Plans urged to protect Ontario's Wetlands
Postmedia Network
Land development in
Ontario has become a huge
drain on the province's
wetlands.
In a discussion paper
released this week, the
Ministry of Natural
Resources calls for the devel-
opment of a strategic plan
for Ontario wetlands.
"Wetlands continue to be
threatened by land conversion,
alterations to natural water lev-
els, invasive species, pollution
and climate change," the dis-
cussion paper says.
The plan would outline
steps to be taken over the
next 15 years to improve
wetland conservation,
including the possible adop-
tion of a "no net loss" policy
that would require any
destruction of wetlands to be
offset by rehabilitation of
lands elsewhere.
Wetland Conservation in
Ontario: A Discussion Paper
is posted online on the prov-
ince's Environmental
Registry. Ontarians have
until Oct. 30 to make
submissions.
Types of wetlands: Marsh,
swamp, and bog and fen
(peatlands).
Why wetlands matter:
Extremely productive and
biologically diverse habitats
that also improve water
quality and act as flood
control.
Swamped by develop-
ment: 70% of southern
Ontario's original wetlands
are gone.

HOME PLA ►' OF THE WEEK
RELEASE DATE: AUGUST 1n - AUGUST 1TM, 2015
PLAN NUMBER 1-3-663
ATTRACTIVE FAMILY HOME
An unfinished basement is included
in the plans for this attractive family
home, designed so the two -vehicle
garage, laundry room and a covered
entry are set at an angle from the main
building and form a partial courtyard.
The front door is protected by a porch,
always welcome in bad weather, and
leads into a spacious foyer. A coat
closet is ahead and to the left, opposite
the stairway to the basement. To the
right are two display cases, ideal for
collectibles.
Directly ahead, through a squared
archway, the great room features a
fireplace and sliding doors to the partly -
covered sundeck. The dining area is
tucked into a niche with large windows
that also look out to the sundeck.
The kitchen is separated from the dining
area and great room by a work island.
Natural light will come in through the
window above the double sink, and
the L-shaped counter configuration
will save steps for the cook. A roomy
walk-in pantry will provide
always -welcome extra storage space.
The laundry room is conveniently close
to the kitchen and across the corridor
from a powder room. Nearby is an
entryway with a handy closet, adjacent
to the double garage, which includes
another doorway on the opposite side.
In the sleeping wing, the master
bedroom is located at the back of
the home for privacy, and includes a
walk-in closet as well as a spacious
ensuite with double basins and a
soaker tub, as well as a shower stall.
The second and third bedrooms share
a three-piece bath. The third bedroom
overlooks the front garden and enjoys
an extra -deep sill that would make a
cosy window seat.
Ceilings on the main floor all measure
nine feet.
Exterior finishes include stucco, painted
pilasters with cut -stone bases, and
board -and -batten accents in the
gables. Decorative garage doors and
painted trim add a touch of elegance.
This home measures 78 feet, six inches
wide by 72 feet, nine inches deep.
