Some of the urban projects include:
Creation of a two Stormwater Quality Ponds in partnership with the Town of Aurora, Town of East
Gwillimbury and York Region. Dry ponds used to control water flow are being retrofitted to improve
water quality to reduce phosphorus and sediment from urban runoff,
Creating/restoring more than 500 metre
to reduce sediment from erosion, improve water quality by reducing phosphorus and reconnecting
natural floodplain,
Dam Removal in the Town of Aurora on a tributary of the East Holland River to remove a fish barrier,
stabilize 40 metres of eroding streambank and improve fish habitat.
Some of the rural restoration projects highlighted include:
Pangman Springs Dam Removal eliminated a barrier to fish migration and on-line pond which
warmed the cold water stream impacting fish habitat. The removal resulted in 400 metres of creek
and .4 hectares of wetland, as well as the planting of 2,000 native shrubs, trees and live stakes. The
barrier removal opened more than 2 kilometres of creek to fish migration.
Rogers Reservoir Grassland Enhancement Project, a four year project to create prairie habitat in East
Gwillimbury. Restoration staff and community volunteers are working together and have planted 230
shrubs and 580 herbaceous plants.
Goodyear Farms Remediation, a farm plan to reduce erosion and sedimentation on a 340 hectare
property in Beaverton was completed and works to install BMPs (two wet ponds installed, three
water and sediment basins, and grass waterways) is being implemented.
Many projects are also taking place in the Holland Marsh, and LSRCA has many community action
partners volunteering and promoting community awareness.

Dear Municipal Partner:
I am writing to let you know that the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services,
in collaboration with other ministries across government, is currently assessing
Poverty Reduction Strategy and is launchingconsultationsto inform the development of a
new five-year strategy, in accordance with the Poverty Reduction Act, 2009.
Our government believes that the peoplegreatest asset, and
when theysucceed, our economy and province succeed. However, we know that one in
seven Ontario residents live in poverty.
Empowering people andsupporting them during challenging timesis a priority for our
government. We also know that we cannot do this work alone. We are committed to
listening and working with individuals, communities, organizations, businesses, Indigenous
partnersand all levels of government.It is our shared responsibility to create the
conditions for success.To do so, we need organizations across the province to sharetheir
ideas and feedbackabout how we can work together to tacklepoverty.
Our goal is to drive progress and identify solutions to reduce poverty. To inform our new
Poverty Reduction Strategy, we will be asking Ontario residentshow we canencourage
job creation and connect people to employment opportunities;provide people with the right
supports andservices;andlower the cost of living and make life more affordable.
An online survey will be posted in January 2020 for a period of approximately 60 days. I
hope that you will respond to the survey and encourage members of your community,
including those who have experience living in poverty, to participate. We will share more
information about the survey in the new year.
