Re: Person of Character
Mayor Jones introduced Miss Clara Reeves, a young girl who showed
tremendous initiative and character by acting on a dream and raising
$1,455 to date, for the Stephen Lewis Fund, to help children in Africa with

seeds and then from an anonymous donor who contributed 500
customized seed packets to advance her efforts. Clara told of a dream

together to help the people in Africa, and she asked for everyone to help
her make a difference by sharing what we have as a community, and
make her dream come true.

Re: Resolution #A264/04 – Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe
THAT Council receive and endorse the following resolution:
THAT WHEREAS the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe
(herein “Growth Plan”) is an important step towards the Sustainable
Communities objective of The Living City in that both seek to promote
a “smart growth” model of compact urban development that conserves
natural resources and energy while promoting increased use and
availability of efficient public transit;
THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority (TRCA) advise the Ministry of Public
Infrastructure Renewal that TRCA supports the general directions of
the growth plan;
THAT to avoid undermining the intent of the Growth Plan, the province
consider increasing both the target for intensification and not permitting
urban boundary expansions within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) for
a period greater than 5 years, unless the target and other proposed
criteria have been met;
THAT the province consider increasing the time horizon for the Growth
Plan to beyond 30 years and that the additional projected population
growth beyond a 30 year planning horizon be contained within urban
growth boundaries established in accordance with environmental
carrying capacities identified through watershed plans;
THAT the province consider a growth management strategy that would
prevent any new or expanded lake-based water and sewer
infrastructure (excluding infrastructure approved but as yet unbuilt or
infrastructure required to address serious health or environmental
concerns) from being extended onto or over the Oak Ridges Moraine
(ORM);
THAT a growth management plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe
recognize the importance of locally significant natural heritage systems
in supporting the ecological integrity of provincially significant features
and areas and that as intensification and redevelopment of existing
urban areas occurs, an expanded and enhanced natural heritage
system will be required for long-term sustainability to withstand the use
and pressures of a projected population growth of an additional 3
million people;
Council Meeting No. 04-34 Page 4 of 15
Tuesday, November 9, 2004
THAT financial tools, incentives and standards, similar to those
proposed for brownfields redevelopment and intensification, be
developed to encourage the private sector and assist municipalities in
the enhancement of local natural heritage systems, implementation of
“green infrastructure” such as stormwater management retrofits and
the use of green building technologies that reduce energy consumption
and improve air quality, including provisions for renewable energy
sources, as part of a comprehensive plan to reduce the impacts from
and rate of climate change;
THAT TRCA support the coordination of the environmental
assessment and land-use planning process to ensure the protection of
local natural heritage systems and that the consideration of
alternatives reflects emerging technologies, innovative designs and
especially an appropriate balance of roads and transit;
AND FURTHER THAT this report be circulated for information to
TRCA’s watershed municipalities and conservation authorities within
the Greater Golden Horseshoe study area.
