ the volunteers will be instructed in hand finishing techniques
and well as more importantly stressing the safe handling of
these hand tools.
In the past the
land managers
have provided a
BBQ style of lunch break, and refreshments for "coffee"
breaks. We encourage the land owners to solicit the
donations of the supplies for the lunches and breaks from
local markets and /or grocery stores. We have found that
this builds support from some of the local businesses by
being engaged in the overall process. This pioneered support often evolves into a economic
development strategy for the region where larger trail systems are planned.

of a trail system. Next we shape the trail by using our machinery, then the trails are hand finished by,
usually volunteers, who make use of the hand tools supplied by us. In this form of contracting there is
a substantial saving s in the overall cost of constructing the trails.

workshops on this and other properties for the TRCA.
This two day volunteer workshop was funded by the Trillium Foundation.
Trail Training Workshops:
In June 2010 at the Ontario Trails Council's TO Trailhead Conference in the Don Valley Toronto, we
conducted a two day workshop for some of the conference
attendees. We had over 40 participants in this workshop who helped
in completing a restoration project for the Toronto Parks and
Recreation Department. We supplied all the personal protection
equipment along with our
50 hand tools that were
used to establish areas of
root protection adjacent to large maple and oak trees that
had exposed roots due to erosion caused by heavy user
traffic.
Sections of
the existing trail tread were build up over these exposed
roots by using a new method of a small retaining wall
and then capped with natural materials to stabilize the
the wear surface.
Sustainable Trails Ltd. has been contracted with the
Ontario Parks Association (OPA) to provide a series of trail workshops across Ontario. These
workshops are designed to be an introductory into the methods of trails design and construction. The
purpose is to encourage the participants to seek out more in depth training that well be offered
through a collaborative of the OPA, the Ontario Trails Council (OTC) and Sustainable Trails Ltd.
Presently Sustainable Trails has been contracted by Fleming College (Lindsay campus) to instruct
advanced trail training courses.

The initial OPA training workshop was held in September at the Humber College Arboretum. The new
section of trail designed and constructed by the workshop will become a section of an interpretative
trail, used by the arboretum staff to display the techniques of planting and maintaining fruit and nut
bearing trees in an urban setting.
The participants were mainly municipal employees, both from the in office managerial staff (landscape
architects) and in the field crew supervisors.
Everyone enjoyed the extensive trail design portions of the training and all put their backs into
constructing the first sections of the interpretative
trail.
As well we provided instruction of the methods of ` - .� r �. �-4d
mechanized trail building. The course finished with
a short quiz, with the students receiving a
certificate of completion.

For the past four years the Toronto Parks and Recreation Department has contracted with
Sustainable trails Ltd. to provide trails training workshops for the trail users on their trails in the Don
Valley. The two most recent training sessions are as follows:
Toronto Off Road Bicycling Association) and the "Wild
Bettys" a women's competition cycling group. Again we
provided the personal protection equipment and the tools
for the event. Both the ladies and the men learned basic
trail building skills and completed maintenance on the
steeper sections of the advanced trail loop.
Sustainable Trails Ltd. has completed 7 + kms of multi
use trails in the Caruthers Woods section of the Don
Valley trail network.

Recently we facilitated a one day trails
training workshop, again with TORBA
and the "Lap Dogs" bicycle club. This
club is comprised of both women and
men and have members that compete in
M
TS
both on and off road events.
In October 2010, we partnered with the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority ( CLOCA) on a
volunteer trails training the highlighted a local hiking group called
the "Hiking Buddies ".
This workshop was held at the Enniskillin Conservation Area north of Bowmanville, Ontario. The
workshop followed our standard form of "hybrid" contracting where the land manager provided the
worksite and park building for lunches and in class instruction.
The "Hiking Buddies" provided the labour to hand finish the
machine cut trial constructed by Sustainable Trails Limited. The
CLOCA staff are seen on either end of the group in the photo on
the left.
The hiking group volunteers enjoyed putting their "sweat equity"
back into a trail system that they have experienced on frequent trips to the conservation areas.
A quote from one of the members:
"As a Hiking Buddy, I had great fun with all the others giving
back this way .. special thanks to Bill of
www.SustainableTrails.com for doing all the prep work with
his custom -trail machinery so it was much easier on us
manual labourers"

This note is further to our meeting May 31 regarding the plan by the Bowmanville Creek
Anglers Association to build a fishing area at the Bowmanville Creek Valley that would
be accessible by disabled persons, including children and adults who use wheelchairs.
Clearly, the Association has put considerable thought into this initiative to ensure a
portion of the Bowmanville Creek Valley is set aside for anglers with disabilities to fish.
understand this project would include stabilization of the creek bank, along with a fully
accessible fishing platform and pathway.
am familiar with the work of the Bowmanville Creek Anglers Association as a former
member of Municipal Council and as Member of Provincial Parliament for Durham since
1995. You and your organization are to be commended for over 30 years of leadership
in enhancing the natural ecology and fish habitat of the Bowmanville Creek Valley. The
Association has been a driving force behind the original fish ladder project and the new
fish channel being built later this year through Valleys 2000.
I have every confidence in the Bowmanville Creek Anglers Association to plan, to raise
funds, and to build the fishing area where disabled persons can enjoy the outdoors and
the sport of fishing. Please accept my best wishes for success. If you feel that this letter
would be helpful in supporting your application, do not hesitate to share it with the
Ontario Trillium Foundation.
As always, if there is additional follow -up that I can provide, please call or write.
Yours truly,f' f�

Since 2006, we have been conducting trail
building workshops with the Conservation
Ontario, the Ontario Parks Association, Fleming
College, the Ontario Trails Council, Humber
College, and Saskatchewan Parks.
As well Sustainable Trails promotes the "hybrid"
form of contracting, where we build the a
roughed -in machine build trail and supply the
land manager with workshop crew leaders and
50 hand tools for volunteers to complete the trail
finishing. The result is increased community
involvement through the public's investing their
"sweat equity" into the trail.
