8. NOTICES OF MOTIONS
(1) MILNE
DAM CONSERVATION AREA
AS PART OF ROUGE NATIONAL
URBAN PARK (5.7)
Moved by Councillor
Carolina Moretti
Seconded by Regional
Councillor Gord Landon
Whereas the
Milne Dam Conservation Area is located within the Rouge River Watershed, is
publicly owned and operated, and has been identified as part of the Rouge Park
North lands since 2001 with the approval of the Rouge North Management Plan;
and,
Whereas the
Milne Dam Conservation Area was expanded by the Province of Ontario in 2004, in
the context of Rouge Park North announcements; and,
Whereas the
Milne Dam Conservation Area, owned by the Toronto Region Conservation Authority
and operated by the Town of Markham, forms the largest publicly managed Conservation
Area within the municipality, and is centrally located within Markham; and,
Whereas the
Milne Dam Conservation Area has tremendous potential to form part of the Rouge
National Urban Park, and to implement the vision and key themes of the Rouge
Park, and in particular the goals of “connecting people to nature and history”
and “conserving natural heritage”; and,
Whereas the
Milne Park Conservation Association has requested that the Milne Dam
Conservation Area be included in the Rouge National Urban Park; and,
Whereas
Markham Council on May 31, 2011, reaffirmed that the Milne Dam Conservation
Area is included in the Rouge Park North Management Plan, and resolved that
Council will give consideration to recommending the inclusion of the Milne Dam
Conservation Area as part of any future deliberations on the boundaries of a
Rouge Valley National Urban Park; and,
Whereas Parks
Canada has recently released the Rouge National Urban Park, Proposed Concept,
May 2012, which includes a Study Area Map and a draft park concept; and,
Whereas Parks
Canada is seeking public and stakeholder consultation on the Park Concept and
proposed Park boundaries:
Now Therefore
Be It Resolved As Follows:
1) That
the Town of Markham officially request the Federal Government include the Milne
Dam Conservation Area as part of the Study Area currently under consideration
by Parks Canada; and,
2) That
the Federal Government be further requested to include the Milne Dam
Conservation Area in Parks Canada’s Rouge National Urban Park Proposed Concept,
and subsequent strategic implementation documents and funding for the Park,
with a focus on the key themes of “connecting people to nature and history” and
“conserving natural heritage”; and further,
3) That
a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Prime Minister of Canada, the
Federal Minister of Environment, local MPs and MPPs, the Regional Municipality of
York, the City of Toronto and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
(TRCA).
(2) A
FEDERAL AND PROVINCIAL ROLE IN URBAN FORESTRY (5.0)
Moved by Councillor
Don Hamilton
Seconded by Regional
Councillor Jim Jones
Whereas over 80% of Canadians now live in urban areas
and have come to rely on the environmental, ecological and economic benefits of
urban forests; and
Whereas the health of Canadians is sustained by their
urban forests which provide services through improving air quality, cooling
city streets and buildings, acting as a windbreak, shading from harmful UV
rays, and filtering storm water, as well as beautifying our communities; and
Whereas neither
the federal nor provincial governments currently include urban forestry
in their mandates except in a limited role with respect to exotic, invasive
pests; and,
Whereas the Canadian
Food Inspection Agency has not been able to stop the spread of the Emerald Ash
Borer throughout Ontario and Quebec; and,
Whereas the Emerald Ash Borer is expected to cost
Canadians over $2 Billion dollars in treatment and replanting; and,
Whereas Canadian forestry programs and research are
solely focused on industrial forests and do not at present include urban tree
planting, appropriate species research, and insect control and management; and,
Whereas other jurisdictions such as the United States Forest Service and the European Urban
Forestry Research and Information Centre include urban forestry as a program
and research area; and,
Whereas Canada engages municipalities in a number of
substantial infrastructure programs;
Now
therefore be it resolved:
1) That the Town of Markham request that the Federal
and Provincial governments to take leadership roles in recognizing the need to
support urban forestry, by establishing urban forestry mandates and programs
which includes funding assistance to municipalities for the control and management
of the Emerald Ash Borer and any future significant imported diseases and
insects, as well as the creation and funding of programs designed to support
the on-going sustainable management of urban forests; and,
2) That all municipalities across Ontario be
encouraged to endorse this recommendation; and further,
3) That
copies of this resolution be forwarded to The Honourable Gerry Ritz, Minister
of Agriculture and Agri-Food; The Honourable Joe Oliver, Minister of Natural
Resources; The Honourable Denis Lebel, Minister of Transport, Infrastructure
and Communities; The Honorable Jim Flaherty, Minister of Finance; Local Federal
Member of Parliament; John McCallum; Honourable Michael Gravelle, Minister of
Natural Resources; Honourable Kathleen Wynne, Minister of Municipal Affairs and
Housing; Honourable Dwight Duncan, Minister of Finance; Local Provincial Member
of the Ontario Legislature, Michael Chan, Tim Hudak, MPP, Leader of Progressive
Conservative Party of Ontario and the Opposition Party; Andrea Horvath, MPP,
Leader of the New Democratic Party of Ontario; the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario; Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
