: "v'e IifCStyles’ heritage in new plans for Park popular," said April Weppler, project manager, land management of TRCA What TRCA staff carne up with was a plan that will focus on health promotion, an active lifestyle and well- ness. “We know that people are more interested in active lifestyles as they deal with personal growth," Ms Wep- pler said. - TRCA’s research also revealed many of the people who attend the parks most popular event, the maple syrup festival, are also interested in learning about Canada ' Which is why TRCA staff created a framework of themes for the conservation area’s master plan, Cana- dian heritage and active lifestyles, both of which will consist of education and nature components. The active lifestyle component of the plan incorpo- rates fitness, trails, land and water-based play, picnics and the Community Safety Village. The heritage aspect of the plan includes an archeo- logical site just south of Stouflville Road, which was discovered during the roads reconstruction as well as the mill and maple syrup event. “They’re on a better track this time, it’s more focused,” said Councillor Clyde Smith, who attended the inforâ€" mation session. “is ward encompasses Bruce’s Mill. “They’re trying to make sure what happens there is compatible with the conservation area. “I. found all of that encouraging, (but) the truth is in the pudding. We only heard the themes. What does it mean in terms of active-use areas?" ‘TRUI‘H IN PUDDING' That question will not be answered until sometime next year. An internal revised plan is expected to be in place next spring, with a public meeting most likely to occur in the fall. Implementation is anticipated to start in 2012. However, some work on the trails has already begun. The informal trails, ones created by people continually walking the same routes, have been shut down, as has one formal trail, which cut through the wetland. “You definitely want to go in and see nature at its finest. But you don't want to impact nature," Mr. Bender 'said. “We felt it was an appropriate time to decommis- sion some of those trails impacting the environment."

In doing so. about 5,000 loads of fill have been brought in. A total of 7,000 loads of soil and 4,000‘loads of topsoil will be required prior to restoring the area, according to Ms Weppler. ‘lhe good news is the project is generating money for the TRCA.The bad news is there is no guarantee, according to Mr. Bender, BniCe's Mill will get any of that money for its facility. “We'd all be quite disappointed if that revenue gets diverted from somewhere else other than Bruce’s Mill,” said gardening guru and Whitchurch-Stouflville resident Mark Cullen. “For that money to go somewhere else would be criminal. The money belongs to Bruce's Mill." The contract to receive fill ends in 2011. MONEY FROM FILL-DUMPING SHOULD STAY AT MILL: CULLEN CANADIAN KNOWLEDGE SOUGHT From page 1.
