Abstract:

Among the actions needed to conserve biodiversity in Ontario is the completion of a network of protected areas. The Ontario Government committed to completing Ontario's protected areas network in order to conserve biodiversity in 1989. The provincial government announced, in February 1997, a land-use planning process that "will be used for making decisions on natural heritage protection" (Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources 1997). A framework and action plan on protected areas was publicly released by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (OMNR) after this announcement. This document and

Abstract:

This paper briefly looks at the use of graphical descriptions (Descriptive Plans) of land for provincial administrative purposes in Ontario. The four “W’s” of Descriptive Plans—Why use them/ When can they be used/ What they are and/ Where they can be found are discussed. The paper also touches on some recent applications and some of the perceived benefits and limitations with a description plan approach as Ontario’s land administration system continues to evolve.

Abstract:

To define science priorities for the conservation and management of southern Ontario's remaining forest, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources invited resource managers, planners and scientists working with numerous government and non-government agencies to a workshop on March 24 and 25, 1998. Participants identified their three top resource concerns for this region's forests. Some of these included: (1) protection of remnant natural areas, (2) declines in forest cover and woodlot quality, and (3) ineffective information transfer to private woodlot owners. Recommendations, including those

Abstract:

Ontario’s population of forest-dwelling woodland caribou is listed both federally and provincially as a species at risk. It is estimated that 20 000 woodland caribou remain in Ontario, of which approximately one quarter inhabit the boreal forest and are described as the sedentary forest-dwelling population. This paper examines the recovery strategy for this population developed by the Ministry of Natural Resources, as well as discussing the implications of provincial forestry policy on woodland caribou management.

Lack of a management framework on which to base silviculture options has plagued the forest management planning process in Ontario. The Forest Management Planning Manual for Ontario’s Crown Forests directs that strategic silvicultural options be developed and identified in terms of the (i) applicable forest unit, (ii) associated assumptions, and (iii) extent to which they can be used on a forest management unit. In this paper, we describe a framework for classifying management (or silviculture) intensity and propose definitions for extensive, basic, intensive, and elite intensities of silvicul

This suggests a high maternal genetic contribution to this trait. Conversely, no temporal heterogeneity in the spawning times of females with different mtDNA haplotypes was observed in an unselected government (Ontario Ministry of Natural Resourc

The study is based on 15 years of fire data and stand age data from Ontario, Canada. A re-examination of this report reveals serious flaws that invalidate the conclusions regarding effects of fire suppression on fire size and fire frequency. The fire-size data from the unprotected zone are censored in the small size cl

Abstract:

Forest management operations (harvest, renewal, tending, road construction and use) may affect the occupancy or productivity of nest sites used by stick-nesting birds (eagles, ospreys, herons, hawks, owls, corvids) either by directly disrupting breeding activities, altering habitat suitability, or creating new access that may lead to subsequent disturbance of nest sites by other forest users. On public land in Ontario, potential effects are mitigated through an area-of-concern planning approach that involves placement of buffers around nests that restrict the timing of forest management operat

Abstract:

In anticipation of the review and revision of Ontario's current site protection guidelines, a site disturbance task team was formed in 2004. Over the next two years, they conducted an extensive review of the scientific literature and existing guidelines from other jurisdictions, as well as engaging both forest industry partners and Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (OMNR) field services personnel in a consensus building exercise (i.e., client survey, field tours, and formal workshops). The goal of their efforts was to develop a set of provincial-level site disturbance standards with metric

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The Conservation Commission of Canada (CCC) was formed in 1909 as an advisory body to Liberal Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier. It was divided into eight committees, each of which dealt with the management of a specific natural resource. The Committee on Lands (CL) was composed of members who were unable to accept or understand the changes in contemporary agriculture as it moved into the twentieth century. Dr. James Robertson, chair of the CL, was a staunch agrarian romantic, who believed that the most important attribute of agriculture was the moral, individual and spiritual benefit wh

Abstract:

When Wabakimi Wilderness Park was created in 1983, conservation of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) was one of the primary considerations. Twelve years later, in April 1995, the Government of Ontario announced that the Park, measuring some 155 000 ha, was to be expanded into a ca. 890 000 ha protected area. This was done following 2.5 yr of deliberations of the Wabakimi Park Boundary Committee. The Committee tried to reach consensus on an expanded protected area by examining a variety of options in terms of criteria related to a range of key values, one of which was woodland caribo

The 2013 Ontario French Second Language (FSL) Curriculum emphasizes inclusivity and bilingualism; however, many students are recommended to opt out of French Immersion (FI). The opting-out of students may support the strengthening of the program by establishing a reputation of success, but how does it affect the withdrawn child? Are FSL programs using best practices to support all learners equitably, or catering to the elite students as a result of misconceptions, lack of resources and professional training?

Abstract:

The dispatch of water bombers and fire-fighting crews to newly reported fires is an important task carried out by modern regional forest fire management centres. The problem of bomber dispatch involves the use of aircraft of varying speeds, cost, and fire-fighting effectiveness. Candidate aircraft for dispatch can be situated at remote attack bases or at ongoing fires. The problem of crew dispatch also involves candidate crews situated at remote attack bases or at ongoing fires, but unlike bomber dispatch, helicopter transport must be arranged. A transport helicopter must be flown to the speci

The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (OMNR) and Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) have been engaged in developing an efficient and accurate methodology for inventorying wetlands. Their progress in this area has demonstrated that Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are crucial input for wetland identification and boundary delineation. The provincial DEM, however, has known precision limitations in areas of minimal topographic relief that cause considerable mapping error. This study explored whether wetland mapping derived from bare-earth light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data would overcome the l

The French Language Services Act, 1986 has had an impact on the provision of health care services in Ontario. The Ontario Ministry of Health's implementation of French-language services is examined in light of three criteria: permanency, quality and accessibility of services. Issues are raised around the measurement and creation of demand for services; the health human resources shortage; health care priorities; what constitutes a high quality service; and the influence of the political and economic climates. The continuing challenge is to provide permanent and accessible high quality French-l

Abstract:

Early settlers in southern Ontario aspired to become prosperous land-owning farmers; they began by cutting trees. Within a few decades, wind and water, unimpeded by forest cover, devastated soil and crops. Farmers were encouraged by groups such as the Ontario Fruit Growers’ Association to reforest some of their land. Farm forestry, as part of scientific agriculture, had a strong beginning in the early 1900s with the Ontario Agricultural and Experimental Union, but that movement was poorly supported until the 1930s, when the relationship between deforestation and water supplies reached a crisis
