ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
FUND PRESENTATIONS (12.2.6)
Markham
Environmental Sustainability Fund monies are presented to community-based
projects and initiatives that promote environmental responsibility and innovation. Council congratulated the following five
recipients of funding in 2005:
Greensborough
Public School
The funding
will be used to promote a healthy and active lifestyle to students and link
them with a sustainable natural space as part of a healthy community. There will be three outdoor seating areas
created at the school that can be used by classroom teachers, or groups of
students for shaded meetings/classes and the areas may also be used as exercise
stops.
Toronto
and Region Conservation Authority and York Region Environmental Alliance
The funding
will be used to deliver sixteen organic lawn care workshops throughout Markham to teach
residents of Markham the basics of organic lawn care. They will be distributing 750 copies of a lawn
care manual with comprehensive information on organic lawn care and 100 lawn
care kits for residents getting started with their new lawn care programs.
Milne
Park Conservation Association
The funding
will be used to enhance natural habitats within the area of Milne Park
Conservation Area, which is part of the Rouge Park. The restoration area is located at the
westerly end of the park along the northerly property boundary. The plantings will provide erosion control and
increase wildlife habitat areas.
Ashton
Meadows Public School
The funding
will be used to build a natural playground to be available as an outdoor classroom
with seating for up to thirty children, providing an alternate setting to the
indoor classroom. The site, which is
located across the path from the Ashton Meadows Park, will extend this public
park for community use. The project will
be a natural area on the north side of the building where fifteen “seating”
rocks will be placed in a circle around a centre rock. Shade trees and native species will be
planted.
Thornhill
East Don Scouts
The funding
will be used to plant trees and shrubs in German Mills Settler’s Park along the

project will stabilize and prevent river bank erosion, beautify and naturalize
the park and improve wildlife and fish habitat.
